定语从句
1 【2014·安徽卷】 The exact year________Anglela and her family spent together in China was 2008.
A.when B.where C.why D.which
【答案】D 考查定语从句的关系词。本题先行词为year,在定语从句中作及物动词spent的宾语,因此选用关系代词which。
2【2014·北京卷】 I borrowed the book Sherlock Holmes from the library last week,________my classmates recommended to me.
A.who B.which C.when D.where
【答案】B 考查定语从句。根据题干信息,定语从句的先行词为book,定语从句中缺乏宾语,加之逗号后为非限制性定语从句,所以本题选B。
3【2014·福建卷】 Students should involve themselves in community activities ________ they can gain experience for growth.
A.who B.when C.which D.where
【答案】D 考查定语从句。句意:学生应该使他们自己参与到团体活动中来,在这些活动中他们可以获得成长经验。根据句意可知,所填词引导定语从句,先行词是activities,并且从句中的主谓宾成分是齐全的,且不需要表示时间,故选择D项。
4【2014·湖南卷】 I am looking forward to the day ________ my daughter can read this book and know my feelings for her.
A. as B. why C. when D. where
【答案】C 考查定语从句。句意:我一直期待着我的女儿能读懂这本书,能明白我对她的感情的那一天。关系副词when引导定语从句,修饰先行词day,在从句中作时间状语。
5【2014·江苏卷】 The book has helped me greatly in my daily communication, especially at work ________ a good impression is a must.
A.which B.when C.as D.where
【答案】D 考查定语从句。句意:这本书在我的日常交流方面给予了我很大帮助,尤其是在必须给别人留下一个好印象的工作中。分析句子结构可知,先行词为抽象名词work,定语从句中缺少地点状语,故用where引导。
6【2014·江西卷】 Among the many dangers ________ sailors have to face, probably
14
the greatest of all is fog.
A. which B. what C. where D. when
【答案】A 考查定语从句。句意:在水手们必须面对的许多危险中,也许最大的是雾。此题易误选C项,原因是没有分析清楚从句的句子成分。which在此引导定语从句,修饰先行词dangers,同时在从句中作face的宾语。
7【2014·山东卷】 A company ________profits from home markets are declining may seek opportunities abroad.
A.which B.whose C.who D.why
【答案】B 考查定语从句。句意:一个来自国内市场的利润在下降的公司可能会寻找国外机会。a company是先行词,其后是定语从句,定语从句的主语是profits,缺少定语,故选B。
8【2014·陕西卷】 Please send us all the information ________ you have about the candidate for the position.
A. that B. which C. as D. what
【答案】A 考查定语从句。先行词是information,指物,关系词在从句中作及物动词have的宾语,且先行词用不定代词all修饰,关系词只能用that,故选A。
9【2014·四川卷】 Until now, we have raised 50,000 pounds for the poor children, ________ is quite unexpected.
A.that B.which C.who D.it
【答案】B 考查定语从句。此处which指代整个主句内容引导非限制性定语从句,which在定语从句中作主语。句意:到现在为止,我们已经为那些贫穷的孩子们筹集到了50 000英镑,这是完全没有预料到的。
10【2014·天津卷】 English is a language shared by several diverse cultures, ________ uses it differently.
A. all of which B. each of which C. all of them D. each of them
【答案】 B 考查定语从句和主谓一致。句意:英语是一种被好几种不同文化共同使用的语言,每一种文化使用它时都是不同的。首先A 项和C项中的all暗示空格后用use,故排除A、C;根据空格后的uses使用的是一般现在时,可知空格处需用单数名词或代词,可选B、D;再根据uses是谓语动词,可知空格处是主语,只有each of which能作主语,并构成了定语从句。
14
11【2014·浙江卷】 I didn't become a serious climber until the fifth grade,________ I went up to rescue a kite that was stuck in the branches of a tree.
A.when B.where C.which D.why
【答案】A 考查定语从句。句意:我直到五年级才成为一个真正的攀登者,那一年我爬上了树枝去够一只被卡的风筝。该句中的先行词是the fifth grade,此处先行词在定语从句中作时间状语,应该用关系副词when。故选A 项。定语从句的关键是:在主句中找出先行词,然后把先行词“代入”从句中,判断其在从句中的“地位”和“作用”。如果作主语和宾语,用关系代词who, whom, that和which;如果作状语,则用when, where, why等。
12 【2014·重庆卷】 We'll reach the sales targets in a month ________ we set at the beginning of the year.
A. which B. where C. when D. what
【答案】A 考查定语从句的用法。此处先行词targets被in a month所扰,考生容易错把month当成先行词而误选C。targets在定语从句中作set的宾语,所以关系词应用which或that。故选A。
关系代词的用法
1.【2013·湖南】Happiness and success often come to those________are good at recognizing their own strengths.
A.whom B.who C.what D.which
【解析】 句意为:幸福和成功经常青睐那些善于意识到自己长处的人。本题考查定语从句。先行词为those,将先行词代入定语从句后为:Those are good at recognizing their own strengths.由此可见,先行词在定语从句中作主语,且表示“人”,故选B项。
【答案】 B

