第十一章 定語從句

定語從句是在句中起形容詞作用的句子，通常修飾它前面的名詞或代詞。

高考重點(diǎn)要求：

1、 限制性定語從句和非限制性定語從句區(qū)別和結(jié)構(gòu)特點(diǎn)。

2、 關(guān)系代詞who, which, that, whose，whom引導(dǎo)定語從句時(shí)的使用特點(diǎn)。

3、 關(guān)系副詞when, where, why 引導(dǎo)定語從句時(shí)的使用特點(diǎn)。

4、 as引導(dǎo)定語從句的使用。

第一節(jié) 知識點(diǎn)概述

定語從句在句中起定語作用，修飾某一名詞或代詞。定語從句所修飾的詞叫先行詞，定語從句放在先行詞后面。引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)系代詞，指人的有who、whom、that、whose，指物的有which、that、whose。

定語從句分為兩類：限制性定語從句和非限制性定語從句。限制性定語從句是主句中的先行詞不可缺少的定語，不可用逗號分開。非限制性定語從句只對主句中的先行詞作附加說明，關(guān)系不密切，主句與從句之間用逗號分開，不能用that連接。例如：

I have a sister who works in a bank.

限制性定語從句（我有一個(gè)在銀行工作的姐姐。）

I have a sister, who works in a bank.

非限制性定語從句（我有一個(gè)姐姐，在銀行工作。）

關(guān)系代詞whose在定語從句中作定語.例如:

Edison is a great inventor(whose)fame is world-wide.

關(guān)系代詞that和which都可以指物，但先行詞為不定代詞以及先行詞被序數(shù)詞或最高級形容詞修飾時(shí)用that。

引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)系副詞有when、where、why。例如:

The day (when)I helped the old man out was a very happy one for me.

The reason(why)the gamblers lose in the end is that they are dishonest.

關(guān)系副詞的先行詞總是表示時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)或理由的名詞。

As引導(dǎo)的定語從句

(1)as用作關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞引導(dǎo)限制性定語從句,并在從句中作定語、表語或狀語,構(gòu)成the same…as,such…as等結(jié)構(gòu)。例如:

I like the same book as you do.

I want to do it in the same way as you did.

(2)as引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句.as在定語從句中作主語,表語或賓語,這個(gè)定語從句說明整個(gè)句子,它可以放在主句之前。例如:

As is known to all, he is the best student in our class.

第二節(jié) 實(shí)戰(zhàn)演練

一、復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)需注意的要點(diǎn)

1、關(guān)系代詞在從句中作主語時(shí),從句的謂語動詞的人稱和數(shù)必須和先行詞保持一致.

2、關(guān)系代詞whom, which, that 在限制性定語從句中作動詞賓語或介詞賓語,而該介詞又位于從句末尾時(shí),經(jīng)常省略,但as一般不省略.

3、關(guān)系代詞which在非限制性定語從句中不能放在句首,as既能在句首也能在句中.

4、that在定語從句中可以指人或物,在從句中作主語或謂語動詞的賓語.但不能放在介詞后面作介詞賓語。

例如：The letter that I received was from my father.

5、先行詞是不定代詞:all, few, little, much, something, nothing, anything等，只能用that。

例如：That’s all (that)I want to say.

6、先行詞被序數(shù)詞或形容詞最高級所修飾，只能用that。

例如：This is the most exciting film (that) I have ever seen.

7、先行詞被the only, the very, the same, the last 修飾時(shí)，只能用that。

例如：He is the only person that attended the meeting.

8、先行詞表示地點(diǎn)時(shí),有時(shí)用where,有時(shí)用that, which來引導(dǎo)定語從句.這時(shí)要根據(jù)從句的謂語動詞是及物還是不及物，是及物的就用that(which)，否則用 where。

例如：This is the factory where we worked last year.

This is the factory that (which)we visited.

二、歷屆高考試題分析

例1、If a shop has chairs ____ women can park their men, women will spend more time in the shop.

A. that B. which C. when D. where

答案為D

【解析】 關(guān)系副詞where 連接定語從句，其中where= in/ on which。

例2、We will be shown around the city: schools, museums, and some other places, ________ other visitors seldom go.

A. what B. which C. where D. when

答案為C。

【解析】 這是一個(gè)定語從句，先行詞是places，表示地點(diǎn)，非限定性定語從句中缺少狀語，因此用where來引導(dǎo)定語從句，故要填where。這句話的意思是我們被帶領(lǐng)著參觀了這座城市的學(xué)校、博物館和其他一些游人很少去的地方。

例3、Alec asked the policeman _______ he worked to contact him whenever there was an accident.

A. with him B. who C. with whom D. whom

答案為C。

【解析】 這是一個(gè)定語從句，the policeman是先行詞。work是不及物動詞，“work with sb.”意為“與某人共事”，所以定語從句應(yīng)為with whom he worked。這句話的意思是無論何時(shí)發(fā)生事故時(shí)，Alec要求與他一起工作的警察與他聯(lián)系。

例4、Is this the reason _______at the meeting for his carelessness in his work?

A. he explained B. what he explained

C. how he explained D. why he explained

答案為A。

【解析】 the reason后接定語從句。因?yàn)橄刃性~the reason作explained的賓語，用that或which引導(dǎo)定語從句在從句中作賓語時(shí)省略。這句話的意思是這就是他在會議上對他為什么在工作上粗心大意的理由所作的解釋嗎?

例5、The film brought the hours back to me _____ I was taken good care of in that far-away village.

A. until B. that C. when D. where

答案為C。

【解析】 when引導(dǎo)定語從句(the hours的定語)，修飾先行詞the hours,when在從句中作狀語。這句話的意思是這部電影使我回憶起我在那偏遠(yuǎn)的村莊得到無微不至的照顧的時(shí)光。

例6、Have you seen the film “Titanic”, ________leading actor is world-famous?

A. its B. it's C. whose D. which

答案選C。

【解析】 這是一個(gè)定語從句，因?yàn)橄刃性~the film “Titanic”和leading actors是所屬關(guān)系，所以要填寫whose。

例7、Recently I bought an ancient Chinese vase, ________ was very reasonable. A. which price B. the price of which C. its price D. the price of whose

答案為B。

【解析】 這是一個(gè)非限制性定語從句。根據(jù)句意可知之中的是花瓶的價(jià)格。在定語從句中表示“誰的”，可以這樣表達(dá)，如：I live in the room whose windows face south(名詞前沒有冠詞，用whose)=I live in the room the windows of which face south(如果名詞前有冠詞就用of which)。

例8、Carol said the work would be done by October, ________personally I doubt very much.

A. it B. that C. when D. which

答案選D。

【解析】 在這個(gè)非限制性定語從句中，關(guān)系代詞which代替Carol所說的話。這句話的意思是“Carol說工作將在十月完成，我個(gè)人對此表示懷疑。”

例9、It was an exciting moment for these football fans this year, _____ for the first time in years their team won World Cup.

A. that B. while C. which D. when

答案為D。

【解析】 從從句的意思：“這是他們多年來第一次贏得世界杯，”可推知，從句是對表示時(shí)間的先行詞加以說明，先行詞是主句中表示時(shí)間的名詞an exciting moment this year，而非整個(gè)句子，故選D。

例10、John said he’d been working in the office for an hour, _____ was true.

A. he B. this C. which D. who

答案為C。

【解析】 該非限制性定語從句缺少主語，A、B兩項(xiàng)不能用作關(guān)系代詞，D項(xiàng)只能指代人，而該從句需要關(guān)系代詞指代主句所說的事實(shí)用which。
