常见考法
对于原因状语从句的考查,多以单选和完形填空的形式,从连词的意义角度让大家选择连词。
典型例题:He found it increasingly difficult to read, ____ his eyesight was beginning to fail.
A. and B. for C. but D. or
解析:his eyesight was beginning to fail&34;是;he:found it increasingly difficult to read&34;的原因,:因此本题应选用可以表示原因的连词for引导原因状语从句。
答案: B
误区提醒
除了because、since 、as、for这四个词的辨析外,对于because 从句与 because of短语的区分也是难点之一。Because引导的原因状语从句有时可与because of 短语转换,because of后跟的是短语,because后跟的是句子。
典型例题:He didn&39;t:go to work the heavy rain.
A .because B.because of C.so D.since
解析:题干的意思是“由于那场大雨,他没有去上班”,the heavy rain.表示原因,排除C;since和because 表示原因,后面跟的是从句,也就是说必须是一个完整的句子,本题中the heavy rain没有主语和谓语。只是一个短语,所以排除A和C;because of表示“由于···”,后跟名词、代词或短语。
答案:B
