根据语境填上一个合适的词，使句意完整。
【考题1】（改编自2010天津卷）---Can you believe I had to pay 30 dollars for a haircut？
----You should try the barber's ______ I go. It's only $15 .
答案与解析：where。从句谓语动词是不及物动词，先行词指地点，所填关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，并替代先行词the barber’s(理发店)，所以用指地点的关系副词where引导定语从句。句意是：你应该我去的那家理发店试试。
【考题2】（改编自2014陕西卷）Please send us all the information _____you have about the candidate for the position.
答案与解析：that。从句的及物动词have缺少宾语，先行词information被all修饰，不用which，只用that。先行词被all，the only，next，only以及形容词最高级等修饰时，引导定语从句的关系代词用that。故填that。句意：请你把现有的申请这个职位的所有候选人的信息都发给我。

【考题4】（改编自2015年北京卷）Opposite is St. Paul’s Church, you can hear some lovely music.
答案与解析：where。考查非限制性定语从句。先行词是指地点的名词St. Paul’s Church，从句主谓宾成分完整，去掉空后依然是完整的句子，可推断出引导词在从句中作的是地点状语。用关系副词where。故填选where。句意是：对面是圣保罗教堂，在教堂里你能听到一些优美的音乐。

【考题8】（改编自2015年浙江卷）Creating an atmosphere which employees feel part of a team is a big challenge.
答案与解析：in。考查定语从句的“介词+关系代词”结构。这是一个定语从句，in the atmosphere “在氛围中”是一个固定搭配。根据题干的关系代词which确定填介词in。此处in which=where。句意是：创造一种雇员感觉是其中一员的氛围是一个大的挑战。
【考题9】（改编自2015年重庆卷）He wrote many children’ s books, nearly half of____ were published in the 1990s.
答案与解析：which。先行词是 books，定语从句中 介词of缺少宾语，既是非限制性定语从句，也是“介词+关系代词”结构。故填指物的关系代词which。句意:他写了许多儿童书籍，几乎一半在 1990 年左右出版。
【考题10】（改编自2014年福建卷）Students should involve themselves in community activities _______ they can gain experience for growth.
答案与解析：where。考查抽象意义地点名词所跟的关系词。首先分析句子结构，可知这里含有一个定语从句，且关系词在定语从句中的先行词是名词community activities，根据句子的意思 In community activities they can gain experience for growth. 所以可以把先行词看作是一个抽象的地点，那么所填的关系词就在从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词 where。句意是：学生应该参加社团活动，在活动中他们可以获得成长的经验。
【考题11】（改编自2014年山东卷）A company ________ profits from home markets are declining may seek opportunities abroad.

答案与解析：that/which。考查定语从句关系代词。分析句子的结构与意义确定是定语从句，这里 habit 是先行词，which 或 that引导的是定语从句，并且在从句中作主语，不能省略，故填 that/ which。句意是：也许你正面临着一个不可能的情况; 也许你有一个让你的家人抓狂的习惯。
【考题13】（改编自2014年重庆卷）We’ll reach the sales targets in a month ______ we set at the beginning of the year.
答案与解析：which/that。考查定语从句关系代词。分析句子看出是定语从句，所填关系代词在所引导的定语从句中作及物动词set的宾语，根据先行词the sales targets指物确定用关系代词 that或which。句意是：再有一个月就能完成年初制订的销售目标。

答案与解析：when。考查定语从句关系副词。这里先行词是 the fifth grade, 指的是时间，定语从句比较完整，根据先行词和从句的句子成分确定用关系副词 when 引导定语从句，其本身在从句中作时间状语。句意是: 直到五年级，我才成为一个认真的攀岩者，当时我去救一个被卡在树枝上的风筝。
【考题15】（改编自2014年天津卷）English is a language shared by several diverse cultures, each______which uses it differently.
答案与解析：of。考查定语从句“介词+关系代词”。根据句子的逗号和题干的连词which看出后面是非限制性定语从句，先行词是several diverse cultures，根据句意看出是指each of cultures, 所以用介词of，构成“代词+介词+关系代词”结构，类似的如some of which/whom等。故填介词of。句意是：英语是几种不同文化共享的语言，每种文化使用英语的方式都不同。
【考题16】（改编自2014年四川卷）Until now, we have raised 50,000 pounds for the poor children, _________ is quite unexpected.
