Question

【題目】Our parents sat us down to read and paint________all we really wanted to do was to make a mess.

A.whenB.asC.sinceD.until

Answer 1

【答案】A

【解析】

考查狀語從句連詞。句意：我們的父母讓我們坐下來讀書、畫畫，盡管我們真正想做的是弄得一團(tuán)糟。A. when當(dāng)……時(shí)候，雖然，盡管；B. as因?yàn)椋��?dāng)；C. since既然；D. until直到。分析句子可知，前后兩句表讓步，應(yīng)用when引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，這里的when相當(dāng)于though/although的用法，意為“雖然、盡管”。故選A項(xiàng)。
