以上我们已经通过归纳总结和练习对本课的语法内容有了一定的了解，下面就让我们根据
之前练习的考察情
况进一步选择讲解
该语法项的重难点。
限定性定语从句是句中不可缺少的组成部分，使先行词区别于同类其他事物；主句和从句之间不用逗号隔开。
非限定性定语从句是对主句先行词的补充说明，没有这种从句不影响主句意思完整。一般用逗号把主句和从句分开。
引导词：关系代词和关系副词，作宾语时一些关系代词可以省略
引导词：as, who, whom, whose, which, of which, when, where等，不用that或why,不能省略
定语从句
非限制性定语从句只是对主句内容，或先行词的补充、解释或附加说明。主句与先行词或从句之间一般用逗号分开，常常单独翻译。没有它，主句意思仍然完整。引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词有as，which，who， whom，whose等，作定语从句的主语、宾语、表语及定语。关系副词有when，where等，作定语从句的状语。关系代词和关系副词在定语从句中一般不能省。
非限制性定语从句举例：
1. His mother, who loves him very much, is strict with him.
2. China, which was founded in 1949, is becoming more and more powerful.
3. Last summer I visited the People’s Great Hall, in which many important meetings are held every year.
Her brother who is now a soldier always encourages her to go to college. Her brother, who is now a soldier, always encourages her to go to college.
（她还有其他哥哥。）
（她只有一个哥哥。）
非限制性定语从句
1. which引导的非限定性定语从句来说明前面整个句子的情况或主句的某一部分 ，that不能用于引导非限制性定语从句。
Her house, which was built a hundred years ago, stood still in the earthquake.
那座房子在地震中依然耸立，它是一百多年前建造的。
2. 有时as也可用作关系代词。
3. 在非限定性定语从句中，用who, whom代表人，用which代表事物。
4. 非限制性定语从句还能将整个主句作为先行词，对其进行修饰，这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数。
He seems not to have grasped what I meant, which greatly upsets me.
他似乎没抓住我的意思，这使我心烦。
Liquid water changes to vapor, which is called evaporation.
液态水变为蒸汽，这就叫做蒸发。
as 和which
引导非限制性定语从句的区别
which引导的从句只能放在主句之后； as引导的从句可放在句首、句中或句尾。
As is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month.
Mike, as we expected, attended the meeting.　　
He wasn’t unconscious, as could be judged from his eyes.
2. which既可代指先行词，又可代指整
个主句的内容，相当于 “and this”
或 “and that”，译为“这一点”。
　as只能代指整个主句的内容，常带有
“正如”之意，且已形成固定结构。
as is known, as is reported, as is said,
as is expected, as we know, etc.
1. Einstein, as is known, is a famous scientist.
2. As is reported, China has become an important country in the world.
3. Taiwan belongs to China, as is known to all.
4. Bamboo is hollow, which makes it very light.
5. My son now goes to the school, which I used to go to when I was a child.
6. He didn’t come to attend the meeting, as had been expected.
3. as在从句中作主语，从句中的谓语必须是系动词；而which则不一定。
He is very strict, as is shown in his work.
The man is very learned, as is described
in the book.
4. 先行词前有the same, such限定时，关系词只能用as。
I have the same opinion as you (have).
Don’t read such books as are beyond your ability.
当先行词受the same 修饰时，有时也用 that引导定语从句，但与as引导的定语从句意思有区别。
She wore the same dress as her younger sister wore.
She wore the same dress that she wore at Mary’s wedding.
5. 主从之间存在逻辑上的因果关系时，关系词往往用which。
Tom was late for school again and again, which made his teacher very angry.

purse.
(why)
(that)
(when)
(where)
Carol said the work would be done by
October, ____ personally I doubt very
much.
A. it B. that C. when D. which
实例详解
“我个人所怀疑的”是“到十月份这工作能否被完成”，而不是“十月份”，由此判定非限制性定语从句所修饰的不是October，而是前面整个主句。答案：D。
2. John said he’d been working in the
office for an hour, ______ was true.
A. he B. this
C. which D. who
“John说他在办公室工作一个小时了，这件事情是真的” 所以要用关系代词which指代这件事情并引导非限制性定语从句。答案：C。
3. Alice received an invitation from her
boss, ___ came as a surprise.
A. it　 B. that　
C. which　 D. he
此为非限定性从句，不能用 that修饰，而用which。it 和he 都使后句成为句子，两个独立的句子不能单以逗号连接。况且选he句意不通。答案C。
4. The weather turned out to be very
good, ___ was more than we could
expect.
A. what　B. which　C. that　D. it
which可代替句子，用于非限定性定语从句，而what不可。That 不能用于非限定性定语从句，it不为连词，使用逗号连接的两个句子并在一起在英语语法上行不通。答案B。
以上我们已经通过归纳总结和练习对本课的语法内容有了一定的了解，下面就让我们根据
之前练习的考察情
况进一步选择讲解