答案与解析：which。考查非限制性定语从句关系代词。根据句子的逗号看出是非限制性定语从句，引导定语从句的关系代词在定语从句中作主语，指代前面整个句子，所以用引导非限制性定语从句且指物的关系代词，这样可能是which或as有这个功能。再看从句的意思知道unexpected,表示否定的结果,不用关系代词as。故填which。句意是：到目前为止，我们已经为贫困儿童筹集了5万英镑，这是相当出乎意料的。
【考题17】（改编自2014年湖南卷）I am looking forward to the day my daughter can read this book and know my feelings for her.

【考题20】（改编自2012天津卷）I wish to thank Professor Smith, without _______ help I would never have got this far.
答案与解析：whose。考查关系代词引导定语从句。分析句子的结构和意义知道是指“在史密斯教授的帮组下”，因此在help前应该是可以作定语的his/her，再从句子的结构看出需要连词把两个句子连接起来，从逗号的提示可以确定是用引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词，这样就去确定用作定语的关系代词whose。故填whose。句意是：我要感谢史密斯教授，没有他的帮助，我不可能取得今天的成就。
【考题21】（改编自2017天津卷）My eldest son, _______ work takes him all over the world，is in New York at the moment.
答案与解析：whose。考查关系代词引导非限制性定语从句。分析句子的结构看到有两个谓语部分takes...和is...，由此可以判定需要连接句子的连词，再根据句子的意思看出是定语从句，应该表示“他的工作......”，所以用可以表示“......的”作定语的关系代词，先行词My eldest son指人。故填whose。句意是：我的大儿子，因为工作需要走遍世界各地，现在正在纽约。
【考题22】（改编自2013天津卷）We have launched another man-made satellite, ______ is announced in today's newspaper.
答案与解析：which/as。考查关系代词引导非限制性定语从句。根据逗号看出是非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，所以所填的关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词，关系代词代指前面整个句子，由此可以确定用能够引导非限制性定语从句、且先行词指物的关系代词which。此处也可以用as，因为从句在后，二者意义区别不大。句意是：我们又发射了一颗人造卫星，今天的报纸上宣布了这一消息。
【考题23】（改编自2014年江西卷）It was the middle of the night _________ my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game.
答案与解析：when。考查定语从句关系副词。由句子意思分析可知，my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game作定语修饰 the middle of the night定语从句缺少时间状语，用 in which / when 来连接。如果在原题的短语 the middle of the night 前加个介词 in 的话，那么就变成了强调句型(这样去 It was...that三个词，句子意思完整成分齐全。)故填when。句意是：午夜时分，我父亲叫醒我去看足球赛。
【考题24】(改编自2015江苏卷)The number of smokers, _____ is reported, has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.
答案与解析：as。as引导的非限制性定语从句位置灵活，可以置于主句的句首、句中或句末，指代的是“The number of smokers has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.”整个一句话。as is reported是一个常用结构，类似的还有as is known/expected/planned/mentioned/said等。as和which在定语从句都可以指代一句话，但前者有“正如……”的意思，后者则没有。故填as。句意是：据报道，吸烟者人数仅（过去）一年就减少了17%。
【考题25】（改编自2009天津卷）A person ______ e-mail account is full won't be able to send or receive any e-mails.

【考题26】（XXXX广东语法填空）Behind him were other people to he was trying to talk, but after some minutes they walked away and sat near me, looking annoyed.
答案与解析：whom。根据介词to看出是“介词+关系代词”结构，不可以用who和that。定语从句的先行词people指人，所以用作宾语的关系代词whom。句意是：他的身后是他想与之交谈的其他人，但几分钟后，他们走开了，坐在我旁边，看起来很恼火。
【考题27】（改编自XXXX北京卷）I live next door to a couple children often make a lot of noise.
答案与解析：whose 。定语从句的主语children前面缺少作定语的限定词，根据句子意思看出是their children，因此用连接定语从句的关系代词 whose。句意是：我住在一对夫妇的隔壁，他们的孩子经常制造很大的噪音。
【考题28】（XXXX年广东卷）The next day, my brother and I went to the beach we watched some people play volleyball.
