句型梳理
1【教材原句】 They are often so thick that you cannot see the sun，and the wind is sometimes strong enough to move sand dunes.(P32)
沙塵暴經(jīng)常是非�；鞚岬囊灾劣谀憧床灰娞�，而且風(fēng)有時大得能夠刮動沙丘。
【句法分析】 so...that...“如此……以至于……”，引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句。
so...that和such...that引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語從句都表示主句的動作或狀態(tài)達到一定程度而引起的結(jié)果。so是副詞，用來修飾形容詞、副詞、分詞或其他結(jié)構(gòu)；such 是形容詞，用來修飾名詞或名詞短語。such 修飾單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞且名詞前有形容詞時，可用so替換such，冠詞與形容詞交換位置，構(gòu)成“so＋adj.＋a(an)＋名詞”。名詞前有many，much，few等表示數(shù)量的詞時，一般用“so...that...”句型。
so...that...和such...that...構(gòu)成以下句型：
但little意為“小的”時，只能用such。為加強語氣，“so(such)．..that”結(jié)構(gòu)中的so或such位于句首時，主句要用部分倒裝語序。例如：
①He spoke in so low a voice that none of the people in the hall heard what he was saying.
他講話的聲音那么小，以至于大廳里的人都沒聽清他在講什么。
②It is such fine weather that we all want to go to the park.
今天天氣很好，我們都想去公園。

他走得如此之快以致沒人能跟上他。
⑤It is so quiet in the room that you can hear the drop of a pin.

14．My suitcase became damaged on the journey home，________the lid would not stay closed.
A．so that B．in order that C．because D．now that
解析：選A。so that引導(dǎo)一個結(jié)果狀語從句，表示“結(jié)果蓋子扣不死了”。
15.He is________a careless boy that he has made________many mistakes in the final exams.
A．such；such B．so；such C．so；so D．such；so
解析：選D。本題考查such和so兩個詞的用法。第一空考查的是such＋a＋adj.＋可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)＋that從句，意思是“如此……以至于”；第二空考查的是so＋many/few＋可數(shù)名詞，意思是“如此多/少的……”。故選D。
2【教材原句】 The garbage is then taken away and, if possible，recycled.(P39)
然后垃圾被帶走，如果可能的話會進行回收利用。
【句法分析】 (1)if possible是if it is possible的省略形式。當(dāng)if，when, while，until，unless，once，whether等引導(dǎo)的狀語從句的主語與主句的主語相同，并且從句中含有系動詞be的某種形式時，或從句的主語是it且含有be動詞時，從句中的主語及部分謂語(be動詞)可省略。
(2)if引導(dǎo)省略的情況有下列幾種：
if any如果有的話
if necessary如果需要的話
if so如果是這樣的話
if ever如果曾經(jīng)有的話
if not 如果不這樣的話
①Unless necessary，you’d better not refer to the dictionary.
你最好別查字典，除非有必要。
