三、Grammar
【语法】A. 什么叫定语?
定语可以由形容词、代词、数词、名词、分词、不定式、介词短语等来担任,修饰名词。
1.a beautiful girl (beautiful是前置定语,放在名词前)
2. the film directed by Zhang Yimou (directed by Zhang Yimou是过去分词短语作后置定语)
3. the book on the desk (on the desk 是介词短语作后置定语,放在名词后)
4.the boy standing under the tree (standing under the tree是现在分词短语作后置定语)
5. apple trees (apple是名词作前置定语)
6. his book (his 是形容词性物主代词作前置定语)
7. three apples (three是现数词作前置定语)
8. I have much homework to do. (to do 是动词不定式作后置定语)
下面以分词、介词短语为例:
①The girl behind the tree is Kate.
②The man driving too fast is a drunk(醉汉).
提醒:大多数后置定语可以改为定语从句。
【语法】B. 限制性定语从句(Defining relative clauses) 相关概念
定语从句的有关概念:在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫做定语从句。(定语从句要用陈述句语序)
如:1)The man who/that lives next to us is a policeman.(关系代词如果在定语从句中做主语,要注意从句中的谓语动单复数要与先行词一致)
2)You must do everything that I do.
在上面两句中的 man 和everything 是定语从句所修饰的词,叫先行词。定语从句放在先行词后面。
引导定语从句的关系词有关系代词:that , which ,who (宾格whom ,所有格whose )和关系副词where, when .关系词(关系代词或关系副词)放在先行词和定语从句之间,起联系作用,同时又作定语从句的一个成分。也就是说关系词有三个作用:
1.引导定语从句。 2.代替先行词在其引导的定语从句中充当一定的句子成分。
3.连接主句和从句。
例: ①The girl (who is behind the tree) is Kate.
②The man (who is driving too fast) is a drunk.
【语法】C. 有关系代词引导的定语从句。
关系代词 例句
That在从句中作主语或宾语(作宾语时that 可省略) 指物 1.A plane is a machine that can fly. (作主语) 2.The noodles (that) I cooked were delicious. (作宾语)
指人 1.Who is the man that is reading the book over there (作主语) 2.The girl (that) we saw yesterday was Jim’s sister. (作宾语)
Which在从句中作主语或宾语(作宾语时可省略) 指物 1.The silk which is produced in Hangzhou sells well. (作主语) 2.The songs(which)Liu Dehua sang were very popular. (作宾语)
Who, whom在从句中分别作主语和宾语(如果介词放在从句后面,则whom可以省略) 指人 1.The man who visited our class yesterday is from Canada. (作主语) 2.The boy who broke the window is called Roy. (作主语) 3.The person to whom you just talked is Mr Li. (作宾语) 4.Mrs White is the person to whom you should write. (作宾语)
Whose 在从句中作定语,指物时相当于of which 指人或物的所有格 1.I like the girl whose hair is long. (作定语) 2.I live in the house the windows of which are closed. = I live in the house whose windows are closed.
(从表中可以看出:用that 更有通用性)
但是:1)在非限制性定语从句中不能用 that
2) 在介词后面不能用that
3)先行词是代人的不定代词如those, somebody时不能用that
【语法】D. 有关系副词引导的定语从句:(只作了解)
1.先行词是表示地点的名词时(country, school, room…),而关系词代替先行词在定语从句中充当地点状语,一般用where引导定语从句。也可以用介词+which的结构。值得注意的是which前介词的选择是根据先行词与介词的搭配关系而定。
The room where(=in which)he used to live has now been turned into a museum..
The desk where(=on which)I put my bag is his.
This is the school where(=in which)I joined the Party.
2.先行词是表示时间的名词(year, month, day, night…),而关系词代替先行词在定语从句中充当时间状语,一般用when引导定语从句。也可以用介词+which的结构。值得注意的是which前介词的选择是根据先行词与介词的搭配关系而定。
The day when(=on which) he was born was Aug.20,1952
The year when (=in which) he died was 1982.
比较:1)This is the school which I visited last year.
2) This is the school in which (where) I stayed last year.
3. 先行词如果the reason,表示原因,则定语从句用why = for which来引导。
This is the reason why I was late for school.
【语法】E. 定语从句分类(只作了解)
定语从句分为:限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句(又称描述性定语从句)。
1、限制性定语从句与先行词关系密确,对它有限制作用,因此不可缺少,否则会影响全句的意思,限制性定语从句前面一般不用逗号。
例What is the name of the boy who brought us the letter
2、非限制性定语从句只与先行词有一种松散的修饰关系,在口语中用停顿的方法表示,在书面语中用逗号分开,因此从句中的关系代词不能省略。一般用which ,who, where等来引导非限制性定语从句,而不用that 来引导非限制性定语从句。
例①I like to talk with John, who is a clever man.
例②Water, which is a clear liquid (液体),has many uses.
【语法】F. 关于that ;which 用法请注意(只作了解)
①先行词(物)之前有all, every, any, no ,little, much, few 等词修饰时,或者其本身为all, ,everything, something ,nothing, anything, none;the one;much, few, any, little等不定代词,定语从句that用引导,不能用which。(如果先行词是指人的不定代词,则关系代词用who/whom,不用that 和which)
Is there anything that you want to explain
Everyone who heard her sad story was moved to tears.
②先行词(物)前有形容词最高级、序数词或only, very, the first, the last, the same表示“惟一”观念的形容词等修饰时,定语从句用that引导,不能用which.
This is the only reason that I can say.
This is the first step that can be taken.
It is the best one that you may choose.
③ 当主句中有who, which时,而定语从句中也要用到who或which时,为了避免who…who, which…which等重叠,定语从句用that引导。
Who is the man that is standing by the door
Which of the two cows that you keep produces more milk
④先行词为人和物作并列成分时,定语从句用that引导。
John and his dog that were here a moment ago disappear now.
⑤不论人或物在定语从句中作表语时,用that引导定语从句,而that通常省掉。
He is no longer the man that he was.
⑥先行词是一个短语或者是一个句子时,关系代词用 which (大多数情况是非限制性定语从句)
He missed the train ,which annoyed (使......恼火) him very much .
【语法】G. 宾语从句、主语从句与定语从句区分。
定语从句中常用到that/which/who/whom等关系代词作主语或宾语;而在宾语从句或者主语、表语等从句中(特殊疑问句作宾语从句或主语从句时),常用到what / whom 等疑问代词作主语或宾语。
如:1) We believe what she said. (宾从,不能用that 来换what)
We believe anything/the words that/which she said. (定从)
2) I don’t know the girl whom/that I met yesterday.(定从)
3) I don’t know whom the girl likes. (宾从,不能用that)
4) What he said surprised me . (主从,不能用that))

