nor引起的倒装
重要程度：★★☆☆☆ 难易程度：★★☆☆☆
The headmaster will not permit the change in the course, nor _____________ it a thought.
A. does he even given B. he even gives
C. will he even give D. he will even give
【参考答案】C
【拓展延伸】
1. 当否定词nor放在句首时，句子要使用部分倒装语序，即＂Nor+系动词be/情态动词/助动词+主语＂，表示前句中的否定情况也适用于另一人或物，意为＂也不……＂，可用neither替换nor。
2. ＂so＋系动词be(情态动词或助动词)＋(与前句不同的)主语＂表示前句中的肯定情况也适用于另一人或物，表示＂也是这样；也是如此＂。
3. 如果前者的两种不同情况也适合后者的话，则用It is the same with sb./sth.或So it is with sb./sth.句式。
4. ＂so＋(与前句相同的)主语＋系动词be(情态动词或助动词) ＂表示赞同，确实。即后一句只是单纯地重复前面句子的意思，此时不倒装。

不定式作目的状语
重要程度：★★★☆☆ 难易程度：★★★☆☆
The children talked so loudly at dinner table that I had to struggle ____________.
A. to be heard B. to have heard? C. hearing D. being heard
【参考答案】A
【拓展延伸】
不定式作目的状语的特点：
1. 句意上的特点
不定式用作目的状语时，其句意特点很明显，通常在译成中文时可用＂为了＂来表示。
2. 结构上的特点
不定式用作目的状语有两个可能的位置，一是在句首，二是在句末。一般说来，用于句首属于强调性用法，即强调动词的目的。
有时为了表示强调，可在不定式前加上in order/so as，即构成in order to do sth. 和so as to do sth. 结构。值得注意的是，＂so as+不定式＂不能位于句首。
3. 语法上的特点
从语法上看，不定式表示目的通常是指发生在谓语动作之后的动作，也就是说，若以谓语动作发生的时间为标准，用作目的状语的不定式是一个尚未发生的将来动作。
1. When asked why he went there, he said he was sent there ____________ for a space flight.
A. training B. being trained
C. to have trained D. to be trained
2. We went to the hospital _____________________________.

【参考答案】where
【拓展延伸】
关系副词的用法
1. 当先行词在定语从句中作状语时，要用关系副词
when=表时间的介词(如：in，at，during等)+which；
where=表地点的介词(如：in，at，on，under等)+which；
why=表原因的介词(如：for)+which；
how=表方式的介词(如：in)+which。
?I still remember the day when I first came to Beijing. (when= on which) 我还记得我第一次来北京的那一天。
?Can you tell me the office where he works? (where=in which) 你能告诉我他上班的办公室吗?
?Do you know the reason why he is absent? (why=for which) 你知道他缺席的原因吗?
2. 介词+关系代词(which)=where/when
有时为表达清楚，还可以在关系副词where/when前加介词from，to等。
?China is the birthplace of kites, from where kite flying spread to Japan, Korea, Thailand and India. 中国是风筝的故乡，从这里放风筝传到了日本、朝鲜、泰国和印度。
3. 高考对关系副词where的考查
高考试题中对于where的考查趋于复杂，从先行词为明显的＂地点＂转为＂地点的模糊化＂。事实上，对于where这个词，考生不能只理解为表地点。当先行词为抽象地点，如表示某人/物的situation，或某事所发展的stage，或表达某事的某个方面时都可用where这个关系副词来引导从句。
?They have reached the point where they have to separate with each other. 他们已经到了必须分手的地步。
这种用法不是仅仅限于定语从句，特殊疑问句中的where，名词性从句中的where都有这种有法。
?Where will all this trouble lead? 这件麻烦事会惹出什么结果?

