考试知识点24 ＂介词＋关系代词＂引导的
定语从句
高考考试频度：★★★☆☆
考向一 ＂介词+关系代词＂引导的定语从句
●＂介词＋关系代词＂的使用方法
当关系代词在定语从句中作介词宾语时，大家一般用＂介词＋关系代词＂引导定语从句。假如指＂人＂，用＂介词＋whom＂；假如指＂物＂，用＂介词＋which＂。
●＂介词＋关系代词＂结构中介词的使用
1.通常来讲，确定关系代词前的介词，可以从以下三方面入手：①先行词的意义；②从句中的动词或形容词与先行词的固定搭配；③句子的意思。
☞I’ll never forget the time during which I spent my childhood in the country.
我从来不会忘记孩童年代我在乡村度过的时光。
2.表示＂整体和部分关系＂，介词常用of。在some，any，few，none，all，both，neither，most，each等代词或数词的前、后可以用of which/whom。
☞John invited about 40 people to his wedding，most of whom are family members.
约翰邀请了大约40人参加他的结婚典礼，他们当中绝大多数是家庭成员。
3.有时＂介词＋where＂可以引导定语从句，此时要和＂介词＋which＂引导的定语从句从意思上加以不同。
☞His head soon appeared out of the window，from where he saw nothing but trees.
他的头非常快从窗口探了出来，从那里除去树木他什么也看不到。
●在定语从句中，含介词的短语动词不可拆开用，如look after, look for等。
●＂of which / whom＂有时可以用＂whose＋名词＂结构来改写。
●当先行词为way并且定语从句中缺少状语时，一般用in which或that引导定语从句；假如定语从句中不缺少状语，则用关系代词引导。
1. In 1963 the UN set up the World Food Programme, one of ________ purposes is to relieve worldwide starvation.
A. which B. its
C. whose D. whom
【参考答案】C
【答案分析】考查定语从句。剖析句子结构可知，one of ________ purposes is to relieve worldwide starvation是非限制性定语从句，先行词是the World Food Programme，关系词在非限制性定语从句中作定语，修饰名词purposes，所以用关系代词whose引导，故选C项。句意：1963年，联合国成立了世界粮食计划署，其目的之一就是缓解世界范围内的饥荒。
2.（2016 • 江苏卷·单项填空）Many young people, most _________were well-educated, headed for remote regions to chase their dreams.
A. of which B. of them
C. of whom D. of those
【参考答案】C
【答案分析】考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是Many young people，关系代词whom指代先行词，在定语从句中作介词of的宾语。句意：不少青年都前往偏远区域追求它们的梦想，其中大多数人都受过好教育。故C项正确。
考向二 定语从句与其他句型有什么区别
1、限制性定语从句与同位语从句有什么区别
关系副词引导限制性定语从句中的关系词有跟他们含义相应的先行词，而引导同位语从句时则没与他们含义相应的先行词。
☞Sorry, I’ve forgot the day when we met for the first time.
抱歉，我记不起大家首次见面的日子了。（定语从句，先行词the day 与when含义相应）
☞I’ve no idea when we met for the first time.
我不了解大家首次是什么时间见面的。（同位语从句，idea与when没任何联系）
2、定语从句与时间状语从句有什么区别
当定语从句的引导词与时间状语从句的连接词都是when时，定语从句修饰、限制、说明时间名词，只能放在先行词的后面；而时间状语从句说明动作发生的状况，并且可以放在主句的前面。
☞Do you know the time when the class is over? 你了解下课的时间吗？（定语从句）
☞It was already five o’clock when the class was over.
=When the class was over, it was already five o’clock.
当课结束时，已经是五点钟了。（时间状语从句）
3、定语从句与地址状语从句有什么区别
当定语从句的引导词与地址状语从句的连接词都是where时，定语从句修饰、限制、说明地址名词；而状语从句则说明动作发生的地址，where没对应的地址名词或代词。
☞This is the place where we used to live a few years ago.
这就是几年前大家常居住的地方。（定语从句）
☞Let’s go where we can find a better job.
