as soon as的用法
as soon as一……就……，强调两个动作几乎是连在一起的，后接从句。当主句是一般将来时，as soon as引导的状语从句应用一般现在时代替将来时。指紧接着发生的两个短动作，主句用一般过去时，从句也用一般过去时。有时，为了特意表达刚刚完成某事就如何，需要用现在完成时。
The students became quiet as soon as the teacher came in. 老师一进来，学生们就安静下来了。
I will tell him the news as soon as he comes back. 他一回来，我就告诉他这个消息。
I’ll return the book as soon as I have finished reading it. 我一读完就把书还回去。
He will come and see you as soon as he can. 他一有空就来看你。
The stars came out as soon as it was dark. 天一黑，星星就出来了。学@科网
注意：
as soon as 引导的时间状语从句在过去时态中主从句时态保持一致；若主句用一般将来时态，则从句用一般现在时态。

unless的用法
unless意为＂除非，如果不＂，引导条件状语从句。unless引导的条件状语从句，若主句、从句的动作均未发生，则主句用一般将来时、祈使句或含有情态动词的句子，从句用一般现在时代替一般将来时。

A fisherman lived with his wife in an old shack (棚屋) by the sea. Each day he caught a fish, and cooked it for his wife. One day he caught a talking fish. The fish asked the fisherman to let him live, and the fisherman agreed. For the rest of the day, he caught nothing else.
When the fisherman got home empty-handed, his wife asked what happened. He told her about the magic fish. “ What did you get in return (作为回报)?” his wife asked. “Nothing,” said the fisherman, which made his wife very angry. “It’s a magical fish, so ask it to grant (准予) your wish. I hate my shack. Ask the fish for a nice house,” she said. The man didn’t want to trouble the fish but he didn’t want his wife to get angry either. He did not know if he should listen to his heart or his wife.
The next day the fisherman went to the sea and told the fish about his wife’s wish. When he got home, his wife was standing in front of a beautiful house.
For a week, she was happy but then she started to complain (抱怨). “Go back and ask for a castle (城堡),” she said. “If you don’t, I’ll be unhappy forever.” The fisherman didn’t want a bigger house but he didn’t want his wife to be unhappy. Again, he did not know if he should listen to his heart or his wife. However, the next day, he returned to the sea and spoke to the fish again. When he got home, his wife was standing in front of a large castle.
Life was good for a few days but early one morning, the fisherman’s wife said, “I want to be queen of the land.” The fisherman couldn’t believe it. “I won’t go,” he told her. “Then, I will never speak to you again,” she said.
After a troubled night’s sleep, the fisherman went back to the fish and in a nervous voice told him the new wish. The fish told the man to return to his wife and said she would be queen of her land.
When he got home, his wife was crying and standing in front of their old shack.

32．根据“One day he caught a talking fish. The fish asked the fisherman to let him live, and the fisherman agreed”以及为了满足妻子的愿望，不让她生气，三次去找魔法鱼可知，渔夫是善良的好人。故填kind/nice/good kind-hearted（答案不唯一）。

【分析】本文讲的是一位智者和一群小孩的故事，小孩为了考验智者，出了一个难题，让智者回答，没想到的是，这个问题难题并没有难倒她。
33．句意：甚至最难的问题，这位老妇人都能回答。根据前文“ the most difficult questions”可知，老妇人能够回答最难的问题，结合空前面的was和后面的to可推测，用短语be able to do sth.能够做某事。故填able。
34．句意：对她来说，回答孩子们各种奇怪的问题很容易。固定句型It is+形容词+for sb.+to do sth.表示“做某事对某人来说怎么样”，it为形式主语，不定式to do作真正的主语。故填to answer。
35．句意：一天，他捉住了一只小鸟，用双手捂着它。空处为宾语, 且被不定冠词a修饰, 故应填名词单数；根据下文 “Of course, she’ll answer that I have a bird.”可知，小男孩捉住了一只鸟。故填bird。
36．句意：我要问她，我手里捂着什么东西。空处为主句的谓语动词，根据下文“Then I will ask her... ”可知，小男孩将要去问，因此用一般将来时。故填will ask。
37．句意：然后我要问她，这只鸟是活的，还是死的。空处和前面的living是由or连接的并列成分，作表语，故填形容词。根据下文“ If she says the bird is dead”可知，填living的反义词，dead死了的。故填dead。
38．句意：不管她怎样回答，都是错的。空处为表语，填形容词或名词。根据上文“ If she says the bird is dead, I’ll open my hands and let the bird fly away. If she says the bird is alive, I’ll quickly crush it and show her the dead bird. ”可知，无论老人回答这只鸟是活的还是死的，都不对。故填wrong。
39．句意：所有孩子喜欢这个好主意。enjoy doing sth.表示 “喜欢做某事”。故填having。
40．句意：老奶奶, 你是如此聪明, 以至于我们都相信你，现在我们有一个问题让你回答。根据“ that we all believe you”可知，用so...that...句型，表示“如此……以至于……”。故填so。
41．句意：“哦，那一定是只鸟，”老妇人回答。空处为谓语，动作发生在过去, 故用一般过去时。故填replied。
42．句意：我已经告诉你正确答案了。空处为谓语，根据句中的 “already”可知，用现在完成时have/has+过去分词，主语是第一人称，助动词用have。故填have told。
