A．/；a B．the；the C．/；the D．the；a 解析：句意：史密斯一家通常不喜欢住旅馆，但是去年夏天他们在海边一家不错的旅馆住了几天。本题考查冠词的基本用法和习惯用法。第一空后复数名词hotels在本句中表示泛指，故用零冠词，排除B、D两项；第二空by the sea为习惯用语，意为“在海边(＝on the coast)”。 答案：C 2．(2011年高考浙江卷)Experts think that ________ re cently discovered painting may be ________ Picasso. A．the；/ B．a；the C．a；/ D．the；a 解析：句意：专家们认为近来发现的那部绘画作品可能是毕加索的作品。句中painting前有修饰语recently discovered，所以此处的painting是特指，故其前用定冠词the；第二个空后的Picasso本来是专有名词，指“毕加索”其人，但是在本句中，它指的是“一部毕加索的作品”，所以其前用不定冠词a，这实际上是专有名词具体化的使用。 答案：D 3．(2012年高考浙江卷)The development of industry has been ________ gradual process throughout ________ human existence，from stone tools to modern technology.

专题十一状语从句 状语从句在高考试题中由于其他从句的干扰，以及倒装句，强调句的介入，使得状语从句更为复杂。状语从句是一种副词性从句，通常由一个从属连词或一个起连词作用的词组引导。状语从句 1. 时间状语从句 常见的连词(组)： when, while, as, before, after, once, till, until, as soon as, now that, hardly ...when, scarcely ...when, no sooner ...than等。 可以引导时间状语从句的副（介）词（短语）或名词短语： directly, instantly, immediately, by the time, the moment, the second, the minute, the instant, every time, each time, next time, the last time等。 注意点如下： (1) when, while, as引导的时间状语从句 as表示“当……的时候”，往往和when/ while通用，但它着重强调主句与从句的动作或事情同时或几乎同时发生。when(at or during the time)既可以表示在某一点的时候，又可以表示在某一段时间内，主句与从句的动作或事情可以同时发生也可以先后发生。while强调一段时间，仅表示从句和主句的动作同时发生，并且有延续意义，该从句中的动词一般要用延续性动词，从句中常用过去进行时态或一般过去时态；当when表示a period of time时，两者可以互换。 She came up as I was cooking.(同时) 在我做饭时，她走了过来。 When we were at school, we went to the library every day.(在一段时间内) 当我们在学校时，每天都去图书馆。 While they were watching TV, I was preparing myself for the coming examination. 他们在看电视，而我在为即将到来的考试做准备。 Strike while the iron is hot. 趁热打铁。( 不可用as或when，这里的while意思是“趁……”) (2) before引导状语从句时的常见重点句型 ①It will (not) be ...before ... 还要……才，要不了多久就…… It was (not) ...before ... 过了……才(没多久就……) It was a long time before I got to sleep. 过了好长时间我才睡着了。 It wasn t long before he told me about the news. 没多久他就告诉了我那条新闻。 ②不等……就……；在……之前就…… The telephone rang off before I could answer it. 我还没来得及接电话，电话就挂断了。 ③刚……就…… He hardly entered the room before he heard the telephone ring. 他刚进屋电话铃就响了。
