1、专题8定语从句1The president of the World Bank says he has a passion for China,_he remembers starting as early as his childhood.(2013江苏,32)Awhere Bwhich Cwhat Dwhen答案B解析句意为:世界银行行长说,他热爱中国,这种热爱他记得早在他的童年时期就开始了。which指代“热爱中国”。2When I arrived,Bryan took me to see the house _ I would be staying.(2013大纲全国,24)Awhat
2、 BwhenCwhere Dwhich答案C解析句意为:我到达后,布赖恩带我去看了我要住的房子。分析题意可知后句为限制性定语从句,关系词代替先行词house在定语从句中作地点状语,因此应选择关系副词where。3Many countries are now setting up national parks_animals and plants can be protected.(2013北京,27)Awhen BwhichCwhose Dwhere答案D解析考查定语从句。句意为:眼下,很多国家正在建立一些国家公园,动物和植物在那儿可以得到保护。先行词为national parks,且定语从句
3、中缺少地点状语,故用where引导,相当于in which。4He may win the competition,_he is likely to get into the national team.(2013辽宁,34)Ain which case Bin that caseCin what case Din whose case答案A解析考查非限制性定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,用which引导,in which case意为“在这种情况下”。5Happiness and success often come to those_are good at recognizing the
4、ir own strengths.(2013湖南,21)Awhom BwhoCwhat Dwhich答案B解析考查定语从句的用法。句意为:快乐和成功总是会眷顾那些善于认清自己的优点和特长的人。分析句子成分后可知,“_are good at recognizing their own strengths”是定语从句修饰先行词those,从句中缺少主语,所以用who引导。故答案选B。 6“You cant judge a book by its cover,”_(2013新课标全国,33)Aas the saying goes oldBgoes as the old sayingCas the o
5、ld saying goesDgoes as old the saying答案C解析考查非限制性定语从句的语序。句意为:常言道,人不可貌相。as引导非限制性定语从句,表示“正如”,不用倒装。7The museum will open in the spring with an exhibition and a viewing platform _ visitors can watch the big glasshouses being built.(2013浙江,13)Awhat BwhereCwhen Dwhy答案B解析考查定语从句。 本句主干是说“博物馆明春开放”,后面with复合结构作状
6、语,补充信息“到时有一个展览,还有一个游客们可以观看正在建设的巨大暖房的观景台”。a viewing platform观景台,在后面的定语从句中作地点状语,应当由关系副词where引导。故正确答案为B项。8Finally he reached a lonely island_was completely cut off from the outside world.(2013山东,35)Awhen BwhereCwhich Dwhom答案C解析考查定语从句。根据句子结构分析,后面为定语从句,从句中缺少主语,所以答案只能选C项。9The book tells stories of the ear
7、thquake through the eyes of those _ lives were affected.(2013福建,27)Awhose BthatCwho Dwhich答案A解析句意为:这本书透过生活受到地震影响的人们的视角讲述地震的故事。本题的先行词是those表示人,定语从句的主语是lives,与先行词构成所属关系,所以应使用关系代词whose引导。10Maria has written two novels,both of _ have been made into television series.(2012山东,23)Athem BthatCwhich Dwhat答案C
8、解析句意为:玛丽娅已写了两部小说,它们都已被拍成了电视剧。分析题干结构可以看出:Maria has written two novels是一个完整的含“主谓宾”的句子。如果后半句也是个完整的句子的话,那么题干中的两个分句中间缺少连接词and,故A项不正确。由此不难看出空格处应用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,which代替先行词two novels。that作关系代词不能放于介词之后;what不能引导定语从句。分清句子结构是解答本题的关键。11After the flooding,people were suffering in that area,_urgently needed c
9、lean water,medicine and shelter to survive.(2012江苏,22)Awhich BwhoCwhere Dwhat答案B解析指人的先行词people在非限制性定语从句中充当主语,所以用关系代词who引导。故选B项。12A lot of language learning,_has been discovered,is happening in the first year of life,so parents should talk much to their children during that period.(2012安徽,29)Aas BitC
10、which Dthis答案A解析句意为:正如被发现的那样,大量的语言学习是在人生的第一年发生的,所以父母应当在那个时期和孩子多说话。空白处所在句为非限制性定语从句,故B、D两项可排除。由句意知空格处的关系词指代a lot of language learning is happening in the first year of life这个句子。指代某个句子时,as引导的非限制性定语从句可后指或前指,而which引导的从句只能前指。此处为后指,因此A项正确。13We live in an age_more information is available with greater ease
