语法梳理
一、关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词的指代及功能
关系副词 先行词 功能
when 表示时间的名词 时间状语
where 表示地点的名词 地点状语
why reason 原因状语
1.关系副词when引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示时间的名词,关系副词在从句
中作时间状语。
I still remember the day when I first went to the Great Wall.我还记得我第一次去长城的那一天。
The day when we get together will come soon.
我们重聚的日子很快就会来的。
We will never forget the year when the 29th Olympic Games were held in Beijing.我们将永远不会忘记第29届奥运会在北京举办的那一年。

单句语法填空
①We will never forget the day we flew at an altitude of 6,000
metres in the sky.
②Do you still remember the days we chatted with each other all
night

when
温馨提示
若时间名词后面的定语从句的引导词在从句中作主语或宾语,则改用which或that引导。
Do you remember the days that/which we spent together on the farm
你还记得我们在农场一起度过的那些日子吗 (that/which作spent的宾语)
2.关系副词where引导定语从句时,先行词应是表示地点或抽象地点的名词,关系副
词在从句中作地点状语。
The house where I lived ten years ago has been pulled down.
我十年前居住的那所房子已经被拆了。
He is now working in the factory where his father worked.

The school which/that we visited yesterday is newly built.
我们昨天参观的那所学校是新建的。(关系代词which/that在从句中作宾语)
3.关系副词why引导定语从句时,先行词常为reason,关系副词在从句中作原因状语。
The reason why he succeeded in the exam is that he studied very hard.
他考试成绩很好的原因是他学习很努力。
Can you tell me the reason why you didn’t come to his birthday party
你能告诉我你没参加他的生日聚会的原因吗
语境运用
单句语法填空

yesterday.

why
that/which
温馨提示
reason后的定语从句的引导词若在从句中作主语或宾语,则改用which或that。
I don’t know the reason why he didn’t turn to his good friend for help yesterday.
我不知道昨天他为什么没向他的好朋友求助。(why作原因状语)
I won’t listen to the reason that/which you have given us.
我坚决不听你提供给我们的那个理由。(定语从句中缺少宾语,所以用which/that,不用why)
二、介词+关系代词引导的定语从句
关系代词作介词的宾语时,为了使关系代词与先行词的关系更加紧凑,可以将从句中的介词提到关系代词前,形成“介词+关系代词”结构。该结构中的关系代词可用which或whom。
1.介词的选用。
“介词+关系代词”结构中的介词可以依据与从句中谓语动词的搭配、与先行词的搭配或句子意义来确定。
This is the camera with which he often takes photos.
这就是他经常用来拍照的相机。(根据与先行词的搭配确定)
This is the pilot with whom my father has worked for ten years.这就是和我爸爸一起工作了十年的那位飞行员。(根据意义搭配确定)

一句多译
这是那本我花了五元钱买的书。
①
②
This is the book on which I spent 5 yuan.
This is the book for which I paid 5 yuan.

词when、where和why互换。
I still remember the time when (=during which) I was in college.
我仍然记得我上大学的那段时光。
This is the hotel where (=in which) they stayed.
这就是他们待过的旅馆。
This is the reason why (=for which) he left in a hurry.这就是他匆匆
离去的原因。
②有些“动词+介词”短语,如look for、look after、send for、call on、
come across、long for等,不可拆开把介词置于关系代词之前。
The doctor that you sent for has not come.
你派人去请的医生还没来。
2.关系代词的选择。
“介词+关系代词”既可以引导限制性定语从句,也可以引导非限制性定语从句。在此结构中,先行词指人时关系代词用whom,不可用who/that;先行词指物时关系代词用which,不能用that。
This is the student for whom I bought a book.
这就是我给其买书的那个学生。
This is the ship by which I went to Shanghai.
这就是我去上海所乘的船。

话题延伸·素养升华
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers,small,tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present,the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively fewer languages,often spoken by many people,while hot,wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages;the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at random,Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico (150),Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one,with a question-mark):none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展,人类语言越来越少的现象及其原因。阅读本文,有利于提高学生保护语言的意识。

3.How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present
A.About 6,800.
B.About 3,400.
C.About 2,400.
D.About 1,200.
答案及剖析:

