高考临近，小编为大家准备了些高考词汇及其用法和搭配，希望大家能从中获益！
1. 用作连词，表示“虽然”，两者大致同义，可换用，只是 although 比 though 更为正式。如：
Though [Although] they’re expensive, people buy them. 虽然它们很昂贵，人们还是买。
2. although 一般不用作副词，而 though 可用作副词，表示“可是”“不过”。如：
I expect you’re right—I’ll ask him, though. 我认为你说得对——我去问问他也好。
She promised to phone. I heard nothing, though. 她答应要打电话来. 可我没听到回信儿。
这样用的though通常位于句末，但有时位于句首的though也有这样的意思。如：
他说他要付钱，然而我认为他不会付的。
正：He says he’ll pay, though I don’t think he will.
正：He says he’ll pay; I don’t think he will, though.
3. 在 as though(好像，仿佛)，even though(即使，纵然)等固定短语中，不能用 although代替though。如：
She treats me as though I were a stranger. 她待我仿佛我是一个陌生人。
He’s the best teacher even though he has the least experience. 他尽管经验最少，但教得最好。
4. 两者均可用于省略句，通常见于主句与从句主语相同，且从句谓语含有动词be的情形。如：
Although [Though] (it was) built before the war, the engine is still in perfect order. 尽管是战前制造的，这台发动机仍然处于良好状态。
Although [Though] (he is) still young he is going very grey. 尽管他还年轻他的头发却已变得灰白。
Although [Though] (she was) in pain, she bravely blinked back her tears. 她虽然很疼痛，但还是硬把眼泪抑制住了。
5. 当though用于倒装形式，它不能换成although，但可换成as。
Successful though [as] he is, he is not proud. 他虽然成功，但不骄傲。
Much though [as] I like you, I couldn’t live with you. 我尽管很喜欢你, 却不能和你在一起生活。
Try though [as] I would, I could not make her change her mind. 不管我多努力，也不能让她改变主意。
Surrounded though [as] we were by the enemy, we managed to march forward. 虽然我们被敌人包围着，但我们还是设法前进了。
Raining hard though [as] it is, I’m going out for a walk. 虽然正在下着大雨，我还是要出去散步。
注意，若倒装后置于句首的是名词时，其前习惯上不用冠词或其他限定词。如：
Expert though [as] he was, he failed. 他虽是专家，但还是失败了。
Big puzzle though [as] it was, it hadn’t got the better of Jim. 虽然是个大难题，但仍没有难倒吉姆。
6. 不要按汉语“虽然……但是……”的表达习惯，在 although 后连用 but。如：
虽然他只是个业余爱好者，但却是一流的高手。
误：Although he’s only an amateur, but he’s a first-class player.
正：Although he’s only an amateur, he’s a first-class player.
但是在强调时，although 可与 yet, still 等副词连用。如：
Though he seems happy, yet he is worried. 虽然他看起来很幸福，但他实际上很烦恼。
值得一提的是，在某些特定的语境中，although 与 but 连用的句子是可能的(注：but 引出的句子在 although 从句之前)。如：
But I didn’t know that then, although I learned it later. 但我当时的确不知道此事，尽管后来还是知道了。
He wanted to go abroad, but although he had some money he couldn’t afford it. 他想，尽管他有些钱，但还是负担不起。
