（2）AndwhatstartedoutasanobligationtotheArmybecameawayoflifethatIstayedcommittedtofor37years,threemonthsandthreedays. 

本部分重点及难点：

1.IhadafeelingIhadbeentoldsomethingreallyimportant,butittookmanyyearsbeforeitsankin.我有种感觉--父亲跟我说了一些确实重要的东西，但许多年后我才真正理解。

（1）anobligationtotheArmy对于部队的义务

本部分重点及难点：

3.Andasbadasthatwoman'sjobwas,itwasenoughtokeepasmallfamilyalive.

此处疑似错句，应省略前面的as，即改为：

Andbadasthatwoman'sjobwas,itwasenoughtokeepasmallfamilyalive.虽然她的工作实在很糟糕，但那却足够养活一个小家庭。

as意为"虽然"，用于倒装，句式如下：

Thoughheisveryyoung,heisverylearned.=Youngasheis,heisverylearned.

Thoughheisanoldman,heisveryenergetic.=Oldmanasheis,heisveryenergetic.

ThoughIlikehimverymuch,Iwon'tdohishomeworkforhim.

　　　　　　　　　　　　=MuchasIlikehim,Iwon'tdohishomeworkforhim.Thoughhetried,hefailedagain.=Tryashedid,hefailedagain.

请认真答题，答题结果将记入知识点测评的成绩！

【单选题】7._______,heisverygentleandhasasweetvoice.

A．Asheisboy

B．Asheisaboy

C．Aboyasheis

D．Boyasheis

【答案】D【解析】本题考查as用于倒装句。

Although/thoughheisaboy=boyasheis，这里一定要注意的是修饰可数名词单数形式的不定冠词要省略。

这句话的意思是"虽然他是个男孩，他非常温和而且声音甜美。

"【知识点】as用于倒装句