答案与解析：where。本句是一个定语从句，先行词是the beach，后面的定语从句we watched some people play volleyball.的句子结构很完整，所以要使用关系副词来引导定语从句，先行词beach是指地点的名词，所以用where。句意是：第二天，我和哥哥去了海滩，在那里我们看了一些人打排球。
【考题29】（改编自XXXX天津卷）We will put off the picnic in the park until next week, ____ the weather may be better.
答案与解析：when。先行词是指时间的名词week，从句是完整的主系表结构，所以用作时间状语的关系副词when。句意是：我们将把公园野餐推迟到下星期，那时天气可能会好一些。
【考题30】（XXXX全国新课标III卷）Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, ______ lived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C., influenced the development of chopsticks.
答案与解析：who。由逗号看出是非限制性定语从句，先行词Confucius指人，考虑到虽然that可以指人但是不用于非限制性定语从句，而且关系词在从句中作主语，所以用who。句意是：一些人认为伟大的中国学者孔子(47岁，大约生活在公元前551年至公元前479年)影响了筷子的发展。
【考题31】 (改编自XXXX浙江卷.11）Scientists have advanced many theories about why human beings cry tears, none of _______ have been proved.
答案与解析：which。根据prove看出空白处应该指代前面的theories，确定是定语从句，结合逗号确定是非限制性定语从句，关系代词that不可以用于“介词+关系代词”或非限制性定语从句中，what不引导定语从句，whom指人，which指物。故填which。句意是：关于人类为什么哭泣，科学家们提出了许多理论，但没有一个得到证实。
【考题32】（XXXX年全国卷II）There were many people waiting at the bus stop, ______ some of them looked very anxious and disappointed.
答案与解析：and。横线前后均是一个完整的句子，两个句子间没连词，也没分号或句号，填连词；根据句意和两句之间的逻辑关系看出是递进的并列关系，用and。其中and some of them= some of whom。句意是：有很多人在公共汽车站等车，其中一些人看起来很焦虑和失望。
【考题33】（改编自XXXX湖南卷21）It was when we were returning home ________ I realized what a good feeling it was to have helped someone in trouble.
答案与解析：that。此句是It was…开头且去掉It was，可以还原成一个意义完整的句子，故判断此句是一个强调句，强调when we were returning home。不要误以为是定语从句而误用where。句意是：在我们回家的路上，我才意识到帮助了有困难的人是一种多么美好的感觉。
【考题34】 (改编自NMETXXXX) ______ is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month.
答案与解析：As。本题考查引导的非限制性定语从句。分析句子的结构看出是一个复合句，需要连词连接句子，关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句，且可以置于句首，关系代词as代指后面整个句子。故填as。容易误填It或Which，it不能连接句子，which引导非限制性定语从句不能置于句首。句意是：众所周知，月球每个月绕地球运行一次。
【考题35】（XXXX全国新课标I卷）I’d skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River are pictured by artists in so many Chinese paintings.
答案与解析：that/which。先行词the Li River虽然是指地点的名词，但是定语从句中的关系词作定语从句的主语，先行词是指物的名词，所以用关系代词that/which。句意是：我错过了附近的桂林，这里是游客们的梦想之地，他们向往石灰岩的山顶和漓江的深不可测的水域，这些都是中国画家在许多中国画中描绘的。
【考题36】（改编自XXXX天津卷）Helen was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others, _______, of course, made the others envy him.
答案与解析which。首先将of course 这种插入语还有其左右两个逗号都去掉，由于others后有一个逗号，觉得了这个定语从句只能是非限制性定语从句，能引导非限制性的有who和which，现在就要搞清楚这个引导词究竟是指人还是指物（或事情），结合句意，让其他的人嫉妒的是人还是事呢 明显是一件事：海伦对幼子要远远好于对其他人，在这which指代了前面整个句子, 整件事。另外也可以看出which所在的定语从句是“主＋谓＋宾＋补”结构。句意：海伦对她最小的儿子比对其他人仁慈得多，当然，这让其他的儿子嫉妒。
【考题37】（改编自XXXX浙江卷）I have reached a point in my life ______ I am supposed to make decisions of my own.
