从以上四级真题我们可以看到对让步状语从句的考查特点:一是让步状语从句与其它状语从句的对比,如③,另一种是让步状语从句连词自身的结构功能,如①②两题。下面我们就一起来看让步状语从句的连词功能:
1) although/though连接让步状语从句,表?quot;尽管",从句用直陈语序,与汉语的结构类似。
2) as引导的让步状语从句要求用倒装结构,如②题。可提至句首的有名词、原形动词、副词、形容词等。可数名词单数形式不用冠词。如:
Child as he is, he behaves like a grown-up.
Fail as he did, he was not disappointed at all.
Much as I tried, I failed to persuade him.
3) No matter + 疑问词和疑问词 + ever引导让步状语从句,表示"不论谁""不论什么时间/地点/方式"等等,从句用直陈语序。由此可以判断上面①题答案为A。
4) For all表示让步时后面可以接从句,也可以接名词短语,后接名词时常与其它类似短语比较,如④。注意接从句:
For all that he has a master's degree, I don't think he can outdo me in many aspects.
5) 其它用来引导让步状语从句的还有whether …or, even if, even though,和"动词 + 疑问词+主语+情态动词",如:
Say what you will, he will turn a deaf year.So it's better to keep silent.
Doubt whom you may, you shouldn't doubt me.
5.方式状语从句的连词
相比之下,方式状语从句则简单了许多,四级考试中还从未涉及此项。用来表示方式的主要是as 和as if/though。如:
I have made the change as you suggested.
I remember the whole thing as if it happened only yesterday.
6.结果状语从句的连词
尽管这几年,四级考试中并没有考题涉及结果状语,同学们还是应该了解以下结果状语从句的一些用法。首先让我们先来熟悉一下结果状语从句所在句式:
1) so … that…/ such ….that
该句式中重要考查的是so和such的区别。应注意以下可能出现的结构:
so nice a boy that…
such a nice boy that…
so beautiful/diligent/carefully … that…
such (fine weather/great improvement) that…
C.how much does it cost D.no matter how it costs (1996.6)
② ____, he does get annoyed with her sometimes.(2000.6)
A.Although much he likes her B.Much although he likes her
C.As he likes her much D.Much as he likes her
③ ____ the calculation is right, scientists can never be sure that they have included all variables and modeled them accurately.(1999.1)
A.Even if B.As far as C.If only D.So long as
④ ____ their differences, the couple were developing an obvious and genuine affection for each other.(1998.1)
