请看下面一道高考题:
________ I really don’t like art, I find his work impressive.(07 山东卷)
A. As B. Since C. IfD. While
分析:答案是D。此题考查关联词的用法。前一分句意为:“我真的不喜欢艺术”,后一分句意为:“我发现他的创作给人留下很深的印象”,这两个分句之间的关系很自然不是因果关系,也不是条件和结果的关系,故可排除A、 B和C。此时的while意为“虽然,尽管”,引导让步状语从句,相当于 although。
while一词在英语中被广泛运用,也是全国各地高考命题的热点词之一,因此掌握该词的用法很重要。下面结合历届高考题将while一词的种种用法归纳总结如下,希望对同学们的学习有所帮助。
