二、从方框中选择适当的连词填空。
because as soon as while although until
1. She was writing he was cooking.
2. He'll wait for his mother she comes back.
3. I will call you I arrive in Chengdu.
4. Mary is tired, she still goes on working.
5. it was hot outside, we stayed at home and watched TV.

1. while；2. until；3. as soon as；4. although；5. because

【分析】首先明确给定连词的含义与用法：while用于引导时间状语从句，表两个动作同时进行；until表“直到…为止”，主句常用延续性动词；as soon as表“一…就…”，引导时间状语从句；although表“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句；because表“因为”，引导原因状语从句。再结合每个句子的逻辑关系匹配对应连词：1. 句中两个动作同时进行，选while；2. 句中表等待的截止时间，选until；3. 句中表动作的先后即时性，选as soon as；4. 句中表让步关系，选although；5. 句中表原因，选because。
【解析】1. 句中“writing”和“cooking”是同时发生的持续性动作，while可引导时间状语从句表示两个同步进行的动作，故填while；2. 句中“wait”为延续性动词，表达“等待直到妈妈回来”的语义，until表“直到…为止”，符合语境，故填until；3. 句中表达“一到达成都就打电话”的即时动作，as soon as表“一…就…”，引导时间状语从句，故填as soon as；4. 句中“玛丽累了”与“继续工作”是让步关系，although引导让步状语从句，符合逻辑，故填although；5. 句中“待在家看电视”的原因是“外面热”，because引导原因状语从句，故填because。
【答案】1. while；2. until；3. as soon as；4. although；5. because
【知识点】时间状语从句连词、让步状语从句连词、原因状语从句连词
【点评】本题考查初中英语核心从属连词的用法辨析，需掌握不同连词的语义及适用语境，属于基础题型，只要理清句子逻辑关系即可正确作答。

4. 固定句型It's best not to do sth，“嘲笑”是laugh at，故填not to laugh at；
