1. In 1963 the UN set up the World Food Programme, one of ______ purposes is to relieve worldwide starvation.
A. which
B. its
C. whose
D. whom
C
2. We choose this hotel because the price for a night here is down to $20, half of ______ it used to charge.
A. that
B. which
C. what
D. how
C 句意:我们选择这家宾馆是因为这里住一晚上的价格降到了20美元,这是其之前要价的一半。本题考查宾语从句。逗号后面是$20的同位语,charge后面缺少宾语,故用what引导。
3. Located the Belt meets the Road, Jiangsu will contribute more to the Belt and Road construction.
A. why
B. when
C. which
D. where
D 句意:位于“一带”和“一路”的交汇处,江苏将对“一带一路”的建设贡献更多。本题考查地点状语从句。设空处引导地点状语从句,且在从句中作地点状语,因此用where引导,故选择D项。
4. It is often the case anything is possible for those who hang on to hope.
A. why
B. what
C.as
D. that
D 句意:对于那些不放弃希望的人来说,发生什么都是有可能的,这是很常见的。本题考查名词性从句。本句中it为形式主语,空格处引导的从句为真正的主语,从句结构和意义完整,应由that引导主语从句。故选D项。在解决名词性从句相关考题时,分析句子结构、判断句子成分非常关键。It is often the case that...也可以被看成是一个固定句型。
5. 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
C 句意:很多年轻人都去了偏远地区追求自己的梦想,他们中大部分都受过良好的教育。考查定语从句。most were well-educated为定语从句,先行词为many young people,指人,故排除A项;B项和D项都不能引导从句,故选C项。
6. It is so cold that you can’t go outside fully covered in thick clothes.
A. if
B. unless
C. once
D. when
B 句意:天太冷了,你不能出去,除非你被厚厚的衣服包裹得严严实实。本题考查状语从句。if如果;once一旦;when当……时。unless除非,unless fully covered相当于unless you are fully covered,引导条件状语从句,故选B项。本题题干比较简短,逻辑关系清晰。
7. The number of smokers, is reported, has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.
A.it
B. which
C. what
D. as
D 句意:正如所报道的那样,吸烟的人数仅在一年内就已经减少了百分之十七。本题考查定语从句。根据句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为整个主句。it和what不能引导定语从句,排除A、C两项;which和as都可以引导非限制性定语从句,当表示“正如”的含义时,常用as引导定语从句。故选D项。区分which和as引导的定语从句是定语从句中的一个难点,考生除了要学会分析句子结构,还要正确理解句意。
8. Li Bai, a great Chinese poet, was born is known to the public, but some won’t accept it.
A. That
B. Why
C. Where
D. How
C 句意:李白,中国伟大的诗人,出生在什么地方人人皆知,但是有些人对此并不接受。本题考查名词性从句。“ Li Bai,a great Chinese poet,was born”为主语从句,根据句意可知,此处应该是表达“李白在哪里出生”,由此可见,从句缺少地点状语,排除A项。另外,that没有意义和句法功能,只能引导从句,why表示原因,how表示方式,故选C项。本题中从句的主语Li Bai后的同位语a great Chinese poet可能会影响考生对句子结构的判断。这是命题者故意设置的难度。考生在分析句子结构的时候要学会去除“冗余”。
9. The book has helped me greatly in my daily communication, especially at work a good impression is a must.
A. which
B. when
C. as
D. where
答案 D 句意:这本书对我的日常交流很有帮助,尤其是在那些必须给人留下良好印象的工作中。本题考查定语从句。先行词为work,从句缺少地点状语,应用关系副词where引导定语从句,故选D项。本题考查定语从句关系词的用法。其解题的突破口是对先行词的判断及句子成分的分析。先行词在定语从句中作抽象的地点状语。抽象或模糊的地点状语一直是部分考生不能理解的内容,但却是命题者热衷的考点。
10. —What a mess! You are always so lazy!
—I’m not to blame, mum. I am you have made me.
A. how
B. what
C. that
D. who
B 句意:——真是太乱了!你总是这么懒惰!——妈妈,别责怪我。你使我成了现在这个样子。本题考查名词性从句。am后为表语从句,引导词应在从句中作made的宾语补足语,又表示事物,故选B项。命题者设置了考生非常熟悉的生活化语境。what引导名词性从句比较常见,但是同时在从句中作宾补的情况并不多见,容易误选D项。
