20. He stayed there for quite a long time, during ________ time he learned much spoken English. A. that
B. this C. which D. same 答案与解析：
1. A. 主语与run(延伸)是主动关系，所以用现在分词。Those指街道，所以不用who而用that来引导定语从句。
2. B. 因为在此题中where引导定语从句，表示“在这种种况下”，与in which相当。 3. A. 因为先行词是Beijing而不是this autumn所以用where引导定语从句。
4. B. 答案B是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，另外，to后还省略了动词原形paint。 5. C. 因为of which引导定语从句，并在从句中作定语。of which the telephone number = whose telephone number。
6. D. 因为这是个非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面一句话的内容。
7. B. 因为表示“阶段、程度、地步”的the point在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用where引导定语从
句。
8. B. 因为先行词是research centers并在定语从句中作状语，所以用where。
9. C. 因为当先行词是表示事物的all, little, few, much, anything, everything, nothing等时，多用that引导定语从句。
10. 因为先行词是the time，且在定语从句中作状语，所以用when引导。此题的先行词与定语从句被
主句谓语分开了，要善于辨别。
11. B. 先行词是Taiwan is a part of China整个主句，一般由as或which引导定语从句，但which引导
的定语从句只能放在主句之后，另外，as有“正如”之意，而which没有，所以用as。顺便说说，原句改为：It is known to everybody that Taiwan is…= What is known to everybody is that Taiwan is… 12. A. 两空都是考查定语从句，先行词分别是the day和Shen Zhou V was launched, the
day在定语从句中作状语，用when引导；后句是非限制性定语从句，不能用that，要用which。 13. A. 因为替代不可数名词 (the bread) 只能用that，排除B和D；又因为先行词that (the bread) 在定语从句中作buy的宾语，用which，所以选A。 14. D. 当定语从句的先行词前有such, so, as等词语时，由as引导，并且as在定语从句中作主语或宾
语，as在此题中作dream of的宾语。注意：在表示“如此…以致…”的such /so…that…结构中，that不作任何句子成份。 15. B. 考查非限制性定语从句，all of whose homes = all of their homes他们所有的房子。
16. D. 因为先行词是前面整个句子，且在从句中作主语，所以用which。of course是插入语。 17. D. 将疑问句改为陈述句：this research center is…显然缺少先行词，必须加上代词the one来作先
行词，又因定语从句不缺主语或宾语，所以用关系副词where。假若在this后加the，就选where，请想想这是为什么。 18. A. 因为先行词是the days，并在定语从句中作状语。
19. B. 当先行词前有so时，用as引导定语从句，as在从句中作主语或宾语。假若在lift后加上it，答案就是that了，请想想这是为什么。
20. C. 因前后均的句子，必须要选连词，排除B和D；又因在介词后不能用that来引导定语从句，
所以选C。during which time在那段时间里。
1. The bridge ____ a big ship can go has been built. A. under which B. under that C. in
which D. on which 解析：考查定语从句随意性关系引导词。基本常识：定语从句随意性关系引导词由搭配介词+which/whom构成，先行词指人用前者，先行词指事/物用后者。定语从句引导词的判断方法为将先行词想方设法放入从句，使从句成为一个完整且有先行词成分的陈述句。 此句中，先行词为the bridge; 从句为a big ship can go, 二者构成的完整句为 A big ship can go under the bridge. 因此， 答案为A 2. The book ____ is torn is mine. A. the cover of which B. the cover of that C. which the cover D. whose cover of 解析：考查定语从句随意性关系引导词以及所属关系引导词。 此句中先行词为the book, 从句应为cover is torn, 二者构成的完整句为the cover of the book is torn. 因此随意性关
- 2 -
系引导词结构为the cover of which或所属关系引导词结构whose cover. 因此，答案为A
3. He talked about the classmates and the school ____ he had visited. A. who B. that C. which D. about which 解析：考查先行词即指人又指物的定语从句相同意思引导词。定语从句相同意思引导词基本要点，无论限定性还是非限定性定语从句的主宾表引导词均为相同意思引导词。
限定性定语从句中，相同意思引导词有一般引导词who, whom, which以及通用引导词that. 先行词指人，作从句主语用who, 作从句定语或作从句中介词的宾语均用引导词whom, 先行词指物， 用引导词which, 限定性定语从句中，作相同意思的引导词均可以用that替代。此外，限定性定语从句中作宾语的引导词可以省略。非限定性定语从句中，相同意思引导词只能为一般引导词who/whom/which， 不能用通用引导词that.非限定性定语从句中，前一完整句在从句中作主宾表成分时，也要看作是定语从句相同意思引导词，先行词指事物的情况，用引导词which.此句中，先行词为the classmates and the school， 从句为he had visited, 二者构成的完整句为He had visited the classmates and the school. 所以不难发现先行词在限定性定语从句中作visited的宾语使用，先行词既指人又指物。 因此，答案为B
4. You have seen the girl ____ sister is a Chinese teacher. A. whom B. of whom C. whose D. of which 解析：考查定语从句所属关系引导词。此句先行词为the girl，定语从句为sister is a Chinese teacher，二者构成的完整句为The girl's sister is a Chinese teacher. 先行词的's所有格构成的所属关系结构在从句中作定语。因此， 答案只能为C.
