从句类以状语从句最难,这里仅此精讲.其余的相信大家是没问题的.
状语从句
1.when 引导的状语从句放在主句之后,可以表示没有料到却突然发生的事情,意思上相当于and,then,suddenly,强调动作的突然性.when 后面还可以接suddenly.这种when 从句一般有三种情况.

1)与was (just) doing 或 was连用时,如:
I was taking a walk when I came across my aunt .
我正在散步,不料却遇上了我的婶婶.

I was just writting a composition when the doorbell rang .
我正要写一篇作文,突然门铃响了.

I was in bed when suddenly I heard someone shout ,help,help!
我睡在床上,突然听见有人喊救命.

2)与was (just) about to do 连用时,如:
I was just about to go out when it began to rain .
我还没出门,突然天下起雨来了.

3)与 in the middle of 或 on the point of 连用时,如:
She was in the middle of telling me the news when a cloud came over her face .
她正在告诉我这个消息,突然她脸色阴沉了下来.

I was just on the point of leaving when she came in .
我正要走,她却突然走了进来.

答案:B 我正要给他打电话,不料他的信来了.

2. had hardly (或scarcely,barely,just) done 要与 when 连用,都表示刚...就的意思.前半句一般用过去完成式;而when或then后面要接过去式.
The performance had scarcely begun when (或before) the light went out .
演出一开始灯就灭了.

他刚刚到达电话就响了.
