重点三 定 语 从 句 从 句 (重点三 定 语 从 句) ni. 考点分析 定语从句主要考点是关系代词，尤其是that, as, 介词+which的用法。 nii知识点 定语从句也称形容词性从句，在整个句子中起定 语的作用。定语从句通常置于它所修饰的名词和 代词之后，这种名词和代词被称为先行词。 n引导定语从句的关联词为关系代词和关系副词。 其中，关系代词有who, whom, whose, that, which等，在从句中可作主语、宾语，定 语等；关系副词有when, where, why等词， 在定语从句中只用作状语。其中： 1. who, whom, whose指人，在从句中分 别作主语（在非正式英语中 也可作宾语,但可省略）、 宾语和定语；whose也可 指物，作定语；that可指 人，也可指物，在从句中可 作主语，也可作宾语； which指物，在从句中可 作主语，也可作宾语。注意 ：whom, that, which 在从句中作宾语时可以省略 。例句: n1）the man who was here yesterday is a painter. n2) the man (who) i saw is called smith. n3) i know the man (whom) you mean. n4) a child whose parents are dead is called an orphan. n5) id like a room whose window looks out over the sea. n6) a letter that is written in pencil is hard to read. n7) the letter (that) i received from him yesterday is very important. n8) is he the man that sells eggs? n9) that is the boy (that) you are looking for. n2. when 指时间，where指地点，why 指原因，在从句中都作状语。例如： n1) we will put off the picnic until next week when the weather may be better. n2) he has reached the point where a change is needed. n3) that is no reason why you should leave. n定语从句可分为限定性定语从句和非限定性定语 从句两种。限定性定语从句一般紧跟在先行词的 后面修饰、限定先行词，它与先行词之间没有逗 号，去掉后会影响全句意思的完整性。非限定性 定语从句用来解释、说明先行词或主句所指内容 ，与先行词之间用逗号隔开。 n1) i like to chat with john, who is a clever fellow. n2) water, which is a clear liquid, has many uses. iii定语从句中的四级考点: n1.在下列情形下只能用that，而不能用which。 n1)序数词或最高级形容词修饰先行词时： na. the first english novel that i read was the tale of two cities by charles dickens. nb. tom is the most diligent students that i have ever known. n2) 先行词是不定代词或被all, everything, nothing anything, something等不定代词修 饰先行词时： na. mr. green had told us something that we should do in the summer vocation. nb. i heard all that she told to her mother. 2. that, which 和as n非限定性定语从句中的先行词在从句中作主语指人、指物 或主句所指代的一个意义时，引导词不能用that，而只 能用which或 as。而后两者的区别是which引导的非 限定性定语从句可放在句中和句末，却不能置于句首，as 引导的从句既可放在句中、句末，也可置于句首。 na. he once helped a woman, which(as) was reported in the newspaper. the dog, which(as) is black, is running toward the strange man. nb. as is known, the director of the company is going to come to our branch to have a inspection of the production here. 3. which和whom 在从句中作介词的宾语 nwhich和whom在从句中作介词的宾语时，介词一般放 在二者之前，也可放在从句原来的位置上，在含有介词的 固定词组中介词只能放在原来的位置上，而不能放在二者 之前。 na. please tell me from whom you borrowed the english novel. please tell me whom you borrow the english novel from. nb. the house in which he lived before now becomes a restaurant. the house which he lived in before now becomes a restaurant. nc. this is the magazine (that) you are looking for. n4. 介词which的结构可代替定语从句中的引 导词when和where。 na. he was born in germany where(in which) he stayed for 12 years. nb. she arrived at 12 oclock when(at which) it was raining hard. n5.but, than也可作关系代词。 na. you spent more money than was intended to be spent. nb. there are very few but admire his talents.（很少有人不赞赏他的才干的。but = who dont） n从历年四级词汇语法考点中分析可知，定语从句 出现的频率很高，主要集中在以上所讲的定语从 句的特殊用法中，因此需重点掌握这些。 四级真题 定语从句 n1. helen was much kinder to her youngest child than she was to the others,_, of course, made others jealous.

