【答案解读】
1. B。按理说“已经预定桌子了”就不需要等了,根据“我们不得不等半个小时”看出主从句之间是让步
关系,意思是“虽然我们已经预定了桌子,还必须等上半个小时”。since表示原因,until和before表示时
间。although表示“虽然,尽管”,引导让步状语从句。
2. B。“经常锻炼”就会“有健康的身体”,而Tim“没有怎么锻炼”就有“很好的身体”,可以看出表示
让步关系,ACD三个选项引导的是条件状语从句,even though意思是“尽管”,引导让步状语从句。
3. C。根据题干的逗号可以看出是复合句,B和D是感叹句形式,应该排除。However是连接副词,修饰形
容词或者副词,选C,however引导让步状语从句,意思是“无论如何”。句意是:“不管你遇到多么严
重的问题,你都应该鼓起勇气勇敢面对挑战”。
【基本概念】
让步状语从句表示“虽然、即使、尽管”等概念,就是我们日常生活中用的“退一步说……”的感
觉,一般我们见到的有这些词引导:although/though, even if /even though, while, as, whether…or…, in
spite the fact that,“no matter +疑问词”或“疑问词+后缀ever”,granting (granted) that“即使”,
admitting (that), for all (that)“尽管”等。
一、让步状语从句
引导让步状语从句的连词常用的有though/although,even if/even though,no matter +wh-(who,
what/when/where/ which...)/Wh-(what/ when/ wherever/who/ how... )+ever,whether...or...不管......还是......
等。
1. though/although
though/although意思是“尽管、纵使”,不与but连用,可与作为副词的yet, still连用。如:
She pretended to be angry though she was by heart very glad.
尽管她内心十分高兴,她却装作生气的样子。
Mr. Hall understands that although the problem has always been easy for him, it is not easy for the students.2. even if/even though
even if/even though意思是“即使”,注意与表示“似乎、好像”的as if/ as though的词义区别。如:
We won’t give up even if we could fail 10 times.
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online.
尽管喜欢聊天,她还是对网上交友十分慎重。
3. no matter +wh-/wh-ever
no matter +wh-/Wh-ever意思是“无论”,通常wh-基本保留原词义。wh- +ever还可以引导主语从句、
宾语从句等名词性从句,而no matter +wh-不可以。如:
However /No matter how amusing the story is, I have to put it away and focus my attention on study this
week. 无论这个故事多么有趣,我这周都必须把它收起来,我要专心致志学习。
No matter what/Whatever your first language is, you should treasure it all your life. 不论你的第一语言是什
么,你一生都应珍惜。
4. whether...or...
whether...or...意思是“不管......还是......”,其中的 whether不可以用if。如:
---Dad, I’ve finished my assignment.
--- Good, and whether you play or watch TV, you mustn’t disturb me.
---爸爸, 我作业做完了。
--- 好的,不管你是玩还是看电视,记得一定不能打扰我。

一、 although和though引导的让步状语从句
although和though同义,在一般情况下,可以互换使用。只是though较普遍,常用于非正式的口语或
书面语中,而although则较为正式,语气较重一些。二者置于主句前后都可以,前置时强调主句内容,后
置时强调从句内容。有时也可以采取中位(插入句中)。在although和though引导的让步状语从句中,主
句里不可用but,若要强调前后两部分的对比意义,可在主句前加yet或still。如:
Though the only key to the door of happiness is not money, but if you have enough money then you can order a
key. 虽然金钱不是开启幸福之门的唯一钥匙,但是,如果您有足够的金钱的话,则可以定做一把钥匙。
China probably has the largest number of Microsoft product users although the majority of the users are not
Microsoft customers. 中国很可能拥有数量最大的微软产品使用者,尽管其中大多数都不是微软的客户。
Me, too. We need a good rain though I hate it to be rainy.
我也是,虽然我讨厌多雨的天气,但我们确实需要一场大雨。
Although TV has some benefits, sometimes it has bad influence.
虽然电视有一些好处,有时它也有坏影响。
Although/Though he has a lot of money, yet/still he is unhappy.他虽然有很多钱,但并不幸福。
考例 1:(XXXX 全国卷Ⅰ) ________ he has limited technical knowledge,the old worker has a lot of
experience.
A.Since B.Unless C.As D.Although
解读:D。本题意在考查考生对让步状语从句的掌握情况。A项Since表原因,“由于,既然”,如选A
项可改为:Sine he has limited technical knowledge,the old worker has to be removed.B 项Unless表条
件,“除非,要不然,”如选 B项可改为:Unless he has limited technical knowledge,the old worker
wont be laid off.C项As亦表原因,同 A项。D项Although常引导让步状语,表“尽管,虽然,”本题
句意为:尽管他技术方面的知识有限,但却有丰富的工作经验。故选D。
考例2:(XXXX上海春招卷)_____ most of the earth’s surface is covered by water, fresh water is very rare and
precious.
