語法精析精練

定語從句

考點提示：

1. 定語從句的考查主要在單項填空題中；短文改錯題中有時也出現考題；它是書面表達題中的常用且很有用的結構；定語從句在閱讀理解題中對于句子的正確理解和信息的準確把握極其重要。

2. 定語從句考題的解題關鍵是確定關系詞在從句中充當什么句子成分。

3. 注意關系詞的用法區別及特殊用法。

語法精析

一、定語從句的概念

定語從句由關系詞引導，在整個復合句中充當定語，修飾一個名詞或代詞；被定語從句修飾的名詞或代詞即稱為先行詞。從句前面是否有由從句修飾的名詞或代詞，即先行詞，是判斷該從句是否是定語從句的關鍵。

二、引導定語從句的關系詞

注意：

1. 關系詞that和why不引導非限制性定語從句。

2. whose + 名詞可換成the + 名詞 + of which/whom或of which/whom + the +名詞。

3. as引導限制性定語從句時，as多與such， the same， as 或so連用，構成such/the same/as/so... as... 固定結構。as引導非限制性定語從句時，它指代主句的整個內容，可表示“正如……”的意思。

4. 關系副詞when，where和why引導定語從句，可換成：介詞 + 關系代詞which。

三、定語從句關系詞的判定及用法

（一）確定引導定語從句的正確關系詞的思路首先要確認該從句是定語從句；然后根據先行詞是指代人、物還是指代時間、地點（注意：case，condition，situation，position，point，scene，activity，stage等可視為抽象地點名詞）、原因，由此判斷選用關系代詞還是關系副詞（或“相應的介詞 + which”）。若判定應該用關系代詞，則根據先行詞指代人還是物、關系詞在從句中應該充當什么成分以及其他特殊用法，最后判斷出正確的關系代詞；若判定應該用關系副詞，則根據先行詞的指代，選用相應的關系副詞。但注意定語從句也可能由“相應的介詞 + 關系代詞which”引導。

注意：

先行詞指代時間、地點、原因時，不一定就用關系副詞引導定語從句。若從句缺少主語、賓語或表語時，則從句應由關系代詞which或that引導。

（二）“介詞 + 關系代詞”引導定語從句

1.“介詞 + 關系代詞”引導定語從句，其中關系代詞只能用whom（指人）和which（指物）。另外有變化形式：①代詞（one/all/both/most/many/some/half等）或數詞 + of + which/whom；②“介詞 + whose + 名詞”；③“介詞 + which + 名詞”（= and + 介詞 + this/that + 名詞）。如：Tom spent four years in college， during which time he learned French.

2. 介詞 + which/whom引導定語從句時，確定介詞的方法：根據定語從句中的謂語動詞與先行詞的習慣搭配或先行詞本身的搭配習慣。

3. 關系副詞when/where/why 可替換成介詞 + which 。

4. whose + n. = the + n. + of which/whom或of which/whom + the + n.

（三）幾組關系代詞的用法區別（略）

1. 關系代詞that與which的區別

2. 關系代詞as和which引導非限制性定語從句的區別

3. 關系代詞who與whom的區別

（四）關系代詞的省略

在定語從句中充當賓語或表語的關系代詞（as例外）可以省略；或從句里有there be句型時，作主語的關系代詞?？墒÷?。但是，介詞后面的關系代詞或引導非限制性定語從句的關系代詞不能省略。

（五）定語從句中的主謂一致

引導定語從句的關系代詞在從句中作主語時，從句的謂語動詞的單復數與先行詞一致。

第二部分 閱讀理解（第一節共10小題，第二節5小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

第一節

A

The green lights in the robot’s eyes turn red， and then you know you’re in trouble！ That’s how it happens in the movies when robots begin to attack the human. But could it really happen？

Dr Daniel Wilson has recently published a book called How to Survive a Robot Uprising. Of course， Dr Wilson knows that his book is funny， but， he adds， “The book offers a summary of limitations of current robotic science.”

For example， if you want to confuse a robot who is trying to understand what you’re saying， speak in a funny accent， or make a lot of background noise. Voice recognition software only works with very simple information unless it is “trained” to recognize a particular person’s speech patterns， and even then， such software has a hard time figuring out non—speech noise when it’s trying to “hear” human speech. So if you want to have a conversation with another human and you don’t want a robot to understand it， just take your friend and the robot to a loud party.

