Henry had just given himself for lost ______ he was spotted by a ship. A．when B．while C．as D．after

Answer 1

A

试题分析：考查连词辨析。When当…时（谓语动词可以是延续性也可以是短暂性）；while当…时（谓语动词是延续性动词）；as随着；after在…后；句意：当他被一艘轮船发现的时候，他正要放弃。本句中的动词spot是一个短暂性动词，故使用when。 点评：连词的词义辨析要放在上下文的语境中进行，要注意上下文的语义的串联以及逻辑关系的推理，特别要注意一些连词和时间状语的固定搭配。
