【考     点】状语从句

【考题特点】状语从句是高考英语的一个十分重要的考点。2005年的广东高考英语试题在15道单项填空题中就有3道是考查状语从句的，并且非常有趣的是其中有一道题竟与同年全国卷中的一道题几乎一模一样：

1. You’d better take something to read when you go to see the doctor ______ you have to wait. (2005广东卷)

A. even if         B. as if       C. in case        D. in order that

2. I always take something to read when I go to the doctor’s _____I have to wait. (2005全国卷Ⅲ)

A. in case                     B. so that        C. in order             D. as if

广东卷的句意是“你去看医生时最好带点什么东西去读，以防需要等候”，全国卷的句意是“我去看医生时总要带点什么东西去读，以防需要等候”，两道均考查in case 引导目的状语从句的用法。

综观历年高考英语试题以及近年来各省市试题，我们发现高考对状语从句的考查主要涉及引导状语从句的从属连词的用法与辨析。

【答题特技】

由于高考对状语从句的考查主要涉及引导状语从句的从属连词的用法与辨析，所以在做状语从句考题时，同学们在特别注意以下几点：

一是要弄清状语从句的几个主要类别，如时间状语从句、条件状语从句、原因状语从句、地点状语从句、目的状语从句、结果状语从句、让步状语从句等，同时弄清它们相应的主要“引导词”及其相关意义；

二是要学会用语境分析法解题。综观历年高考英语状语从句考题，至少有90%的考题可通过分析语境来解决。具体做法是，将四个选项分别放入题干中，意思最明确，逻辑最通顺，最合情合理的，就一定是最佳答案；

三是要留意某些含有状语从句的特殊句式，it is…since…，not…until…，hardly…when…，no sooner…than…等；

四是要排除命题干扰，有时命题者为了增加试题的难度和灵活性，可能会在题干中增加干扰成分，如增加修饰语或插入独立结构或插入语，使用省略结构或省略句式等，同学们在做题时要注意排除这些干扰。
