定语从句
定语从句在句中做定语,修饰一个名词或代词,被修饰的名词词组或代词即先行词。定语从句通常
出现在先行词之后,由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。
关系代词有:who, whom, whose, that, which等。
关系副词有:when, where, why等。
热点一 考查非限定性定语从句
【相关考例】例1. The road conditions there turned out to be very good, _______was more than we could expect.(全国卷II,16)A. it B. what C.which D. that
例2. The science museum, _____ we visited during a recent trip to Britain, is one of London’s tourist attractions.(江苏卷,24)A. which B. what C. that D. where
例3. I’ll give you my home address, ______ I can be reached most evenings. (北京卷,28)
A. which B.when C. whom D. where
例4. They’ll fly to Washington, ______ they plan to stay for two or three days. (重庆卷,21)
A. where B. there C.which D.when
【答案与解析】1.C 2.A 3.D 4.A 例1中的关系代词which在非限定性定语从句中作主语,which指代前面整个句子的内容;例2中的关系代词which在句中作动词visit的宾语,which就修饰它前面的先行词;例3因该句中需要副词作状语,又是修饰address, 故用where, 此句意为“我打算把我的地址告诉你,大多数晚上你都能联系上我”;例4中非限定性定语从句缺少地点状语,故选A.。【归纳与点拨】
⑴根据在定语从句中所作的成分来确定所需要的关系代词或关系副词,若作主语、宾语或表语就用which/who/whom, 若作状语就用when/where.
⑵关系代词that和关系副词why 不能引导非限定性定语从句。
⑶which 引导非限定性定语从句有时指代前一个分句所表达的内容。

热点二 考查容易和定语从句混淆的各种句型
【相关考例】例5. _____ is known to us all is that the 2008 Olympic Games will take place in Beijing.(福建卷,
27)A. It B. What C. As D. Which
例6. The companies are working together to create ______ they hope will be the best means of

例7. Tomorrow is Tom’s birthday. Have you got any idea _____ the party is to be held (陕西卷,8)

A. when B. until C. that D. where
例9. It was along the Mississippi River ______ Mark Twain spent much of his childhood.(天津卷,8)
A. how B. which C. that D. where
【答案与解析】5.B 6.C 7.D 8.A 9.C 例5为what引导的主语从句,粗心的同学有可能去选择It 或As;例6为what引导的宾语从句,且what 在从句中作主语,有些同学可能错选which或that;例7为where引导的同位语从句,而不是定语从句;例8为when引导的时间状语从句,意为“当每个人都就坐后,还有一些椅子剩下”;例9为强调句。
【归纳与点拨】
⑴名词性从句、同位语从句、状语从句、强调句等都很容易和定语从句混淆。
⑵定语从句和前面的名词是修饰与被修饰的关系,同位语从句是用来说明前面的名词的内容,这样的名词有fact/idea/news/belief/truth/reply等,that在定语从句中作成分,而在同位语从句中不充当任何成分,只起连接作用。
⑶定语从句和强调句混合在一起考查时注意有省略现象。

热点三 考查 “介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
【相关考例】例10. For many cities in the world, there is no room to spend out further, ______ New York is an example.(四川卷,4)A. for which B. in which C. of which D. from which
例11. By nine o’clock, all the Olympic torch bearers had reached the top of Mount Qomolangma, ______ appeared a rare rainbow soon.(福建卷,31)
A. of which B. on which C. from which D. above which
【答案与解析】10.C 11.D 例10中的介词和定语从句中的名词构成固定搭配,有一定的所属关系,即New York is an example of this.例11中的定语从句为倒装句,可还原为:A rare rainbow soon appeared above Mount Qomolangma.故选用介词above.
【归纳与点拨】
⑴在“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句中,关系代词指人时用whom,指物时用which.
⑵介词的选取根据该介词和定语从句中的动词、形容词、名词等的固定搭配。
⑶某些在从句中充当时间、地点或原因状语的“介词+关系代词”结构可以同关系副词when/where/why互换。
⑷介词若放后关系代词可用that,which或who 引导。
⑸有一些不能拆开的短语动词如look after, pay attention to, take care of. depend on等。

