2.All _____ is needed is a supply of oil.(MET'89)
A.the thing B.that C.what D.which
答案及簡析:
1.D。2.B。that和which都能指物,在定語從句中作主語或賓語,但下列情況下,常用that,不用which:①先行詞是all, everything,anything,nothing等不定代詞。②先行詞指物且被形容詞最高級、序數(shù)詞或all,no,only,the very,the last等修飾。③先行詞既指人又指物。
二、考查關(guān)系代詞whose
3.A child _____ parents are dead is called an orphan.(MET'86)
A.which B.his C.whose D.with
答案及簡析:
3.C。關(guān)系代詞whose在定語從句中作定語,修飾其后的名詞,意為“……的”。有時“whose +n.”可轉(zhuǎn)換為“n.+of+which /whom”。如:
The building whose roof(=the roof of which)we can see from here is a hotel.
This kind of book is for the students whose native language(=the native language of whom)isn't English.
三、考查關(guān)系代詞與關(guān)系副詞的差異
4.After living in Paris for fifty years he returned to the small town _____ he grew up as a child.(NMET'96)
A.which B.where C.that D.when
5.I also enjoyed the evenings when we spent together.(NMET'95短文改錯)
答案及簡析:
4.B。5.去掉when或when→that/which。如何選用關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞呢?關(guān)鍵是看先行詞在定語從句中作什么成分。決不能只按先行詞是地點名詞就用 where,先行詞是時間名詞就用when,先行詞是reason就用why。有時,命題者還會在先行詞與引導詞之間加入附加成分,影響考生正常解題思路,做題時,要特別注意。
四、考查“介詞+關(guān)系代詞”
6.He paid the boy $10 for washing ten windows, most of _____ hadn't been cleaned for at least a year.(MET'90)
A.these B.those C.that D.which
答案及簡析:
6.D。“介詞+關(guān)系代詞”引導的定語從句,關(guān)系代詞一般只有which,whom。先行詞是物時,用which,先行詞是人時,用whom。介詞的選定一般依據(jù)下列三點:①看定語從句中的形容詞與哪一個介詞組成固定搭配②看先行詞與哪一個介詞組成習慣搭配③看定語從句中的動詞與哪一個介詞組成習慣搭配。
五、考查非限制性定語從句與限制性定語從句的區(qū)別

9._____ is known to everybody,the moon travels round the earth once every month.(NMET2001)
A.It B.As C.That D.What
答案及簡析:
9.B。as,which均可用來引導非限制性定語從句,代替整個主句,但as引出的從句可放在句首、句中或句末,which引出的從句通常只能放在主句后面。
