(三)注意way和time后接的定语从句的情况
1．当先行词是way(意为“方式、方法”)时，引导定语从句的关系词有下列三种形式。如： What surprised me was not what he said but the way
he said it.
最让我吃惊的不是他的话，而是他说话的方式。 注意下面两个句子中关系词的不同，试比较：
The way he explained to us was quite simple.
他向我们解释的那种方法很简单。
The way he explained the sentence to us was not difficult to understand.
他向我们解释句子的那种方法不难理解。
2．先行词是time时， 若time作“次数”讲时，应用关系代词that引导定语从句，that可省略；若time作“一段时间”讲时，应用关系副词when或介词at/during＋which引导定语从句。如：
This is the second time (that) the President has visited the country. 这是总统第二次访问这个国家。
This was at a time when/during which there were no radios, no telephones or no TV sets. 曾经有一个时期，没有收音机，没有电话，也没有电视。

A．of which B．of them C．of whom D．of those 【答案】C

sized class, ________ came from the same mountain

高频考点四 特殊定语从句
I borrowed the book Sherlock Holmes from the library last week，________ my classmates recommended 例4．to me.
A．who B．which C．when 【答案】B
【解析】考查分隔式定语从句。句意：上周我从图书馆借了本《夏洛克·福尔摩斯》，这是我同学推荐给我看的书。先行词为the book Sherlock Holmes，把先行词代入定语从句后为my classmates recommended the book Sherlock Holmes to me，由此可知先行词在定语从句中作宾语，故定语从句用which引导。

【解析】考查分隔式定语从句。句意：我们将在一个月之内完成年初设定的销售目标。先行词为the sales targets，把先行词代入定语从句后为“we set the sales targets at the beginning of the year”，先行词在定语从句中作宾语，故用关系代词which引导定语从句。此题易误选C项，把a month当作了先行词，when引导定语从句时，先行词虽为表示时间的词，但在从句中要作状语，而题干中从句缺少的是宾语，由此可排除C项。
