They won the game, as we had expected. They won the game, which we hadn’t 例 句 He is not such a fool as he looks. 三、where、when与why引导的定语从句

关系副词 用 法 关系副词where引导定语从句时，只能在where 定语从句中作地点状语，其修饰的名词必须是表示(具体或抽象的)地点的名词。 关系副词 when引导定语从句时, 只能在go to school. when 定语从句中作时间状语，其修饰的名词必A. a; that B. a; when 须是表示时间的名词。 C. the; that D. the ; when 关系副词why引导定语从句时，只能在Do you know the reason why she was put into why 定语从句中作原因状语，其修饰的名词必prison ? 你知道她坐牢的原因吗？ 须是表示原因的名词。 例 句 We’re just trying to teach a point___both sides will sit down together and talk. A. where B. that C. when D. which There was ________time ________I hated to 四、介词+关系代词引导的定语从句

●介词+which/ whom 基本形式 ●介词短语+ which。 常见介词短语：as a He was educated at a local grammar school,_________ he went on to Cambridge. A. from which B. after that C. after which D. from this result of, by means of, in 【解析】答案为C。“他”是上完了一个local grammar school之后，又front of, in case of, on account of等。 上的Cambridge，故选after which，引导一个非限制性定语从句，起补充说明作用。 Last week, only two people came to look at the house, ______wanted to buy it. 不定代词＋介词＋关系代词 A. none of them B. both of them C. none of whom D. neither of whom 【解析】答案为D。根据题意，两者都不想买。定语从句部分还原：neither of them wanted to buy it. The man pulled out a gold watch, were made of small diamonds. A. the hands of whom B. whom the handthe＋名词＋介词＋关系扩 代词 展 形 或“the hands of which”表示所属关系。 式 C. which the hands of D. the hands of which 【解析】答案为D。“watch”是物，故定语从句的引导词不可用“whom”， 可排除A、B两项。由句意可知，空格处可填入“whose hands”③The factory produces half a million pairs of shoes every year, 80% _______ are sold abroad. 数词＋介词＋关系代词 A. of which B. which of C. of them D. of that 【解析】答案为A。“80% of which”指代的是“80% of the shoes”。 ④There are two buildings, ________ stands nearly a hundred feet high. A. the larger B. the larger of them the＋形容词比较级（最高C. the larger one that D. the larger of which 级）＋介词＋关系代词 【解析】答案为D。the larger of which指代the larger of the two buildings；B选项缺少一个连词。 3

A. during which time B. for which time 介词＋ which ＋名词 C. during whose time D. by that time 【解析】答案为A。先行词为一段时间，所以用“during which time”引导定语从句，表示“在此期间”。 I saw a woman running toward me in the dark. Before I could recognize who 根据定语从句she was，she had run back in the direction __________she had come. 中谓语动词与方法一 先行词的搭配【解析】答案为D。此题考查由“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，根据内容而定 句意用from which表示“所来的那个方向”，from the direction。 There are two buildings , _______ stands nearly a hundred feet high. 判断方法二 介词的方法 根据所要表达C. during whose time D. by that time 方法三 的意思来确定【解析】答案为A。由题意和所缺词前面的逗号可判定题干是含非限制性所要用的介词 定语从句的复合句，先行词是表示一个时间段的短语from1999 to 2003；句意：从1999年到2003年马克是这所大学的学生，在这（4年）期间他学习很用功并被选为学生会主席，所缺词的意而定 【解析】答案为D。the larger of which指代the larger of the two buildings ，which 在定语从句中指代 building，作介词of的宾语。 Mark was a student at this university from 1999 to 2003,__________he studied very hard and was made chairman of the Students’ Union. A. during which time B. 根据先行词 A. the larger B. the larger of them C. the larger one that D. the larger of which A. of which B. by which C. in which D. from which 4

思为“在这期间”，故选A项。 五、定语从句与先行词被分割开来的现象

定语从句一般紧接被它所修饰的先行词；但有时候它和先行词之间有可能插入其他成分，使它与

先行词分隔开来，这种定语从句叫作被分隔的定语从句，在阅读文章时会经常遇到这种情况，在阅读是要注意识别先行词的修饰对象。

现 象 例 句 ①—Is that the small town you often refer to? —Right, just the one ________ you know I used to work for years. A. that B. which C. where D. what 【解析】答案为C。work是不及物动词，先行词one在定语从句在定语从句加中插入语，常见的有：I 中只能作地点状语，you know 在句中作插入语。 think ,I suppose ,I guess ,I imagine等。 ②He made another wonderful discovery ,______of importance to 辨别的方法是：去掉插入语后，原句句 science . 法结构仍然完整。 A. which I think is B. which I think it is C. which I think it D. I think is 【解析】答案为A。这里I think 是插入语，which 引导非限制性定语从句。 There are many thousands of stars in the sky that are like the sun.在太空中有成千上万的象太阳般的星星。 在先行词与定语从句之间 插入一个状语 【解析】乍一看，that引导的定语从句在名词sky的后面，似 乎应该是修饰sky的。但仔细一想，“不对啊，天空 怎么能象太阳呢？”，原来that引导的定语从句被in the sky这个地点状语分隔开来，修饰中心词stars。 Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace?你还记得吗，十年前 在先行词与定语从句之间 插入一个定语 的一天下午，我来到你家，找你借了一条钻石项链？ 【解析】when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace.实际上是修饰afternoon而不是修饰 years。Ten years ago 实际上是定语后置修饰afternoon。 先行词与定语从句被谓语分隔开来。此

A new master will come tomorrow who will teach you German. 5

时，先行词通常是句子的主语，因定语从句较长，主句谓语较短，为使句子平 衡，常将定语从句移至谓语之后 （先行词为A new master） 解题时要遵循下列原则：1.判别是不是定语从句；

2.如果从句中缺少主语、表语、宾语，就要用关系代词来引导从句； 3.如果从句中缺少状语，就得用关系副词来引导从句； 4.判断先行词的确切含义，再确定选用关系词。

①Ted came for the weekend wearing only some shorts and a T-shirt, ________is a stupid thing to do in such weather.

A. this

B. that

C. what D. which

【解析】答案为D。因为有逗号，所以不能选that，而选which，指代前面整个主句的内容。句意：Ted

②Whatever is left over may be put into the refrigerator, ________ it will keep for two or three weeks. A. when

B. which

C. where

D. while

【解析】答案为C。由句型结构可以看出，该题中的先行词refrigerator在从句中作介词的宾语，该介宾

结构在定语从句中作地点状语，故选择关系副词where。when在从句中作时间状语；which在从句中作主语或宾语；while是连词，不能用于定语从句。句意：剩下的任何东西都可以放入冰箱，在那里可以保存两三周。

③Between the two parts of the concert is an interval, _______ the audience can buy ice-cream. A. when B. where

C. that D. which

【解析】答案为A。先分析句子结构，判断从句类型，题干说“在音乐会中间有间歇，此时你可以买冰激

凌。”题干的前半部分完整无缺，后半部分补充说明这个间歇你可以干的事，所以这是一个非限定性定语从句，先行词为interval，非限定性定语从句的功能就是对先行词进行补充说明。由于从句部分不缺少主干成分，而且interval表时间，所以正确答案为A项。

④The old town has narrow streets and small houses _________are built close to each other. A. they

B. where

C. what

D. that

【解析】答案为D。句意：这个老城镇拥有狭窄的街道和建得彼此靠近的小房子。定语从句中缺少主语

指物，因此用 that 。