A. As B. Once C. If D. Although
解读:D。“地球表面大部分被水覆盖着”与“淡水十分稀缺”之间是让步关系,意思是“尽管”,D正
确。
【温馨提示】
1. though可以独立用作副词,常放在句末,意为all the same (还是;仍然)或however(可是;然而),而although无此用法。如:
"It was worth it, though, sir, "the soldier said. “尽管这样,还是值得的,长官!”这位战士说。
考例1:(XXXX浙江卷)Playing on a frozen sports field sounds like a lot of fun. Isn’t it rather risky, ____?
A. though B. also C. either D. too
解读:A。本题考查副词辨析。在冰场上玩耍听起来很“有趣”与会不会有“危险”之间是转折关系,所
以选择though,表示“然而,但是”,其余的选项表示“也”的意思,表示的是递进关系。
考例2:(XXXX年江苏卷) —How is everything going on with you in Europe?
—Quite well. Not so smoothly as I hoped, ________.
A. though B. instead C. either D. too
解读:A。句意为:—你在欧洲进展如何?—很好,不过没有我所希望的那样顺畅。由答语中的Quite well.
与 Not so smoothly as I hoped之间的逻辑关系可以推断该空表示“不过、然而”,应填though,在这里是
副词,相当于however。
2. though引导让步状语从句时可以倒装,而although从句则不能。
Bravely though they fought, they had no chance of winning. 虽然他们打得很勇敢,但还是没有机会获胜。
当然也可以不倒装,用:Though they fought Bravely, they had no chance of winning.此时的though就可以用
although代替。
二、 even if和even though引导的让步状语从句
even if 与 even though这两个词组意思大致相当,都有“即使,尽管”的意思,一般可以换用。如:
Mary and his sister differ in appearance even if their differences in age are not significant. 尽管玛丽和她的姐姐
在年龄上相差不大,但他们的外表却不同。
It was clear enough what she meant, even though she cut it short. 她的故事即使有所删减,她的意思也是再清
楚不过了。
但是由于though 常表示一些已经确定的消息,而if由它本身所带的“如果”的含义,表示了一种对
假设信息的不确定。即even if一般引导的是把握不大或假设的事情, 理解为“即使,纵然”,even though
引出的是事实,理解为“尽管,虽然”。如:
Even though he knows it, he'll not let out the secret.(他知道这个秘密).
Even if he knows it, he'll not let out the secret.(不确定他是否知道这个秘密).
考例:(XXXX安徽卷)The engineers are so busy that they have zero time for outdoor sports activities, ___they
have the interest.
A. wherever B. whenever C. even if D. as if解读:C。“对户外活动有兴趣”却“没有时间”二者是让步关系,故选 C,意思是“即使工程师们对户外
活动有兴趣,他们太忙了,也没有时间”。wherever无论何处,whenever无论何时,as if似乎、好像。
三、 whether…or… 引导的让步状语从句
whether…or…引导让步状语从句意思是“不管…还是…”,用来表示限制在两者选择范围内。也称“选
择条件—让步状语从句”,可位于主句之前或之后,此种用法的whether不可以换成if。如:
Whether he drives or (whether he) flies, he'll be on time.
不管他坐车来还是坐飞机来,他都将准时到达。
Whether you can see the moon or not, it is always round.
不论你能否看得见,月亮总是圆的。
You may rely upon my help, whether others help you or not.
不论别人帮不帮你,你都可以依赖我的帮助。
考例:(XXXX重庆卷)All people, they are old or young, rich or poor, have been trying their best to
help those in need since the disaster.
A. even if B. whether C. no matter D. however
解读:B。根据题干的or提示,结合句子的意思知道是whether…or…引导的让步状语从句。句意是:自从
灾难发生后,所有的人,不管老幼穷富都尽力帮助那些需要帮助的人。
四、“no matter +疑问词”或“疑问词+后缀ever” 引导的让步状语从句
whatever,whichever, whoever,wherever,whenever,however 等引导的让步状语从句可以和 no
matter what/which/who/where/when/how等引导的让步状语从句换用,意为“无论……,都……”。其中
whatever修饰名词,“无论什么”,however修饰形容词、副词,“无论多么,无论怎么”。however引
导让步状语从句时后紧跟形容词或副词。
No matter who/Whoever breaks laws, we will punish him.无论谁犯了法,我们都要惩罚他.
Whichever/ No matter which party gets in at the next election, the economy is going to be in a mess.在下次大选
中,无论哪个政党当选,经济都将是一团糟的。
Whenever you have an aim, you must sacrifice something of freedom to attain it.
无论何时欲达到一个目标,就必须牺牲一定的自由去达到它。
考例1:(XXXX辽宁卷)______ hungry I am, I never seem to be able to finish off this loaf of bread.
