Step 2 Explanations.
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
关系代词有：who, whom, whose, that, which等。
关系副词有：when, where, why等。
1. 关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词，并在从句中充当主语、宾语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时，从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。
(1) who, whom, that。这些词代替的先行词是人的名词或代词，在从句中作主语和宾语。如：
He is the right actor I want to find for my film.
(2) whose 用来指人或物，只用作定语。 若指物时，它可以同of which互换，互换时为：n + of which。如：
Please pass me the book whose cover is torn.
Please pass me the book the cover of which is torn.
(3) which, that所代替的先行词是事物的名词或代词，在从句中可作主语、宾语等。如：
Italy is a famous city which has a lot of great buildings.
2. 关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词，如： when, where, why，在从句中作状语。关系副词的含义相当于“介词+ which”结构。如：
Beijing is the place where(in which) I was born.
Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer
3. 判断关系代词与关系副词
(1) 用关系代词，还是关系副词完全取决于从句中的谓语动词。及物动词后面要求用关系代词作宾语；而不及物动词则要求用关系副词作状语。如：
This is the mountain village where I visited last year. (错)
This is the mountain village where I stayed last year. (对)
I will never forget the days when I spent in the countryside. (错)
I'll never forget the days when I worked together with you. (对)
(2) 准确判断先行词在定语从句中的成分（主、谓、宾、定、状），也能正确选择出关系代词/关系副词。
[例句1] Is this museum ___ you visited a few days age
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one
[分析] 正确选项为D。该句变为肯定句为：This museum is ___ you visited a few days ago.
该句所缺部分为宾语，而where, that, on which都不能起到宾语的作用，只有the one既作了主句的表语，又可作从句的宾语，可以省略关系代词，所以应选D。
[例句2] Is this the museum ____ the exhibition was held.
A. where B. that C. which D. the one
[分析] 正确选项为A。该句变为肯定句为：This is the museum ___ the exhibition was held.
该句中主、谓、宾俱全，从句部分为句子的状语表地点，既可用副词where，也可用介词in + which 引导地点状语。如果C项中的which前面加in，也是正确选项。

Step 4. Speaking
Read the following passage about great inventions and then discuss the following questions with your partners.
Great Inventions伟大发明
There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that, there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800's the world started to change. There was little unknown land in the world people did not have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter in 1909;moves with sound in 1926;the computer in 1928;and jet planes in 1930.This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nyloh came out in 1935.It changed the kind of clothes people had been wearing.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960's most people could expect to live at least 60.
By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step .Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning thought. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.
Q1. Think of three 20th inventions to do with travel
Q2. Think of three 20th inventions to do with food and cooking
Q3. Which of the invention do you think would be more useful Why
Q4. Is there anything you would like to invent If so, what and why
pare the inventions you have listed. Discuss the importance of each invention.
Example: I think fridges are more important than cans because fridges can keep meat fresh.
