數詞一般與其它知識綜合起來考察，比如倍數的表達方法，多個形容詞的排列順序等。近幾年語境綜合化程度越來越高。
連詞按其性質,分為並列連詞和從屬連詞,考點分布在單項選擇?完形填空和短文改錯中?《英語教學大綱》和《考試大綱》語法項目表中對連詞的考查是這樣描述的:掌握詞彙表中所列連詞的用法?即要求考生分析句子成分,把握語境和邏輯關係,恰當選擇合適連詞,使句意通順,邏輯清楚?連接代詞或連接副詞用於名詞性從句,統稱連接詞?
連詞考點透析
考點一、?特殊並列連詞while/when
例1. I had just stepped out of the bathroom and was busily drying myself with a towel _______ I heard the steps. (2006年高考湖南卷)

B. when
C. since
D. after
例2.I』d like to study law at university _______ my cousin prefers geography. (2007年高考四川卷)
A. thoughB. as
C. while
D. for
[解析]B?C?作並列連詞時,when/while用法較為特殊,二者區別是:while表兩相對照;而when表突然?在那時,常見於be about to do...when和hardly...when等句型中?
考點二、表示原因的連詞for/because/as/since
例3.He found it increasingly difficult to read, _____ his eyesight was beginning to fail.(2006年高考北京卷)
A. and
B. for
C. but
D. or
例4.Jenny was very sad over the loss of the photos she had shot at Canada, ______ this was a memory she especially treasured. (2006年高考廣東卷)

C. unless
D. if
例6._____ everybody knows about it, I don’t want to talk any more.
A. For
B. Even
C. Since
D. However
[解析]B?A?A?C?引導原因連詞,as/because/ since/ for的區別是:because語勢最強,用來說明人所未知的原因,回答why提出的問題,可置於強調句中且其前可加修飾語; since是雙方都知曉原因或經過分析而得之的原因,語氣次之;for是並列連詞,前用逗號隔開,表邏輯推理或補充說明;as語氣最弱,原因是顯而易見的或已為人們所知,即已知原因,所引導的分句可置於句首?
考點三、並列連詞but/yet/though
例7. Excuse me for breaking in, ______ I have some news for you.
A. so
B. and
C. but
D. yet
[解析]C?but和yet 是連詞,可等同使用,但也有區別?yet與and連用,構成and yet,但but卻無此用法;在「Excuse me/I’m sorry/I hope you don’t mind…but」中,只用but,不用yet?因為在表示對照或對立時,but較為輕鬆自然;而yet卻較為強烈,常出人意料;though作並列連詞時,只能引導分句且其前須加逗號?例:I』ll try to come, though I don’t think I shall manage it.
考點四、引導名詞性從句的從屬連詞that/whether/if
例8.The traditional view is ______ we sleep because our brain is 「programmed」 to make us do so. (2007 年高考上海卷)

C. whether
D. that
例9.We haven’t settled the question of _____ it is necessary for him to study abroad. ( 2006年高考江蘇卷)
A. if
B. where
C. whetherD. that
[解析]D?C?引導名詞性從句的從屬連詞that與whether的區別是:句子成分完整且表意確定時選用that連接,句意不確定時選用whether/if連接;藉助it,將真正主語或賓語後置,構成「It…that」句型,但whether/if不可;下列情形用whether不用if:與or not 連用,中間無其他詞隔開;作介詞賓語;在主語從句?表語從句和同位語從句中?例:
Whether we』ll go camping tomorrow depends on the weather.
考點五、表示比較的從屬連詞what/as
例10. Engines are to machines ______ hearts are to animals. (2006年高考山東卷)
A. as
B. that

A. half not as wide as
B. wide not as half as
C. not half as wide as
D. as wide as not half
[解析]C?C?C?what用作從屬連詞,表比較,用於A is to B what C is to D結構中;而as表示原級比較,常用於as...as結構中,程度修飾語應置於第一個as之前,嵌入的形容詞或副詞使用原級?另外as還表「正如?按照」,引導方式連詞?
考點六、表示條件的從屬連詞if /unless/as long as/once
例13. ________ I know the money is safe, I shall not worry about it.
A. Even thoughB. UnlessC. As long asD. While

D. though
例16.I won’t call you, _____ something unexpected happens.(2007年考全國卷)
A. unlessB. whether C. becauseD. while
[解析]C?D?B?A?表條件的連詞if/unless/as long as/unless在用法上存在一些差異?as long as用法同only if/on condition that,強調某事的發生以另一事件的發生為前提;if為正麵條件,可能會產生好的或壞的結果,若某種條件產生壞的結果,此時的if可用as long as替換; unless為反麵條件,表示除非,如果不,故在真實條件句中常和if…not換用;once既表時間,又包含條件,譯作一旦?
考點七、表示讓步的從屬連詞although/when/while
例17. We had to wait half an hour _______ we had already booked a table. (2007年高考遼寧卷)
A. sinceB. although

A. As
B. Since
C. If
D. While
【解析】B?D?although/when/while均可表示讓步,後兩者的用法較為特殊?although/though引導讓步連詞時不與but和yet連用;而while卻表示「部分接受,但並非全部」,或用於「強調兩種情況?活動等之間的差距」;when也可表示雖然,儘管,同even if,常置於句末?
