关系代词引导的定语从句
一、定语从句的含义
1. 在主从复合句中,对某一名词或代词起修饰作用的从句叫定语从句。被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词,引导定语从句的词叫关系词。
2. 关系词分为关系代词(that, which, who, whom, whose, as等)和关系副词(when, where, why等)两类。
3. 根据定语从句与先行词的关系,可将定语从句分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。一般说来,限制性定语从句是整个句子不可缺少的部分,如果省略会影响全句的主要意思,这种定语从句前面不用逗号隔开;而非限制性定语从句的作用是对所修饰的成分作进一步说明, 通常和主句用逗号隔开。
二、关系代词的基本用法
1.who指人,在定语从句中可以充当主语、宾语或表语。
◆Danny was a man who we rescued from the ruins.
丹尼是我们从废墟中救出来的一个人。(作宾语)
◆He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.
不到长城非好汉。(作does not reach的主语)
2.whom指人,在定语从句中作宾语,可省略,也可用who代替。
◆This is the famous scientist (whom) we visited last week. (作visited的宾语)
◆The boy (who/whom) the teacher often praises is their monitor.
老师经常表扬的那个男孩是他们的班长。
3.whose既可以指人,也可以指物,表示“所属”关系,whose在定语从句中作定语。
◆They rushed over to help the man whose car broke down.
他们跑过去帮助那个汽车抛锚的人。(whose car=the man’s car,作定语,修饰car)
◆Any student whose family is too poor to go to school can get help from the government.
任何由于家境贫寒而上不起学的学生都可以得到政府的帮助。(修饰人)
4.which指事物,在定语从句中作主语或宾语,作宾语时可省略。
◆He finally worked out the problem which puzzled him for a long time.
他最后解出了这个令他困惑很久的问题。(作puzzled的主语)
◆The radio (which) he bought yesterday doesn’t work.
他昨天买的收音机坏了。(作宾语)
◆This is the house in which I once lived.
这是我曾经住过的房子。(作介词in的宾语)
5.that既可指人,也可指物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语,作宾语时可省略。习惯上指人多用who,whom,指物多用which。
◆The fish (that/which) we bought yesterday were not fresh.
我们昨天买的鱼不新鲜。(作bought的宾语)
◆This is the novel that interests me.
这就是让我感兴趣的那本小说。(指物,作主语)
◆The number of people that/who come to visit this city each year reaches one million. 每年来参观这座城市的人数达100万。(that指人,作主语)
三、判断定语从句的关系代词的方法
如果名词或代词后有一个句子,并且该名词或代词在句子中充当成分,则该句子就是定语从句。主要按照以下三步来判断:
1.找准先行词(定语从句前的名词或代词)。
2.把先行词还原到定语从句中,看充当什么成分。
3.根据先行词在定语从句中所充当的成分以及句意来选用适当的引导词。
如果先行词在从句中作主语,宾语,定语,表语,则用关系代词,关系代词主要有who, whom ,whose, that, which, as。
四、易混淆的关系代词辨析
(一)that 和 which
1.用that,不用which的情况 ①当先行词为不定代词:everything, anything, nothing, all, any, much, many, some, few, little, none等或当先行词被no, some, any, all, much, little等词修饰时,只能用that。 To get the job started, all that I need is your permission.要开始工作,我所需要的是你的许可。 Is there anything that I can do for you 有什么要我做的事吗 He answered few questions that were asked by the reporters.他几乎没有回答记者提问的问题。
②当先行词被the only, the very, the same等词修饰时。 That’s the only thing that we can do now.目前我们只能这样了。 This is the very pen that I am looking for. 这正是我找的钢笔。 He still lives in the same house that we visited ten years ago. 他还住在十年前我们参观的同一座房子里。
③当先行词被序数词、形容词最高级修饰时。 This was one of the most interesting books that were sold in this book store.这是这家书店售出的最有趣的书之一。 The first thing that should be done is to get some food.该做的第一件事是弄点吃的。
④当先行词中同时包括人和物时。 I’m going to talk about the countries and people that I have visited. 我要谈论一下我所访问的国家和人民。
⑤当要避免与疑问词which重复时。 Which is the T-shirt that fits me most 那件体恤衫最适合我?
