特地查了一下朗文，发现他的举例告诉我们although不一定用在句首，不过ETS是何态度，还需要多方查证，一起探讨哈

Although朗文解释：
1        used to introduce a statement that makes your main statement seem surprising or unlikely [= though]:
Although in poor health, she continued to carry out her duties.
       
We decided to take rooms in Longwood House, although we knew we could not really afford the rent.

2        used to add a statement that balances or reduces the effect of what you have just said [= but]:
You can copy down my answers, although I'm not sure they're right.

Whereas比较或对比两个事实
Whereas the population of working age increased by 1 million between 1981 and 1986, today it is barely growing. 1981年到1986年间适龄工作人口增长了100万，而现如今该人口数却几乎没有增长。

While对比两件事物
While Tom's very good at science, his brother is absolutely hopeless.   汤姆很擅长理科，而他的兄弟绝对是不可救药。
