专题二 第 9 讲
[小题夯基练]
单句语法填空
1.The number of people invited was fifty,________a number of them were absent for different
reasons.
解析:but [句意:被邀请的人数是 50,但他们中的很多人由于不同原因缺席了。前后两
个分句为转折关系,故用 but 连接。]
2.It was time for her to have a new baby,________ it was also time for the young panda to be
independent.
解析:and [考查并列连词。句意为:是它再生一个宝宝的时候了,也是小熊猫该独立的
时候了。根据句意可知两个分句之间为并列关系,故用 and。]
3.It was April 29,2001 ________ Prince William and Kate Middleton walked into the palace
hall of the wedding ceremony.
解析:when [根据句意可知,从句表示的是时间,意为“当……时”,故填 when 引导时
间状语从句。]
4.She says that she'll have to close the shop ________ business improves.
解析:unless [根据句意可推知,若生意不好,就“close the shop”,填入 unless 相当于 if
not,符合语境。]
5.Child ________ he is,he knows quite a lot about football,more than you can imagine!
解析:as/though [as/though 引导让步状语从句时,从句中的表语、状语或谓语中的实义
动词需提前至句首,其中作表语的单数可数名词前的冠词应去掉。]
6.This photo of mine was taken ________ stood the famous Eiffel Tower.
解析:where [分析句式结构可知,此处是 where 引导的地点状语从句。且从句采用了倒
装语序,正常语序为“...where the famous Eiffel Tower stood”。]
7.—It's a long time ________ I saw you last.
—Yes,and what a pity!It will be a long time ________ we see each other again.
解析:since,before [“It's+一段时间+since 从句”意为“自从……有多长时间了”;“It
will be +一段时间+before 从句”意为“多久后才……”。]
8.Please call my secretary to arrange a meeting this afternoon,or ________ it is convenient to
you.
解析:whenever [空格处引导的从句与 this afternoon 在句中作并列的时间状语,故用
whenever 引导,意为“无论什么时候”。]9.Father was ________ busy in working that he often forgot rest or meals.
解析:so [so/such...that 是固定句式,意为“如此……以至于……”。so 修饰形容词、副
词。]
10.________ the sun rises,all the stars in the sky disappear.
解析:When [引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”。]
