疑难突破

as though,even though,though

(1)as though=as if “好像;似乎”,用来引导方式状语从句或表语从句。as though 比as if更正式,描述非现实情况时,as if/as though 从句中用虚拟语气;在口语中,主句为现在时,而且有内容可清楚判别是表达现实的意思时,在as if 后的从句有时也可以用现在时。

此外,若使用现在时,这是表达实际的事实关系;as if/as though 从句里的主语和动词,有时可省略。

(2)even though=even if “即使;纵使”,用来引导让步状语从句。even if 的从句有强烈的假设性,而even though 则多以此从句内容为前提。

Even though he is poor,she loves him.

=He is poor,yet she loves him.

尽管他很贫穷,但她还是爱他。

(3)though “虽然”,用来引导让步状语从句。even though 有退一步设想的意味,与though不同。though 引导的句子所说的是事实,even though 引导的句子所说的则不一定是事实。另外,though 还可用于倒装句,这时作表语的名词或形容词要提前。

注意:though不能和but 连用。

应用

(1)She always talks to me ______ she were my sister.

(2)He walked slowly ______ he had hurt his leg.

(3)It looks ______ we will be late.

(4)______ I have to sell my house,I will keep my business going.

(5)He will not tell me the secret ______ he knows it.

答案:(1)as if/as though  (2)as if/as though  (3)as if/as though  (4)Even if/Even though  (5)even if/even though/though

典例剖析

[例1] (2003年上海,26)The conference has been held to discuss the effects of tourism______the widlife in the area.

A.in               B.on                  C.at            D.with

剖析:本题检测考生在特定语境中选用恰当介词的能力。介词的用法比较复杂,且多为固定搭配,无多少道理可讲,因而对介词的掌握主要靠平时多观察、多留心、多记忆。本题中的名词effects制约着后面介词的选用。an effect on sth.意为“对某事的影响/作用”。“对……产生影响”用have an effect/the effects on sb./sth.例如:The film had quite an effect on her.

答案:B

[例2] (2004年全国卷Ⅳ,24)There are altogether eleven books on the shelf,______five are mine.

A.on which                            B.in which

C.of which                            D.from which

剖析:全句意思为:书架上有11本书,其中5本是我的。

答案:C

C.his real name                         D.whose real name

C.about which                          D.with whom