(定语从句) nthe fact that he succeeded in the experiment pleased everybody.( 同位语从句) 5. whether与if 在名词性从句中的用法区别 nif一般只用于引导宾语从句，而 whether可引导包括宾语从句在内 的其他名词从句。 n1) 连词whether引导的主语从句，表语从句不能用if来替换。 nwhether he will attend the meeting is uncertain. nthe question is whether he will come. n2) 宾语从句中，whether常与or not搭配，可以说whether or not，而不说if or not。 ni dont care whether or not she will attend the meeting. n3) whether可用在介词后，或带to不定式前，if则不可。 nshe doesnt know whether to get married now or wait. ni havent settled the question of whether ill go back home. n4）某些动词后面(如discuss)只能用whether ，不用if。 nwe discussed whether we should go on climbing. 四级真题 名词性从句 n1. _ men have learned much from the behavior of animals is barely new. (93/01/67) n a) that b) those c) what d) whether na) 题意：人类从动物行为中学到很多东西这一点还很少 为人所知。 n解析：句中that引导一个主语从句。 n2. an olympic marathon is 26 miles and 385 yards, approximately _ from marathon to athens. (95/06/49) n a) distance b) is the distance n c) the distance d) the distance is nc) 题意：奥林匹克马拉松赛跑为26英里385码，约为 从马拉松到雅典的距离。 n解析：名词短语approximately the distance from marathon to athens 用来进一步说明26 miles and 385 yards究竟有多长，在语法上叫做同 位语。若选择b) 或d)项，则前后两句之间应有or或 and之类的连接词。 n3. by success i dont mean _ usually thought of when that word is used. (96/06/49) na) what is b) that we c) as you d) all is na) 题意：我所说的“成功”一词，并不是指我们使用它时 通常所想到的东西。 n解析：主句中谓语动词mean缺少宾语，从句中的谓语动 词thought of缺少主语，因此，划线部分所需要的词既 引导宾语从句，又在宾语从句中充当主语，在这种情况下 ，应使用what连接句子。 n4. the mere fact _ most people believe nuclear war would be madness does not mean that it will not occur. (97/06/53) na) what b) which c) that d) why nc) 题意：大多数人认为核战争是疯狂行为，但这一点并 不意味着核战争不会发生。 n解析：“the mere fact”与that引导的从句是同位语。 从句中基本成分齐全，故不能使用which构成定语从句 。c正确。 n5. although anne is happy with her success she wonders _ will happen to her private life. (00/01/50) n a) this b) it c) what d) that nc) 题意：anne对取得的成功感到高兴，但是不知道她的私人生活 会发生什么事。 n解析：全句是个主从复合句，由although引出的是让步状语从句， 主句中wonder又带有一个宾语从句。根据主句的意思空格中应填入 表示疑问意思的词。 n6. we agreed to accept _ they thought was the best tourist guide. (00/01/53) n a) whichever b) whoever n c) whatever d) whomever nb) 题意：我们同意接受任何人，只要他们认为是最好的导游。 n解析：宾语从句。分析句子结构，空格处应作accept的宾语，同时 作was的主语，且表示人，所以应选b项。例如：whoever is responsible for this will be punished. 对此事负有责任的人 要受到处罚。d) whomever是whoever的宾格，相当于 anyone whom，在句中只能作宾语用。例如：you may invite whomever you like. 你喜欢的任何人都可以邀请。 n7. there are signs _ restaurants are becoming more popular with families. (00/06/37) na) that b) which c) in which d) whose na) 题意：有迹象表明，饭店越来越受到家庭的青睐。 n解析：同位语从句。根据句意，从句只是对“signs”做解 释说明，并未对这个词起限定修饰作用，也就是说， “signs”在从句中并不作任何成分。由此，我们可以看出 这里的从句应该是同位语从句，而不是定语从句。 n8. the basic features of the communication process are identified in one question: who says _ through what channel to whom? (01/01/52) na) what b) when c) how d) such na) 题意：交际过程的基本特征可以归结为一个问题：谁 说了什么，通过何种途径，对象是谁？ n解析：特殊句式。本题空格处应该做句子的宾语。