A.when B.where C.which D.whom
【解析】 句意为:他最后到了一座完全与外面世界隔绝的孤岛上。本题考查定语从句。定语从句修饰的先行词是island,将先行词代入定语从句后为:The island was completely cut off from the outside world.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作主语,且先行词表示“物”。
14

A.they B.where C.what D.that

【解析】 句意为:很多国家现在都在建立国家公园,在那里动物和植物能够受到保护。本题考查定语从句。先行词为national parks,代入从句中为:In the national parks animals and plants can be protected.应该使用表示地点的关系副词,故选D项。

【答案】 B
6.【2011·江苏】Between the two parts of the concert is an interval,________the audience can buy icecream.
A.when B.where C.that D.which
【解析】 考查定语从句。本题的先行词是interval,意思是“休息时间”,表示时间,在定语从句中充当时间状语,因此选择关系副词when。
【答案】 A
14
“介词+关系代词”的用法
7.【2013·浙江】The children,________had played the whole day long,were worn out.
A.all of what B.all of which C.all of them D.all of whom
【解析】 句意为:孩子们因为玩了一整天,都已经精疲力尽了。本题考查定语从句的用法。先行词为the children,将先行词代入定语从句后为:All of the children had played the whole day long.由此可见,先行词在定语从句中作of的宾语,且先行词表示“人”,故只能用all of whom。
【答案】 D
8.【2011·江西】She showed the visitors around the museum,the construction________had taken more than three years.
A.for which B.with which C.of which D.to which
【解析】 句意为:她带领游客参观了这个博物馆,建设这个博物馆花了三年多的时间。本题考查非限制性定语从句。由于本题中两个分句之间既没有从属连词,又没有并列连词,所以此处应该是一个非限制性定语从句,其中先行词是the museum和construction之间具有所属关系,所以应该用介词of。
【答案】 C
as与which的用法
9.【2013·新课标卷Ⅰ】“You can’t judge a book by its cover,” ________.
A.as the saying goes old B.goes as the old saying
C.as the old saying goes D.goes as old the saying
【解析】 句意为:正如古训所说“人不可貌相,海水不可斗量”。本题考查定语从句,先行词为前面一句话。先行词在定语从句中作宾语,故选C项。go在此处意为“说”,相当于say,用作及物动词。
【答案】 C
10.【2013·天津】We have launched another manmade satellite,________is announced in today’s newspaper.
A.that B.which C.who D.what
14
【解析】 句意为:我们又发射了一颗人造卫星,这件事是在今天的报纸上宣布的。本题考查非限制性定语从句。首先排除A项,因that不能引导非限制性定语从句;先行词为前面一句话,先行词在定语从句中作主语,且表示“事物”,故用which引导。who只用于指人;what不能引导定语从句。
【答案】 B
11.【2013·山东】There is no simple answer,________is often the case in science.
A.as B.that C.when D.where
【解析】 句意为:科学往往如此,它没有一个简单的答案。本题考查定语从句。设空处前有逗号,故判断设空处引导非限制性定语从句。空格处的引导词在从句中作主语,排除C、D两项;that不能引导非限制性定语从句。

分隔式/分离式/干扰式定语从句

【解析】 句意为:世界银行主席说他对中国有一种情结,他记得这种情结始于他的儿童时代。本题考查定语从句。先行词是a passion for China,在定语从句中作start的宾语,要用关系代词,所以选B项。

