重点讲解as的用法。
as的用法随着位置的不同而不同：
1.放在句首有两种情况：
①as/as for+n.相当于原因；
②as+adj.+as可能是固定搭配；可能表示转折。
例：As poor as she is, she is honest.第一个as可以省略。
2.放在句中as+adj.+as有两种不同，第二个as后面是短语还是句子。
如果后面接一个短语，例如He is as tall as his father. 表示两者
特点一致。如果后面是句子，例如
He is as smart as he is handsome. 表示程度的一致性。
不能根据句子后面的handsome解题。
做题遇到这种情况，线索一定来自前面。