4.C 主旨大意题。本题考查学生把握文章主旨要义的能力。根据文章第一段中的主题句“Languages have been coming and going for... and a lot more going.”可知,语言的产生和消失已经持续了几千年,但在最近的时代语言产生的少,消失的多。故选C项。
B
If English means endless new words,difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation,you are wrong.Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university,learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brainpower.Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter (灰质).This is the area of the brain,which processes information.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli,from London University,took a group of Britain people who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five,as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language,the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skill.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34.Reading,writing and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger they started to learn,the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
语篇导读:这是一篇说明文。研究显示,学习一门外语能够增强脑力,增强人的学习能力,这是因为学习外语改变了大脑的灰质,大脑灰质负责对信息的处理。研究还发现,越早地学习一门外语,学习能力就越强。阅读本文,有利于学生认识到语言学习的好处,从而增强外语学习的信心。
5.The main subject talked about in this passage is .
A.science on learning a second language
B.man’s ability of learning a second language
C.language can help brainpower
D.language learning and maths study
答案及剖析:
5.C 主旨大意题。本题考查学生把握文本主旨要义的能力。由第二段中的“According to a new study by a British university... an increase in your brainpower.”可知,英国一所大学的一项新研究表明,学习另一种语言有助于增强脑力。结合下文,一些科学研究和科学家的实验都证明了这个观点。所以本文讨论的主题是语言有助于增强脑力。故选C。
6.In the second paragraph,the writer mentions “exercise” in order to
.
A.say language is also a kind of physical labour
B.prove that one needs more practice when he/she is learning a language
C.show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
答案及剖析:
6.D 推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。由第二段中的“Researchers found that learning other languages... similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.”可知,作者把语言学习对大脑的促进作用比作锻炼对塑造肌肉的促进作用,目的是说明语言学习对大脑的促进作用和锻炼对塑造肌肉的促进作用一样,即只要学习一门语言就会促进大脑灰质发挥作用。由此推知,在第二段中作者提到“exercise”是为了让人们相信,语言学习促进大脑灰质很好地发挥它的作用。故选D。
7.In the last two paragraphs,the author wants to tell us that .
A.learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B.early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying
other subjects
C.Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D.we’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
答案及剖析:
7.B 推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。由最后一段中的“The findings were matched in a study ... that the younger they started to learn,the better.”可知,研究人员对以意大利语为母语、将英语作为第二语言的2岁至34岁的人进行了调查。对阅读、写作和理解都进行了测试。结果表明,他们越早地学习另一门语言,学习其他科目的效果就越好。所以通过研究结果可以判断出,作者想告诉我们,早些学习另一门语言对学习其他科目有很大帮助。故选B。
Ⅱ.语法填空
“Climate emergency” was picked by Oxford Dictionaries as the word of the year for 2019 after 1. (use)on average 100 times more than in 2018.

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。climate emergency在2019年平均使用率是2018年的100倍,因此被《牛津词典》选为2019年的年度词语。阅读本文,有利于增强学生对热门词语“climate emergency”的认识。
答案及剖析:
1.being used 本题考查非谓语动词。介词after后接动词-ing形式,这里表示“被使用”,故填being used。
2.where 本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,这里是定语从句,先行词为situation,表示抽象意义的地点,定语从句中缺少地点状语,故填where。
3.terms 本题考查名词。此处表示“最……的……之一”用“one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”,故填terms。
4.typically 本题考查副词。这里修饰动词used,应用副词。以-al结尾的形容词变副词时通常在词尾加-ly。
5.were 本题考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,主语the top types of emergencies表示复数概念,再由动词wrote可知,这里应该用一般过去时。
6.an 本题考查冠词。分析句子成分可知,这里进一步说明something new的内容,表泛指,应用不定冠词;extension的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
7.on/upon 本题考查介词。focus后常接介词on/upon,表示“关注……”。
8.showed 本题考查动词时态。分析句子结构可知,此处为谓语;结合文章的主体时态及前面的said可知,此处应填showed。
9.to reflect 本题考查不定式作目的状语。分析句子结构并结合语境可知,这里应用不定式作目的状语,故填to reflect。
10.cultural 本题考查形容词。根据语境并分析句子成分可知,这里是作significance的定语,故填cultural。(共58张PPT)

