时间、条件和让步状语从句
1、时间状语从句
（1）when/ while/ as 的用法。

when表示从句动作和主句动作同时发生，或先于主句动作；while表示从句的动作与主句动作同
时发生，并且有延续的含义；as从句动作与主句动作相并发生，常常译为“边……边……”

The moment I saw him, I thought of his father.

if可

He will never make progress unless he works hard. 除非他努力学习，否则不会有进步。

If I were you, I would give up smoking at once. 我是你的话，就戒烟。

(l)whatever(whenever/ however…)和no matter what(when, how…)这两种形式都可引导让步状语从句，意义无差异。

Whatever(=No matter what) happens, we will not change our mind.
不管发生了什么，我们都不会改变主意。

However difficult（=No matter how difficult ） the work is, we will try our best to finish it in time.
不管有多么大的困难，我们都会努力按时完成任务。

（2）形容词/副词/名词+as/ though可引导一个让步状语从句，表示强调。

虽然年轻，她对生活的了解不少。

Bravely as/ though they fought, they had no cha nee of winning.
虽然作战勇敢，他们还是无胜利的机会。

Child as/ though he is, he can speaks three Ian guages.
虽然还是个孩子，可他能操三种语言。

（3）even if/ even though/ although/ though 都作"虽然”，"尽管”解释，但是even if 和even though
所标示的让步语气最强，although次之，though最弱。

He will n ever tell you the truth even if he knows it.
即使他知道，他也不会告诉你真相。

The old woma n is un happy though she has a lot of mon ey.

III. 阅读理解 (共 15小题； 每小题 2 分，满分 30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 A 、B 、C 和 D) 中， 选出最佳选项。

A
The Food and Drug Administration is, again, threatening to impose milk and meat from cloned animals on a public that opposes the technology and its products.
Respected polls report that more than 60% of Americans think animal cloning is immoral, and that most people said they wouldn ' t knowingly ea t he products even if the FDA approved them. But because the FDA would allow cloned meat and milk to be sold without identifying labels, consumers wouldn 't be able to avoid them. The FDA has consistently tilted toward those who want cloned milk and meat in our food. Agency officials have repeatedly asserted that science shows cloned milk and meat are safe for humans. But the FDA has never published the complete scientific studies it says support that claim.
The argument that cloning is safe for animals is unconvincing. Cloned meat and milk offer no public economic benefits. Having cloned cows produce more milk wouldn 't reduce milk prices. US farmers produce more milk than we drink, and the government is required to buy the surplus. Since 2000, dairy support programs have cost taxpayers more than $ 5 billion.
Most important, this first decision to advance animal biotechnology raises ethical issues beyond the FDA 's expertise. Techniques used to clone animals will advance the ability to clone humans — and create animals with human genes. Neither the agency nor animal scientists are qualified to tell us whether and when it is ethically acceptable for humans to alter the essential nature of animals. We need a national discussion, including ethicists and religious leaders, to consider the wisdom of cloned and transgenic animals. Given the risk of unintended consequences, we should proceed cautiously. The president should halt further FDA action on cloning and set in motion a process for beginning this broader discussion. 36. The author 's attitude towards cloning is _____ . A. neutral
B. opposed
C. approving
D. supportive
37. In US many people buy cloned foods ________ . A. to support the new technique B. because FDA approved them
16. A. recog nize 17. A. hav ing bee n 18. A. pick up 19. A. maki ng 20. A. depress 21. A. in any way I can
