２．It is reported that the United States uses ______ energy as the whole of Europe. (2020广西)
A. as twice B. twice much C. twice much as D. twice as much
解析：这是比较的一种形式：倍数＋比较结构。故选D。

19. You and your husband Albany shall have this part of my kingdom with all its rivers and forests and mountains.
你和你的丈夫奥尔巴尼将得到我王国里这一部分及其河流、森林和山脉。
该句中谓语部分的shall事情态助动词，既表示“将来”又表示“承诺、应允”；作为情态动词shall用在陈述句中还可以表示“警告、命令、决心、强制”等，适应各人称。比如：
Then you shall come.(命令) 那么你（必须）要来。
Just a little patience. You shall get the answer this very afternoon.(承诺、应允) 稍微耐心一点，你在今天下午可以拿到答案。
You naughty boy! You shall get what you deserve.(警告) 你这调皮的孩子，等着我收拾你吧。

20. I would rather lose my life than see you make such a mistake.
我宁死都不愿看到你犯这样的错误。
1) rather… than…结构中，than前后的动词都用原形动词。比如：
I would (或had) rather play tennis than swim.我宁愿打网球，不愿去游泳。
2) rather than 结构中，该短语前后的词语性质上要“对称”。比如：
He ran rather than walked.与其说他走还不如说他跑。
I, rather than you, should do the job.该做这件工作的是我，而不是你。
It was what he meant rather than what he said.这是他的用意而不是他说的话。
These shoes are comfortable rather than pretty.这些鞋子穿起来舒服而不好看。
请注意下一句中的动词形式：
Rather than cause trouble, he left.不愿引起麻烦，他走了。
3) 短语would rather后面如果接从句，从句的谓语用虚拟语气。比如：
I would rather you had known it.我倒宁愿你知道了这件事。
I’d rather you did this experiment now.我倒希望你现在就做这个实验。
21. Although married with two children, Shakespeare left Stratford-on-Avon at the age of about 30 and went to London alone.
尽管结婚后养了两个孩子，莎士比亚30岁时还是离开了埃文河畔斯特拉特福镇，只身去了伦敦。
这是省略的主从复合句。含有一个although引导的although he had been married with two children让步状语从句。短语 with two children等于说：and had two children。
真题：Mr. Hall understands that _____ math has always been easy for him, it is not easy for the students. (2020北京)
A. unless B. since C. although D. when
解析：这是复杂的主从复合句，although在宾语从句中引导让步状语。故选C。
Even though he wrote his plays almost 500 years ago, his plays are still relevant today. 他的戏剧尽管是在几乎５００年前写的，可今天仍然适合我们。
even though=even if，也是引导让步状语从句的。再比如：Even though you don’t like wine(Though you may not like wine), try a glass of this!
22. As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father, she begins treating him disrespectfully.
贡纳莉一旦得到她可以从她父亲那里得到的财物，马上开始粗鲁地对待他。
这是复杂的主从复合句：短语as soon as引导时间状语从句。意思是：一……（就……）；she can是定语从句，修饰all；引导词that在定语从句里作宾语，被省略了。
三、课文长句难点剖析
1. For whichever of you has for me the most devotion I will give to her the best part of everything I own.
剖析：这是复杂的主从复合句。
１）连词for引导的原因状语从句是顺便说明原因的，通常要放在主句后。此句中该从句与其前面的句子有逻辑上的“因”“果”关系。否则，不能放在主句的前面。比如：
Kent didn’t come today, for he has been ill.肯特今天没有来，因为他生病了。
回答why提出的问题要用because引导的的句子。比如：
— Why didn’t you stop thief while he was passing by?
— Because I hadn’t known he was a thief before you told me that.
２）whichever“无论哪一个”通常用来指物。比如：
Whichever you want is yours.你要什么就拿什么。
Choose whichever of them you like best.挑选你最喜欢的。
３）“你们中的哪一个”是“第三人称”概念，所以，句子的谓语用单数第三人称has。再比如：I’ll give it to whichever of you wants it.无论你们中的谁要，我都会给的。
译文：（因为）你们当中无论是谁，只要最有孝心，我就把最好的一块给她。
2.This part is equal in value to what I give to Goneril.
