高考英语陷阱题总结归纳——连词◆典型陷阱题分析◆1. I'm sorry, _____ I won't be able to come tonight.A. forB. andC. butD. then【陷阱】容易误选A，因为空格后的句子是用以说明I'm sorry 的原因的，所以便想当然地认为要选for来表示原因。
【分析】事实上，I'm sorry 后习惯上不接表示原因的连词for，而接表示转折的连词but（也可省略but），用以委婉地提出一个使对方不快的事实。
又如：Oh, sorry, but she's out. 哦，不好意思，她出去了。
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. 对不起，我不敢苟同。
I'm sorry, but I have already had another appointment. 对不起，我已经有约会了。
注：I'm sorry 后虽然不能接表原因的连词for，但却可接介词for.如：I'm sorry for shouting at you. 对不起冲你嚷嚷了。
I am sorry for what I said to you. 我后悔不该对你讲那些话。
2. The point is not who said the words, _____ they are true or not.A. but whetherB. and whetherC. but howD. and how【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选。
【分析】最佳答案为A.此题涉及两个搭配：一是not …but …（不是……而是……），二是whether …or not （是否）。
请看类例：He was not an actor, who often appeared on stage, _____ a writer, writing stories.A. butB. andC. thenD. so答案选A，主要考查not …but …结构。
3. Just because they make more money than I do, _____ they seem to look down on me.A. soB. andC. butD. 不填。
so …because …直译为……”所以……因为“，将汉语的A但容易误选【陷阱】【分析】此题正确答案为D，但是按英语语法，because 为从属连词，用以引导原因状语从句，它表明整个句子为复合句；而so 在表示“所以”时，它是并列连词，用以连接两个简单句使之成为并列句。
由于在同一句中既用了从属连词because，又用了并列连词so，使得该句一半像复合句，一半像并列句，从而导致错误。
正确的做法是，任意去掉because 和so 中的一个，使之要么成为复合句，要么成为并列句。
4. Although he had only entered the contest for fun, _____ he won first prize.A. butB. andC. evenD. 不填【陷阱】容易误选A，将汉语的“虽然……但是……”直译为although …but …。
【分析】正确答案选D.按英语语法，although 为从属连词，用以引导让步状语从句，它表明整个句子为复合句；而but 在表示“但是”时，它是并列连词，用以连接两个简单句使之成为并列句。
由于在同一句中既用了从属连词although，又用了并列连词but ，使得该句一半像复合句，一半像并列句，从而导致错误。
正确的做法是，任意去掉although 和but中的一个，使之要么成为复合句，要么成为并列句。
其实，此题与上面一题的分析思路是一样的。
这里顺便说一句，许多同学（包括许多老师和教学参考书）为了便于记忆，将此题与上面一题的知识点简单地归纳为“按英语习惯，because和so不可连用，although 与but 不可连用”。
这种说法在通常情况下无疑是对的，也是有效的，但同学们一定要在明白以上道理的情况下来使用此规则，如果只是死记该规则，有时遇到一些语言特例仍然会出错。
如：But I didn't know that then, although I learned it later. 但我当时的确不知道此事，尽管后来我还是知道了。
此句既用了并列连词but，又用了从属连词although，但它并未造成错误，原因是此句与上面所讨论的情形有所不同，即此句but 用于although 之前，but 在此仅起到与上文转折的作用，but 后的I didn't know that then, although I learned it later. 仍为一个复合句。
I tried doing the accounts, but although I knew some maths I found it very difficult. 我试着算这些账，但尽管我懂点数学，仍感到很困难。
此句将but 与although 用在一起，但此句也没有错误。
该句从总体来看，它是一个以并列连词but 连接的并列句，而在该并列句的后面一句又是一个包含让步状语从句although I knew some maths 的复合句——这种句型就是所谓的并列复合句。
此句也可改写为I trieddoing the accounts, but I found it very difficult although I knew some maths.5. When the last prize had been awarded _____ everybody cleared off.A. andB. soC. orD. 不填【陷阱】容易想当然地误选A.【分析】句首when 引导的是一个时间状语从句，它暗示整个句子为复合句；而so, and,or 为并列连词，无论选哪一个，都表明整个句子为并列句，从而导致前后矛盾，所以A、B、C 均不能选择。
此题正确答案选D，everybody cleared off 为整个复合句的主句。
请看类似例子：（1）If wishes were horses, _____ beggars would ride.A. andB. soC. orD. 不填（2）If I'm mistaken, _____ you are mistaken too.A. soB. andC. orD. 不填（3）Just before I left London, _____ I sent him a telegram.A. andB. soC. orD. 不填（4）After they had each said a few words, _____ Lloyd George took the floor.A. andB. soC. orD. 不填答案均选D，空格前分别为if, when, before, after 引导的状语从句，空格后为整个复合句的主句。

2. 选C，句意为“这家酒店开门到什么？（或这家酒店什么时候关门？）”3. 选C，选项A用No来回答选择疑问句，不妥；选项B用and 连接tea 与coffee，说明问句并非提供选择，而答语却用了either 这样表选择性的词语，也不妥；选项D与语境不符。
4. 选D，前后意思转折，故选but.注：but they do = but they like him.5. 选C，that 为引导宾语从句的连词，在that what he said at the meeting was right 这一宾语从句中，又包含有what he said at the meeting 这一主语从句，而在该主语从句中，what用作动词said 的宾语。
