第四讲定语从句
◆Part Ⅰ 真题变式体验
1.[2017·江苏高考]In 1963 the UN set up the World Food Programme, one of ________purposes is to relieve worldwide starvation.
答案:whose 关系代词whose在定语从句中作定语,修饰purposes, whose purposes =the World Food Programme's purposes。句意:1963年,联合国设立了世界粮食计划署,它的其中一个目的就是缓解世界范围内的饥饿问题。
2.[2017·天津高考]My eldest son, ________ work takes him all over the world, is in New York at the moment.
答案:whose 本句含有一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是my eldest son, 定语从句中的主语与其构成明确的所属关系,故设空处在定语从句中作名词work的定语,要用whose。
3.[2017·北京高考]The little problems________we meet in our daily lives may be inspirations for great inventions.
答案:that/which 分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句。先行词为problems,指物,设空处所填引导词在定语从句中作谓语动词meet的宾语,指代先行词,故填that/which。句意:我们在日常生活中遇到的小问题可能会激励我们做出大发明。
4.[2016·天津高考]We will put off the picnic in the park until next week, ________ the weather may be better.
答案:when 先行词为next week,将先行词代入定语从句后为:The weather may be better next week.说明定语从句中缺时间状语,故引导词填when。
5.[2016·浙江高考]Scientists have advanced many theories about why human beings cry tears, none of ________ has been proved.
答案:which 先行词为theories,将先行词代入定语从句后为:None of the theories has been proved.说明定语从句中缺介词of的宾语,故代替先行词的引导词填which。
6.[2016·江苏高考]Many young people, most of ________ were well-educated, headed for remote regions to chase their dreams.
答案:whom 先行词为young people,指人,将先行词代入定语从句后为:Most of the young people were well-educated.由此可见,先行词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语,故答案为whom。
7.[2015·湖南高考]It is a truly delightful place, ________ looks the same as it must have done 100 years ago with its winding streets and pretty cottages.
答案:which 根据句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词指物且从句缺少主语,故填which。
8.[2015·天津高考]The boss of the company is trying to create an easy atmosphere ________ his employees enjoy their work.
答案:where 根据句子结构分析,先行词为atmosphere, 而其后的定语从句中不缺少主语、宾语主要句子成分,关系词在从句中作状语,只能填关系副词。当atmosphere, case, point, situation, stage, activity等表示抽象意义的名词为先行词,且定语从句中缺少状语的情况下,应用关系副词where引导定语从句,表示抽象意义的地点。
9.[2015·陕西高考]As the smallest child of his family, Alex is always longing for the time ________ he should be able to be independent.
答案:when 分析句子结构可知,空格处引导定语从句,先行词time是表时间的名词;且定语从句中缺少时间状语,故用关系副词when。
10.[2015·北京高考]Opposite is St. Paul's Church, ________ you can hear some lovely music.
答案:where 分析句子结构可知,“________ you can hear some lovely music”是非限制性定语从句,设空处指代先行词St. Paul's Church且在定语从句中作地点状语。故填where。
