解析
考查要点:本题主要考查学生对原因状语从句结构"now that"的掌握,以及将两个简单句整合为复合句的能力。
解题核心:
- 识别逻辑关系:需判断哪两个句子存在原因与结果的逻辑关系(即从句表达原因,主句表达结果)。
- 结构匹配:确保从句用"now that"引导,主句表达由此引发的结论或建议。
关键点:注意句子间的逻辑连贯性,避免搭配不符合常理的组合。
第1题
逻辑分析:
- 原因句:"You are a grown-up."(作为成年人)
- 结果句:"You should earn a living on your own."(应独立谋生)
组合逻辑:成年是需要独立谋生的直接原因。
第2题
逻辑分析:
- 原因句:"You live only a few blocks from your company."(住处离公司近)
- 结果句:"You may walk to work every day."(可步行上班)
组合逻辑:距离近是步行上班的便利条件。
第3题
逻辑分析:
- 原因句:"You are here."(当前在场)
- 结果句:"You might as well stay for dinner."(应留下吃饭)
组合逻辑:在场是建议留下的合理理由。