热点四 考查“名词/代词/数词……+ of + 关系代词”引导的定语从句
例12. The man pulled out a good watch, _______ were made of small diamonds.(陕西卷,13)
A. the hands of whom B. whom the hands of

例13.The growing speed of a plant is influenced by a number of factors, _______ are beyond our control.(湖南卷,31)
A. most of them B. most of which C. most of what D. most of that
【答案与解析】12.D 13.B 例12题考查由“ 名词+ of +关系代词”引导的定语从句,因先行词是物(watch),故不能用A, 所以选D, the hands of which也可以用whose hands 代替。例13题意为“植物的生长速度受很多因素的影响,其中大部分因素不是我们能控制的”,此处的which指代前面整个句子的内容,故选B.
【归纳与点拨】
⑴由“名词/代词/数词……+ of +关系代词”引导的定语从句和“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句一样,关系代词指人用whom, 指物用which.
⑵ 由“名词+关系代词”引导的定语从句可转换成“whose +名词”引导的定语从句。如:Do you know the girl, the name of whom is Pao Pao.此处的the name of whom可换成whose name 或of whom the name.
⑶此种类型的定语从句还可以转换成并列句,如:He has two daughters, both of whom are teachers.此句可以转换成:He has two daughters and both of them are teachers.
【巩固练习】1. We shouldn’t spend our money testing so many people, most of ______ are healthy.

热点五 考查先行词和定语从句的“隔离”现象
例14. Occasions are quite rare ______ I have the time to spend a day with my kids.(山东卷,26)
A. who B. which C.why D. when
例15. Later in this chapter cases will be introduced to readers ______ consumer complanits have resulted in changes in the law.(江西卷,35)A. where B. when C. who D. which
【答案与解析】14.D 15. A 例14中的先行词为occasions意为“场合,时刻”, 故定语从句的引导词用when, 句意为“我有时间和孩子们呆上一天的时刻很少。例15中的先行词为cases, 意为“事例”,为特殊先行词,需要where引导定语从句,句意为“在这一章的后面,由消费者抱怨导致改变法律的事例将向读者介绍”。
【归纳与点拨】
⑴因定语从句过长,为使句子保持平衡,常将定语从句和其所修饰的的先行词分开,此时,找到定语从句的先行词是关键。
⑵有时使用插入语如 I think, of course, believe it or now, you know等将定语从句和先行词分开,此时可忽略该插入语,这样可以使该句变得容易而简单。

例16. Later in this chapter cases will be introduced to readers ______ consumer complanits have
resulted in changes in the law.(江西卷,35)
A. where B. when C. who D. which
【答案与解析】A. 该题除了考查定语从句的“隔离”现象外,还考查特殊先行词case引导的定语从句,一般用where或in which 引导。
【归纳与解析】
⑴英语中一些特殊先行词,如:case, point, situation, job, occasion, activity, business等引导定语从句时,定语从句的引导词常用where, 也可以换成in which.
⑵当先行词为way 时,定语从句可以用that/in which引导,还可以省略。

热点七 考查限定性定语从句
例17. All the neighbors admire this family ______ the parents are treating their children like a friend.
(安徽卷,26)A. why B. where C. which D. that
【答案与解析】B 根据句意:所有的邻居都羡慕父母把他们的孩子当朋友对待的家庭。该定语从句中确少状语,故选where, 相当于in which.即in the family.
【归纳与点拨】
⑴引导限定性定语从句的关系词的选择要根据该关系词在定语从句中所作的成分而定:若作主语、宾语或表语,就用关系代词that/which/who/whom,若作定语就用关系代词whose,若作状语就用关系副词when/where/why。
⑵有时候注意关系代词that 和which 的区别。
