01.The manager put forward a suggestion _____ we should have an assistant. There is too much work to do.
A.whether B.that C.which D.what
解析:
正确答案:B
首先此题并非考查定语从句,因为我们无法找到能与从句建立关系的先行词,所以排除which。本题实为同位语从句。同学可能会误选A,中文解释看起来似乎通顺,经理给我们提出建议是否应该用助手。但是仔细分析句子结构和含义,给出的建议应该是一个肯定性的句子而非whether引导的一般疑问句的同位语从句。句意:经理建议我们应该用助手因为工作太多了。所以选择that
02.It was the culture, rather than the language, _____made it hard for him to adapt to the new environment abroad.
A.which B.why C.that D.what
解析:
正确答案:C
句意:是文化,而不是语言,使得他很难适应国外的新环境。去掉插入语部分可能更好的看清句子主体。本句这个句子中含有it was,首先要考虑所给题目是不是一个强调句,还是定语从句。把It was和横线去掉,发现句意仍然完整清楚,The culture made it hard for him to adapt to the new environment abroad.所以说这里就是一个强调句而不是定语从句,故选C。
03.It's much easier to make friends _____ you have similar interests.
A.who B.when C.whom D.that
解析:
正确答案:B
值得注意的是本题题干并不是定语从句,而是when引导的状语从句。学生容易误认为是定语从句,先行词为friends,而错选。其实,后半句you have similar interests并不修饰friends。句意:当你们兴趣相投的时候,交朋友就容易多了。这里用when引导时间状语从句。
04.Look out! Don't get too close to the house _____ window is broken.
A.whose B.which C.of which D.that
解析:
正确答案:A
当心!不要靠那所窗户破了的房子太近。首先判断题目中的先行词为house,然后判断从句和先行词的关系,window和house是所属关系,故用whose作为定语从句关系代词。
05.You should make it a rule to leave things _____ you can find them again.
A.when B.where C. that D.there
解析:
正确答案:B
首先观察题干后半句you can find them again显然不缺少主语、宾语或者表语成分,而且也找不到与其相关的先行词,所以该题并非考查定语从句,排除that选项。事实上,根据句意:你应该定下规矩把东西放在下次可以找得到的地方,因此该题是用where引导的地点状语从句。
06.
--- Is it true that Mike refused an offer from Yale University yesterday?
--- Yeah, but I have no idea _____ he did it; that’s one of his favorite universities.
A.when B.why C.that D.which
解析:
正确答案:B
首先判断从句是完整的,并且不存在先行词关系,所以不是定语从句,排除D。本题实为同位语从句。联系上下文,Mike放弃了最心仪的耶鲁大学,令人不解其故。A表示时间,不符合题意,排除。Have no idea后从句应该表示疑问,所以排除表示事实的that选项。最后选择why。
07.It was the middle of the night _____ my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game.
A.that B.as C.which D.when
解析:
正确答案:D
本题考查定语从句与强调句的区分。由句子结构分析,my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game作为从句不缺少主语、宾语、表语或定语,所以应选择关系副词when来连接。题干并不是强调句,因为句子还原后成分不完整。如果原题短语the middle of the night前有介词in的话,那么才是强调句句型。
08.Why do you want a new job _____ you've got such a good one already?
A.that B.where C.which D.when
解析:
正确答案:D
做题时首先观察题干后半句you've got such a good one already显然是完整句,不缺少成分,也不用来修饰任何先行词。判断本题考查的并不是定语从句而是状语从句,句中用when表示“既然”这个特殊含义。句意:既然你已经有了很好的工作,为什么还要找新的工作呢?
09.Many young people, most _____were well-educated, headed for remote regions to chase their dreams.
A.of which B.of them C.of whom D.of those
解析:
正确答案:C
本题中从句是对主句的补充说明,是非限制性定语从句。判断先行词为many young people,并且出现了most of这个介词短语,表示整体中的部分,许多年轻人中的大部分。由于先行词是人,所以选择of whom,而非of which。
10.As the smallest child of his family, Alex is always longing for the time _____ he should be able to be independent.
A.which B.where C.whom D.when
解析:
正确答案:D
空格前是一个名词,这种情况首先考虑是定语从句。后半句不缺少主语、宾语、定语或表语,所以排除关系代词which和whom。先行词是the time,定语从句中缺少时间状语,所以用关系副词when。句意:作为家里最小的孩子,Alex总是渴望他能够有独立的时间。定语从句的考查主要就是考查关系词的辨析,要分析句子成分,看缺少什么成分,就选用相应的关系词。