A dam is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or retards the flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundment. Most dams have a section called a spillway, over which or through which it is intended that water will flow.
Warming up by tell about China Yangtze Three Gorges Project
China Yangtze Three Gorges Project (TGP), as one of the biggest hydropower-complex project in the world, ranks as the key project for improvement and development of Yangtze River. The dam is located in the areas of Xilingxia gorge, one of the three gorges of the river, which will control a drainage area of 1 million km 2, with an average annual runoff of 451 billion m3. The open valley at the dam site, with hard and complete granite as the bedrock, has provided the favorable topographical and geological conditions for dam construction.

Period 2 Grammar—Non-defining relative clauses
■Goals
●To learn about non-defining clauses and contraction of relative clauses
■Procedures
Step 1: Understanding relative clause
Non-defining relative clausesWhen a relative clause merely describes an object without having the function of defining or identifying to which object the speaker or writer is referring, the clause must be placed between commas. Such a clause can be called a non-defining or non-limiting relative clause, i.e., a non-defining relative clause gives extra information about a noun or noun phrase and has commas at both ends.(非限定性定语从句和先行词关系松散，只是对先行词做附加说明，如果省去，主句的意思仍然完整或清楚。非限定性定语从句和主句之间用逗号隔开。) The door, which was bright red, was very conspicuous.My sister, who lives in Beijing, is coming to stay with me next week. (‘who lives in Beijing’ is not essential, which means that I only have one sister and she does not need to be defined by the relative clause)‘Who’ and ‘whose’ are used for people. ‘Which’ and ‘whose’ are used for things. ‘That’ cannot be used in a non-defining relative clause.
Step 2: Understanding the differences between defining and non-defining relative clause
My sister, who is studying German, wants to travel to Switzerland.
The girl (who, whom, that) you saw at the meeting is a well-known swimmer.
Mr. Henry, whom we will meet tomorrow, will be our guide.
His uncle, to whom we send a birthday card every year, is ninety-one years old.
Is that the student to whom you lent your dictionary
Wang Hong has a cat which follows her everywhere.
The package that arrived last night is on the table.
The TV set in the corner, which is covered in books, is mine.
He lives in Boston, which is only half an hours ride from here.
My cousin, whose family lives in Europe, will visit us for a few weeks.
He is the very worker whose picture we saw in the newspaper yesterday.
The tree, the branches of which overhung the street, was covered with blossoms.

定语从句是高中英语学习的重要语法项目之一，也是历年高考的热点。它的难度主要是通过改变句子的正常语序或借助于其它语法项目来体现的，为了提高同学们的应变能力， 现对定语从句的一些常见考点归纳和总结如下：
一、疑问句中考查定语从句
1. Is this the farm ________ you visited last week
A. where B. the one C. on which D. /
【解析】答案是D。命题人经常利用疑问句的特殊结构来干扰学生的正确选择。遇到这类定语从句时，最好的办法是先把疑问句还原成陈述句，然后判断谁是先行词，再看关系词在定语从句中所充当的成分，最后确定正确答案。
二、倒装句中考查定语从句
2. We came to a place, ________ stood a big tower.
A. which B. that C. / D. where
【解析】正确答案是D。为了保持句子平衡，句子用了倒装语序。倒装的使用使定语从句的结构变得较为特殊，因此对于使用倒装语序的定语从句，应先把倒装语序还原成正常语序，这样句子结构就比较清晰了。
三、 拆分词组和固定搭配
3. The second is connected with the use ________ the body makes of food.
A. of which B. where C. to do D. that
4. Why can’t you realize the part ________ they have played in our life
A. which B. on which C. when D. where
【解析】正确答案分别是D和A。一些词组和搭配被拆开后，句子的含义就变得难以理解。首先把拆开的词组复原是理解此类定语从句的关键。上述句子中包含以下词组：make use of, play a part (in)。
四、添加插入语或状语
5. The scientist has made another discovery, _______ I believe is of great importance.
A. that B. / C. which D. why
【解析】应选择C。这类句子主要利用插入语或状语的添加来增加试题的难度。常见的插入语有：I think (suppose, expect, believe, imagine), in my opinion, to tell you the truth等。做这类题目时，最佳的办法是先删去插入语或状语，这样句子的主干部分就一目了然了。
五、插入非谓语动词
6. Is this the man ________ you want to have ________ the radio for me
A. who; repaired B. that; repaired C. whom; repairing D. that; repair
【解析】D项正确。非谓语动词是英语中难度较大的语法项目之一，因而在定语从句中加入非谓语动词就成了学生最易失分的题目。对付这类题目最有效的办法就是将句子还原。如：我们可以把几个句子中的定语从句进行还原，还原后的句子应是：You want to have the man repair the radio for me.

