状语从句

　　一、状语从句的本质。就是用一个句子来作另外一个句子的状语。

　　状语从句的分类：时间状语、地点状语、原因状语、结果状语、目的状语、条件状语、让步状语、比较状语、方式状语。

　　2005年例句

　　2.地点状语从句

　　Where 引导地点状语一般总是放在主句的后面。例如：

　　3.原因状语从句

　　Since从……起;因为……

　　比较特殊的连词：in that因为的意思。例句：The girl is like her mother in that she also has very delicate feeling.

　　Now that…因为;given that…

　　4. 目的状语从句

　　lest… 唯恐，害怕;for fear当心，害怕引导的是虚拟语气。谓语是should +动词原形。should常省略。

　　5.结果状语从句 有两种引导法so…that; so that; such…that; such that

　　2001年例句：Conversation becomes weaker in a society that spends so much time listening and being talked to ________ it has all but lost the will and the skill to speak for itself.

　　A. as B. which C. that D. what

　　把so…that; so that; such…that; such that中的so或such放在句首形成倒装句。例如：

　　So fast does light travel that it is difficult for us to imagine it’s speed.

　　to the extent (that)表示结果

　　to some extent 表示在……之内。在某种程度上

　　6.条件状语从句 用unless; if 引导

　　难点：only if ; if only

　　only if是“只有”的意思; if only是“只要”意思。2000年例句：

　　He can continue to support himself and his family ____ he produces a surplus.

　　A. only if B. much as C .long before D. ever since

　　要记住：supposing (that)…;provided (that)…;on condition that…

　　While当……时候;然而，但是

　　重点：与as有关的让步状语从句

　　由as 引导的倒装句

　　adj.,adv.,分词，名词，短语+as+主语+谓语。

　　例如：Child as he is, he can remember a lot of things.

　　as 或so+adj+as+主谓结构

　　例如：As much as John hates to do it, he must stay at home and study tonight.

　　8.比较状语从句

　　重点讲倍数为题

　　1.倍数+比较级A is three times bigger than B.

　　2.倍数+as…as 结构。A is three times as big as B.

　　3.倍数+名词结构A is Three times the size of B.

　　No more than 特点：

　　1. No more than=not any more than

　　2.从功能上看往往表示两个事物之间的类比关系。

　　3.从意义上看是和……一样。

　　Not so much as

　　结构上有两种1. Not A so much as B.

　　2.not so much as B.与其说A，不如说B。
