连词 从句类型 核心含义 关键点与例句
看主句动词：延续性动词用肯定；非延续性动词用否定
时间状语 “直到…… （not...until）。
until
从句 为止” Wait until I call you. （等我叫你。）
I won‘t leave until you promise. （你答应了我才走。）
从句中常带情态动词（can, will等）。
目的状语 “为了，以
so that He saved money so that he could buy a bike. （他攒钱是为了能买辆自
从句 便”
行车。）
绝不能与 but 同时使用！表达转折只用其一。
althoug 让步状语 “虽然，尽
Although she was tired, she helped me. = She was tired, but she helped
h 从句 管”
me. （她虽然累了，但还是帮助了我。）
一、 until 引导的时间状语从句
含义： “直到……为止”。表示主句的动作或状态持续到从句动作发生或某个时间点为止。
核心要点：
主句动词：通常是延续性动词（如 wait, stay, work, live）或含有 not 的非延续性动词（瞬间动
词）。时态：主句和从句都用一般现在时表示将来。
基本结构：
肯定句 + until...：（主句动作）一直做，直到（从句动作）发生。
I waited until he came back. （我一直等，直到他回来。）
Let‘s stay here until the rain stops. （我们待在这里直到雨停吧。）
not... until...：（主句动作）直到（从句动作）发生才开始。
I did not go to bed until I finished my homework. （我直到做完作业才睡觉。）
The movie didn’t start until everyone was seated. （电影直到所有人都坐好才开始。）
二、 so that 引导的目的状语从句
含义： “为了，以便”。表示主句动作的目的或意图。
核心要点：
从句中常含情态动词：如 can / could / will / would / may / might，表示“能够”、“将会”去实
现这个目的。
与不定式（to do）表目的的区别：
so that 引导一个完整的从句（有主语和谓语），目的更明确，语气更强。
to do 是不定式短语，更简洁直接。
对比：
I study hard to pass the exam. （我努力学习以通过考试。）
I study hard so that I can pass the exam. （我努力学习，以便我能通过考试。）
基本结构：
He got up early so that he could catch the first bus. （他早起是为了能赶上头班车。）
Speak clearly so that they may understand you. （说清楚点，好让他们能听懂你的话。）
（注意：在日常口语中，so that 中的 that 有时可以省略。）
三、 although 引导的让步状语从句
含义： “虽然，尽管”。表示承认或先说出一个事实，但主句的情况与之相反或不受其影响。
用于连接两个形成对比或转折的句子。
核心要点（重中之重！）：
不能与 but 连用！ 这是最常见的错误。although 和 but 在英语中都是连词，一个句子中只能用
一个来连接两个分句。
❌ Although it was expensive, but I bought it. （错误！）
✅ Although it was expensive, I bought it. （正确）✅ It was expensive, but I bought it. （正确）
基本结构：
Although it rained heavily, we went out to play football. 尽管雨下得很大，我们还是出去踢足球了。
He is unhappy although he has a lot of money. 他并不快乐，虽然他很有钱。
Although 可以放在句首或句中。放在句首时，通常用逗号与主句隔开。
一、单项选择
1．________ they are tired, they feel very happy because they finally won the game.
A．Although B．But C．So D．Because
【答案】A
【详解】句意：尽管他们很累，但他们感到非常高兴，因为他们最终赢得了比赛。
考查连词辨析。Although虽然，尽管；But但是；So所以；Because因为。前半句“they are tired”表示让步
（即“尽管累”），与后半句“they feel very happy”形成转折关系，需用Although引导让步状语从句。故
选A。