3. As?? 4. which
5. whom?? 6. when
7. where?? 8. whose
9. who/whom?? 10. When
II. 单项填空
2. D 【解析】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导定语从句，先行词为next week，且关系词在定语从句中作时间状语，故用when。
3. A 【解析】句意：公司老板正在尽力营造一个员工们可以在其中快乐工作的轻松的氛围。空处替代先行词atmosphere，且在定语从句中作地点状语，故用关系副词where。
4. D 【解析】句意：作为家里孩子中最小的一个，Alex一直渴望着他能够独立的时间。根据句子结构来判断，此句中the time后面是一个定语从句，且空处在从句中作状语，表示时间，所以要用关系副词when。
定语从句
重要程度：★★★★★ 难易程度：★★★★★
(2017·天津) It was when I got back to my apartment _____________ I first came across my new neighbors.
A. who B. where C. which D. that
【参考答案】D
【拓展延伸】
一、限制性与非限制性定语从句
限制性定语从句对先行词起修饰限制作用；非限制性定语从句对先行词起补充说明作用。非限制性定语从句中，先行词与定语从句往往有逗号隔开。非限制性定语从句相当于并列句、状语从句等。
二、关系词的用法
(一)关系词的作用和分类
1. 关系词的作用有三个：
(1)连接作用：关系词引导从句，把从句和主句连接起来；
(2)替代作用：关系词在从句中替代先行词；
(3)成分作用：关系词在从句中总是充当句子成分。
2. 关系词的用法分类：
关系词
先行词所指
在从句中所作成分
关系
代词
that
人/物
主、宾、表
which
物
主、宾、表
who
人
主、宾
whom
人
宾
whose
人/物
定
as
人/物/事情
主、宾、表
关系
副词
when
时间
时间状语
where
地点
地点状语
why
原因
原因状语
关系代词的用法与分类有三点依据：
(1)根据所引导的从句的限制性和非限制性；
(2)根据所替代的先行词是指人还是指物；
(3)根据它在从句中所充当的成分——主语、宾语、表语或定语。
(二)关系代词that和which的用法
1. 限制性定语从句中，必须用关系代词that的情况：
(1)当先行词是不定代词all，much，little，something，everything，anything，nothing，none，the one时。
(2)当先行词前面有the only，the very(恰恰，正好)，any，few，little，no，all等词修饰时。
(3)当先行词是形容词最高级或先行词的前面有形容词最高级修饰时。
(4)当先行词是序数词或它前面有序数词修饰时。
(5)当先行词既有人又有物时。
(6)当主句的主语是疑问词who或which时。
(7)有两个定语从句时，其中一个关系代词宜用which，另外一个宜用that。
(8)当先行词在主句中作表语，而关系代词在从句中也作表语时。
2. 当先行词指事/物时，定语从句中必须用which的情况：
(1)在非限制性定语从句中，只用which，不用that。
(2)当动词短语中的介词提前时，只用which，不用that。
(三)关系代词who，whom，that和whose的用法
当先行词指人：
①关系代词在定语从句中作主语时，用who/that，不可省略；
②关系代词在定语从句中作宾语时，用whom/who/that，可以省略；
③关系代词在定语从句中作定语时，用whose，不可省略。
【特别注意】
1. 非限制性定语从句中关系代词和关系副词的用法
(1)关系代词和关系副词在任何情况下都不能省略；
(2)who(主语)，whom(宾语)，which(主语，宾语)不能用that代替，也不能互相替换；
(3)在＂介词+which/whom从句＂结构中，介词不能移到从句的后面；
(4)when，where可用于非限制性定语从句中。
2. 在一些固定搭配的动词短语中，由于动词和介词不可分割，因此不能把介词置于关系代词之前。
?This is the pen(which/that)I’m looking for.
这是我正在寻找的那支钢笔。
不可以说：This is the pen for which I’m looking.

A. it B. which C. what D. as
I. 语法填空
II. 改错
1. (1)interesting→interested 【解析】考查形容词，由于此句的主语是人，而interesting的主语是物，故将interesting改为interested。
(2)that→which 【解析】考查非限制性定语从句，非限制性定语从句需要用which引导，故将that改为which。
2. (1)在picture前加the/ this 【解析】考查限定词的用法。单数可数名词前应该有限定词，根据句意可知在picture前加the或者this。
(2)they→that/which 【解析】考查定语从句。they不能引导定语从句，因为关系代词指代things，所以把they改为that或者which。
III. 单项填空
1. A 【解析】句意：我们在日常生活中遇到的小问题可能就是伟大发明的灵感。_________ we meet in our daily lives是定语从句，从句缺少宾语，先行词是problems，用that。
2. B 【解析】本句是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是My eldest son，根据句意和空后名词确定引导词在从句中作定语，选项中只有whose作定语修饰名词。故选B。
3. C 【解析】考查主谓一致。本句是包含定语从句的复合句，先行词Great Expectations是书名，看作单数，所以定语从句的谓语也要使用单数形式；根据＂strengthened＂可知，＂被广泛阅读和得到高度评价＂发生在过去，故选C。
6. D 【解析】本句使用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句，其中which指代前面整个句子的内容。
7. D 【解析】分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代的是整个主句，故可排除A、C两项。as引导非限制性定语从句时，表示＂如同，正如＂，符合题干意思，故选D项。

The BBC was founded in 1922, including radio and television services. It is based at Broadcasting House in London.
The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government, but these people have freedom and the government can’t interfere(干扰). That is, the BBC is supposed not to be the mouthpiece(代言人) of the government. It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to, for example, political parties and religious groups.
There is a kind of interesting service in British-rental services. Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them.
The rent for a black and white set is about 80 pence a week. The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black and white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced immediately.
Everyone has to buy a yearly license, since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of licenses that the BBC gets most of its money. A license for a black and white set costs 8 pounds, and for a color set 18 pounds a year.
There are four special radio channels, which broadcast different kinds of programmes. Radio 1 is mainly pop music. Radio 2 deals with light music, sports and other programmes. Radio 3 broadcasts serious music, talks on serious subjects etc. News broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.
There are special programmes for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and certain parts of England. It also broadcasts programmes about Britain — in many different languages as well as in English to all parts of the world.
5. The officials in charge of the BBC ____________.
A. must say what the government wants to say

Last month while I was walking in the street, the foreigner came towards me. She seemed to be losing. She asked me if I could help him. I said yes, but when she started talking, I couldn’t understand that she said. I could only say ＂I don’t know＂, and then slowly walk away. Though I have studied English for six years, but I still can’t understand English good enough. I know I’m not interested in English and I’ve also been very lazy to study it. Now I know the importances of learning English. I’ve decided change my attitude towards English and work hard on it.

