語法精講

一、在復合句中，由時間連接詞引導的狀語從句叫做時間狀語從句。

1. 由when， as， while， before等連詞引導的時間狀語從句。

Sorry，I was out when you called me.

對不起，你打電話時我剛好外出了。

You can feel the air moving as your hand pushes through it.

當你的手在空氣中揮動的時候，你就能感覺到空氣在流動。

Strike while the iron is hot. 趁熱打鐵。

Did you work as a teacher before you come to this company？

你在來這個公司之前當過教師嗎？

二、時間狀語從句一般不用將來時態，因此，主句若為將來時，時間狀語從句要用一般現在時。

I’ll go on with the work when I come back tomorrow.

我明天回來再繼續工作。

It will be three days before they come back.

他們要過三天才能回來。

三、連詞when， as， while都可以表示“當……的時候”，但三者有一定的區別。

（1） when引導的從句的謂語動詞可以是延續性動詞，也可以是非延續性動詞，有時可表示“在這時；突然”。

We were talking when a stranger came in.

我們正在說話，這時一個陌生人走了進來。

Things were different when I was a child.

我年幼時情況不同。

（2） as多用在口語中，常表示兩個同時進行的動作，常譯為“一邊……一邊”，有時也可表示“一前一后”或“隨著”。

We always sing as we walk. 我們總是邊走邊唱。

As I was going out， it began to rain.

當我出門時，天開始下雨了。

As spring warms the Earth， all flowers begin to bloom.

隨著春回大地，百花開始綻放。

（3） while表示一個時間段，引導的從句的謂語動詞必須是延續性的，并強調主句和從句的動作同時發生（或相對應）。while有時還有對比的含義，意為“而”。

While we were swimming someone stole our clothes.

我們游泳時有人偷了我們的衣服。

I like dancing while she like singing.

我喜歡跳舞，而她卻喜歡唱歌。

四、as soon as，the moment引導的從句表示“一……就”。

As soon as I finish the work， I’ll go to see you.

我一把工作做完就去看你。

The children ran away from the orchard the moment they saw the guard.

一看到守園人，孩子們就從果園里跑了。

原因狀語從句常用because， since， now that， as等引導。

一、because表示直接的原因或理由，有必然的因果關系，著重點在從句；用于回答why問句，語氣最強，常譯為“因為”。

He is absent today because he is ill.

他今天缺席是因為他生病了。

I can’t get to sleep because there is much noise outside.

由于外面聲音嘈雜我睡不著。

二、since和now that都可以表示“既然”，但since一般表示對方已知的，無須說明的既成事實或理由，全句中心在主句，語氣比because弱；而now that則更突出事實本身。

Since you are ill， I’ll go alone.

既然你病了，我只能一個人走了。

Now that you’ve finished the work， you ought to have a good rest. 既然已經完成了工作，你就應該好好休息一下。

三、as表示十分明顯的原因，著重點在主句，語氣較弱，常譯成“由于”。

As it is snowing， we shall not go to the park.

由于在下雪，我們沒法去公園了。

As we’ve no money， we can’t buy it.

由于我們沒錢，我們無法購買它。

四、for也可表示原因，但它是個并列連詞，只能放在另一個并列分句前面，表示一種推理或解釋，或用作附加說明，語氣最弱，一般不放在句首，常譯成“因為；其理由是”。

The day breaks， for the birds are singing.

天亮了，因為鳥兒正在歌唱。

He found it difficult to read， for his eyesight was beginning to fail. 他發現看書越來越困難是因為他的視力正在衰退。

注意：

for表示因果關系時，可以同because交替使用，但for前須用逗號，而because則不必。如：

You couldn’t have seen Jack， for he wasn’t there.

You couldn’t have seen Jack because he wasn’t there.

你不可能見到杰克，因為他不在那兒。

Ⅳ. 閱讀理解

London has a new magazine. But it’s not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.

In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder（譯碼器）. Each page of it is numbered， so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There’s a wide choice — everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.

If you want to read the news， the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index（索引）page which has an easy—to—remember page number， 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. If you want to go out in the afternoon， so you press 181， and a weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week’s best bargains（減價）. But should you drive or take the train？ To answer the question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It’s very simple to use.

London has already had three services. One， transmitted by ITV， is called ORACLE， while the other two， on BBC， are called CEEFAX， because they let you see facts. Although ORACLE and CEEFAX have been operating for some time， they have not been well—known. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing， which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.

1. We can know from the passage that ___ .

A. people can buy the magazine at any local news agent

B. most of the postmen in London will lose their jobs someday

3. According to the passage， the magazine is ___ .

A. very popular among young people

B. better than traditional books and newspapers

C. easy to be taken with you everywhere

D. a great breakthrough which could change our reading habits and our way of life.

4. Which of the following is true？

A. London has a new magazine which is printed on paper.

B. If you press 100， you will know something about the weather.

C. BBC engineers think that the new magazine is better.

D. You have to have a decoder in order to read the magazine.

The Russian Soyuz TM—31 spaceship with the world’s first space tourist Dennis Tito and two Russian astronauts on board safely returned to the Earth on May 6， 2001 after an eight—day visit to the International Space Station （ISS）. The capsule landed near the city of Arkaly in Kazakhstan at 9：41am Moscow time， said the Korolyov Mission Control outside Moscow. Tito and his two Russian partners felt well after the landing and asked for permission to get out of the capsule on their own. They were inspected（檢查）by doctors right after the landing and will be under observation for several days.

As the world’s first space tourist， Dennis Tito said on May 4， while still in space， that he had seen China from outer space and plans to visit the country again one day after returning to the Earth. “I flew over the Chinese territories（版圖）， but I could not recognize the specific sites and symbols of China such as the Great Wall and the Yangtze River because of the long distance and atmospheric（大氣的）conditions.” Tito told Xinhua excitedly in an interview televised at Mission Control. During the trip， Tito kept a diary， took many photos and filmed video footage.
