2.让步状语从句的常考知识点
    (1)as 引导让步从句，要求用倒装结构，把强调的部分置于句首。如：
    Much as he likes her, he does get irritated with her sometimes.
    Tired as he was, we decided to disturb him.
    Humble as it may be, there is no place like home.
    (2)while引导让步从句。如:
    Everybody cheats a little, some psychologists say, while others insist that most people are basically honest and some wouldn’t cheat under any circumstances.
    While it’s true that we all need a career, preferably a profitable one, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge—be it scientific or artistic.
    (3)复合连接词for all that和分词granting/granted(that)引导让步从句。如:
    Granted you have made much progress, you should not be conceited.
    For all that computers can provide us with great help, they shouldn’t be seen as substitutes for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
