从属连词用来引导状语从句或宾语从句等。常用的有that, because, before, after, until, since, when, while, if, whether, although (though)等。

例题选析

1. She can’t speak any Japanese, _______ she is in trouble in Japan.  

A. or   B. so   C. but   D.

解析:“她在日本遇到困难”是因为“她不会说日语”,因此本题应用表示因果关系的连词so。答案是B。

2. Tony is a clever boy, _______ he usually fails in Chinese exams.  

A. so  B. but  C. or    

解析:阅读题干,我们可以判断出连词前后的两个句子间具有转折关系,因此用连词but。答案是B。

3. Study hard, _______ you’ll pass the exam.

A. or   B. and  C. but   

解析:本题考查and, or在祈使句中的用法。“祈使句+or/and +简单句”是一个固定句型,此句型中的祈使句在意义上相当于一个if引导的条件状语从句。and=if you…, you’ll…; or=if you don’t…, you’ll…。如:

Use your head and you you’ll find a good idea.=If you use your head, you’ll find a good idea.

Be careful, or you will make mistakes in your exams. = If you don’t be careful, you will make mistakes in your exams.

根据语境,本题应属于考查前一种情况。答案是B。

4. I didn’t know he came back _______ I met him in the street.  

A. since   B. when    C. until     

解析:本题意思是“直到在街上见到他,我才直到他回来了”。只有填until才能有前面的not构成not…until…结构,也才能符合语境。答案是C。

5. He missed the train this morning _______ he got up late.

A. when  B. if  C. because

解析:本题中的he got up late是用来陈述he missed the train this morning的原因的,故用because引导原因状语从句。答案是C。

6. You’ll do much better _______ you’re more careful with your spelling.  

A. if   B. before  C. whether

解析:you’re more careful with your spelling应该是you’ll do much better的条件,故应用if引导条件状语从句。答案是A。

7. None of the shoes in the shop fit me well. They are _______ too big _______ too small.

A. both, and  B. either, or  C. not only, but also

解析:既然“这个商店中的鞋没有很适合我的”,那么只能是“要么太小”“要么太大”了。故用either…or…(要么……要么……)。答案是B。

8. ―Who will teach you to swim this summer?

―The twins. _______ Lily _______ Lucy swim very well.

A. both, and   B. neither, nor  C. either, or 

解析:根据句意及谓语动词swim可知答案。因为neither…or…, either…or…, (not only…but also…)连接并列主语时,谓语动词要与后面的主语在人称和数等方面保持一致。答案是A。

9. _______ he isn’t rich enough, he often gives away money to some poor children.

A. Though    B. whether    C. Because   

解析:本题只有翻译成“尽管他不富裕,但他经常把钱捐给一些穷孩子”才通顺,故应用though来引导让步状语从句。答案是A。

10. My brother is going to look for another job _______ the company offers him more money.

A. after  B. when  C. unless    

解析:本题意思是“我弟弟要去找另一份工作,除非这个公司给他较高的工资(如果这个工资不给我弟弟较高的工资,他就要去找另一份工作)”,unless是从属连词,引导条件状语从句,相当于if条件状语从句的否定形式。after意思是“在……之后”;when意思是“当……的时候”,均不合题意。答案是C。
