语法部分
131．答案：B
解析：考查as引导让步状语从句，将much提前。
132．答案：C
解析：本题考查where引导的地点状语从句。意为“放在我总能看到的地方”。
133．答案：C
解析：考查状语从句。as long as “只要”；只要你在上交论文前仔细检查一遍，有些错误就可以避免。
134．答案：D
解析：if 引导的是条件状语从句。
135．答案：D
解析：although引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然……?；但是……”，根据句意可判断出虽然这位老工人在技术知识方面很有限，但他有丰富的经验。since和as引导原因状语从句，since从句表示从上文中已经很清楚或不言自明的原因，语气较because从句弱，较as从句强，有时不是直接的或根本的原因，而只是推理，多前置。as从句多用来解释主句的原因，语气较弱，常表示显而易见的理由，多用于日常会话。unless引导条件状语从句，意为“如果不……，除非”。
136．答案：A
解析：unless引导条件状语从句,表示“如果不,除非”。根据主句的意思可判断出选用unless表示“如果你不试一下的话,你就不能想像它是那么令人高兴”。because引导原因状语从句,意为“因为”,两句之间是因果关系。although引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然……,但是……”。when引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”。
137．答案：B
解析：no matter how和however都可引导让步状语从句，但它们所修饰的形容词或副词应紧跟在它们后面，所以正确答案为B。as也可引导让步状语从句，其语序应为Hard as he tries。
138．答案：A
解析：1980前面没有介词，所以第一个空应选It，指时间；第二个空应选when，引导时间状语从句。注意该题不是强调句型，如果看作强调句型，去掉It was和that后，句子应成立。如果1980前面有in，则是强调句型，强调时间状语in 1980。
139．答案：C
解析：此处考查地点状语从句，其引导词应为where。
140．答案：B
解析：when引导的时间状语从句。