A．Because B．If C．Unless D．Though
【答案】D
【详解】句意：——你们校队上周的篮球比赛赢了吗？——没有。尽管我们尽了最大努力，但最后还是输
了。
考查连词辨析。Because因为；If如果；Unless除非；Though尽管。根据“we tried our best”和“we lost it
in the end”可知，前后句之间存在让步关系，即尽管尽了最大努力，但还是输了，所以应该用Though来引
导让步状语从句。故选D。
3．Our parents love us so much, ________ they don’t often say “I love you”.
A．because B．although C．unless D．until
【答案】B
【详解】句意：我们的父母非常爱我们，虽然他们不经常说“我爱你”。
考查连词辨析。because因为；although虽然；unless除非；until直到。根据“Our parents love us so
much,...they don’t often say ‘I love you’.”可知，前半句表示父母爱我们，后半句表示不常表达，构成让步关
系。故选B。4．I like learning English a lot ________ it seems difficult sometimes.
A．if B．though C．because D．so
【答案】B
【详解】句意：我非常喜欢学习英语，虽然它有时似乎很难。

5．________ he didn’t feel well, he still went to school on time.
A．Though B．And C．So
【答案】A
【详解】句意：尽管他感觉不舒服，但是他仍然按时去上学。
考查连词辨析。Though尽管；And和，而且；So所以。根据“...he didn’t feel well, he still went to school on
time.”可知，前后句之间是转折让步关系，前一句表示一种情况，后一句表示在这种不太好的情况下仍然
做了某事，所以应该用Though引导让步状语从句。故选A。
6．________ the rule is strict, it is necessary for our safety.
A．Although B．If C．So D．But

用Although引导让步状语从句。故选A。
7．________ it was very cold, ________ my grandfather still went swimming in Nanhu River last weekend.
A．Although; but B．Although; / C．But; although D．/; although
【答案】B
【详解】句意：虽然天气很冷，但我的爷爷上周末仍然去南湖游泳。
考查连词辨析。在英语中，“although”和“but”不能同时出现在一个句子中，因为“although”表示“尽
管”，引导让步状语从句，而“but”表示“但是”，表示转折关系，二者语义上重复。所以选项A、C可
排除。根据语境可知，前后句之间存在让步关系，即尽管天气冷，爷爷还是去游泳了，因此第一个空应填
“Although”，第二个空不填。故选B。

成时连用；because of因为，由于，是介词短语，后面接名词、代词或动名词等，不能接句子。根据“I
studied late every night”以及“I could study better”可知，前面学习到很晚这个行为是为了后面能学得更好这
个目的，所以用“so that”引导目的状语从句。故选A。

题型二 阅读理解
You are having a test at school today, and you may feel awful (糟糕的). You may have a headache (头痛) or

because you did well in the last one. So what should you do?
Ask for help. Talk to your mom, dad or your teacher. Talking to someone about it can make you feel better.
They can help you find some solutions.
Be prepared. Do your homework. Study for the test. On the test day, you’re more likely to feel that you know
the answers.
Believe in yourself. Say to yourself, “I studied and I’m ready to do my best.” Don’t tell yourself “I’m not good
at it.” or “I’m going to be in trouble if I get a bad grade.” These thoughts can make it harder for you to do well.
Take good care of yourself. You’ll do your best if you get enough playtime, sleep and healthy food. This is

If a friend helps you, it’s a good idea to write a thank-you note to him or her. But in fact, how many of us sit
down to do this? “People don’t seem to give thanks to people quite often,” Professor Kumar said. Why don’t people
like to send thank-you notes? And how do people feel when they get one?
Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person by e-mail. Then, they
asked both the writer and the receiver how sending or getting these notes made them feel. Here is the result.
They found that these writers didn’t like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much
about them. They worried about what to say and how to say it. The receivers, however, felt glad when they got the
notes. “When you are a receiver, you really care about the warmth of the notes,” Kumar said.Also, the writers didn’t like to write the notes because they thought it might be awkward (尴尬的) for the
receiver to get a thank-you note. But in fact, it’s not true. “They feel quite happy,” Kumar said. “They don’t really
feel awkward at all. If people know that writing a thank-you note could be so important to others, they will do it more
often.”
In a word, simple and small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference to how we treat (对待)
other people and how we feel.
