9、ries. (2012山东)A. them B. that C. which D. what解析：C。both of which引导定语从句，which指代two novels。 【考例2】 In our class there are 46 students, _ half wear glasses.

12、shown in the report正如报告中所显示的那样。考点四、where, when引导的定语从句(一) 近年高考试题中对于where的考查趋于复杂化，除了表地点用where外，当先行词是case, point, position, stage, situation, business, activity等表示某人/物的情况、某事发展的阶段、某事的某个方面等“抽象地点”名词，且定语从句中缺少状语时，引导词常用where。【考例】 Sales director is a position _communication ability is just as important as sal
13、es skills. (2012重庆)A. which B. that C. when D. where解析：D。position意为“职位”，表示抽象地点。 (二) when引导定语从句时，先行词是表示时间的词(有时为抽象名词，如occasion, stay等)。【考例】 Between the two parts of the concert is an interval, _ the audience can buy ice-cream. (2011江苏)A. when B. where C. that D. which解析：A。when在此表示前面所提到的“休息时间”。(三) when

15、on system has witnessed great changes. (2007山东)A. when B. during which C. since then D. since when解析：D。从句中使用了现在完成时，因此应选since when，意为“自以后”。考点五、分隔定语从句 定语从句和先行词常常被其它成分分隔，干扰了句子结构的判断，从而给辨别从句带来一定的难度。【考例】 Ellen was a painter of birds and of nature, _, for some reason, had withdrawn from all human society.
16、(2012浙江)A. which B. who C. where D. whom解析：B。定语从句缺少主语，who引导的定语从句修饰a painter，并在从句中作主语。考点六、定语从句关系代词的省略【考例】The house I grew up _ has been taken down and replaced by an office building. (2009江西) A. in it B. in C. in that D. in which 解析：B。题干中The house后省略了在从句中作介词宾语的关系代词that或which(作in的宾语)。 考点七、定语从句与强调句的辨析【

31、为陈述句，This is the website _we visited, 通过分析我们发现句子缺少关系代词，而且该关系代词应作visit的宾语，所以使用that/which，也可省略，故D为正确答案。 2. A。先行词为students, 定语从句中relatives缺少定语，故应选A。 3. C。定语从句的先行词为three weeks，during which time引导非限制性定语从句，意为“在那段时间内”。 4. D。句意：他学习努力后来成为一位著名的作家，这是他父亲所期盼的。which引导非限定性定语从句，指代前面整句话内容；在后面的定语从句中又含有一表语从句，连接代词what在
32、从句中作expected的宾语。 5. D。句意：如今，很多人往往吃得多但很少锻炼，结果他们很容易就生病。as a result of which引导定语从句，表示结果。 6. A。考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，在此从句中，which指代前面所介绍的内容（在北京学习技术）。after which表示“然后”。 7. C。in which case引导定语从句，意为“如果是那样的话”。句意：他可能得住院，如果是那样的话，他就不去度假了。 8. A。先行词为all，所以只能使用关系代词that引导定语从句。 9. C。主句中有who时，用that引导定语从句。10. B。由于先行词为the
33、 foreign guests，指代人，所以应使用most of whom 结构引导非限定性定语从句。most为表示部分的代词。11. B。空格处应使用“介词+which”结构引导定语从句，该句含有 sb work hard for sth结构。12. C。especially意为“尤其，格外”，对前面的句子起补充说明的作用。句意：我们都很想读这些推荐的小说，尤其是你刚才谈到的那个。空格处缺少先行词，而非关系代词。关系代词在从句中作宾语，可以省略。13. C。在此句中“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句，先行词为play，介词的选择与play搭配，因此选C。14. A。本句中先行词为the old
34、days，后面应使用关系副词when引导定语从句，when在句子中作时间状语。15. A。此句为并列句，由连词and连接两个分句，第二个分句应使用them作介词宾语。16. B。place为先行词，表地点，故使用where或介词+which引导定语从句；第二空为表语从句，由where引导，表示地点。 17. C。句意：我们希望政府采取的控制高房价的措施会生效。在这个非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，故用which引导。18. D。句中代词one作habit的同位语， you should get rid of definitely为定语从句，修饰one。19. A。定语从句缺少主语，因此A项正确。w
35、hich指代16:30。不能因为先行词为表时间的词就选择when。句意：16:30分之前，差不多是关门的时间，几乎所有的绘画都卖出去了。 20. B。who引导定语从句，修饰people并在从句中作主语。 21. D。当定语从句的先行词为occasion（某个时刻），stay（逗留的一段时间）等时，用when引导定语从句，when在从句中作状语。22. B。句中whose为关系代词，引导定语从句，并在从句中作定语，修饰houses。句中有两个定语从句，共同修饰先行词People。句意：那些在地震中受伤或是失去房屋的人急需得到帮助。 23. B。we do引导定语从句，修饰the way，动词d
36、o代指understand body language。the way表示方式，在定语从句中作状语时，后面常用的引导词形式为that / in which，也可省略。24. B。考查定语从句与强调句的辨析。此句为强调句型，from some the market为被强调的部分。注意不要误以为market为表地点的名词而以为是考查定语从句，误选where。25. C。考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句。argue about sth为而争吵。句中将介词about前置。26. A。which引导定语从句，which指代前面句子中介绍的内容（朋友带我在城市中游玩）。在定语从句中which作主语。在it is kind of sb to do sth结构中，to do sth为真正的主语，it为形式主语。27. B。句中which引导非限定性定语从句，which指代前面的句子介绍的情况。28. C。本句中先行词为doctor, 后面的定语从句缺少宾语，所以关系代词whom可以省略。词组talk to sb意为“和某人说话”，介词to不能省略。29. A。考查定语从句。by which time引导非限制性定语从句，相当于and by that time。30. B。考查冠词及定语从句。a time“一段时间”，when引导定语从句。句意：有一段时间这种款式的服装很受女孩子欢迎。
