All people, they are old or young,rich or poor,have been trying their best to help those in need since the disaster
A. even if
B. whether
C. no matter
D. however
题目解答
答案
B. whether
解析
本题考查让步状语从句的连词用法,核心在于区分选项中连词的适用场景。关键点在于:
- "whether...or..." 结构表示“无论...还是...”,用于引出两种并列的情况;
- "even if" 强调让步,但需接完整句子;
- "no matter" 需与疑问词连用;
- "however" 通常修饰形容词或副词,不直接引出从句。
选项分析
A. even if
- 功能:表示“即使”,引导让步状语从句。
- 问题:需接完整句子(如 "even if they are old"),但题目中后接的是并列结构(old or young),不符合用法。
B. whether
- 功能:与 "or" 搭配构成 "whether...or..." 结构,表示“无论...还是...”。
- 匹配度:题目中 "they are old or young,rich or poor" 正好是两种并列情况,符合语法要求。
C. no matter
- 功能:需与疑问词(如 what, where)连用(如 "no matter what")。
- 问题:单独使用时不接形容词,无法连接题干中的并列结构。
D. however
- 功能:修饰形容词或副词,通常不直接引出从句。
- 问题:无法连接 "they are old or young" 这样的主谓结构。
结论
"whether" 是唯一能与 "or" 搭配、引出两种并列情况的选项,因此正确答案为 B。
