(1)whenever, wherever, however 引导让步状语从句,相当于 no matter when/where/how。

(2)whatever, whoever, whichever, whomever 既可引导名词性从句,也可引导让步状语从句,在引导让步状语从句时相当于 no matter what/who/which/whom。

(3)“no matter+疑问词”只能引导让步状语从句,可放在主句前或主句后。

(4)however 的用法主要有以下三点需要注意:

①用做连接副词,相当于 no matter how,引导让步状语从句,意思是“不管怎样……;无论如何……”,具体结构为:

however+形容词/副词+主语+谓语。例如:However rich people are, they always seem anxious to make more money.无论人们有多富裕,他们似乎总是渴望挣到更多的钱。

②用做连词,表示“不管用什么方法”。

③however 还可作“然而”讲,是副词,不能引导从句,常用逗号隔开。 

(5)whichever, whatever 在句中还可做定语。

Eat whichever cake you like.你可以吃任何一块你想吃的蛋糕。

(2)______team wins on Saturday will go through to the national championships.

A.No matter what B.No matter which
C.Whatever D.Whichever

解析:根据句子结构可知,本题考查名词性从句,排除A、B项。whatever和 whichever 的不同在于前者没有范围而后者有范围,本句中指“周六参加比赛的获胜队”,是有范围的,故选 whichever。

答案:D
