本考点是历年高考中经常考查的要点，主要考查并列连词如：and，but，or等，以及状语从句中的连词when，while，as，if，though等。
考查形式：语法填空和改错，另外还需要注意在阅读理解和完形填空中出现的连词含义。
01
考点精讲
1.并列连词
常见的并列连词有and，but，or，not….but…. (不是…而是….), not only…but also…. (不仅….而且….) ;neither….nor….. (既不….也不….)either….or…. (要么….要么….)
用法：并列的成分保持一致（可以并列主语，谓语，宾语，状语等）
例如：She is not a teacherbut a doctor. (并列宾语)Tom is notin the library but in the room. (并列状语)
Either Li lei or Jim goes to see a movie. (并列主语)
注意：在高考中主要是结合句意来理解。
例如：1） He is a shy man,_____ he is not afraid of anything or anyone. (北京)
解析：结合句意，他是个害羞的人，但不怕任何事和任何人。表转折故填but。
2） Give me a chance,____I’ll give you a wonderful surprise. (天津高考)解析：根据句意：给我一个机会，我就会给你个伟大的惊喜。此时这里表示并列关系，故填and。
2.状语从句连接两个对立的分句;连词后的句子为从句，另个句子是主句；例如：If you can study hard, (从句) you will be successful.（主句）
1）when, while ,as的用法都可以表示“当…..时候”；可以相互替换；
as、when、while用法一览表
注意：when还可以表示这时，突然的意思；
例如：We are having a meeting when someone breaks into the room. （when这里表示突然）
while可以表示然而，尽管等含义
例如：He likes pop music,while I am fond of folk music. (表示对比关系)
2）表示“一…….就……”的连词
有：as soon as, once, immediately,instantly, the moment,the minute, hardly……when……, no sooner…..than……;
例如：As soon as I get home, I start to do my homework.
3）容易混淆的连词
有：as long as (只要)；even if / even though即使；as if / as though 好像；now that 既然；in case 以防；万一；so that 以便于等
4）让步状语从句
（1）although与though可以引导让步状语从句，不能与but连用，但可以与yet连用。
Although they are poor, (yet) they are warm-hearted.
（2）even if或even though引导让步状语从句，表示“即使”，“纵然”，用来使人注意下文所强调内容的性质。
I’ll get there even if (though) I have to sell my house to get enough money to go by air.
（3）no matter后接上who、what、where、how等疑问词，也可以在这类疑问词后面加上ever构成whoever、whatever、wherever、however等。
Don’t trust him, no matter what / whatever he says.
Whoever breaks the law will be published.
No matter how hard the work is, you’d better try to do it well.
（4）as也可以引导让步状语从句。要用倒装。
Child as (though) he is, he knows a lot.
Much as I like it, I won’t buy.
Try as he would, he couldn’t lift the heavy box.
5）because, for, as, since, now that的区别
（1）表示不知道的原因时用 because，即说话人认为听话人不知道，因此 because 从句是全句最重要的部分，通常它被置于主句之后。
You want to know why I’m leaving? I’m leaving because I’m full.
for 虽然表示不知道的原因，但其语气较 because 要弱得多，是可说可不说的话，它只能置于主句之后，这时，for 是并列连词。如果不是因果关系，而是对前面主句的内容加以解释或推断时，只能用 for。如：It’s morning now, for the birds are singing.（很显然，鸟叫不可能是“现在已是早上”的原因。）
（2）表示已经知道的原因时用 as 或 since，即某种原因在说话人看来已经很明显，或已为听话人所熟悉，因此它是句中不很重要的部分。since 要比 as 正式一些，它们通常被置于语句之前，但有时却相反。
