2021届高考英语一轮复习考点25并列连词和并列句考点归纳 试卷

考点25  并列连词和并列句

高考频度：★★★★★

【命题解读】

连词分为并列连词和从属连词两大类。并列连词是连接主语与主语、谓语与谓语、句子与句子、分词与分词的词，它要求前后两部分有相同的形式和语法作用。

【命题预测】

预计2021年高考对连词的考查主要集中在简单句、并列句和各种复合句的掌握上，尤其是对连词的选择与使用上，如：and, but, or, while等等。

【复习建议】

1. 掌握并列连词的基本用法；
2. 掌握并列连词的固定句型。

考向一 并列句

一、并列连词

1.表示并列关系的连词：

and: 可用来连接两个或两个以上的单词/短语或句子，表示一种顺接的关系。

     We are singing and they are dancing.

or：用于否定句中连接并列成分，表示＂和，与＂；

用于＂祈使句+or+陈述句＂中，意为＂否则，要不然＂。

The baby is too young. He can’t speak or walk.

both…and：＂两个都……＂，连接两个并列主语时谓语动词用复数。

            Both Li Ping and Mary are going to the Great Wall tomorrow.

either…or…：＂要么……要么＂，连接的并列成分可在句中作主语、表语、宾语等。连接并列成分作主语时，谓语动词通常与or后的部分保持一致。

            Either she or I am right.

neither…nor: ＂既不……也不……＂，连接的并列成分可在句中作主语、表语、宾语等。连接并列成分作主语时，谓语动词通常与nor后的部分保持一致。

              Neither he nor I am right.

not only…but also: ＂不仅……而且……＂，强调后者；引导并列主语时，谓语动词与后面的主语保持一致。

                Not only the students but also the teacher gives the money to our school.

2. 表示转折关系的并列连词

3. 表示因果关系的并列连词

  for：

so：

4. 其他常用并列连词

   when：＂就在那时＂，常用句型：

          be about to do…when…

          be going to do…when…

          be doing…when…

   ►I was about to leave when the telephone rang.

二、并列句

并列句由两个或者两个以上独立分句并列在一起构成， 起基本结构是 分句加并列连词加分句。

在并列句中， 除了使用并列连词以外还可以使用并列连词词组， 或者连接副词来连接分句，有时甚至不用并列连词， 只用逗号. 分号. 冒号等把分句隔开。

常用的并列连词有：and , but , or, for, so , neither, nor …  

并列连词词组有：either…or,  neither…nor, both…and, as well as, not only…but also…  

连接副词有：besides, furthermore, moreover …

1. 【2020·新课标III卷·短文改错】In order to make sure all of us are in good health, and she makes specific plans for us.

【答案】第二句：去掉 and考查连词。 

【解析】make sure 为固定搭配，意为“确信，确保”；此句为简单句，此处不需要并列连词，故应去掉 and。 

2. 【2020·山东新高考·语法填空】They kept their collection at home until it got too big   37   until they died, and then it was given to a museum.

【答案】 37. or

3.【2019·新课标I卷·短文改错】Suddenly football feel just in front of me but almost hit me.

【答案】 Suddenly  football fell just in front of me  almost hit me.

【解析】考查冠词。名词football为可数名词，前边需要有限定词。这里football第一次出现，故在football前加a；考查连词。句意：突然一个足球落在我前边并且差点打到我。“足球落下来”与“打到我”两个动作是顺承关系，不是转折关系。故将but改为and。

5.【2019·新课标III卷·语法填空】On our way to the house，it was raining ___61___ hard that we couldn't help wondering how long it would take to get (get)there. It was in the middle of Pearl City.

1. 【答案】第二句：去掉 and考查连词。 

【解析】make sure 为固定搭配，意为“确信，确保”；此句为简单句，此处不需要并列连词，故应去掉 and。  2. 【答案】 37. or

【解析】句意为：他们把藏品留在家里，直到这些藏品变得太多或者他们去世，然后才会将其捐赠给博物馆。此处 until it got too big 和 until they died 是两个并列成分，表示选择关系，故用连词 or。

3.【答案】 Suddenly  football fell just in front of me  almost hit me.

【解析】考查冠词。名词football为可数名词，前边需要有限定词。这里football第一次出现，故在football前加a；考查连词。句意：突然一个足球落在我前边并且差点打到我。“足球落下来”与“打到我”两个动作是顺承关系，不是转折关系。故将but改为and。

4.【答案】but

【解析】考查并列连词。根据句意逻辑可知，此处为转折关系，句意：我工作不是因为我不得不做，而是因为我想做。此处用but与前文not 呼应，构成“不是……而是 ……”之意，故填but。