Step 2: Writing an email about a visit to a place
I had longed to visit Zhujiajiao for many years. So, under the hot noon sun on a weekend in early summer, I and several friends got on a bus. After more than an hour's drive our bus stopped at Zhujiajiao. As soon as we got off the bus, we bought a tourist map of Zhujiajiao. This was to be our 3-yuan tour guide for the trip. We spent an hour on a leisurely walk through the ancient town. Walking the streets, we were given an insight into the ancient houses and their residents, who live behind newly painted doors and windows. Their lives were peaceful. Through half-closed wooden doors, we saw housewives busy working around kitchen ranges, preparing meals.The most-loved scenic spot of Zhujiajiao is Fangsheng Bridge. A stone arch bridge built during the mid-Qing Dynasty, the imposing bridge is viewed as the landmark structure of Zhujiajiao. Standing on the bridge, one has panoramic view of the entire town.
Located on the Sino-Russian border, the city of Manzhouli is so beautiful. Strolling on the square in the center of the city, I met a traveler who paid a visit here 10 years ago. “It has changed a lot,” said Mr. Chen, a traveler. “I can barely find the sights I saw ten years ago, except for those Russian-style buildings.”At present, Manzhouli has some 160,000 people of more than 20 ethnic groups, including Mongolian, Han, Hui, Korean, Ewenki, Oroqen, and Russian. They live a peaceful, happy life.
A city of great historic and cultural significance, Shaoxing in Zhejiang Province has long been known as the Town on the Water. Here, its many bridges add to the beauty of a city that is also reputed（号称） as the Home of Bridges. There are 604 ancient bridges in various forms kept in Shaoxing. One may cross very different stone bridges within the distance of only several steps. There is no market, no road and no village without a bridge. Local residents explain to visitors that there are nine gates, ten temples, a hundred nunneries and eight bridge pavilions inside the city of Shaoxing, displaying the architectural features of old Shaoxing. They will further tell of three hills, ten dams and a 20-opening bridge nearby the vast Jianhu Lake. Almost all forms of China’s ancient bridges can be found in Shaoxing.
At about 3:00 pm the taxi dropped me and a few steps later I was standing at the center of Beijing and at the precise center of political power in China—Tiananmen Square. In the distance, fronting The Square, are the Great Hall of the People, the China National Museum and the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall.I was looked down upon by these great buildings of government, culture, history and Him. At this place choices were made, destinies cast and power on Earth was changed. And still from here a nation is driven to advance in the world.

