题目内容
--- Did you return the book you borrowed from Tom?
--- Yes, I gave it to him ______ I saw him.
- A.for the moment
- B.the moment
- C.for a moment
- D.at the moment
试题分析:考查名词短语作连词用法。本句中需要的是一个连词来连接时间状语从句I saw him。ACD三项都是介词短语,可以在句中作时间状语,但是不能充当连词连接从句。The moment“一…就…”可以引导时间状语从句。句意:—你把你借Tom的书还了回来吗?—是的。我一看见他,就给他了。根据句意说明B正确。
考点:考查名词短语作连词连接时间状语从句
点评:在英语中,经常会用一些表示时间的名词短语引导时间状语从句,这些名词从语法意义上,已经充当连词来引导从句,常见到名词短语有:1.the moment, the minute, the instant, the second等,这类名词短语由定冠词the+表示时间单位的名词构成含义上表示“一……就……”,相当于as soon as. 2. next time, the first time, last time, every time等,这类名词短语直接用作引导时间状语从句,含义与自身名词的含义相同。
