龙文学校1对1英语辅导教师发现近几年高考试卷中有关as一词的题目出现过很多次,其中as或是最佳选项,或是干扰项,或是题干中的关键信息点,涉及到as作为连词、介词、关系代词、副词以及习语等各种用法。所以龙文学习校英语辅导教师结合高考真题将as的用法归纳如下:
一、用作连词的as
1. 引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”,其用法与when和while类似。例如:As a child (When he was a child), she was sent to six different schools.此用法中as多表示从句与主句动作同时进行,意为“一边……一边……”,一般不与状态动词连用。例如:She sang songs as she did her homework.
as 还可以表示一动作紧接着另一动作发生,说明另一动作的结果,有“随着……”的含义。例如:As time went by, we found he was an honest man./As he grew older, he lost interest in everything except gardening.
例1 It wasn’t until nearly a month later________ I received the manager’s reply.
A. since B. when C. as D. that
解析:本题的as中与when一起作为干扰项,容易使考生往时间状语从句上思考,事实上本题是强调句,正确选项是D。
2. 引导原因状语从句,表示“由于,因为”,相当于because, 但通常置于句首。例如: As he is a qualified doctor, I trust his advice on medical matters.
例2 _____ modeling business is by no means easy to get into, the good model will always be in demand.
A. While B. Since C. As D. If
解析:本题中as干扰性很强,很多考生误以为是原因状语从句,但仔细分析不难发现正确答案应是A(while表示“只要”)。
3. 引导让步状语从句,通常可与although或though通用,但语序不同,although或though用于句首,as用于倒装结构。例如:Young as I am, I already know what career I want to follow. /Although(或Though)I am young, I already know what career I want to follow. as 表示让步用于倒装结构,通常将从句的表语、状语或动词前置。如果表语有冠词a/an, 需去掉。例如:Great scholar as he is, he is lacking in common sense./Much as I like you, I couldn’t live with you. 例3 _____ he has limited technical knowledge, the older worker has a lot of experience.
A. SinceB. Unless C. As D. Although
解析:as 虽然有引导让步状语从句用法,但本题不是倒装结构,故正确答案应是D。
4. 引导方式状语从句,表示“如,像”。例如:When in Rome, do as Romans do./Do to others as you would have others do to you.
例4 We wanted to get home before dark, but it didn’t quite ________ as planned.
A. make outB. turn out C. go onD. come up
解析:本题考查动词词组辨析,题干中的“as planned”给同学们提供了重要信息,答案选B。
5. 固定句型:“主句,as +be/do+主语”表示“也一样”。例如:She’s unusually tall, as are both her parents./He’s a doctor, as was his wife before she had children.
