请看下面一道高考题：
________ I really don’t like art, I find his work impressive.(07 山东卷)
A. As B. Since C. IfD. While
分析：答案是D。此题考查关联词的用法。前一分句意为：“我真的不喜欢艺术”，后一分句意为：“我发现他的创作给人留下很深的印象”，这两个分句之间的关系很自然不是因果关系，也不是条件和结果的关系，故可排除A、 B和C。此时的while意为“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句，相当于 although。
while一词在英语中被广泛运用，也是全国各地高考命题的热点词之一，因此掌握该词的用法很重要。下面结合历届高考题将while一词的种种用法归纳总结如下，希望对同学们的学习有所帮助。