11、than ever before.(2012浙江,9)Awhy BwhenCto whom Don which答案B解析when引导定语从句,在从句中作时间状语,修饰先行词an age(时代)。14The air quality in the city,_ is shown in the report,has improved over the past two months.(2012福建,23)Athat BitCas Dwhat答案C解析句意为:正如报告中所显示的,这个城市的空气质量在过去的两个月已经得到了改善。分析句子结构可知,两个逗号之间的部分为非限制性定语从句;that不能用于引导
12、非限制性定语从句;it和what不能作定语从句的引导词。故选C项。15I wish to thank Professor Smith,without_help I would never have got this far.(2012天津,7)Awho Bwhose Cwhom Dwhich答案B解析句意为:我想要感谢史密斯教授,没有他的帮助我就不会走得这么远。whose是关系代词,引导定语从句,表示“的”。考生容易误选C项,因为只看到了without whom语意上相当于without Professor Smith,而忽略了题干中的help。若选C项的话,可去掉题干中的help。16It
13、is the third time that she has won the race,_ has surprised us all.(2012陕西,14)Athat BwhereCwhich Dwhat答案C解析考查定语从句。所填词前有逗号,是非限制性定语从句,先行词是整个主句,关系词在从句中作主语,故选C。其余选项与题干不符。17Care of the soul is a gradual process _ even the small details of life should be considered.(2012湖南,34)Awhat Bin whatCwhich Din whic
14、h答案D解析句意为:心灵的护理是一个渐进的过程,在这个过程中,甚至生活中那些微小的细节都应该加以考虑。in which引导限制性定语从句,which代指前面的process。18When deeply absorbed in work,_he often was,he would forget all about eating or sleeping.(2012北京,26)Athat BwhichCwhere Dwhen答案B解析句意为:当他全身心地投入工作中时,他就会废寝忘食,而他经常这样(全身心地投入工作)。由引导词前面的逗号可知,这是一个非限制性定语从句,所以首先排除that。由定语从句
15、的was可知,定语从句缺少表语,所以排除在定语从句中作状语的where和when。故选B项。19By 1630,_was almost closing time,nearly all the paintings had been sold.(2012江西,28)Awhich Bwhen Cwhat Dthat答案A解析从后面的closing time“打烊时间,停止营业时间”可以得知此句是在谈时间,但是此句中缺少主语,前面又有一个逗号,所以可以确定这里是一个非限制性定语从句,用which引导。20That evening,_I will tell you more about later,I
16、ended up working very late.(2012大纲全国,8)Athat BwhichCwhat Dwhen答案B解析句意为:那天晚上我一直工作到很晚,我过后会告诉你关于那晚更详细的情况。本题中两个逗号之间的部分是一个非限制性定语从句,关系代词which代替先行词that evening。解答本题的关键是能够正确分析句子结构。that不能引导非限制性定语从句;what不能引导定语从句;when在从句中作状语,不能作宾语。1The film brought the hours back to me _ I was taken good care of in that farawa
17、y village.Auntil BthatCwhen Dwhere答案C解析本题考查分隔定语从句的关系词的选择。做好本题的关键是要能辨认出该定语从句的先行词the hours和关系词被介词短语back to me所分隔。定语从句的先行词是表时间的名词hours,并且关系词在从句中用作状语,故应选择表示时间的关系副词when。2Is there anyone in your class _ family is in the country?Awho BwhosCwhich Dwhose答案D解析whose引导定语从句,在从句中作主语family的定语。3Im interested in _ y
18、ou have said.Aall that Ball whatCthat Dwhich答案A解析that引导定语从句,因为先行词是all,所以只能选用that引导。4I was given three books on cooking,the first _ I really enjoyed.Aof that Bof whichCthat Dwhich答案B解析从句还原成完整句子应该是“I really enjoyed the first of those.”故选of which。5So you have met Maria?Yes,it was last week _ we attende
19、d Jacks party.Athat BthereCwhich Dwhen答案D解析这是一个省略句,完整形式是:It was last week when we attended Jacks party that I met Maria.句子的主体部分是一个强调句型,被强调部分last week后跟一个定语从句。last week是先行词,从句中缺少时间状语,用when来引导。6_ is known to everybody,the moon travels around the earth once every month.AIt BAsCThat DWhat答案B解析本题考查as引导的非
20、限制性定语从句。as作“正如”解时,引导的非限制性定语从句来修饰整个句子,可前指或后指,此处为后指。当as在从句中作主语时,常用于下列短语:as is known,as is said,as is reported,as is announced等。7After living in Pairs for fifty years he returned to the small town _ he grew up as a child.Awhich BwhereCthat Dwhen答案B解析本题考查限制性定语从句中关系词的选择。定语从句的先行词是表示地点的名词短语the small town,且