答案与解析：where。考查定语从句的关系词的用法。根据题干提供的信息本题考查定语从句，先行词是point"转折点"，先行词point与所填引导定语从句的关系词被in my life隔开。把先行词point还原放入定语从句I am supposed to make decisions of my own中, 不能单独充当某一成分，不过可以加入介词at, 构成状语at a point，意思是“在一个阶段”，在定语从句中明显充当（引申的）地点状语，所以关系词应该选用at which（即at a point），或直接使用关系副词where。句意：我已经到了我人生的转折点上，（在这个阶段）我应该做出自己的决定。
【考题38】He was blown off course and found himself in an unknown land, from _______ he eventually reached Greenland.
答案与解析：where。考查定语从句的“介词+关系副词”。分析句子发现前句有并列的谓语动词was blown off course and found，后句reached也是谓语动词，这样就是两个句子。再根据句子的逗号确定用连词才可以把句子连接起来。再看句子的意思知道该用定语从句，从from的提示看出应该指from there，there就是in an unknown land，由于需要连词，所以用where代替there，即用from where引导非限制性定语从句。故填where。句意是：他被吹离了航线，发现自己到了一个未知的地方，从那里他最终到达了格陵兰岛。
【考题39】（改编自XXXX浙江卷）The settlement is home to nearly 1,000 people, many of left their village homes for a better life in the city.
答案与解析：whom。考查定语从句的“介词+关系代词”结构。由句中的逗号和many of ，分析句子知道要用连词连接句子，而且这个连词就是指代前面nearly 1,000 people词，所以是引导定语从句的关系代词whom。先行词是“1,000 people”，表示人，故用whom。句意为：这里居住着将近1000人，他们中的许多人都背井离乡去城市追求更好的生活。句意是：该定居点居住着近1000人，其中许多人离开了农村的家，到城市过上了更好的生活。
【考题40】 (改编自XXXX上海卷) Wind power is an ancient source of energy which we may return in the near future.
答案与解析：to。考查定语从句的“介词+关系代词”。根据题干所给的关系代词which和句子的意思可以看出是“介词+关系代词”结构，关键是从句不及物动词return与哪个介词搭配，短语return to的意思是“回到, 恢复”。故填to。句意是：风能是我们在不久的将来恢复利用的一种古老的能源。
【考题40】 (改编自XXXX 重庆卷）Human facial expressions differ from those of animals in the degree ______which they can be controlled on purpose.
答案与解析：to。考查定语从句“介词+关系代词”结构。在本句中先行词为degree, 将其代入定语从句后应为: They (Human facial expressions)can be controlled on purpose to a degree，其中to a degree的意思是 partly, not very much “部分地, 有点, 在某种程度上”。故填介词to。句意: 人的面部表情在某种程度上不同于动物的面部表情, 人类在某种程度上可以有意地控制自己的面部表情。
【考题41】 (改编自XXXX上海春招卷）Is this the reason ______he explained at the meeting for his carelessness in his work
答案与解析：that/which。本题由于先行词是reason，不少考生想当然地用why作为正确答案。为什么呢？我们要先从定语从句的谓语动词看起，那么就会发现谓语动词explain是及物动词，而这个及物动词没有宾语，由此可以推断出所填的关系词作定语从句的宾语，先行词指物，所以用关系代词that或which。句意是：这就是他在会上解释他工作粗心的原因吗？
【考题42】 (改编自XXXX四川卷）She’ll never forget her stay there ________ she found her son who had gone missing two years before.
答案与解析：when。考查定语从句关系副词。her stay为先行词，可以理解为抽象的一段时间（她呆在那里期间），when指代her stay在定语从句中作时间状语，关系副词when相当于during which。故填when。句意是：她永远也忘不了她在那儿逗留期间, 在那时她找到了两年前走失的儿子。
【考题43】At last I passed the final examination, _______which I was proud. So it was with my parents and teachers.
