连词while考试知识点常识总结
while是大伙比较熟知的一个词,但很多人对它的认知是不全方位的,你可能只了解它表示“当……的时候”,甚至可能还了解它与when, as的使用方法不同。但,很遗憾,你所了解的这类东西都是有关while使用方法的“入门知识”,却不是一般英语考试的“考试知识点常识”。请看下面两道考试试题:
1. ||||||||| the Internet is of great help, I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend too much time on it.
A. If B. While C. Because D. As
2. In some places women are expected to earn money ||||||||| men work at home and raise their children.
A. but B. while C. because D. though
这两道题的答案均为B,即均选while。你了解这是为何吗?下面大家就来总结一下连词while的“考试知识点常识”。
考试知识点常识1、表示让步,意为“尽管”“虽然”。如:
While the work was difficult, it was interesting. 虽然工作有困难程度,但非常有趣。
While we don’t agree we continue to be friends. 尽管大家建议不同,大家还是朋友。
While he admitted that he had received the stolen jewellery, he denied having taken part in the robbery. 尽管他承认他收受了偷窃的珠宝,但他不承认参与了打劫案。
While I did well in class, I was a poor performer at games. 虽说我学习很好,我运动却不可以。
While a few became richer, many did not. 虽然一些人变得更富有了,但多数人并不是这样。
考试知识点常识2、表示对比或转折,意为“而”“但”。如:
I went swimming while the others played tennis. 我去游泳,而其余的人则去打网球了。
Air is a fluid but not a liquid, while water is both a fluid and a liquid. 空气是流体不是液体,水是流体也是液体。
Some people waste food while others haven’t enough. 一些人糟踏食物而另一些人却食不果腹。
注:如此用时,while引出的句子一般坐落于末,但有时也可坐落于句首。如:
While most children learn to read easily, some need extra help. 大部分儿童掌握阅读比较容易,有一些儿童却需要特别帮助。
While some languages have 30 or more different vowel sounds, others have five or less. 有的语言有30个或更多的元音,而其他语言只有5个或更少的元音。
目前大家回过头来剖析一下上面的两道题:第1题中的while表示让步,全句意为:虽然因特网非常有帮助,但我还是觉得在其上花太多的时间不是个好主意。第2题中的while表示对比,全句意为:有的地方妇女赚钱,而男子则在家持家和带孩子。
