定語從句是高中英語語法學(xué)習(xí)的重點(diǎn)和難點(diǎn),又是高考考查的熱點(diǎn)內(nèi)容之一。在語法填空中,命題者往往通過定語從句的“分隔與干擾”作用巧妙設(shè)置干擾因素,從而使得題干結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜,解題難度加大。本文擬通過典型例句的講解與分析,總結(jié)、歸納該現(xiàn)象在廣東高考語法填空中的命題特點(diǎn)。
一、定語從句對(duì)主謂結(jié)構(gòu)的分隔
1. Anyone who finds a dead bird with a band on its legs 24 (ask) to send the band to Washington with a note telling where the bird was found.(2012佛山質(zhì)檢)
答案:is asked
分析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,可以看出句中who finds a dead bird with a band on its legs為定語從句,修飾先行詞即主句的主語anyone,因此句子缺少謂語動(dòng)詞,而根據(jù)句子意思可知主語anyone是“被要求”去做某事,所以答案為is asked。
2. The country life he was used to ________(change) greatly since the opening policy.
答案:has changed
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,可以看出句中 he was used to 為定語從句,省略的關(guān)系代詞that或者which, 修飾先行詞即主句的主語the country life,而不能對(duì)其后的謂語起任何作用,因此整個(gè)句子缺少謂語動(dòng)詞,而且句子中時(shí)間狀語since the opening policy一般與現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)連用,所以答案為has changed.
二、定語從句對(duì)賓語、定語或狀語的分隔
1. When the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman for the trouble I had caused 40 . (2007廣東高考)
答案:her
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,可以看出句中I had caused 40 是定語從句修飾前面提到的 the trouble,指代the trouble的關(guān)系代詞that或which被省略了,結(jié)合cause sb. sth.,可知缺表示人的間接賓語,故用her。
2. Can you tell me the way you thought of _______ (work) out the problem.
答案:to work
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,可以看出該題考查的是雙層定語。即you thought of 為限制性定語從句,to work out the problem 為后置定語,這兩部分都用來限制賓語the way。該題如果忽視了定語從句的分隔作用,極容易誤填working,所以我們?cè)诮獯祟}時(shí)要排除定語從句you thought of的干擾,故答案為to work。
3. The young student did all that he could ______(pass) the examinations.
答案:to pass
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,可以看出that he could (do) 是定語從句,修飾代詞all。 to pass the examinations 在句中作目的狀語。解題時(shí)應(yīng)排除定語從句that he could (do)的干擾,所以答案為to pass。
三、定語從句對(duì)賓補(bǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)的分隔
1. Mr. Green was disappointed to see that the washing machine she had had ______(repair) went wrong again.
答案:repaired
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,可以看出該題考查have sth. done 結(jié)構(gòu)。此題的難點(diǎn)在于定語從句(that /which) she had had 把賓語(that/which)與賓補(bǔ)(repaired)分隔開來。代表先行詞the washing machine的關(guān)系代詞that /which 在從句中作had had的賓語被省略了,故句子中缺少賓語補(bǔ)足語done,所以答案為repaired。
2. The managers discussed the plan that they would like to see _______ (carry) out the next year.
答案:carried
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,可以看出該題考查see sth. done 結(jié)構(gòu)。that they would like to see... out the next year是定語從句。引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)系代詞that在從句中作see的賓語,carry out作賓語補(bǔ)足語,而計(jì)劃是被執(zhí)行的,所以用過去分詞carried作賓補(bǔ)表被動(dòng)。
四、定語從句對(duì)一些固定句式的分隔
1. You can’t imagine the hard time she had _____(bring) up the children.
答案:bringing
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,結(jié)合題意和詞義,可以斷定句中的she had 是定語從句,省略了關(guān)系代詞that或which,修飾前面的time。將其還原成正常句式則為:She had the hard time (in) bringing up the children,所以答案為bringing。
2. He explained to us the use he would make _______ the money to make more people support his plan.
答案:of
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,可以看出該題考查make use of 短語。定語從句he would make of the money 省略了關(guān)系代詞that 或which,在從句中作make的賓語,指代use,所以答案為of。
五、定語從句對(duì)強(qiáng)調(diào)句的分隔
1. It is near the place ______ there is a bomb _____ we found the dead man.
答案:where;that
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,該題考查的是含定語從句的強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)。where there is bomb 是定語從句,修飾被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分the place,故正確答案為where; that。
2. It was in the lab ______ was taken charge of by Professor Zhang ______ they did the experiment.
答案:which; that
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,該題考查的是含定語從句的強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)。which was taken charge of by Professor Zhang是定語從句,修飾被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分in the lab,故正確答案為which;that。
六、定語從句對(duì)with復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)的分隔
With everything she needed _____(buy), she went home happily.
答案:bought
解析:仔細(xì)分析整個(gè)句子,該題考查with復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)的用法,其中she needed是定語從句,省略了關(guān)系代詞that,修飾先行詞everything。此處定語從句(that) she needed 的使用極容易干擾學(xué)生的思維,造成誤解,以為考查的是need to do,從而誤填to buy。而句子真正考查的是with sth. done,所以正確答案為bought。