A. Whatever B. Whenever C. Wherever D. However
解读:D。形容词hungry需要连接副词修饰,排除A,根据“吃不完这条面包”可以看出与“饿了”之间
是转折或者让步关系。考例2:( XXXX上海春招卷) tomorrow, our ship will set sail for Macao.
A.However the weather is like B.However is the weather like
C.Whatever is the weather like D.Whatever the weather is like
解读:D。根据备选项的介词like可以看出用关系代词,排除A和B。从句的语序是陈述语序,故选D,
whatever引导让步状语从句。注意一下What’s the weather like则很容易选出D答案。句意是:无论天气如
何,我们的轮船都要起航使往莫斯科。
五、as引导的让步状语从句
as 表示“尽管、虽然”引导的让步从句必须把作表语或状语的名词、形容词、副词、分词等提前,有
时甚至是把实义动词提前。注意:1.though引导的让步状语从句置于句首可以倒装,也可以不倒装;2.若
提前的表语是没有形容词修饰的单数可数名词,要省略不定冠词;3.若提前的是动词原形(多为不及物动
词),与之连用的通常是may, might, will, would等,且这些词都要保留在原来的位置上(主语后),如果实义
动词有宾语和状语,随实义动词一起放在主语之前。如:
Child as /though he was, he knew what was the right thing to do.
= Though he was a small child, he knew what was the right thing to do. 尽管他还是个孩子,他知道做什么事正
确的。
Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.
= Though he tries hard, he never seems… 虽然他尽了努力,但他的工作总做的不尽人意。
Tired as I was, I tried to help them. 虽然我很累,我还是努力帮助他们。
考例:(XXXX重庆卷) _______, his idea was accepted by all the people at the meeting.
A. Strange as might it sound B. As it might sound strange
C. As strange it might sound D. Strange as it might sound
解读:D。as引导的让步状语从句要倒装,根据主系表结构看出把作表语的形容词Strange提前。故选D。
六、while与whereas﹡引导的让步状语从句
while引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然”,相当于 although。while引导的让步状语从句多数
前置,位于句首。如果表示主从句的对比关系,意思是“而,却,然而”则后置。whereas与while基本相同,引导让步状语从句突出。如:
While I admit his good points, I can see his shortcomings.
尽管我承认他的优点,我还看到他 的缺点。
Whereas the words say love, love, love, the sounds and images say hate, hate, hate. 不管评论文字如果说爱、
爱、爱,影片的声音和画面一直在说恨、恨、恨。
考例:(XXXX湖南卷)_____ 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
解读:B。句意是:“虽然网络很有用,但是我认为在上面花太多时间不合适”,主从句间是让步关系。
只有while有“尽管”的意思,故选B。
七、in spite of (despite) the fact that与for all (that)
in spite of (despite) the fact that跟从句,表示让步关系,意思是“尽管(某一事实)”。短语介词in
spite of后跟名词fact,后面跟that引导的同位语从句,表示fact的具体内容,但是,整个短语在句中作让
步状语。for all that中的that可以省掉,二者意思相同。如:
In spite of the fact that they don't have a lot of money, they still decide to help him.
尽管他们也没什么钱,但还是决定帮助他。
He always works hard in spite of (despite) the fact that he is not in good health.
他总是努力地工作而不顾自己身体不好的事实。
For all (that) Carl Lewis is getting old, he can still run very fast.
尽管卡尔·路易斯年纪渐长,但他还是跑得很快。
八、granting that, granted that, admitting that, assuming that, allowing that
这四个连词词组的用法相同,意思是“即使,就算”,其实属于分词结构,及物动词grant意思是
“承认”,admit意思是“承认”,assume意思是“假定,设想”,他们都可以跟that引导的宾语从句,
它们的分词短语形式可以作状语,表示让步关系。如:
Granted(=Granting)that you are right, you should not get angry.
即使你是正确的,你也不应该生气。
Admitting(=Assuming =Allowing)that he is drunk,that is no excuse.
即使他喝醉了,那也不是借口。Granting (=Granted) that you don’t like the proposal, you shouldn’t have rejected it without consulting
others. 即使你不喜欢这个建议,你也不应该不同别人商量就把它否决了。
【难点诠释】
whoever等与对应的no matter who等之间的区别
wh-ever除了与no matter+wh-一样可以引导让步状语从句之外,还引导主语从句、宾语从句等名词性
从句。试比较:
任何人最后离开教室都要把门关上。
1) Anyone who leaves the classroom last should close the door.
2) Whoever leaves the classroom last should close the door.
3) No matter who/ Whoever leaves the classroom last, he or she should close the door.
解析:1)用的是不定代词Anyone作主语,who引导的定语从句作定语修饰Anyone。2)中的Whoever
是连接代词,引导主语从句,不可以用No matter who。3)No matter who/ Whoever引导让步状语从
句,两者都可以用。
