5、了树,也冲倒了他们。 3. 要.先. You should be a pupil before you become a teacher. 要当老师,先作学生。 二、掌握热点句型用法It was not long before.(过去)没过多久就. It was not long before he returned to Beijing. 不久他就回到北京。 需要特别注意,该句型可以进行创新,可将否定句改为肯定句(It was long before.过了很久才.)或将一般过去时改为一般将来时(It will not be long before.要不了多久就.;It will be lon

9、尚未就” 例1: Why didnt you tell him about the meeting? (2006年四川) He rushed out of the room I could say a word. A. before B. until C. when D. after 解析: 答案为A。题中before意为“不等就”、“尚未就”,它表示从句的动作尚未来得及发生,主句的动作已发生或完成。全句句意为:我还没来得及说他就冲出了房间。又如: Before I could get in a word, he had measured me. 我还没有来得及插上话,他就给我量好了尺寸。 T
10、he phone stopped ringing before I answered it. 我还没有来得及接,电话就挂了。 2 before表示“不知不觉,还没弄清就”(常用于before sb. knowrealize) 例2: Several weeks had gone by I realized the painting was missing. (2004全国) A. as B. before C. since D. when 解析: 此题最易错选C或D项,而正确答案为B。用since则时间延续到了现在,在时间上与had gone矛盾;用when则无法强调时间流逝的不知不觉性。又如
11、: Time passed quickly and three months went by before I knew it. 时间飞快地流逝,不知不觉3个月过去了。 3 before表示“以免,不然” 例3: Its cloudy. Take an umbrella you regret it. A. but B. and C. after D. before 解析: and及but表示并列关系,不合语境;after意为“在之后”,不合常识,应是在下雨前带伞;before在此处意为“以免你后悔”。before作此意义的用法的例子不少,又如: Put that away before it
12、gets broken. 把它收好,以免砸了。 Do it before you forget. 尽早动手,不然忘了。 4 before用于it was / will be 时间 before . 句型中。 例4: It wont be long you regret what you have done. A. after B. before C. since D. until 解析: It was / will be 时间 before . 表示“过了多久才(强调时间的长)”,在否定句中则表示“没过多久就(强调时间的短)”。例如: It will be two years before w
13、e meet again.我们要过两年才能见面。 It wasnt long before he married again. 不久他就又结婚了。 We didnt wait long before he came back. 我们没等多久他就回来了。 5 before表示“与其宁可,比优先”(用于表优先顺序) 例5: They would fight to death they surrendered(投降) A. before B. after C. since D. because 解析: 答案为A。before引导的从句在与will, would连用时,有“宁愿也不”的含义。befor
14、e即使是作介词用也有此意义。例如: True men choose death before dishonor. 大丈夫宁可杀不可辱。 Id die before I apologize to them! 我宁死也不愿向他们道歉!

A. unless B. since C. although D. when 本题答案为D,
16、考查when作连词的用法。此处when相当于if,意为“如果,要是”。 下面我们来归纳一下when 的用法: 1.作疑问副词,意为“什么时候,什么场合”。如: I dont know when he died. 我不知道他何时去世的。 Since when has he been missing? 他是从什么时候失踪的? 2.作关系副词,引导定语从句。如: He came at a time when we needed help. 他在我们需要帮助的时候来了。 Well never forget the day when we joined the Party. 我们永远不会忘记我们入党的那

18、然,考虑到”。如: How can they learn anything when they spend all their spare time watching television? 他们把所有的空闲时间都用来看电视了,还能学什么东西呢?

19、en you say “Please”. 你要是说“请”,这苹果就是你的。 He will likely recover when he undergoes the operation. 如果动手术的话,他可能会复元。 When he receives the letter, hell tell us. 他要是收到信就会告诉我们的。 Ill do that when necessary. 有必要我就会那样做。 How can you hope for mercy yourself when you show none? 如果你不宽恕别人,你自己怎能希望得到别人的宽恕呢? 引导并列分句总是置于另
20、一分句之后,不可前置,相当于and just at the time。如: I was just about to go swimming when luckily our guide saw me and shouted at me. 我正要去游泳,这时我们的导游看见我并对着我喊叫。 We were watching TV, when suddenly the light went out. 我们正在看电视,灯突然熄了。by 与 before 当英译终止时间时,比如“在某月某日之前”,如果包括所写日期时,就用介词 by;如果不包括所写日期,即指到所写日期的前一天为止,就要用介词 before
21、。 例如:卖方须在 7 月 15 日前将货交给买方。The vendor shall deliver the goods to the vendee by July 15.(or: before July 16,说明含 7 月 15 日在内。如果不含 7 月 15 日,就译为 by July 14 或者 before July 15。只能用于过去时,放在表示“时间段”的词语之后,表示从现在算起的一段时间之前,如: (他的父亲年前去世了。) 后接“时间点”,可用于任何时态,如: (她点钟以前就到了办公室。) (我们希望点钟前回到家。) 注意: ()单独使用,常与现在完成时连用,也可与一般过去时连
22、用,如: (我以前从未见过他。) (我从未见过他。) ()也可放在表“时间段”的词语后,与过去完成时连用,表示从过去某时刻算起的若干时间以前,如: 在历年的高考中,状语从句是单项填空部分的热点和重点。同时,由于状语从句的种类繁多,因此也是高中英语教学的难点。纵观近几年的全国高考试题,考查的重点仍是考生容易混淆的近似连词的用法,试题结构趋向复杂,设问的角度也趋向多样化。 1、做状语从句题目时一定要思维清晰。关键是要把握分句间的逻辑关系,做出正确的选择。2、要具备相应的状语从句的知识,熟悉连接词的意义和语用特征。如as, since, when, before, while 等不易掌握的词。对于状
23、语从句考点来说,辨析从句的连接词是考查得最多的知识点。作好这类题目的关键是要熟练掌握各个连接词或短语的具体含义,尤其是同一个词用于不同语境,不同类型状语从句中的具体意义。考点1:when引导的状语从句【例题1】(05-上海-34)He transplanted the little tree to the garden _ it was the best time for it.A.where B.when C.that D.until【例题2】(05-福建-24)-Did Jack come back early last night ?-Yes.

28、 when/be on the point of doingwhen(正要做某事就在这时)/ be doingwhen (正在做某事就在这时)考点小结-when 的用法1、当时候参看【例题2】解析2、since; considering that 既然;考虑到,参见【例题1】&【例题4】3、并列连词,意为at that time, 参看【例题3】&【例题5】解析4、句型:when it comes to 要是提到,要是提及eg.