People from Britain and Ireland first came to live in Australia in 1788.They brought different dialects(方言)of English with them.These different kinds of English began to mix and change.The newcomers soon began to speak with their own typical accent(口音) and vocabulary.More and more people came to Australia during the Gold Rush in the 19th and 20th centuries.Some came from Britain and Ireland;others came from non-English speaking countries.Australian English continued to grow and change.
Australian English has also been influenced by American English.During the Second World War,there were many American soldiers staying in Australia.More importantly,American television shows and music have been popular in Australia since the 1950s.
Australians use many words that other English speakers do not use.The famous Australian greeting,for example,is G’day! A native “forest” is called “the bush” and “central Australia” is called “the outback”.Many words were brought to Australia from Britain and Ireland.For example,“mate” means “friend”,and it is still used in Britain.Some of these words have changed in meaning.Some words have come from Australian original languages,many of which are names for animals,plants and places,like “dingo” and “kangaroo”.
Australian spelling comes from British spelling.In words like “organise” and “realise”,-ise is the expected and taught spelling method.In words like “colour” and “favourite”,-our is the normal,but nouns such as the “Labor Party” and “Victor Harbor” are spelled with -or.“Program”,on the other hand,is more common than “programme”.
There are also differences in the definition(定义) of words Australians use in different parts of the country.For example,football means “rugby” in New South Wales and Queensland,but “Australian rules football” in everywhere else in Australia.In New South Wales,a swimming costume is called a “cossie” or “swimmers”,while in Queensland it is called “togs” and “bathers” in Victoria.
语篇导读:这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了澳大利亚英语的来历。1788年,来自英国和爱尔兰的人们第一次来到澳大利亚居住。他们中的许多人来自伦敦这样的大城市,他们带来了许多不同种类的英语,这些不同种类的英语开始混合和变化,新来的人很快就开始用他们自己特有的口音和词汇来说话了。阅读本文,有利于增强学生对澳大利亚英语的了解。

Compared to saving the rainforests,or helping pandas to produce young,linguistic ecology (语言生态) might not seem very exciting.One language is becoming extinct every fortnight—so what “Why should we care ” is a common reaction.Here are a few reasons why you should.
Identity:Many speakers of minority languages are fiercely proud of their language.Language forms an important part of anyone’s identity.Nerys Jenkins in Belfast says,“Telling me not to speak Welsh would be like telling me not to breathe:I just couldn’t do it.” To let someone’s language die out is to let part of their identity die too.
Culture:Language is connected with culture—if a nation loses a language,it may also lose its links with a tradition of jokes,music and literature.Elizabeth MacDonald from Arisaig says Scottish Gaelic is “...our language,the most important part of an ancient culture.It is a culture rich in story,song and poetry,beloved of those familiar with it.”
Knowledge:Languages harbour all kinds of human knowledge—including useful biological or medical information that we might not find out about otherwise.In the Micmac language,for example,trees are named after the sound they make in the wind.The names change as the sounds change,so,if an elderly Micmac speaker remembers that a certain kind of tree used to have one name,but is now called something else,this can show the effects of acid rain on that species.Lose Micmac and you will lose that understanding.
Of the 6,000 or so languages in the world,more than half are expected to die within the next century,and many more are disappearing.It’s estimated (估计) that two languages die out every month.It’s easy to think of dying and extinct languages as just facts and figures,but behind every one,there are real people.The online Ethnologue database,for example,says of one Syrian language:“The last speaker died in 1998.His daughter knows Mlahs well,but is nearly deaf and has no one to speak it to.”
语篇导读:这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了各种语言在现实生活中的作用和面临的危机——有些语言正在以惊人的速度消失。阅读本文,有利于增强学生保护语言的意识。
4.What do Nerys Jenkins’s words suggest
A.He takes pride in his language.
B.He doesn’t know other languages.
C.He can’t find his identity in Wales.
D.He’ll die if not allowed to speak Welsh.
答案及剖析:
4.A 推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段中的“Many speakers of minority languages are fiercely proud of their language.”和“Telling me not to speak Welsh would be like telling me not to breathe:I just couldn’t do it.” 可推知,Nerys Jenkins为自己的语言感到骄傲。故选A。
5.What do we know about language from Paragraph 3
A.It builds a nation’s spirit.
B.It forms a nation’s tradition.
C.It keeps people in touch with culture.
D.It connects people from different nations.
答案及剖析:
5.C 细节理解题。本题考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段中的“Language is connected with culture—if a nation ... a tradition of jokes,music and literature.”可知,语言使人们与文化保持联系。故选C。
6.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Mlahs is no longer in existence.
B.The extinction of languages matters little.
C.Languages die with the disappearance of facts.
D.Languages are disappearing at a surprising speed.
答案及剖析:
6.D 推理判断题。本题考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据最后一段中的“Of the 6,000 or so languages in the world... estimated (估计) that two languages die out every month.”可知,在下个世纪,预计世界上大约6 000种语言中,会有一半以上将消失,并且更多的语言正在消失。据估计,每个月都会有两种语言消失。由此可推知,语言正在以惊人的速度消失。故选D。
Ⅱ.完形填空