定语从句固定关系引导词相关要点：先行词在定语从句中除作从句主宾表成分以外的成分，均为相关意思引导词，其中包括固定关系引导词和随意性关系引导词。固定关系引导词只有when(时间关系)，where（地点关系），why(先行词为the reason,原因关系）whose（所属关系，包括's所有格关系和of 所有格关系，由whose修饰的名词成分前不能用冠词成分，whose应为名词的前置性定语成分）；随意性关系引导词为相关搭配介词+which/whom构成的引导词结构充当。
5. We should do all ____ is useful to people. A. / B. that C. it D. which 解析：考查限定性定语从句中先行词为不定代词的相同意思引导词。 此句中先行词all为不定代词，从句为is useful to people，从句缺主语， 二者构成的完整句为All is useful to people.为了便于理解，All =All the things/ everything.所以从句的完整句还可以写成Everything is useful to people; 或 All the things are useful to people. 因此，答案为B
6. We came to a place ____ they had never paid a visit before. A. which B. in which C. on
which D. to which 解析：考查定语从句随意性关系引导词。此句先行词为a place, 从句为they had never paid a visit before, 二者构成的完整句为They had never paid a visit to the place before. 因此，答案为D。
此句的可转换概念进行相同意思引导词的考查，题干为We came to a place _____ they had never visited before. 其答案可以为which/that/省略引导词。
7. Those ____ finished doing it put up your hands. A. who have B. who has C. which have D. have 解析：考查为指示代词在从句中作主语的指代分析以及引导词的数量。此句中，those为定语从句的先行词，相当于those students/clerks, finished diong it为定语从句成分，从句缺主语以及谓语动词的完成时态助动词。主语指人，用一般引导词who, 引导词数量与先行词一致为复数。 因此， 答案为A
9. The man ____ was a friend of mine. A. that you just talked to B. whom you just talked to him
C. who you just talked to him D. which you just talked to 解析：考查完整的定语从句。此句中先行词在从句中作介词宾语，先行词相同意思用引导词充当， 先行词指人。因此，答案为A 10. I went to the school ____ my father once worked. A. that B. which C. where D. on which 解析：考查定语从句相关意思引导词。此句先行词the school, 定语从句my father once worked,二者构成的完整句o为My father once worked in the school. in the school可以用固定关系引导词中的地点关系引导词where表示, 也可以用随意性关系引导词 in which表示。 因此，答案为C
11. I shall never forget those years ________ I lived in the country with the farmers, _________has a great effect on my life. A. that; which B. when; which C. which; that D. when; who 解析：前一空
- 3 -
考查定语从句相关意思引导词；后一空考查定语从句整句先行词相同意思引导词。前一定语从句的完整句为I lived in the country with the farmers those years. 先行词在从句中作非主宾表成分，先行词与时间相关。后一定语从句的完整句在理解基础上的意思转换为The experience has a great effect on my life. The experience= I lived in the country with the farmers those years。所以为整句先行词在从句中作主语。 因此，答案为B
12. The weather turned out to be very good, _______was more than we could expect. A. what B. which C. that D. it 解析：考查定语从句整句先行词在从句中作主语。非限定性定语从句在意思理解基础上的完整句为This natural phenomenan was more than we could expect. This natural phenomenan= The weather turned out to be very good. 因此，答案为B
13. Carol said the work would be done by October, ___personally I doubt very much. A. it B. that C. when D. which 解析：考查定语从句整句先行词在从句中作宾语。 非限定性定语从句的完整句为Personly I doubt that the work would be done by October very much. 因此， 答案为D
14. Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play, _____, of course, made the others unhappy. A. who B. which C. this D. what 解析：考查非限定性定语从句整句先行词在从句中作主语。非限定性定语从句完整句为It made the others unhappy that Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play. It=Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play. 在从句中构成形式主语与真实主语关系。因此，答案为B
15. _________is known to all, China will be an _________powerful country in 20 or 30 years' time.
A. That; advancing B. This; advanced C. As; advanced D. It; advancing 解析：前一空考查前置性非限定性定语从句整句先行词在从句中作主语，后一空为与动作趋向相关的非谓语分词形容词在从句中作前置性定语。非限定性定语从句整句先行词在从句中作主语，只能用as引导，以职高方法理解，可以为固定表达结构的插入语来理解，as is known to all. 与动作趋向相关的分词形容词，ing分词表示动作正在进行或动作即将产生，ed分词表示动作已经结束，此句中advancing country表示发展中国家， advanced country表示发达国家. 因此，答案为C。