大家到大家能找到更好工作的地方去吧。（地址状语从句）
4、定语从句与强调句型有什么区别
定语从句对名词或代词的修饰和限制，关系词可能是that, which, as, who, but, 其次，句子中的It有所指；而强调句型是对某部分加大语气，强调语气的连接词只能是that, who，并且句子中的It 没任何意义；一般比较明显，而有时就很难不同，还需要依据上下文的语境来判断。
It is a book that he wants.
它到底是强调句型还是定语从句，就要从语境上来考察。假如它是用来回答What is this / that? 如此的问题，意思是：它是一本他想要的书。句子显然是定语从句。若是用来回答What does he want? 如此的问题，那样意思是：他想要的是一本书。显然，句子是强调句型。
5、定语从句与结果状语从句有什么区别
定语从句中的关系词在从句中还要作某种成分，因而从句成分不完整；而结果状语从句中的连接词不作任何句子成分，因此句子成分完整。
☞It is such an interesting book as we all like.
它是大家大伙都爱的这样有趣的书。（定语从句）
☞It is such an interesting book that we all like it.
它是一本这样有趣的书，我么大伙都爱它。（结果状语从句）
比较：It is such an interesting book that we all like. 强调句型。意思是：大家大伙都爱的是一本这样有趣的书。
6、定语从句与独立主格结构有什么区别
定语从句一般有关系词、主谓结构完整；而独立主格结构没关系词、也没谓语动词。
☞The book being very interesting, we all like it. 因为这本书有趣，大家大伙都爱它。
☞The book which / that is very interesting was published last year. 这本有趣的书是去年出版的。
1. —He wrote a lot of novels, none of ____________ were popular.
—It’s the same with his wife. She wrote some plays, but none of ___________ was a success.
A. these；them B. which；which
C. those；which D. which；them
【参考答案】D
【答案分析】本题比较容易误选A、B。选对该题的重点是：应该注意前面一句的 none of...没并列连词（说明它才是非限制性定语从句，所以其后填which）；而后面一句的none of...前有一并列连词but（说明它与前面一句构成并列句，所以其后填them）。
2. After the war, a new school building was put up ____________ there had once been a theatre.
A. that B. where
C. which D. when
3. After living in Paris for fifty years he returned to the small town _____________ he grew up as a child.
A. which B. where
C. that D. when
【参考答案】2. B 3. B
【答案分析】定语从句中有表示地址的先行词，而地址状语从句中则没；定语从句的关系词依据需要可用
＂介词+which＂来代替where，而地址状语从句则一般只能由where引导。因此第2题中无表示地址的先行词，是表示地址的状语从句，故填where，第3题中the small town是先行词，为定语从句，故填where，也可用in which替换。

题组二 能力提高
I.单项填空
1.B
【分析】考查固定短语的使用方法。句意：人类的面部表情和动物的面部表情就可控制的程度来讲是不同的。本句是定语从句，先行词是the degree，to the degree是固定短语，意为＂到……程度＂，关系词which在从句中作to的宾语，本句将从句中的介词to提至关系词which前面了。故选B。
2.C
【分析】考查动词短语的辨析。句意：对枪的控制是美国人一直争论的一个话题。argue about意为＂争论＂；argue with意为＂和……争论＂，所以此处应用介词about。故选C。
3.B
【分析】考查非限制性定语从句的使用方法。在这个非限制性定语从句中，先行词是＂Eric received training in computer for one year＂这件事，关系词在从句中作介词after的宾语，所以关系词应用which。故选B。
4.D
【分析】考查＂介词+关系代词＂结构。句意：真的的友谊犹如健康，直到失去时才知其可贵。此处不可以用＂介词+指示代词＂结构；先行词为friendship，指物，故不可以用whom；此处表示所属关系，故介词只可以用of，所以B项不符合句意。故选D。
