高二英語上冊專題輔導
such a high pace, the true challenge is to find new ways
of using it. 既然我們已經在以這么快的速度發展新技
術。那么真正的挑戰就是找到新的方法去利用這些新
技術。
本句要注意now that的用法。now that表示“既然”、
“由于”。引導原因狀語從句，比較口語化，在口語中，還
可省去that。例如：
now that you have grown up, you must stop this child—
ish behavior. 既然已經長大，你就必須停止這種幼稚行
為。
now that you have grown up, you should not rely on
your parents. 既然已經長大，你就不應該再依靠父母。
【考例4】(nmet 1999) ____ you've got a chance,
you might as well make full use of it.
a. now that b. after
c. although d. as soon as
[考查目標] 本題考查連詞的用法。
[答案與解析]a 引導不同類型的狀語從句，則要根據
全句的意思選擇適當的連詞。選項a中的now that表
示“既然”，用于引導原因狀語從句；選項b中的 after
表示“在……之后”，用于引導時間狀語從句；選項c中
的although表示“雖然”，用于引導讓步狀語從句；選項
d中的as soon as表示“一……就……”，用于引導時間
狀語從句。本題意為“既然你已經有了機會，就應該充
分利用”。
