试题精解1.[精解]本题考查连词用法辨析。空格处填入的连词应反映空格所在分句和下一句之间的逻辑关系。四个选项,while表时间或让步,意为“当……的时候”或“虽然,尽管”;when表时间,意为“当……的时候”;though表让步,意为“尽管,虽然”;unless表条件,意为“除非”。根据文意,两个分句之间是时间关系,因此需要在while和when之间选择。when既可指一段时间,也可指一个时间点,既可表示持续的动作,也可表示一时性的动作;while则只能表示持续性的动作或状态。如:When she comes,(指一个时间点,不能用while)I shall tell her to wait for you.(她来的时候我会叫她等你的。)When Jim was reading,(指一段时间,可用while)Jack was writing.(吉姆阅读的时候,杰克在写东西。)空格所在分句中的动作roamed不是持续性的动作,只能用when,[B]正确。
