2. 可用作并列连词，其意义为“那时，这时”，相当于and at this/that time。常用于下列句式：

3. 还可以表示原因“既然”，相当于since; considering that。如：

连接词while的用法小结
1. while引导的动作必须是持续性的，侧重主句动作和从句动作相对比。如：
Please don’t talk so loud while others are working.
2. while作为并列连词，意为“而，却”，表示对比。
3. while可表示尽管，相当于although。
连接词when, while, as的用法区别：
1．while引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词必须是可延续的，而when引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词是可延续的，也 可以是表短暂性动作的动词。如：When/While he was
eating his breakfast, he heard the doorbell ring. When I stopped my car, a man came up to me. (不可用 while)
2．从句动作发生在主句动作之前时，只能用when引导这个从句，不可用as或while。如： When you have finished your work, you may have a rest.
3．表示“随着……”，连词用as，不用when或while。如：
As the election approached, the violence got worse.
4．如果主句表示的是短暂动作，而从句用延续性动作的进行 时态表示在一段时间内正在进行的动作时，when, while 与as 可互换使用。如：
When/While/As I was walking down the street, I came across an old friend of mine.

小结：
1．一些词，如the moment, the minute, the instant, immediately, directly, instantly, hardly…when, scarcely…when, no sooner…than等也可引导一个时 间状语从句，相当于as soon as的意思。
I didn’t wait a moment, but came immediately you called.
2．一些含有time的名词短语，如every time, each time, next time, by the time等，以及the day, the year, the morning等，也可引导一个时间状语从句。
The day he returned home, his father was already dead.
Next time you come, please bring your composition.
3. 如果hardly或no sooner或scarcely置于句首，句子必 须用部分倒装结构。
Hardly had I got home when it began to rain.

A. when; that B. until; that C. until; when D. when; then
小结：
till, until和not…until：

We waited until he came.
2．用于否定句时，主句谓语动词是非延续性动词，从句为肯定，意为“某动作直到某时间才开始”。如：
He won’t go to bed till/until she returns.
3．till不可以置于句首，而until可以。如：Until you told me I had no idea of it.
4．not…until句型中的强调和倒装说法：

如：It will be two years before he leaves the country.
2）句型It will be/was not＋一段时间＋before…“不多久就……”
如： It wasn’t two years before he left the country.
3）句型It is＋段时间＋since…时间的计算一律从since从句的 动作完成或状态结束时算起。如：
It is three years since she was in the army.
It is three years since she joined the army.
2、条件状语从句
问题1：
1、The WTO cannot live up to its name ____ it does not include a country that is home to one fifth of mankind. （2000全国）
A．as long as B．while C．if D．even though
2、 It is known to all that _____ you exercise regularly, you won’t keep good health. （05重庆卷）
A. unless B. whenever C. although D. if
unless 相当于 if not，意思是“除非…”“如果不…就…”。这也是高考的热点之一。复习时也应给予高度重视。
问题2：
1、_____ I can see, there is only one possible way to keep away from the danger. （04北京春季）
A. As long as B. As far as C. Just as D. Even if
2、I always take something to read when I go to the doctor’s ________ I have to wait. （05全国卷3）
A．in case B．so that C．in order D．as if
as long as 与 as far as 都可引导条件状语从句，as long as 表示“只要…”，as far as 表示“就…而论（而言）”。题1根据题意应该选用B。in case 表示“以防”，根据题2的句意，不难作出选择。
3、让步状语从句
问题1：
1、 _____ I accept that he is not perfect, I do actually like the person. （04江苏）
A. While B. Since C. Before D. Unless
2、Allow children the space to voice their opinions, ____they are different from your own. (05湖南卷）
A. until B. even if C. unless D. as though
while 是高考中的高频词，它既可引导时间状语从句，又可引导并列句，还可引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管”。even if 等于 even though，表示“即使、尽管”。as though 等于 as if，引导方式状语从句，表示“好像、似乎”。
问题2：
1、 He tried his best to solve the problem, ___ difficult it was.（05天津卷）
A. however B. no matter C. whatever D although
2、The old tower must be saved, ______the cost. （05浙江）
A．however B．whatever C．whichever D．wherever
no matter wh- 与 wh-ever 的联系及区别：
no matter wh- 只引导让步状语从句，此时与 wh-ever通用。
如: No matter when / Whenever he comes back, he should be invited to the party.
wh-ever又可引导名词性从句， No matter wh-不能。如：
Whatever I can do for you will be nothing but paying a debt. Whoever can help us will be welcome.
4. 状语从句的时态问题
问题1：
1、The house could fall down soon if no one______ some quick repair work. （04全国IV）
A has done B is doing C does D had done
2、It is almost five years _______ we saw each other last time. （05北京春季）
A. before B. since C. after D. when
在条件，时间和让步从句中，用一般现在时表示一般将来时，用现在完成时表将来完成时，用一般过去时表过去将来时。在 since 引导的时间状语从句中，动词一般都用一般过去时，而主句常用现在完成时。
5、状语从句的倒装问题
问题1：
1、So difficult _____ it to live in an English-speaking country that I determined to learn English. (01)
A. I have felt B. have I felt C. I did feel D. did I feel
2、Not until all the fish died in the river _____ how serious the pollution was. (95 NMET)
A. did the villagers realize B. the villagers realized
C. the villagers did realize D. didn’t the villagers realize
状语从句的倒装一般有下面几种情况：① 否定词开头；② so 加 adj. 开头；③ as / though引导的让步状语从句。
特别注意：
Hardly … when … No sooner … than … Child as he is, …
Hardly had he got to the station when the train left.
No sooner had he got to the station than the train left.
Child as he is, he can speak seven foreign languages.
6、状语从句与并列句的区别
问题1：
1、Though he is in his sixties, ______ he works as hard as a young man
A. yet B. but C. and D. and yet
2、 Excuse me for breaking in, _________ I have some news for you. (NMET02)
A. so B. and C. but D. yet
题1是主从复合句，所以中间不能使用并列连词 and; or; but; so 等。yet 是副词，只有 yet 可以与 though 连用。题2为并列句，而“Excuse …, but …”为一固定搭配。在复习中需要
