题目内容
______ well prepared you are, you still need a lot of luck in mountain climbing.
A. However B. WhateverC. No matter D. Although
A
【解析】
试题分析：考查让步状语从句，句意：无论你准备的有多好，在登山的时候你还需要很多运气。这里不选D是因为用although的话就没有倒装，如果这里用although应该是although you are well prepared.但是本句中表语形容词well prepared提前了，根据用法应该是however +adj.+主+谓 的结构，或者no matter how+adj.+主谓的结构。Whatever后面接名词，所以选A.
考点：考查让步状语从句
点评：让步状语从句是状语从句中的一种，其本身也是状语从句。一般翻译为“尽管……”或“即使……”，就是我们日常生活中用的“退一步说……”的感觉。引导让步状语从句的连词主要有以下这些：though, although, while, as; even if, even though; whether...or...; no matter+疑问词，疑问词-ever，regardless of+名词/名词短语/名词从句，despite，in spite of。切记although，though 不可与but连用，但可以与yet连用。
名校练考卷期末冲刺卷系列答案For high school leavers starting out in the working world，it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习)．In some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to work．In the Unites States，however，such programs are still few and far between．
Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses，students are likely to get higher earnings in later years．The students are more likely to stay in school，graduate and go on to higher education．
In Germany，students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships．German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment．
But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world．Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track．Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills．
Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school．James Madison High School in New York，for example，encourages students to choose classes on career—based courses．The school then helps them gain on—the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school．
However，even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work，the job market is daunting．In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row．
“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience，they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，”said Michael，a researcher in the US.