剖析：介词短语in value（在价值上／方面）作状语表示范围；what I give to Goneril是宾语从句，从句引导词what作give的宾语。
译文：这一部分和我给贡纳莉的那一部分在价值上是相等的。
3. What have you to say to delight an old man and earn the best part of his kingdom.
剖析：短语have to do 是“不得不”的意思，要注意其与must的区别。比如：I had to go to bed before 10 last night for the electricity failed.昨晚停电了，我只好十点钟前就睡觉了（客观条件所迫）。 Students must go to bed before 10 in the night.学生十点钟前必须就寝（人的主观安排）。
译文：你说什么来取悦一位老人，赢得王国最好的部分呢？
4. I love you as it is right and proper for a daughter to love her father, neither less nor more.
剖析：１）as…在这里引导方式状语从句，修饰谓语动词love。as 还可以引导时间状语从句、原因状语从句、让步状语从句、条件状语从句等，
２）neither… nor…既不。。。。。。也不。。。。。。（参见本单元“关键短语精讲”第９条）
译文：我爱你如同一个女儿恰如其分地爱着父亲，一分不多，一分不少。
5. We’ll see if either wants to be a bridegroom when she has no riches to bring to the marriage.
剖析：either指“法国国王和勃艮第公爵”两人中的任何一个（either of them）。bring to“带来”的意思；不定式短语to bring to the marriage是修饰riches的定语。
译文：我们要看看,她没有分毫的嫁妆,谁会做她的新郎?
真题：
１．—There’s coffee and tea; you can have ______ . (2020全国)
—Thanks.
A. either B. each C. one D. it
解析：either是代词，只两者中的任何一个。故选A。
２．I invited Joe and Linda to dinner, but _____ of them came. (2020北京)
A. neither B. either C. none D. both
解析：理由同上。故选A。
6. It’s as though the whole world has gone to sleep.
剖析： as though等于as if,引导表语从句。有时候从句要用虚拟语气。比如：
He fought as if his life were in danger.他挣扎着就好像有生命危险似的。
It seemed as though the night would never end.夜晚好像永无止尽。
译文：好像整个世界都睡着了。
7. And unless you want me to get rid of the rest of them too, I suggest you teach them how to behave properly.
剖析：１）unless等于if (…) not，“除非”意思，引导条件状语从句。比如：
I will leave at 9 o’clock, unless you want to go earlier.我将９点钟出发，除非你想早一些走。
Don’t leave here unless instructed to.未得到指示不得离开！
真题：
１．The man will have to wait all day _____ the doctor works faster.(2001全国)
A. if B. unless C. whether D. that
解析：unless引导条件状语从句，等于if…not。故选B。
２．_____ you call me to say you’re not coming, I’ll see you at the theatre.(2020吉林)
A. Though B. Whether C. Until D. Unless
解析：同上。故选D。
２）get rid of…意思是：摆脱、去掉、除去。比如：
He can’t get rid of the cold.他感冒老是不好。
３）you teach them how to behave properly是suggest的宾语从句、虚拟语气。suggest作为“建议”解释，其宾语从句用虚拟语气。比如：The doctor suggested Kent (should) be given an operation on right away.大夫建议应该立即给肯特动手术。The manager suggested that the meeting be brought to an end.经理建议结束会议。但是，作“表明、暗示”解释，其宾语从句不用虚拟语气。比如：Her expression suggested that she was angry.她的表情表明她很生气。
译文：你若不想让我把剩下的士兵也赶走的话，我建议你还是教教他们怎样守规矩。
8. The third daughter chose not to flatter her father with dishonest claims and instead told him she loved him only as much as her duty as a daughter required.
剖析：１）not to flatter her father with dishonest claims是否定的动词不定式作chose 的宾语。
真题：The teacher asked us _____ so much noise。(2020北京)
A. don’t make B. not make C. not making D. not to make
解析：这是ask sb. (not) to do 结构。故选D。
２）as a daughter required是比较方式状语从句，是“像女儿要求的那样”意思。
译文：第三个女儿选择了不用溜须拍马奉承她的父亲，而是告诉他，她像做女儿所要求的那样尽女儿的职责爱戴他。
真题：I feel that one of my main duties _____ a teacher is to help the students to become better learners. (2020广东)
A. for B. by C. as D. with
解析：as在此句中是介词，意思是：“作为……”，其余三个介词都没有此意。故选C。
9. The king then went backwards and forwards between his two daughters until he had no soldiers at all.
剖析：连词until的意思：“直到……”，引导时间状语从句。当主句谓语动词是瞬间动词时，要用not…until结构。比如：We won’t start until Bob comes.我们要到鲍勃来的时候才开始。My daughter hadn’t gone to bed until I came back.我的女儿一直到我回来后才去睡觉。until也可以当介词用。比如： I’ll stay here until Friday.我要在这里呆到星期五。
译文：然后，国王在两个女儿之间来来往往、不停地被踢来踢去，一直到丧失了所有的卫士。
真题：
１．—Was his father strict with him when he was at school? (2020春招)
