（八）重视条件从句

　　四级题目中特别是Section A中的对话，有不少是通过条件句来表达建议，想法，结果和趋势等。因此，能正确理解和抓住说话者所要表达的真实意图至为重要。条件句有两种，一是真实条件句，二是虚拟条件句。真实条件句表达的意思是直接而明显的，一般指有可能实现；虚拟条件句是间接而含蓄的。对后者应有足够的谨慎。下面两个例子可作为说明：

　　M:If I go to the store,will you make dinner for us tonight?
　　W:Bring back enough food.
　　Q:What will the woman do if the man shops?

　　A.The woman will cook.
　　B.He won't buy enough.
　　C.He'll get in a bad mood.
　　D.He will make dinner.
　　应选A

　　又如:W:Did you see film last night?
　　M:I wouldn't have gone to see it if I'd known it was boring.
　　Q:Where was the man last night?

　　A. In a bar. B.In a cinema. C.At a lecture. D.Unreasonable.
　　应选 B

　　条件句中以if引导居多，注意这种句式的表达特点。

　　它们经常用省略的形式，如if possible,if any,if not,if so,if necessary,if needed等，听省略形式的条件句，主要应该抓住主句的基本内容，因为条件句不易听错，只要抓住了主句的基本内容，就能正确做题。此外，表示条件的连词，除了if外，还有as long as,so long as,suppose,supposing,let's say等。