Robots can be confused by the unpredictable things. If one is warning to kill you， tell it that you love it and maybe asking for a nice hug might just throw it off its game. Robots have a hard time understanding sudden changes. Robots might be able to move faster than humans along smooth surfaces， but they have a hard time moving on rough ways. So if a robot is running after you， you should run through mud， dive into water and swim away for a while， slide across some ice， or run up a rocky hillside. Even a small amount of dirt or water is likely to disable most robots.

“A kind—hearted homeowner kept a baby elephant in her backyard for months during the Second World War because zookeepers feared the animal would be killed in a bombing raid，” it has been revealed.

Sheila lived at Belfast Zoo until she was moved to her unusual home in 1941 as the city experienced the so—called Belfast Blitz.

She was one of the lucky ones at the zoo， in the north of the city.

The Ministry of Public Security ordered 23 zoo animals to be killed in case they got free and attacked people， including a tiger， a black bear， two polar bears and six wolves.

But instead of meeting the same fate， Sheila was walked down the road by keepers to a red—brick house on the Whitewell Road where a woman gave her sanctuary（保護）in her back—yard for several months until the bombing was over.

Now， as part of the zoo’s 75th anniversary， managers are trying to identify the woman who gave the elephant its wartime sanctuary， known only as “the elephant angel”.

All it has to go on are a couple of grainy black and white photographs of two women sitting on a garden seat watching Sheila drinking out of a tin bucket beside the back door of the house.

Zoo manager Mark Challis said， “The care provided by our mystery lady is unique（獨一無二的）to zoo history and we would like to make contact with her family and properly document this gap（缺口）in our past.”

Happily Sheila went on to survive the war， living another 25 years until her death at the zoo in 1966.

40. Why were some zoo animals killed according to the passage？

A. To avoid being killed in the bombing.

B. To protect them from being robbed.

C. To prevent them from attacking each other.

D. To avoid their doing harm to people.

41. What can we know from the passage？

A. The Second World War started in 1941.

B. Sheila was the only one surviving the war.

C. The zoo hasn’t found the mystery woman.

D. The helpful lady didn’t want to be famous.

42. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？

A. An Elephant Escaped Being Killed in the War

B. Many Animals Died in the Second World War

C. Belfast Zoo Celebrated Its 75th Anniversary

D. Looking for the Elephant Angel， a Woman

C

Are some people born clever， and others born stupid？ Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience？ Strangely enough， the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth， and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand， a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and different surroundings. Thus the limits of persons’ intelligence are fixed at birth， and whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This idea， now held by most experts， can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is， the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population， it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If， on the other hand， we take two twins， they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters， parents and children， usually have similar intelligence， and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one， for example， to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing， and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in touch with each other， but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

43. If a child is born with low intelligence， he can ___ .

A. become a genius

B. still become a genius if he should be given special education

C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings

D. not reach his intelligence limits in his life

44. In Paragraph 2， the underlined sentence “if we take two unrelated people at random from population” means “if we ___ ”.

A. pick two persons without any plan

B. take out two different persons

C. choose two persons who have relations

D. choose two persons with different intelligence

45. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows ___ .

A. the importance of their intelligence

B. the role of environment on intelligence

C. the importance of their relations

D. the part that birth plays

第二節 下面文章中有5處（第46～50題）需要添加小標題。請從以下選項（A、B、C、D、E和F）中選出符合各段意思的小標題。選項中有一項是多余選項。

A. New teachers’ opinions of involving parents

B. An argument over an assignment（課外作業）

C. A conflict between expectation and reality

D. Difficulties in sharing goals

E. The best way to score high

F. Proper ways of parental involvement

46. _______________

An Iowa high school adviser gets a call from a parent protesting the “C” her child received on an assignment. “The parent argued every point in the essay，” recalls the adviser， who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about the grade. “It became apparent that she’d written it.”

47. _______________

In a survey， 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children education is a priority（優先權）at their school， but only 25% described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying”. When asked to choose the biggest challenge they face， 31% of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73% of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies.

48. _______________

At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited， when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities， when cell phone and e—mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent—teacher conference， it’s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.

49. _______________

Everyone says the parent—teacher conference should be pleasant， civilized， a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel， and certainly what all parents feel， is anxiety and panic.

50. _______________

When a teacher asks parents to be partners， he or she doesn’t necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be sitting down the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school， what happens at home matters much more. According to research based on the National Education Longitudinal Study， a sample of nearly 25，000 eighth graders， among four main areas of parental involvement （home discussion， home supervision（監督）， school communication， and school participation）， home discussion was the most strongly related to academic achievement.
