从以上四级真题我们可以看到对让步状语从句的考查特点：一是让步状语从句与其它状语从句的对比，如③，另一种是让步状语从句连词自身的结构功能，如①②两题。下面我们就一起来看让步状语从句的连词功能：
1) although/though连接让步状语从句，表?quot.尽管"，从句用直陈语序，与汉语的结构类似。

2) as引导的让步状语从句要求用倒装结构，如②题。可提至句首的有名词、原形动词、副词、形容词等。可数名词单数形式不用冠词。如：
Child as he is, he behaves like a grown-up.
Fail as he did, he was not disappointed at all.
Much as I tried, I failed to persuade him.

3) No matter 疑问词和疑问词 ever引导让步状语从句，表示"不论谁""不论什么时间/地点/方式"等等，从句用直陈语序。由此可以判断上面①题答案为A。

4) For all表示让步时后面可以接从句，也可以接名词短语，后接名词时常与其它类似短语比较，如④。注意接从句：
For all that he has a masters degree, I dont think he can outdo me in many aspects.

5) 其它用来引导让步状语从句的还有whether …or， even if， even though，和"动词 疑问词 主语 情态动词"，如：
Say what you will, he will turn a deaf year.So its better to keep silent.
Doubt whom you may, you shouldnt doubt me.

5．方式状语从句的连词
相比之下，方式状语从句则简单了许多，四级考试中还从未涉及此项。用来表示方式的主要是as 和as if/though。如：
I have made the change as you suggested.
I remember the whole thing as if it happened only yesterday.

6．结果状语从句的连词
尽管这几年，四级考试中并没有考题涉及结果状语，同学们还是应该了解以下结果状语从句的一些用法。首先让我们先来熟悉一下结果状语从句所在句式：
1) so … that…/ such ….that
该句式中重要考查的是so和such的区别。应注意以下可能出现的结构：
so nice a boy that…
such a nice boy that…
so beautiful/diligent/carefully … that…
such (fine weather/great improvement) that…
