1、定语从句考点聚焦(上)定语从句是中学阶段必须掌握的重要语法之一，也备受历年高考命题者青睐。本文拟就历届高考对定语从句的考查作一归纳，望能对同学们有所裨益。 一、考查关系代词 that 和 which 的区别 1Finally ，the thief handed everything _ he had stolen to the police（MET87） Awhich Bwhat Cwhatever Dthat 2All _ is needed is a supply of oil（MET89） Athe thing Bthat Cwhat Dwhich 答案及简析： 1D。2B。that 和
2、 which 都能指物，在定语从句中作主语或宾语，但下列情况下，常用 that，不用 which：先行词是 all， everything，anything，nothing 等不定代词。先行词指物且被形容词最高级、序数词或 all，no，only，the very，the last 等修饰。先行词既指人又指物。 二、考查关系代词 whose 3A child _ parents are dead is called an orphan（MET86） Awhich Bhis Cwhose Dwith 答案及简析： 3C。关系代词 whose 在定语从句中作定语，修饰其后的名词，意为“的”。有时“
3、whose n”可转换为“nofwhich whom”。如： The building whose roof（the roof of which）we can see from here is a hotel This kind of book is for the students whose native language（the native language of whom）isnt English 三、考查关系代词与关系副词的差异 4After living in Paris for fifty years he returned to the small town _ he grew up as a child（NMET96） Awhich Bwhere Cthat Dwhen 5I also enjoyed the evenings when we spent together（NMET95 短文改错） 答案及简析： 4B。5去掉 when 或 whenthatwhich。如何选用关系代词和关系副词呢？关键是看先行词在定语从句中作什么成分。决不能只按先行词是地点名词就用 where，先行词是时间名词就用 when，先行词是 reason 就用 why。有时，命题者还会在先行词与引导词之间加入附加成分，影响考生正常解题思路，做题时，要特别注意。