答案与解析：of。考查定语从句的“介词+关系代词”结构。定语从句包含短语be proud of“以……而骄傲（自豪）”，句中的介词of属于短语be proud of，根据题干的关系代词 which看出是“介词+关系代词”结构。故填介词which。本题句意是：最后我通过了期末考试，我为此感到自豪。我的父母和老师也是如此。
【考题44】（改编自XXXX湖南卷）I've become good friends with several of the students in my school _______ I met in the English speech contest last year.
答案与解析：who/whom。根据句意看出是定语从句，先行词是指人的名词several of the students，不要误以为my school是先行词，这样的定语从句是分割性定语从句，一定要找准先行词。从句的谓语动词met是及物动词，但是它没有宾语，所以用关系代词。根据题意看出遇见的不是学校，而应该是学生，因此指人的名词students是先行词，所填的关系代词指人并且在所引导的定语从句中作及物动词met的宾语。故填who/whom。本题不宜填that，虽然也可以指人，但是如果用that则这个分割从句容易误解school为先行词。句意是：在去年英语演讲比赛中我遇见的我们学校的同学, 有不少跟我成了好朋友。
【考题45】（改编自2013山东卷) Finally he reached a lonely island _______ was completely cut off from the outside world.
答案与解析：which/that。句中的先行词a lonely island 在后面的定语从句中作主语，先行词是指物的名词，故用which/that 引导。因先行词是地点名词短语a lonely island，学生很容易误选where来引导定语从句而不去分析先行词在句中所作的成分。句意：最后他到达了一个完全与外部世界隔绝的孤岛上。
【考题46】（改编自XXXX全国卷Ⅱ）I refuse to accept the blame for something ________was someone else’s fault.
答案与解析：that。分析句子的结构和句意看出是定语从句，从句缺少主语，所以用关系代词引导定语从句，先行词是指物的不定代词something，关系代词用that而不是which。句意为：我拒绝接受因为别人犯的错而给予的责备。【提示】解有关定语从句关系代词考题时，要注意先行词，当先行词是下列不定代词或被它们修饰时much，little，none，all，few，something，every（thing），any（thing），no（thing）等时，通常用that；引导限制性定语从句时，在such，so，the same后只能用as，as引导非限制性定语从句时，先行词通常不能是主句中某个具体的词，而应是整个句子、整个短语或某个短语推断出来的概念。
【考题47】（改编自XXXX湖北卷) What surprised me was not what he said but the way______ he said it.
答案与解析：that。此处the way后面是定语从句，从句主谓宾完整不缺主要成分，因此考虑到引导定语从句的关系副词。此处是一个比较特殊的情况，当way作先行词，在引导的定语从句中做方式状语时根据in this way的搭配用in which，口语中可以用that代替in which，也可以省掉that。省掉了引导词that，即相当于the way (in which/ that）。故填that。
【考题48】（改编自上海XXXX春）These houses are sold at such a low price ______ people expected.
答案与解析：as。考查定语从句。本句用一个定语从句修饰a low price，从句中谓语动词expect是及物动词，缺宾语，因而用关系代词；由于先行词a low price有such这一词，such和as可构成一固定结构，such…as…后面的as可作为关系代词引出一定语从句。句意：故填as。句意是：这些房子以人们所期望的那么低的价格出售。
【考题49】（改编自XXXX福建卷）Stephen Hawking believes that earth is unlikely to be the only planet _____ life has developed gradually.
答案与解析：where。考查定语从句关系词。先行词为planet，表示地点，从句是“主语+不及物动词”，不需要宾语，用关系副词，再结合先行词是指地点的名词。故用where。有同学可能以为先行词被the only修饰了，只用that不用which，但是要注意的是这里不是用关系代词，解题的第一步是分析句子，看看关系词在所引导的定语从句中到底做什么成分，然后再看先行词确定具体的关系词。句意是：史蒂芬·霍金认为，地球不太可能是唯一一个生命逐渐发展的星球。
【考题50】（改编自XXXX浙江卷）Scientists have advanced many theories about the reason _______ human beings cry tears, none of which have been proved.
【答案与解析】why。考查定语从句关系副词。先行词是reason，后面的human beings cry tears表示的是结果，而且从句不缺主要成分，所以用关系副词why表示原因。故填why。句意是：关于人类哭泣的原因，科学家们提出了许多理论，但没有一个得到证实。