A: By the way, who wrote the poem that reads: “walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain till a smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges” B: I think it was Mao Zedong who wrote that poem.A: The power of the Yangtze River has been harnessed by the Three Gorges Dam. So what he dreamed of in his poem has now come true, hasn’t it B: Yes, it has.A: It is said that the power of the Yangtze River is the world’s third longest river.B: That’s right. And the Three Gorged Dam is the biggest construction project in China since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal.A: How wonderful! I am proud of being a Chinese.B: Do you know why was it built A: It has been built to control flooding and provide hydro- electric power for the central region of China. B: How high is the dam A: It is nearly 200 meters high and 1.5kilometres wide. B: It must be the largest hydro- electric power station and dam in the world.A: Yes, you are right.B: It must be expensive to build such a dam.A: It has in fact cost more than any other construction project in history.B: Have you heard of a person called Sun Yat- sen A: You are joking! I know he was the leader of the 1911 Revolution.B: It was Sun Yat- sen who first suggested the idea of a dam across the Yangtze River in 1919. A: Really B: You know three quarters of China’s energy is produced by burning coal. A: I read in a report that in 1993, China used 1.2 billion tons of coal for heating and generating electricity. B: You are well informed.A: Unfortunately, burning coal causes serious air pollution and increases global warming. B: That’s why the dam was built A: How much electricity will it produce B: I can tell you about that. It will generate electricity equal to about 40 million tons of coal without causing so much air pollution.A: It seems that many places have been flooded.B: That’s a pity. The reservoir has flooded 2 cities, 11 counties, 140 towns and more than 4,000 villages. A: What a pity! What about the people B: More than a million people living in the region have moved from their homes.

But some of them are being removed and some are being put into museums.A: I’d like to visit the new The Three Gorges area. B: I am going there tomorrow!
Step 2: Speaking about different types of dams
A: I hear that with the exception of the Great Wall of China, dams are the largest structures ever built.
B: Dams are very important to man.
C: You are right. Throughout history, big dams have prevented flooding, irrigated farmland, and generated huge amounts of electricity.
A: Without dams, modern life would simply not be the same.
B: When was the first big dam built
C: The first large-scale dam was built in Egypt more than 5,000 years ago.
A: Can tell us something about the arch dam
B: Yes, I will. Arch dams are good for narrow, rocky rivers.
C: Arch dams, like the El Atazar Dam in Spain, are thin and require less material than any other type of dam.
A: What about buttress dam
B: Buttress dams may be flat or curved, but one thing is certain: a series of supports, or buttresses, brace the dam on the downstream side.
A: And the embankment dam
C: Embankment dams are the most commonly built dams in the United States. They are massive dams made of earth and rock.
B: And there is the gravity dam.
C: Gravity dams are massive dams that resist the thrust of water entirely by their own weight. Most gravity dams, like the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington, are expensive to build because they require so much concrete.
D: All dams -- whether they’re embankment, buttress, arch, or gravity -- must be maintained as they get older.
A: When should dams be taken down When should they be repaired
D: Now that we know more about different types of dams. We shall think about the advantages and disadvantages of dams next time we meet here.

1. canal
Canals are man-made waterways, usually connecting existing lakes, rivers, or oceans. Irrigation canals are man-made waterways for the delivery of water and preceded the use of transportation canals used by barges or narrow boats on smaller canals, and by ships on ship canals that connect to the ocean.
2. gorge
A canyon, or gorge, is a valley walled by cliffs. Most canyons originate by a process of long-time erosion from a plateau level, with a stream gradually carving out its valley. The cliffs form because harder rock strata that are resistant to erosion and weathering remain exposed on the valley walls. Canyons are much more common in arid areas than in wetter areas because weathering has a lesser effect in arid zones. Canyons' walls are often formed of resistant sandstones or granite. Submarine canyons are those which form underwater, generally at the mouths of rivers.
3. relic
The word relic comes from the Latin reliquiae ('remains') and there are many pre-Christian instances of some bone or other part of the corpse, or some intimately associated object, carefully preserved with an air of veneration as a tangible memorial. The preservation of relics is a primitive Instinct, and it is associated with shamanism as well as many other developed religious systems besides that of Christianity. Relics are an important aspect of Buddhism and Hinduism.

One of the great world religions, it is divided into two main schools: the Theravada or Hinayana in Sri Lanka and SE Asia, and the Mahayana in China, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan. A third school, the Vajrayana, has a long tradition in Tibet and Japan. Buddhism has largely disappeared from its country of origin, India, except for the presence there of many refugees from the Tibet region of China and a small number of converts from the lower castes of Hinduism.
5. Vietnam
Vietnam, officially Socialist Republic of Vietnam, republic (1995 est. pop. 74,393,000), 128,400 sq mi (332,642 sq km), Southeast Asia. The capital is Hanoi and the largest city is Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon.