【详解】句意:——《长津湖》,一部180分钟的电影,给我们很大的触动。——是的。这真的是一个巨大的成功,它提高了我们的爱国主义意识。
考查冠词。the表示特指;a表示泛指,用在以辅音音素开头的单词前。空格一表示泛指,意为“一部80分钟的电影”,180-minute辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a;第二句中success表示“一次巨大的成功”,此处success是抽象名词具体化,是可数名词,great辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a修饰。故选C。

考查形容词辨析。rude粗鲁的;exciting令人兴奋的;perfect完美的;natural正常的。根据“It’s...to have butterflies in your stomach before an exam.”可知,马上要期末考试了,考试前学生一般都会紧张,这是很正常的,可推测此处是考试前紧张是很正常的,It’s+adj+to do sth表示“做某事是……的”,空处需填形容词,natural“正常的”符合语境。故选D。

A. can’t B. can C. mustn’t D. must
【答案】D
【详解】句意:——我正在度过黑暗的日子。——不要灰心。你这么辛苦一定有原因的。

【详解】句意:——你能告诉我怎样才能提高我的英语吗 ——通过更加努力地学习。
考查宾语从句。根据Could you tell me _____ 可知本题考查宾语从句,宾语从句应该用陈述句语序,所以排除D选项;根据答语By working harder.可知这里应该是问如何才能提高英语,所以A、B选项语意不通,排除;故答案选C。

Still he was never satisfied with what he wrote. One day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you something and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach out your hands.” Only half believing, Wang reached out his hand. The old man wrote a character in his hand and said with a nod. “Now, you will be a calligrapher.” With this. he disappeared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw a character “永”.