2.用which,不用that的情况 ①在非限制性定语从句中 Football, which is an interesting game, is played all over the world. 全世界都踢足球,它是一项有趣的运动。
②介词提前时,不用that,而用which,介词不提前时,用that和which都可。 This is the room in which my father lived last year. = This is the room (that/ which) my father lived in last year. 这是我父亲去年居住过的房子。
(二)which和 as(引导非限制定语从句,指代整个主句内容)
1.位置上的区别: as引导的从句可放在主句首、句末或句中。而which引导的从句只能放在主句之后。 As is known to us all, the earth turns around the sun. The earth, as is known to us all, turns around the sun. The earth turns around the sun, as /which is known to us all. 众所周知,地球绕着太阳转。
2.语义的区别: as有“正如”之意,因此主句和从句语义一致,而which表示“这一点” 在意义上相当于一个并列句,可以用and this代替,在语义上可以不一致。 Mike won the first prize, as was expected. 正如所料想的, 迈克获得了一等奖。 Mike won the first prize, which was not expected. 迈克获得了一等奖,这一点没被料想到。
五、as引导的定语从句的用法
(一)as引导的定语从句
1. 在限制性定语从句中,先行词有such, so, as, the same修饰时,引导词用as。 比较: I have never read the book that you have talked about. 我从未读过你谈到的这本书。 I have never read such an interesting book as you have talked about. = I have never read so/ as interesting a book as you have talked about. 我从未读过像你谈到的这样有趣的书。
2. 在非限制性定语从句中,指代整个主句内容。 As we know, she is a good teacher. 我们都知道她是一个好老师。 Lily, as we expected, won the first prize in the competition yesterday. 像我们所期望的那样, 莉莉在昨天的比赛中获得了一等奖。
(二)易混句式辨析
1. such/ so…as…和such/ so…that…
①such/so…as…表“像……这样的……”,用来引导定语从句(as在从句中充当主、宾或表语等) ②such/so…that…表示“如此..以致……”,用来引导结果状语从句。 This is such a heavy stone as no one can lift.(作lift的宾语,是定语从句) This is such a heavy stone that no one can lift it. (不缺成分,是结果状语从句) 这是一块如此重的石头,没人能搬得动。
2. the same…as…和the same…that…
①the same…as…表示“类似的一个,而不是同一个”(相似性) ②the same…that…表示“同一个”(同一性) I have bought the same watch as you have. 我买了一块和你的一样的手表。(相似的,非同一个) This is the same watch that I lost. 这就是我丢的那块手表。(同一个)

二、七选五
Would you know what to do if a fire started in your home Take the time now to review the following safety tips, and your family will be prepared in time of a fire in your home:
21.
An escape plan can help every member of a family get out of a burning house. The idea is to get outside quickly and safely. 22. So it is important to learn and remember the different ways out of your home.
Stay low
If you can see smoke in the house, stay low to the ground as you make your way to the exit. 23. You will breathe less smoke if you stay to the ground. Smoke naturally rises, so if there is smoke while you are using your escape route,staying low means you can crawl (爬) under most of it.
What if you can’t get out right away
If you can’t get out fast because fire or smoke is stopping an escape route, you will want to yell for help. You can do this from an open window or call 911 if you have a phone with you. 24. Then, firefighters will have a hard time finding you. The sooner they find you, the sooner you both can get out.
If your clothes catch fire, what should you do
Your clothes could catch fire during a fire or by accident if you step too close to a candle. If this happens, don’t run! Instead, stop, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands, and roll. This will cut off the air and put out the flames. 25.
A.An easy way to remember this is: Stop, Drop, and Roll!
B.Smoke from a fire can make it hard to see where things are.
C.Preventing fires is in the first place!
D.Know your way out
E.They will help prepare you for what you need to do in case of a fire.
F.Even if you are scared, never hide under the bed or in a closet.
G.In a fire, smoke and poisonous (有毒的) air hurt more people, than the actual flames (火焰) do.
三、阅读选择
A
After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends. Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly, while others will have to contend with the destruction of their homes, medical problems, and injury to family members. Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.
Children often turn to adults for information, comfort and help. Parents should try to remain calm, answer children’s questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children’s behavior.
Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences. Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往), while others will have angry outbursts (爆发). Parents should remain sensitive to each child’s reactions. Parents should spend time talking to their children,letting them know that it’s OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them. They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most importantly, be sure to tell them you love them.
26.The underlined phrase “contend with” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “________”.
A.deal with B.make up C.put off D.turn back
27.When children ask the same question again, parents should ________.
A.read a favorite story to comfort them
B.ask them to help do some housework
C.be patient and answer the question again
D.take them out to play games
28.Which of the following pieces of advice is NOT mentioned in the passage
A.Keep a close watch on children’s behavior.
B.Tell the children they are safe.
C.Tell the children you love them.
D.Ask educational experts for help.
29.What can we know from the passage
A.All people will recover from an earthquake quickly.
B.Children may need a longer time to recover after an earthquake.
C.Children should turn to their classmates for help after an earthquake.
D.Children react in the same way as adults do to an earthquake.

Mrs Woo said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.
