縱觀歷屆高考試題,定語從句仍是近五年高考的熱點。2012年高考共考了14小題,主要考查非限制性定語從句(特別是先行詞是整個句子時)。此外,“分割性定語從句”也是近年來的熱點之一。本文將綜合高考試題對定語從句考查的熱點進行歸納整理,希望對同學們有所幫助。
1 幾個常見關(guān)系詞在高考中的考查
1.1 引導定語從句并在從句中作定語的關(guān)系代詞只用whose,先行詞即可以是人,也可以是物
例1:The prize will go to the writer______ story shows the most imagination.(2011全國卷1)
A.that B.Which C.whose D.what
簡析:根據(jù)句意應(yīng)是the writer’s story shows the most imagination.故選C。
例2:Many children,______ parents are away working in big cities,are taken care of in the village.(2009安徽)
A.their B.whose C.of them D. with whom
簡析:該句意是Many children’s parents are away working in big cities.故選B。
1.2 which引導的定語從句所指的內(nèi)容不同
有時指代前面的先行詞,有時指代前面的整個句子。
例3:As a child,Jack studied in a village school,_______ is named after his grandfather.(2010全國1卷)
A.which B.where C.what D.that
簡析:which代指the village school
例4:They’ve won their last three matches,______ I find a bit surprising actually.(2009遼寧)
A.that B.when C.what D.which
簡析:which代指前面整句話They’ve won their last three matches的內(nèi)容。
1.3 when和where引導的定語從句
例5:What do you think of teaching,Bob?
I find it fun and challenging. It is a job______ you are doing something serious but interesting.(2009北京)
A.where B.which C.when D.that
簡析:根據(jù)句意應(yīng)是you are doing something serious but interesting in the job.先行詞是job,從句中缺地點狀語。故選A。
例6:She will never forget her stay there______ she found her son who had gone missing two years before.(2009四川)
A.that B.which C.where D.when
簡析:該題先行詞為stay,代入定語從句后為:She found her son who had gone missing two years before during her stay there。因此stay在此看成表時間的名詞,故選答案D。
例7:Sales director is a position _______ communication ability is just as important as sales skills.
A.which B.that C.when D.where
簡析:先行詞為position,從句中缺地點狀語,故選答案D。
2 定語從句的“分隔 ”現(xiàn)象
因從句過長,為使句子平衡起見,而將從句和所修飾的先行詞分開;有時使用“插入語”增加語言的靈活性,同時也增加做題的難度。
例7:(2011天津卷)10.The days are gone ________ physical strength was all you needed to make a living.
A.when B.that C.where D.which
簡析:先行詞為The days因從句過長,中間被are gone隔開,故答案為A.
例8:We saw several natives advancing towards our party ,and one of them came up to us,________ we gave some bells and glasses. (2006湖南)
A.to which B.to whom C.with whom D.with which
簡析:根據(jù)先行詞為one of them,中間被came up to us隔開,故答案為B.
例9:(2011北京卷)26.Mary was much kinder to Jack than she was to the others, _________,of course,make all the others upset.
A.who B.which C.what D.that
簡析:句中of course 為插入語,去掉后不影響句子意思。故答案為B.
3 誤用關(guān)系代詞
3.1 誤用 that與what
誤:All what she could do was to go back home.
正:All that she could do was to go back home.
定語從句不受what引導。All做先行詞詞時,定于從句用that引導,其次,諸如復(fù)合不定代詞nothing everything等,是先行詞,或者被形容詞最高級、序數(shù)詞等修飾的先行詞,可用that而不用which。
3.2 Who與whom誤用
誤:The audiences,most of who were women,welcomed the new actor.
正:The audiences,most of whom were women,welcomed the new actor.
關(guān)系代詞緊跟介詞后面引導定詞從句修飾人時用Whom,不能用who;同樣,關(guān)系代詞緊跟介詞后面引導定詞從句修飾物時用which如:Two boy students Chang Jiang university,for whom lives were priceless,died for saving two drowning students.
3.3 that與which誤用
誤:My house, that I bought last year,has got a lovely garden.
正:My house,which I bought last year,has got a lovely garden.非限制定語從句,用關(guān)系代詞which引導.
3.4 that 與who誤用
誤:Do you know the things and persons who they are talking about?
正:Do you know the things and persons that they are talking about?
先行詞在多個,且既是人又是物時,要用關(guān)系代詞that引導定詞從句。
當然,定語從句由于具有先行詞的復(fù)雜性、關(guān)系詞的多樣性,以及從句中成分的多變形,位置的靈活性等特點,考查的角度較多。因此,建議碰到從句時要想一想它的意義與功能,理清思路,從而為平日英語的學習和未來的高考奠定基礎(chǔ)。