A.which B.who C.where D.whom
【解析】 句意为:埃伦是一个画鸟类和自然的画家,出于某种原因,他已退出了所有的社会活动。for some reason为插入语,可将其去掉,这时可以注意到该复合句中从句缺少主语。根据从句的语意可确定该从句的主语应是指人的,由此可确定答案。该从句为非限制性定语从句,其先行词为a painter。值得注意的是,有的考生误将 birds 和 nature 作为从句的先行词,从而错选which。
【答案】 B
14.【2011·天津】The days are gone________physical strength was all you needed to
14
make a living.
A.when B.that C.where D.which
【解析】 句意为:“体力是谋生的唯一所需”的时代一去不复返了。本题考查定语从句用法。先行词为the days,将其代入定语从句后为:On the days physical strength was all...由此可见先行词在定语从句中作时间状语,故用when引导。本题先行词与定语从句隔开,构成了“分割性定语从句”,增加了试题难度。
【答案】 A
1.定语从句中关系词的选择应该遵循“缺什么,补什么”的原则。
2.对于“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,要熟记介词的选择标准。
3.point,situation,case,stage,occasion等在定语从句中作为先行词时,要正确判断其后是用关系代词还是关系副词。如果引导词在从句中作状语,则用where或when,否则用that或which。我们可以采用补全法,即根据句意把从句补充完整,补上去的部分在从句中所作的成分就是引导词在从句中所作的成分。
4.as引导的定语从句通常有比较固定的句式和标志,熟悉其特点,就很容易识别这种定语从句。
5.分隔式定语从句的干扰性最强,解决这类题目的关键是把分隔部分去掉,并能够正确查找先行词。
一、关系代词引导的定语从句
1.that用于下列情况:
(1)先行词是all,something,everything,anything,nothing,little,much,few等不定代词;
(2)先行词被all,any,every,no,little,much,some等词修饰;
(3)先行词被序数词、形容词最高级修饰或先行词本身是序数词;
(4)先行词被the only,the very(正是、恰是),the last修饰;
(5)先行词中既有人也有物;
(6)在which或who的特殊疑问句中含有定语从句;
(7)先行词是the way,并在定语从句中充当状语时,关系代词用that/in
14
which或省略关系词。
He talked about the people and the place that he had visited in that country.
他谈到了他在那个国家所见到的人和所参观的地方。
2.whose用来指人或物,在定语从句中只作定语。
【2011·四川高考】The school shop,whose customers are mainly students,is closed for the holidays.
这家学校商店大部分的顾客是学生,因放假而暂停营业了。
【2010·北京高考】 Children who are not active or whose diet is high in fat will gain weight quickly.
很少进行体育锻炼或饮食富含脂肪的孩子体重会增加很快。
3.who,whom,that这些词代替的先行词是表示人的名词或代词,在从句中可作主语、宾语等。
【2010·湖南】I’ve become good friends with several of the students in my school who I met in the English speech contest last year.我已与去年在英语演讲比赛中遇到的我校的几个学生成为了好朋友。
4.which用于下列情况:
(1)引导非限制性定语从句;
(2)关系代词充当介词的宾语,且介词位于关系代词之前;
(3)先行词本身是that时;
(4)引导的定语从句修饰前面的整个主句,代替主句所表示的整体概念或部分概念。
【2012·全国卷Ⅱ)That evening,which I will tell you more about later,I ended up working very late.那天晚上我一直工作到很晚,过后我会告诉你关于那晚更详细的情况。
二、“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
1.考查该结构中关系代词的选用。
若介词放在关系代词之前,关系代词指人时常用whom,指物时常用which。另外,whose也可以放在介词后,即“介词+whose+名词”结构,whose指人、物皆可。
【2012·天津】I wish to thank Professor Smith,without whose help I would never have got this far.
我希望感谢史密斯教授,没有他的帮助,我永远不会走这么远。
2.考查该结构中介词的选用。
14
(1)一般来说,确定关系代词前的介词,可以从以下三方面入手:先行词的意义;从句中的动词的固定搭配;句子的意思。
(2)表示“整体和部分关系”介词常用of。常见结构:
①在some,any,few,little,none,all,both,neither,many,most,each等代词或数词的前/后可以用of which/whom。
②the+比较级或最高级前/后用of which/whom等。
【2013·重庆高考】John invited about 40 people to his wedding,most of whom are family members.
约翰邀请了大约40人参加他的婚礼,他们当中绝大部分是家庭成员。
Recently I bought an ancient vase,the price of which (=whose price) was very reasonable.
最近我买了个古代的花瓶,它的价钱很合理。
注意:(1)from where为“介词+关系副词”结构,但也可以引导定语从句。
We stood at the top of the hill,from where we can see the town.
我们站在山顶上能看到全镇的景色。
(2)像listen to,look at,depend on,pay attention to,take care of等固定动词短语,在定语从句中不能将介词与动词分开。
