高考英语语法专题复习:定语从句
【高考考纲解读】
定语从句的用法较为复杂,高考除了单独考查定语从句知识外,还常常结合句式结构、时态等来综合考查。纵观近几年各地高考试题,不难发现其考点主要包括:
1. 考查关系代词和关系副词的区分。如: that, which和where, when的区分; that, which和why的区分等。 2. 考查whose的使用。whose可以指代人或物, 在定语从句中作定语, 后跟名词。指物时, whose+名词=名词+ of which = of which+名词。如:
The classroom whose door/the door of which/of which the door is broken is on the second floor.
3. 考查as/which引导的非限制性定语从句。尤其要重视which,as引导的非限制性定语从句和it,what引导的主语从句的区分。
4. 考查定语从句中的主谓一致现象。如:
I, who am your close friend, will try my best to help you whenever you are in trouble.
5. 考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句。“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,关系代词指人时用whom,指物时用which,不能用that。关系代词作定语时也可用whose。如:
The teacher in front of whose house stands a tall tree is very patient with his students.
6. 考查一些特殊的先行词。如: 当situation, point, case, activity, scene及period, festival, occasion等出现时, 要注意具体情况具体分析; 作主语、宾语和表语时, 用关系代词that/which; 作状语时, 用关系副词where/when或“介词+which”, 表示在某种特定的情形下。
7. 考查定语从句、强调句、时间状语从句等的区别。 【命题趋势】
定语从句是历年高考的重点,主要考查常见关系代词和关系副词的用法,比如which/that/as/ when/where的用法及区别性的选择等,及与其他从句如名词性从句的区别等。在高考的中主要体现在语法填空,短文改错,完型填空等中,且完形填空80%每年会出一道题。 【名师指导】
考生在定语从句的学习过程中存在着以下几个问题: 1. 考生不能辨别定语从句的结构;
2. 关系代词与关系副词的选择混乱,不清楚关系代词与关系副词的使用情况; 3. 习惯性以翻译的方式来理解定语从句、同位语从句,而使自己陷入困境之中; 4. 由于对句型结构分析不到位,经常出现代词与关系代词错用的情况。
