解析
本题考查“now that”引导原因状语从句的用法,需要将六个简单句两两配对,组成三个复合句。解题核心在于:
- 识别逻辑关系:找到两个句子之间的因果或条件关系,确保从句(原因)在前,主句(结果)在后。
- 固定结构:使用“Now that + 从句,主句”结构,注意主从句的逻辑连贯性。
第1题
关键逻辑:作为成年人,应该独立谋生。
- 从句:“You are a grown-up”(原因:身份是成年人)
- 主句:“You should earn a living on your own”(结果:应独立谋生)
组合:Now that you are a grown-up, you should earn a living on your own.
第2题
关键逻辑:住得近,可以步行上班。
- 从句:“You live only a few blocks from your company”(原因:住得近)
- 主句:“You may walk to work every day”(结果:可步行上班)
组合:Now that you live only a few blocks from your company, you may walk to work every day.
第3题
关键逻辑:既然在场,不如留下吃饭。
- 从句:“You are here”(原因:人在现场)
- 主句:“You might as well stay for dinner”(结果:不妨留下)
组合:Now that you are here, you might as well stay for dinner.