On the train back home, a man sat opposite Mark Twain. Twain looked at the man and thought that this man looked quite unpleasant. However, it would be impolite to say nothing in that situation, so he said good morning to the man, and they began to talk.
First they talked about the weather and then they talked about Maine. The stranger said, “We have some beautiful woods in Maine. It would be a pity to come to Maine without spending some time there. I suppose you have been in our woods, haven’t you ” “Yes, I have,” answered Mark Twain. “I’ve just spent three weeks there and I had a very good time, too. Although fishing isn’t allowed in Maine at this season, I’ve got two hundred pounds of beautiful fish with my baggage on this train. I like to eat fish, so I packed it in ice to take it home with me. May I ask who you are, sir ”
The stranger looked at Mark Twain for several seconds and then answered, “I’m a police officer. My job is to catch people who hunt and fish during the wrong seasons. And who are you ”
Mark Twain was surprised and frightened when he heard this. He thought quickly and then answered, “Well, I’ll tell you, sir. I’m the man who tells the biggest lies in America.”

A new study shows that different brains appear to have different problems, depending on the language a person uses. Especially the brains of people who have trouble in reading Chinese and reading English show different patterns.
Scientists can look at a person’s brain while it’s doing things and figure out which parts of the brain are working at various times. An instrument called fMRI measures where blood flows through the brain during certain tasks (任务). The more blood flows in an area, the more activity there is.
In dyslexic (诵读困难的) people who use languages with alphabets and letters, such as English, there are activities in the back of the brain. This region is important for matching written letters with their sounds. On the other hand, in Chinese readers with dyslexia, activities in an area in the front of the brain seem to be more important. This area helps to understand the meaning of written Chinese characters.
To better understand the difference, researchers looked at 16 Chinese children, ages 10 to 12, eight of whom had big reading problems. Each child took two reading tests. In poor readers, fMRI showed less activity in the left side of the brain. These areas are normally involved in reading languages such as Chinese.
Many experts turn to biology (生物学) to explain the development of reading disorders. This sort of research could eventually lead to better ways of helping struggling readers, whatever language they use.
51. According to this survey, more blood flow can be found .
A. on the right side of the brain B. on the left side of the brain
C. where the brain is working D. where the brain is not working
52. Half of the children who take part in the tests are those .
A. who are interested in science B. who have reading problems
C. who like reading very much D. who are good at reading
53. If a person has less activity in the left side of the brain, he/she may have trouble in .
A. reading languages such as Chinese
B. matching written letters with their sounds
C. understanding the meaning of written Chinese characters
D. learning foreign languages
54. It can be inferred from this passage that .
A. children with dyslexia have trouble learning foreign languages
B. Chinese and English dyslexic readers have the same reason for the development of reading disorders.
C. compared with (与……比较) English, Chinese is more difficult to learn
D. those who have trouble learning one language may learn another well
55. What’s the purpose of the research
A. To find a better way to help dyslexic readers.
B. To find the best way of learning foreign languages.
C. To prove that the fMRI is practical.
D. To find which language is the most difficult to learn.

( http: / / www. / )A farming game becomes popular on the Internet as users get up in the morning to steal crops and fruit from their friends’ farms and become the kings of virtual (虚拟的) farming.
Just like the farm game “kaixin001” in Chinese. Users can plant crops, and raise chickens and sheep, and the harvest can be sold and exchanged for experience points to increase the attraction. Players can sneak into (潜入) their friends’ farms and steal crops. The more practiced a user gets in planting crops, the more virtual money he or she can make. That makes it much more fun than just killing time on the Internet.
Now more city white collars, young office ladies in particular, are going online to live a country life. ________ that they set the alarm for an early rise every day, when they start up the computer and go farming.

They can use a virtual network to plant, water crops, get rid of pests, harvest and sell their crops, and they can raise chickens and cows, and buy dogs to guard the farm. The whole process is much more interesting than electronic chickens, and seeing the results of their own hard work pile in the storage offers some kind of satisfaction in an otherwise boring daily life.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Now we are on the Yangpu Bridge, which was completed in October 1993. It is the second largest bridge over the Huangpu River and it is 48 meters above water. The bridge is 7,654 meters long with 6 lanes, which allows 450,000 vehicles to go across the bridge every day. Now, look, the name of the bridge was written by Deng Xiaoping, a great figure in China. Here on the bridge, you can enjoy the beautiful sights of the Huangpu River. But remember the opening time for tourists is between 8:30 and 16:00. That’s all. Thank you!
