第六讲并列句和状语从句

建议用时：20分钟

Part Ⅰ.单句语法填空

1．[2017·北京朝阳区期末]It is freezing here. Wear your coat, ________ you'll catch a cold.

答案：or 结合语义可知，此处表示“否则，要不然”的意思，故填or。

2．[2017·山东枣庄质检]The streets were crowded with people ________ the shops were full of wonderful things.

答案：and 句意：街上挤满了人，商店里都是很棒的东西。根据句意可知，两句子之间为并列关系，故填and。

3．[2017·江苏镇江模拟]We thought that, ________ we were in the area, we'd stop by and see the places of interest.

答案：since 句意：我们认为，既然到这了，我们不如驻足一会儿，看一看这儿的名胜。由句意可知，此处填since表示“既然”。

4．[2017·哈六中模拟]However, when I had to go back ________ I forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished picking them up by herself.

答案：because/since/as 根据句意并结合前后两句的逻辑关系可知，此处需用一个表因果关系的连词，故填because/as/since。

5．[2018·北京西城模拟]________ I get home late，Grandma always leaves a light on for me.

答案：Whenever whenever “无论何时”；根据句意，“每当”我回家晚了，故填Whenever。

6．[2017·天津模拟]—Don't look down upon Bob. He has his own advantages.

—Oh, yes, ________others are weak, he is strong.

答案：where where可以引导表示抽象意义的地点状语从句。此处表述别人的弱点正是他的强势所在。故填where。

7．[2018·江苏南通月考]________ serious a problem you may have, you should gather your courage to face the challenge.

答案：However 由语义判断此处表述“无论多么严重”。故填However，引导让步状语从句。

8．[2017·江苏南京模拟] These young people are not suitable for such a simple job in an office, ________ they are adventurous and creative in nature.

答案：because 句意：这些年轻人不适合办公室里这么简单的工作，因为他们天生具有冒险精神并富有创造力。此处表示直接原因，故填because。

9．[2018·杭州质检]Remember that you won't be able to cancel the order ________

you've signed.

答案：once 句意：记住一旦你签了字，就不能取消订单。根据语义可知，此处表示条件，故填once。

10．[2018·浙江温州十校联考]Good news never goes beyond the gate, ________ bad news spreads far and wide.

答案：while 句意：好事不出门，坏事传千里。结合语义可知，此处填while表“转折和对照”。

Part Ⅱ.单句改错

1．[2018·广州检测]Because my arms looked weak, my mother trusted that I could hold the baby.

________________________________________________________

答案：Because→Although/Though根据语义可知，两句之间为让步关系，而非因果关系，故应将Because改为Although/Though。

________________________________________________________

答案：while→when根据句子结构可知，此处连词表示“在那时候”，故用when。固定句型“be doing ... when ...”意为“正在做某事，这时……”。

3．[2017·山东日照模拟]I would have enjoyed a perfect afternoon unless it had not been for an unfortunate incident.

________________________________________________________

答案：unless→if根据语义可知，此处表示肯定条件，也是if引导的虚拟条件句，故将unless改为if。

4．[2017·浙江暨阳模拟]Summer isn't exactly flu season, so that you have flu-like symptoms after a long day in the sun, you may be to blame.

________________________________________________________

答案：that→if结合句意，夏天不是流感的季节，因此如果你在太阳下呆了一整天后，有流感的症状的话，你自己该为此负责。这里不是so that引导的结果状语从句，因此将that 改为if。

5．[2018·广东惠州高三模拟]There are a number of companies that create robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology to computer science, because such tools have not become widespread yet.

________________________________________________________

答案：becau se→though由主句中的“create robots to teach”和从句中的“have not become widespread yet”可知主从句之间的逻辑关系不是因果关系，而是让步关系，因此将because改为though。句意：有大量的公司制造教学生们从生物到电脑科学的机器人，即使这样的工具还没有广泛普及。

Part Ⅲ.语法填空

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

[2017·河南鹤壁质检]I was riding in a taxi to the bus stop where I was supposed to take the bus to NYC. It was going to be a long journey and I __1__ (pack) some

chocolates to eat on the way before I set off. When the ride was over, I paid the driver the due amount along__2__ a tip. He offered to get my suitcase out of the trunk.

I collected it and started walking away. So did the__3__(drive).

However, something in my heart stirred. __4__occurred to me that I had an opportunity to perform an act of__5__ (kind). I was so__6__ (excite) that I decided to give away all the chocolates to the driver. After all, he had served me, even__7__it was just his job. I gave them away, __8__ (see) the bright smile light up his face and the eyes shine as if they were the star Sirius, and felt my heart__9__ (fill) with happiness. It was neither a big act nor a very giving one, but it was__10__ (true) joyful. I believe the kindest things we can do for others, are often the simplest.

1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________

5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________

9．________ 10.________

篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者乘坐出租车后，把随身携带的所有巧克力糖送给司机，这个小小的善举让出租车司机很激动，并且作者自己也获得了快乐。

1．had packed 考查动词的时态。由before I set off可知，pack所表示的动作发生在set off 之前，故使用过去完成时。此处表述出发之前“我”带了一些巧克力糖准备在路上吃。

2．with 考查固定搭配。along with “除……之外(还)”。

3．driver 考查词性转换。根据句意，我走了之后，那个司机也走了，故填driver。

4．It 考查代词。It在句中作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的that从句。It occurred to sb. that ... “某人想到……”。另外，it 位于句首，首字母注意大写。句意：然而，我的内心萌生起一些东西。我想到我有这么一个机会来做一个善举。

5．kindness 考查词性转换。根据空前的an act of和提示词kind可知，空处是想表示行为的特征、性质，of为介词，后面应接名词，故填kindness。

6．excited 考查词性转换。分析句子成分可知，本句中缺少表语，主语是人，故用excited “兴奋的”描述其心理特征。

7．though/if 考查让步状语从句。句意：毕竟，他为我服务过，即使这只是他的工作。根据句意和两句之间的逻辑关系可知，这里是让步关系，空前又有even。故只能用从属连词though/if。

8．seeing 考查非谓语动词。空处逗号前是一个完整的句子，且逗号后没有主语，也没有连词，故空处作状语。see的逻辑主语是I，且是主动关系，所以填seeing。

9．filled 考查非谓语动词。本句主语是I，谓语动词是felt，宾语是my heart，动词fill和它的逻辑主语heart 之间是被动的关系，故填filled，在此作宾补，表状态。

10．truly 考查词性转换。空处修饰形容词joyful，要用副词形式，故填truly。句意：这既不是一个大的举动，也不是一个非常慷慨善良的举动，但却能使人由衷地感到快乐。

[剖析]由定冠词the可知，此处应填名词，由谓语动词are和require可知此处 应用复数形式changes。 3．有个别空可能是词义转换题，词性不一定要变，主要是考查与词根意义相 反的派生词，需根据句子意思及前后逻辑关系，在词根前加un-，im-等，在词根