21、关系词不作定语从句中的主语和宾语而作地点状语,因此定语从句必须用关系副词where引导。要注意分清先行词在从句中充当的成分,然后选择适当的关系词。8I want to use the same dictionary _ was used yesterday.Awhich BwhoCwhat Das答案D解析当先行词前有as,so,such,the same等修饰时,在从句中作主语或宾语的关系代词用as。在本句话中,as作从句的主语。9Jim passed the driving test,_ surprised everybody in the office.Awhich BthatCthis
22、 Dit答案A解析分析句子结构可知,此处是一个非限制性定语从句,故排除B、C、D三项。which指代“Jim passed the driving test”这件事,在从句中作主语。10The students _ are expected to pass.Awere taught by Professor DeaconBwhom were taught by Professor DeaconCwhen were taught by Professor DeaconDProfessor Deacon taught答案D解析Deacon教授的学生,关系代词在从句中作宾语。B选项中关系代词作主语应
23、用who。11So far all cloned animals have suffered from some different serious disorders,_ dying soon after birth.Amany of which Bmany of whomCmany of them Dmany of that答案C解析由后面的dying可知这里不是完整的句子(没有谓语动词),故不能选A或B构成定语从句,此处考查独立主格结构。12Lets talk about the persons and the things _ we can remember.Awhich BwhomC
24、that Dwhat答案C解析先行词既有人也有物时,用that引导从句,故选择C项。句意为:让我们谈论能够想起的人和事吧。13Her sister has become a lawyer,_ she wanted to be.Awho BthatCwhat Dwhich答案D解析句中先行词a lawyer在此指一个人的职业,并非指“人”本身,故关系词用which,而不用who。14At 13,Samuel received a training course in drawing for three years,_ he got a good opportunity for further d
25、evelopment.Aafter that Bafter whichCafter it Dafter this答案B解析after which意为“after he received a training course in drawing for three years”。句中没有并列连词,故不能选C、D两项;that不能引导非限制性定语从句,故A错。15Ill never forget the most wonderful holiday _ we stayed in the country with my grandparents.Awhen BwhichCwhere Dthat答案A
26、解析先行词为holiday,还原之后可看出when在定语从句中作时间状语。16This photo of mine was taken_stood the famous high tower.Awhich Bin whichCwhere Dthere答案C解析where引导的从句在句中作地点状语,并且where在状语从句的句首引起倒装。17I have reached a point in my life _ I am supposed to make decisions of my own.Awhich BwhereChow Dwhy答案B解析先行词为point,从句中不缺少任何主要成分,此
27、时用where引导定语从句。18_ was expected,only five people turned up at the party,_ disappointed the hostess very much.AAs;which BAs;thatCIt;that DIt;which答案A解析在非限制性定语从句中,当从句置于句首时,或从句意为“正如”时,只能用as而不能用which来引导从句。C项和D项中第一空若要用it,则应把前半句改为“It was expected that only five people turned up at the party”此时it作形式主语。第二空是w
28、hich引导的非限制性定语从句,且在从句中作主语。19Darwin counted 225 flowering plants,_he collected and brought home 193.Athat Bin thatCof which Dall of which答案C解析考查“介词关系代词”引导的定语从句,正常语序为“193 of which he collected and brought home”。20The settlement is home to nearly 1,000 people,many of _ left their village homes for a bet
29、ter life in the city.Awhom BwhichCthem Dthose答案A解析由many之前的逗号和选项特征可知,此处是主从句关系,排除C、D两项。由于先行词是1,000 people,表示人,故用whom。句意为:这个定居点居住着将近1 000人,他们中的许多人都背井离乡来到城市追求更好的生活。21Today,well discuss a number of cases _ beginners of learning English fail to use the language properly.Awhich BasCwhy Dwhere答案D解析此句中cases表
30、示“情况”,这里where相当于in which,在从句中作状语。当先行词为case,stage,point等,且从句中不缺主要成分时,常用where引导定语从句,在句中作状语。22_ I explained on the phone,your request will be considered at the next meeting.AWhen BAfterCAs DWhich答案C解析as引导非限制性定语从句,可以放在主句之前,指代后面整个主句的内容。which引导的非限制性定语从句不能放在句首。23The road conditions there turned out to be v
