[例1]The place______interested me most was the Children’s Palace.
A.which B.where C.what D.in which
【解析】答案A。定语从句中需要的是主语,只能选用关系代词,选项中which用作关系代词,故答案选A。
[例2]Do you know the woman______?
A.whom I spoke B.to who spoke C.I spoke to D.that I spoke
【解析】答案C。“和某人讲话”要说speak to sb。本题全句应为Do you know the woman whom I spoke to?whom是关系代词,作介词to的宾语,可以省略。
[例3]This is the hotel______last month.
A.which they stayed B.at that they stayed
C.where they stayed at D.where they stayed
【解析】答案D。定语从句中需要的是一个作地点状语的关系副词,where是关系副词,表示地点。
[例4]Do you know the time______the Chinese Communist Party was founded?
A.which B.that C.when D.on which
【解析】答案C。when是关系副词,表示时间,在定语从句中作时间状语。
[例5]That is the day______I’ll never forget.
A.which B.on which C.in which D.when
【解析】答案A。定语从句中缺少的是宾语,which是关系代词,可以作forget的宾语。其他几个答案都不能作宾语。
[例6]He was the man______I supposed was capable of doing such a thing.
A.to whom B.of whom C.who D.whom
【解析】答案C。在这个句子中I supposed是插入语,插入语的位置很灵活,如果把它放到后面这个题就显得容易多了:He was the man______was capable of doing such a thing,I supposed。很显然定语从句中所缺的是主语,而在选项中只有C。
[例7]This is one of the best films______.
A.that have been shown this year B.that have shown
C.that has been shown this year D.that you talked
【解析】答案A。本句话的先行词是films,因此,关系代词that是复数概念,其谓语动词应用复述的被动语态have been shown。如果句中的one前面有the或the only修饰时that就视为单数。
[例8]Can you lend me the book______the other day?
A.about which you talked B.which you talked
C.about that you talked D.that you talked
【解析】答案A。“谈到某事物”应说talk about sth。about是介词,其后要用which作宾语,不能用that。
[例9]The pen______he is writing is mine.
A.with which B.in which C.on which D.by which
【解析】答案A。with有“用”的意思,介词之后只能用which,不能用that。with which在定语从句中作状语,即he is writing with a pen。
[例10]They arrived at a farmhouse,in front of______sat a small boy.
A.whom B.who C.which D.that
【解析】答案C。很显然这是个非限制性定语从句,先行词又是指的是物,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,所以答案只能是in front of which 即in front of a farmhouse。故选C。
[例11]The engineer______my father works is about 50 years old.
A.to whom B.on whom C.with which D.with whom
【解析】答案D。定语从句中缺少的是宾语,work with sb意思是“和某人一起工作”,with放在前面。with whom放在从句中即为:my father works with the engineer。故答案为D。
[例12]Is there anyone in your class______family is in the country?
A.who B.who’s C.which D.whose
【解析】答案D。定语从句中所需要的是作定语的成分,whose引导定语从句,在从句中作主语family的定语。
[例13]I’m interested in______you have said.
A.all that B.all what C.that D.which
【解析】答案A。主句中介词in缺少宾语,定语从句中也缺少宾语,C、D排除,在B项中all能做in 的宾语但是what 不能做关系词。故选A。
[例14]I want to use the same dictionary______was used yesterday.
A.which B.who C.what D.as
【解析】答案D。the same…as是固定用法,as引导定语从句时,可以作主语、宾语或表语。在本句话中,as作从句的主语。
[例15]He isn’t such a man______he used to be.
A.who B.whom C.that D.as
【解析】答案D。such…as是固定用法,as引导定语从句时,可以作主语、宾语或表语。在本题中,as作表语。故答案为D。
