定語從句在英語中使用非常廣泛,尤其在交際英語和閱讀理解中的使用頻率更高。對這個知識點,高考每年都有考查。
[近年真題]
(2014年高考新課標Ⅰ卷)Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit 67 is driving your family crazy.
(2015年高考新課標Ⅰ卷)Id skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River 64 are pictured by artists in so many Chinese paintings (painting).
分析句子結(jié)構(gòu),我們不難看出2015年高考新課標Ⅰ卷第64空填that和which都可以。它考查關(guān)系代詞that/which在定語從句中充當主語,跟2014年的新課標Ⅰ卷的考查重點一樣。句中的skip可以理解為go directly to some place。事實上,a dream place可以理解為省略了which is的非限制性定語從句。
另外,每年的高考英語閱讀理解部分也會出現(xiàn)大量帶有定語從句的長難句式。因此,在高中英語的學習過程中,定語從句是一個必須攻克的難關(guān)。
[定語從句的備考點]
定語從句在復(fù)合句中的作用相當于形容詞,它在句中作定語修飾名詞或代詞。復(fù)習定語從句,首先要注意它的三要素:先行詞、關(guān)系詞和從句。被定語從句修飾的詞稱為先行詞,定語從句一般放在先行詞的后面。引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)聯(lián)詞稱為關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞。關(guān)系代詞有who,whom,whose,that,which和as,關(guān)系副詞有when,where和why,它們在先行詞和定語從句之間起聯(lián)系作用,同時在意義上代表先行詞并在定語從句中擔任一個成分。
[定語從句復(fù)習的難點]
解決有關(guān)定語從句的問題時,我們可以從四個方面來考慮:1. 確定主從句部分;2. 確定先行詞;3. 把先行詞放在從句中,看先行詞在從句中是做主語、賓語還是狀語;4. 選定先行詞。
定語從句之所以難,是因為它與漢語的類似句型在組句思維上存在較大的差異,且關(guān)系詞復(fù)雜多樣,靈活性很強。學習定語從句,應(yīng)該注意以下幾點:
1. 關(guān)系詞的確定
正確選擇關(guān)系詞是掌握定語從句的關(guān)鍵。同學們的困惑就在于碰到地點、時間、原因類的先行詞時,不知道是用關(guān)系代詞還是關(guān)系副詞。如:
I still remember the day that/which we spent together in the forest.
從句還原應(yīng)該是:We spent the day together in the forest.句中the day作spend的賓語,所以不能用when。先行詞指代時間,只能用that/which或when/介詞+which連接。如:
I still remember the day when/on which I first came to Beijing.
從句還原應(yīng)該是I first came to Beijing on the day. the day在定語從句中做時間狀語。
The factory that/which we will visit is large.
從句還原應(yīng)該是:We will visit the factory. the factory在定語從句中做visit的賓語。
先行詞指代地點,只能用that/which或where/介詞+which連接。如:
The factory where/in which his father works is large.
從句還原應(yīng)該是:His father works in the factory. the factory在定語從句中做地點狀語。
注意 case,situation,point,society,condition,activity,atmosphere等都能理解為表示抽象地點的詞,如果它們在定語從句中做狀語,關(guān)系詞用where,意思是“在某種情況下,到某種地步”。如:
Today we will discuss a number of cases where beginners of English fail to use the language.
2.介詞+關(guān)系代詞
介詞后的賓語指代人時,只能用whom,不能用who或that。介詞后的賓語指代物時,只能用which,不能用that。
This?is?the?farm?on?which we worked together in the past.
I dont know the person to whom you talked just now.
3.Whose的用法
whose+名詞=the+名詞+of which=of which+the+名詞
whose+物=the+名詞+of whom=of whom+the+名詞
The?house,?whose window(the window?of?which/of which the window)?is?broken, belongs?to Mr?Smith.
The boy, whose father(the father of whom/of whom the father) is an engineer is Tom.
在定語從句的復(fù)習過程中,我們應(yīng)該加強對句子結(jié)構(gòu)的分析能力,掌握各種句式的基本特征,牢記容易出錯的關(guān)鍵點,并且重視在特定的語境中復(fù)習語法。
[定語從句在書面表達中的應(yīng)用]
學好了定語從句,不僅有利于提高閱讀理解能力,也能在書面表達中寫出一些易得高分的經(jīng)典句子。
1. 寫作中常用的幾種定語從句
(1)關(guān)系代詞who,whom,whose,that,which,as引導(dǎo)的定語從句是作文的一大亮點,尤其是which和as引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句在高考范文中更是屢見不鮮。
A sailor who has experienced no storm will never become an excellent sailor. (2015年高考福建卷作文范文)
沒經(jīng)歷過暴風雨的水手永遠不會成為一名優(yōu)秀的水手。
From this experience, I have learnt that questioning can serve as a bridge that can help us seek the truth. (2015年高考湖北卷作文范文)
從這次經(jīng)歷中,我領(lǐng)悟到質(zhì)疑可以成為幫助我們尋求真相的橋梁。
(2)關(guān)系副詞when,where,why引導(dǎo)的定語從句
The reason why?people?celebrate?the festival is that they believe it is the time when the moon is at its fullest and brightest in the whole year, and people?will?gather together eating mooncakes and appreciating the full moon. (2013年高考遼寧卷滿分作文)
人們慶祝這個節(jié)日的原因是,他們相信這時候是一年中月亮最滿、最亮的時候,人們還會聚在一起吃月餅、賞滿月。
(3)“介詞+which/whom”引導(dǎo)的定語從句
Yesrs of school life have taught me a lot of things, of which what strikes me most is that we should take care not to hurt others with our words, deliberately or by accident. (2013年高考湖北卷滿分作文)
多年的校園生活教會了我很多東西,其中使我印象最深的是我們應(yīng)該盡量不要用言語傷害別人,無論是有意還是無意。
2. 定語從句的寫法
定語從句造句可采用“三步法”:
第一步:寫出兩個簡單句;第二步:在一個簡單句中找出一個要修飾的詞匯,這個詞必須在兩個簡單句中都有;第三步:把另一個簡單句改成定語從句,要特別注意引導(dǎo)詞的選擇。例如:
第一步:(1)The foreigner is from Canada.(2)He visited our class yesterday.
第二步:在句(1)中找出一個要修飾的詞匯:the foreigner。
第三步:用句(2)充當定語從句,the foreigner是先行詞,句(2)中的代詞he指代the foreigner且在句子中作主語,故用who或that作引導(dǎo)詞。
The foreigner who/that visited our class yesterday is from Canada.
3. 定語從句寫作的幾個易錯點
(1)誤用關(guān)系詞
誤:I live in Beijing, where is the capital of China.
正:I live in Beijing, which is the capital of China.
誤:I have a friend, whos name is Liu Mei.
正:I have a friend, whose name is Liu Mei.
(2)句子殘缺
誤:There were many students took part in the English competition.
正:There were many students who took part in the English competition.
誤:Those who in favor of the proposal, please raise your hands.
正:Those who are in favor of the proposal, please raise your hands.
(3)有多余詞
誤:The film I saw it last night was really very good.
正:The film I saw last night was really very good.
誤:Last week, I returned to the village where I grew up there in my childhood.
正:Last week, I returned to the village where I grew up in my childhood.
(4)定語從句與并列句的混淆
誤:In fact, smoking is a bad habit, it does great harm to peoples health.
正:In fact, smoking is a bad habit, and it/which does great harm to peoples health.
誤:His parents told him many times not to play beside the river, it didnt help.
正:His parents told him many times not to play beside the river, but it/which didnt help.