【温馨提示】本题易误选A项或者C项。但考生应该注意,用whom时先行词应指人；如选A,可在逗号后加上连词and。
5.C
【分析】考查＂介词+关系代词＂引导的定语从句。剖析句子结构可知选C。of which中的which指17 000 islands,17 000 islands为先行词。
6. C
【分析】考查定语从句和表语从句。句意：老人指着那个屋顶上长着很多灌木的房屋对我说，那就是我将要待的地方。house是先行词，与roof是所属关系，故用whose引导；＂that was ________ I would stay＂是told的宾语从句，该从句中that是主语，＂_________ I would stay＂是表语从句，从句中缺少地址状语，所以用where引导。
7. C
【分析】考查定语从句。句意：大家特别感谢数以千计的志愿者们，没他们不知疲倦的工作，所有这类都不可能做到。volunteers与tireless work是所属关系，所以用关系代词whose，在从句中作定语。
8. D
【分析】考查状语从句。句意：——你认识Jane很长时间了吗？——认识的时间不长，是从大家开始服务于米兰世博会时认识的。依据句意可知，应选since，表示＂自……以来，自……将来＂。

III. 语法填空
【语篇解析】这是一篇说明文。研究表明：和八小时的睡眠相比，一个晚上六到七个小时的睡眠更好。
1. to lose
【分析】考查固定句式。There is no need to do sth.是固定句式，意为“没必要做某事”，故填to lose。
2. widely
【分析】考查副词。该空修饰动词believe，需用副词，故填widely。
3. has
【分析】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：建议睡眠不足的人放松休息对大家需要服用安眠药的想法有要紧意义。依据下文可知，该句应用一般目前时态。且主语为动名词，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式，故谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式，故填has。
4. its
【分析】考查代词。句意：因为电力、电视、网络等的广泛用，睡眠已从其自然水平上降低了。 该空修饰后面的名词level，应该用形容词性物主代词，故填its。
5. expectation
【分析】考查名词。句意：大家期望大家每晚睡八到九个小时，假如大家将现代科技拿开，大家就会睡得更多。该题【分析】考查There be+n.结构，该空作表语，因此应该填名词。且依据“There be+n.结构中，be动词和n.维持形式上的一致”原则，该空应该填单数名词expectation。
6. the
【分析】考查冠词。句意：大家首次证明这不是事实。truth常常和定冠词the连用，故该空填the。
7. who
【分析】考查定语从句。句意：大部分同意研究的人每晚睡眠时间不到7个小时，平均睡眠时间只有6小时25分钟。__________were studied是定语，修饰those，指人，引导词在从句中作主语，当先行词为those时，引导词只可以用who。故填who。
8. recommended
【分析】考查非谓语动词。句意：这比西方社会常常推荐的8小时要少得多。该空作定语，修饰the eight hours，the eight hours和recommend之间是被动关系，需用过去分词作定语，故填recommended。
9. with
【分析】考查介词。句意：尽管这样，与工业化社会的人相比，研究职员身体健康，肥胖率更低，血压水平更好，心脏更健康。该空后面是三个名词，且该空表示随着状况，故该空填介词with。
10. healthier
【分析】考查比较级。句意：尽管这样，与工业化社会的人相比，研究职员身体健康，肥胖率更低，血压水平更好，心脏更健康。该空修饰名词hearts，应用形容词。且依据前文的lower，better可知，该空应该填healthy的比较级，故填healthier。

1.B
【分析】句意：关于人类为何哭的时候会流泪，科学家已经提出了不少理论，没一个得到证明。此句为定语从句，先行词是theories，指物，定语从句用＂代词+介词+关系代词which＂引导。故选B。
2.C
【分析】句意：创造一种雇员感觉是其中一员的环境是一个大的挑战。剖析句子结构可知，＂__________ employees feel part of a team is a big challenge＂是一个定语从句，先行词是 atmosphere ，关系词在定语从句中作状语，因此用关系副词where或＂介词+关系代词which＂，表示＂在……中＂用in，再结合选项可知答案为C。
3.B
【分析】句意：他写了很多儿童书本，几乎一半在1990年左右出版。先行词是books，定语从句中of缺少宾语，故选B项。
