2005年全国高考题(山东卷)出现了一道关于though的单选题：
21. －--Have you been to New Zealand?
－--No. I’d like to， ____.
A. too B. though
C. yet D. either
这道题旨在考察though用作副词时多放在句末，意为“然而” “但是”，相当于But I’d like to，所以正确答案为B。
例 He said he would come to the party，he didn’t， though.(=but he didn’t.)他说他会来参加晚会的，然而没来。
在英语中，though除了用作上述用法之外，还多用作连词，引导让步状语从句，此时它与although，as的用法有类似之处，需要考生特别留意予以把握。
一、 though与although引导让步状语从句的比较
1. though与although同义，一般情况下可互相换用，但although较though更正式，多用于书面语，且多放于句首。在although或though引导的让步状语从句中，主句不能用but，但可使用yet，still或nevertheless。
例 Although / Though he is in poor health，(yet) he works very hard. 尽管他身体不好，但是他工作很努力。
2. Though可用在倒装句中，但although不能。
例 Although/Though he is clever, he doesn’t study well.
Clever though he is, he doesn’t study well. 尽管他很聪明，但是他学习却不好。
二、 though与as引导倒装句的比较
１. as引导倒装句时， 如果表语是不带定语的单数可数名词或是形容词的最高级，前边的冠词a，an或the要省去。
例Child as he is，he knows quite a lot of the history of China. 尽管他是个孩子，但很了解中国的历史。
Youngest as she is，she helps her parents a lot. 尽管她很小，但能帮父母很多忙。
２.被倒装的动词原形常与may，might，will，would等词连用,这些词要保留在原来的位置上。此外，这个倒装在句首的动词原形不能是连系动词（若是连系动词，倒装的部分是表语），一般多为不及物动词。
例 Try as you may，you won’t manage it. 你即使再努力，也不会成功的。
Look as I would up and down，I could see no human being. 我到处看看，也看不见一个人。
注：上述句中的as都可用though代替（有时也可用that代替），原意不变，但不可用although代替。
另外，从句中除了表语提前外，如果从句中主语是名词，主谓也要倒装；如果主语是代词，不用倒装。
例 Terrible as was the storm，we continued our way. 尽管暴风雪很可怕，我们仍然继续赶路。
Poor as he was, he was honest. 尽管他很穷，但他诚实。
三、 though除了用于上述用法之外，还可用于下列固定句型：
1. “what though…?”意为“即使……那又怎样?”
例 What though I fail？即使我失败了那又怎样？
2. as though=as if 好像
例He treasts his elder sister as though she was a stranger. 他待他姐姐好像陌生人。
3. even though=even if即使
例 He will come on time even though it rains. 即使下雨，他还是会准时来的。