how 是疑问副词，不能作say的宾语；when表示“什么时候” ，不合句意；such作代词是指上下文中提到的事物，代 入句中不合适。 n9.the mother didnt know who _ for the broken glass. (02/01/64) n a) blamed b) to blame n c) be blamed d) would blame nb) 题意：这位母亲不知道该怪谁打破了玻璃。 n解析：宾语从句省略。to blame表示被动意义，这是 blame的一个特殊用法。blame sb. for sth.“因为 而责备某人”；blame sth. on /upon sb.“把 归咎于某人”。 n10. how is it _ your roommates request and yours are identical? (02/06/50) n a) if b) so c) what d) that nd) 题意：你室友的请求和你的是一样的，这怎么回事？ n解析：主语从句。这是一道略带口语化的考题。it在题句 中充当形式主语。由that引导的句子构成主语从句，作 句中真正主语。 n11. they always give the vacant seats to _ comes first.(02/12/51) na)whoever b)whomever c)who d) whom na) 题意：他们把空座给最早来的人，不管他是 谁。 n解析：在特殊疑问词后加上-ever表示“不管”， 此处要填的词作“comes”的主语，应是主格， b)、c)都是宾格，不可以。其实c)也可说得过 去，但不如a)好。 重点五 状语从句 重点五 状语从句 ni. 考点分析 状语从句与连词有密切的关系。重中 之重是as作“虽然”时候的用法，要把 修饰语提前到从句开头，但主谓并不 倒装。如： nold as she was, she was quiet energetic. nii. 知识点 1时间状语从句 n 1) 常见关联词有 when, whenever, while, as, before, after 等。 n2）注意 notuntil 正常结构、倒装结构、强调结构、和until置于 句首的用法。 n he didnt go to sleep until he had finished his homework. （正常结构） nnot until he had finished his homework did he go to sleep. （倒装结构） nit was not until he had finished his homework that he went to sleep.（强调结构） nuntil he had finished his homework he didnt go to sleep. （until置于句首） n3）表示“一就”的连词：once, as soon as, hardly/ ns carcelywhen, no soonerthan, the minute, the moment, the instant, immediately, directly, instantly n4） 其他表示时间的短语还有：every time, next time, the day 等。 2地点状语从句 n2地点状语从句通常由where, wherever引导 如： nwhere there is a will, there is a way. 3原因状语从句 n1) 通常由because, as ,since引导, 三者区别： n because 语气最强，重在交待原因，以why引导的 疑问句只能because用来回答；其前可用only, just等 词强调；可用在 it isthat强调句型中。如：you shouldnt get angry just because some people speak ill of you. n as 一词口气最弱，表示明显的原因。如：as she was in a hurry, she left her key in the car. nsince 表示人们已知的事实，所以常译成“既然”。 如：since everyone is here, lets get started. n另外，for属并列连词，不能位于句首，是对前一分句加 以解释或说明。如：it must have rained last night, for the yard is wet. n2）与since相近，seeing that, now that, considering that, given that 都有“鉴于某个事实 、考虑到”的意思，此外，in that， not thatbut that，on the grounds that 均可表示原因。 4.目的状语从句 n目的状语从句引导词有 so that, in order that,( 从句 中常有情态助动词may/might, shall/should, will/would, can/could) in case, for fear that, lest, (从句中常有should, might等助动词) for the purpose that等。 5.结果状语从句 n结果状语从句引导词有so that, such that, sothat, suchthat, to the degree/extent that等。 6.条件状语从句 n条件状语从句分为真实和非真实两种。（非真实条件状语 从句详见虚拟语气部分）引导词有if, unless, as/so long as, once, in case, provided/providing that, suppose, supposing that, on condition that 7方式状语从句 n方式状语从句引导词有as, as if, as though, the way. 如：do it the way you were taught. 8比较状语从句 n详见比较部分 9让步状语从句 n让步状语从句引导词有though, although, as, even though, even if, wh-ever(no matter how/what/who) ，while (while位于句首，一 般意为“尽管”) 如：while we dont agree we continue to be friends. 关于让步状语从句的倒装 ，详见倒装部分 四级真题 状语从句 n1. if you smoke in a non-smoking section people _.