I. 阅读理解
A
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了冬季奥运会时发行的一些邮票的情况。
1. B 【解析】细节理解题。由第一段的最后两句话可知选B。
4. D 【解析】推理判断题。只有D选项的内容才是在冬季奥运会中举行的。
B
【语篇解读】英语广播电台成立于1922年，其中包括电视和无线电节目，总部设在伦敦。BBC广播电台不是政府的喉舌，它必须要在政党和宗教团体方面做到公正和公平。BBC的特别节目不仅面向国内，同时也面向世界上的许多国家和地区。
5. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句but these people have freedom and the government can’t interfere(干扰). 可知这些人有自由，政府不能干扰。故选D。
6. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段第一句Everyone has to buy a yearly license, since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television.可知每个人必须买一张一年的许可证。故选C。
7. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中的 It is from the sale of licenses that the BBC gets most of its money.可知答案为D。
II. 完形填空
【语篇解读】作者本来答应将儿子的自行车义卖后所得的钱归他所有，但是后来这辆车被无偿送给了另外一个小男孩。作者的儿子因为能将自行车的用途继续得以延续而高兴，作者也感受到了爱的传递所带来的快乐。
5. C 第一段第二句的outgrown意为＂长大而不再适用＂，从构词法也可以猜出词义，说明这时候的儿子已经长大，所以儿子对于这辆自行车来说太大了或者太高了。
6. B 作者的儿子在装车之前还骑了一圈自行车，说明他还是很喜欢这辆车的，但是本句中的but说明他最后还是很高兴地将自行车装上车托人代卖。
7. D 最后一段的The bike was given to us说明这辆车在儿子拥有以前就有过别的主人，所以这里选择owner＂主人＂。
8. B 本句的not shiny new和still a bike是转折关系，说明车虽然旧，但毕竟是一辆可以骑的自行车，所以选B项。
9. D 我们在自行车上贴上10美元的价格标签，但是没有卖掉。这里的sell是不及物动词，意为＂(被)卖出，售出＂。
10. B 表示＂标着，写着＂的动词有read和say，但是不能用write，因为write的动作发出者是人。
11. A 作者朋友家的门铃响了，她开门后发现有个小男孩站在门口。knock和上一句的doorbell rang矛盾。他虽然想得到这辆车，但是并没有哭泣，所以排除B项。
12. D 小男孩问作者的朋友是否写错了那个牌子上的内容。notice和announcement指＂通知＂，一个是书面的，一个是口头的，与文章不符。第10个空前出现了sign一词。
17. A 作者的儿子的笑在她看来就是无价之宝。priceless意为＂无价的，稀世之珍的＂。
18. D 作者的儿子并没有因为未得到车钱而生气，他很高兴这辆自行车有了新的主人。thrilled意为＂非常兴奋的，极为激动的＂。
19. B 作者的儿子很高兴这辆自己曾经骑过的自行车对别的孩子来说有很大的用处，所以这里选择use。
20. C 本句句意：这辆自行车是别人送给我们的，而我想我们就是以送给别人的方式将爱传递出去。这里的pay it forward字面的意思是＂预支付＂，在这里可理解为＂将爱传递出去＂。

第一处：the→a 句意：一个外国人向我走来。此处表示泛指，故把the改成a。
第二处：losing→lost 句意：她似乎迷路了。be lost丢失的，迷路的。故把losing改成lost。
第三处：him→her 句意：她问我是否我能帮助她。根据前面可知这个外国人是女性，故把him改成her。
第四处：that→what 句意：我不明白她说的话。此处句中含有一个宾语从句，从句的引导词要起双重作用，在从句中作said的宾语，故把that改成what。
第五处：walk→walked 句意：然后我慢慢地走开。根据句意可知用一般过去时态，故把walk改成walked。
第六处：去掉but even though引导让步状语从句，不能和but连用，故去掉but。
第七处：good→well 句意：我仍然不能很好地理解英语。副词修饰动词，故good改成well。
第八处：very→too 句意：我太懒而没有学它。too…to…太……而不能。故very改成too。
第九处：importances→importance 句中importance是不可数名词，表示的是＂重要性＂，故把importances改成importance。
第十处：change前加to decide to do sth.决定做某事，为固定结构。故在change前加to。
IV. 语法填空

6. which 所填词引导非限制性定语从句，在句中作主语，故用which。
7. it 所填词指代上文中提到的所做的事情，故用it。
8. Without could have fallen表示＂本来应该摔倒而未摔倒＂，故用without表示虚拟条件，表示＂没有我的帮助，她就可能摔倒了＂。
9. easily 此处修饰动词fall，用副词形式easily。
10. knew ＂我知道她需要我的帮助＂发生在过去，用know的一般过去时。
