[典型例题探究] 规律总结
1.George Orwell,____was Eric Arthur,wrote many political novels and essays.A.the real name B.what his real nameC.his real name D.whose real name解析:该题考查关系代词在实际语境中的运用。此句为非限制性定语从句,先行词George Orwell在从句中作real name的定语,故用whose引导。A项和C项中没有连接词,B项中what不能用来引导定语从句,故这三项应予以排除。答案:D2.Helen was much kinder to her youngest son than to the others,____,of course,made the others envy him.A.who B.that C.which D.what解析:该题考查的目标为定语从句关系代词的选用。that不能引导非限制性定语从句,what不能引导定语从句,who在此句意不通。which在此代指的是前面句子的内容。全句句意为“海伦对她的小儿子比对其他孩子和善的多,这当然使其他孩子妒忌他”。答案:C3.The film brought the hours back to me____I was taken good care of in that faraway village.A.until B.that C.when D.where解析:该题考查的目标是定语从句中关系副词的用法。本题为一含有分隔性定语从句的复合句,先行词为hours,故答案为C项。答案:C4.There are two buildings,____stands nearly a hundred feet high.A.the larger B.the larger of themC.the larger one that D.the larger of which解析:本题考查非限制性定语从句。根据逗号可知,后面需用并列句或非限制性定语从句。B项改成and the larger of them(the two buildings)也正确。答案:D whose引导定语从句时,即可指人,又可指物,在从句中只能作定语。所以选择答案时,一定要分析从句中所缺的成分,若缺少定语,答案一般就是whose。which引导定语从句时既可代指物,也可代指句子内容。做题时要细心审题,注意联系which的这种用法。when引导定语从句代指时间,作状语,先行词为时间名词。但有时为了调整句子结构,并不直接把它置于先行词之后,这种情况要注意辨识。“of + which/whom”前面可使用形容词比较级、最高级、代词、数词等以表示整体与部分的关系。如:China has hundreds of islands,the largest of which is Taiwan.