三、as与which引导非限制性定语从句的区别
1.一般情况下,as所引导的非限制性定语从句放在主句之前、主句之后或者插在主句中间皆可,而which所引导的非限制性定语从句则只能放在主句之后。
【2013·安徽】 】Mo Yan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012,which made one of the Chinese people’s longheld dreams come true.莫言被授予2012年诺贝尔文学奖,这使中国人长久以来拥有的梦想之一变成现实。
2.当非限制性定语从句的谓语为be announced,be expected,be known,be reported,be said,be shown等被动式谓语时,常用as引导。
【2012·福建高考】The air quality in the city,as is shown in the report,has improved over the past two months.
正如报告所显示的,在过去的两个月里,这个城市的空气质量已有所改善。
3.as表示整个主句内容时,有时含有“正如;正像”等意思,而which无此意。
4.在下列固定结构中,关系代词as代表整个主句所述的内容,一般不用which。
14
as we know 众所周知
as has been said before 如前所述
as is often the case 情况常常如此
四、关系副词引导的定语从句
当关系词在定语从句中作状语时,要用关系副词。其中when=表时间的介词(如in,at,on,during等)+which;
where=表地点的介词(如in,at,on,under等)+which;
why=表原因的介词(如for)+which。
关系副词when,where,why的先行词是表示时间、地点或理由的名词,在从句中作状语。
【2013 ·新课标卷Ⅱ】When I arrived,Bryan took me to see the house where I would be staying.
当我到达时,Bryan带我去看了我将要住的房子。
The reason why I don’t trust him is that he often tells lies.
我不信任他的原因是他常常撒谎。
注意:(1)当先行词为一些表示抽象地点的名词,如:point,situation,case,stage等时,如果引导词在从句中作状语,常用关系副词where引导定语从句;如果不作状语,则用关系代词that/which。
Remember that there is still one point which we must make clear at the conference tomorrow.
记住在明天的会议上我们还有一点必须弄清楚。
She’s in a hopeless situation,where we will keep a very close eye on her.
她处于无望的处境中,在这种情况下我们将密切注意她。
(2)先行词occasions当“时机”讲时,用关系副词when;当“场合”讲时,用关系副词where。
Occasions are quite rare when I have the time to spend a day with my kids.我有时间陪我的孩子们一天的机会很少。
五、定语从句与其他从句的区别
1.考查非限制性定语从句与并列句的区别。区分办法主要看前后句之间是否有and,but等并列连词或分号等的存在。若有,则为并列句;如果只有逗号,且逗号后的内容是对前面某一名词的补充说明,则为非限制性定语从句。
14
【2012·四川高考】In our class there are 46 students,of whom half wear glasses.(定语从句)
In our class there are 46 students,and half of them wear glasses.(并列句)
2.考查主语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别。重点考查it,what和as的选用。
常见的考查结构:
(1)“It be done(如:said/suggested等)that+从句(that+从句是主语从句,it是形式主语)”意为“据/人们(说/建议等)……”。
(2)“What be done(如:said/suggested等)is that+从句(that+从句是表语从句,what引导主语从句)”意为“所(说/建议等)的是……”。
(3)“As be done (如:said/suggested等),主句(as引导非限制性定语从句)”意为“正如所(说/建议等)的那样,……”。
It is required in the regulations that you should not tell other people the password of your email account.(主语从句)
What is required in the regulations is that you should not tell other people the password of your email account.(主语、表语从句)
As is required in the regulations,you should not tell other people the password of your email account.(定语从句)
3.考查the same,such,so引导限制性定语从句和结果状语从句的区别。the same,such,so可以与as或that搭配。as引导的是定语从句,前面名词或代词要在从句中充当成分;而that引导的是结果状语从句,从句结构完整。
Last term our maths teacher set so difficult an examination problem as none of us worked out.(定语从句)
Last term our maths teacher set so difficult an examination problem that none of us worked them out.(结果状语从句)
上学期数学老师考试出题太难,没有一个人能解出来。

【解析】 考查定语从句。句意为:很多恋人选择在2012年12月12日这一天结婚,这是因为在这一天日期、月份与年份都一样。因为从句缺少时间状语,所以应用which指代先行词;当先行词是某个日期,且年月日完整时,介词应该用on。
