2．When I arrived，Bryan took me to see the house ________ I would be staying.
(2013·大纲全国，24)
A．what 答案 C
解析 句意为：我到达后，布赖恩带我去看了我要住的房子。分析题意可知后句为性定语从句，关系词代替先行词house在定语从句中作地点状语，因此应选择关系副词where。 3．Many countries are now setting up national parks________animals and plants can be protected.
(2013·北京，27)
A．when C．whose 答案 D
解析 考查定语从句。句意为：眼下，很多国家正在建立一些国家公园，动物和植物在那儿可以得到保护。先行词为national parks，且定语从句中缺少地点状语，故用where引导，相当于in which。 4．He may win the competition，________he is likely to get into the national team.

解析 考查非性定语从句。此处为非性定语从句，用which引导，in which case意为“在这种情况下”。

B．when D．which
C．where

B．in that case D．in whose case
(2013·湖南，21)
B．who D．which
分析句子成分后可知，“________are good at recognizing their own strengths”是定语从句修饰先行词those，从句中缺少主语，所以用who引导。故答案选B。 6．“You can’t judge a book by its cover，”________．
A．as the saying goes old B．goes as the old saying C．as the old saying goes D．goes as old the saying 答案 C
解析 考查非性定语从句的语序。句意为：常言道，人不可貌相。as引导非性定语从句，表示“正如”，不用倒装。
7．The museum will open in the spring with an exhibition and a viewing platform ________ visitors can watch the big glasshouses being built. A．what C．when 答案 B
解析 考查定语从句。 本句主干是说“博物馆明春开放”，后面with复合结构作状语，补充信息“到时有一个展览，还有一个游客们可以观看正在建设的巨大暖房的观景台”。a viewing platform观景台，在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，应当由关系副词where引导。故正确答案为B项。 8．Finally he reached a lonely island________was completely cut off from the outside world.
(2013·山东，35)
A．when 答案 C
解析 考查定语从句。根据句子结构分析，后面为定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以答案只能选C项。 9．The book tells stories of the earthquake through the eyes of those ________ lives were affected.
(2013·福建，27)
A．whose C．who 答案 A
解析 句意为：这本书透过生活受到地震影响的人们的视角讲述地震的故事。本题的先行词是those表示人，定语从句的主语是lives，与先行词构成所属关系，所以应使用关系代词whose引导。 10．Maria has written two novels，both of ________ have been made into television series.
(2012·山东，23)
A．them 答案 C
解析 句意为：玛丽娅已写了两部小说，它们都已被拍成了电视剧。分析题干结构可以看出：Maria has written two novels是一个完整的含“主谓宾”的句子。如果后半句也是个完整的句子的话，那么题干中的两个分句中间缺少连接词and，故A项不正确。由此不难看出空格处应用关系代词which引导非性定语从句，which代替先行词two novels。that作关系代词不能放于介词之后；what不能引导定

B．where D．whom
C．which

C．which
语从句。分清句子结构是解答本题的关键。
11．After the flooding，people were suffering in that area，________urgently needed clean water，medicine and
shelter to survive. A．which C．where 答案 B
解析 指人的先行词people在非性定语从句中充当主语，所以用关系代词who引导。故选B项。 12．A lot of language learning，________has been discovered，is happening in the first year of life，so parents should talk much to their children during that period. A．as C．which 答案 A
解析 句意为：正如被发现的那样，大量的语言学习是在人生的第一年发生的，所以父母应当在那个时期和孩子多说话。空白处所在句为非性定语从句，故B、D两项可排除。由句意知空格处的关系词指代a lot of language learning is happening in the first year of life这个句子。指代某个句子时，as引导的非性定语从句可后指或前指，而which引导的从句只能前指。此处为后指，因此A项正确。 13．We live in an age________more information is available with greater ease than ever before.
(2012·浙江，9)
A．why 答案 B
解析 when引导定语从句，在从句中作时间状语，修饰先行词an age(时代)。
14．The air quality in the city，________ is shown in the report，has improved over the past two months.
(2012·福建，23)
A．that C．as 答案 C
解析 句意为：正如报告中所显示的，这个城市的空气质量在过去的两个月已经得到了改善。分析句子结构可知，两个逗号之间的部分为非性定语从句；that不能用于引导非性定语从句；it和what不能作定语从句的引导词。故选C项。
15．I wish to thank Professor Smith，without________help I would never have got this far.
(2012·天津，7)
A．who 答案 B
解析 句意为：我想要感谢史密斯教授，没有他的帮助我就不会走得这么远。whose是关系代词，引导定语从句，表示“„„的”。考生容易误选C项，因为只看到了without whom语意上相当于without Professor Smith，而忽略了题干中的help。若选C项的话，可去掉题干中的help。 16．It is the third time that she has won the race，________ has surprised us all.(2012·陕西，14)
A．that
B．where D．what

B．it D．this
B．when D．on which
C．to whom
B．it D．what
B．whose C．whom D．which
C．which
答案 C
解析 考查定语从句。所填词前有逗号，是非性定语从句，先行词是整个主句，关系词在从句中作主语，故选C。其余选项与题干不符。
17．Care of the soul is a gradual process ________ even the small details of life should be considered.
(2012·湖南，34)
A．what 答案 D
解析 句意为：心灵的护理是一个渐进的过程，在这个过程中，甚至生活中那些微小的细节都应该加以考虑。in which引导性定语从句，which代指前面的process。
18．When deeply absorbed in work，________he often was，he would forget all about eating or sleeping.
(2012·北京，26)
A．that 答案 B
解析 句意为：当他全身心地投入工作中时，他就会废寝忘食，而他经常这样(全身心地投入工作)。由引导词前面的逗号可知，这是一个非性定语从句，所以首先排除that。由定语从句的was可知，定语从句缺少表语，所以排除在定语从句中作状语的where和when。故选B项。 19．By 16∶30，________was almost closing time，nearly all the paintings had been sold.
(2012·江西，28)
A．which 答案 A
解析 从后面的closing time“打烊时间，停止营业时间”可以得知此句是在谈时间，但是此句中缺少主语，前面又有一个逗号，所以可以确定这里是一个非性定语从句，用which引导。 20．That evening，________I will tell you more about later，I ended up working very late.
(2012·大纲全国Ⅱ，8)
A．that C．what 答案 B
解析 句意为：那天晚上我一直工作到很晚，我过后会告诉你关于那晚更详细的情况。本题中两个逗号之间的部分是一个非性定语从句，关系代词which代替先行词that evening。解答本题的关键是能够正确分析句子结构。that不能引导非性定语从句；what不能引导定语从句；when在从句中作状语，不能作宾语。
B．which D．when
B．when
C．what
D．that
B．which D．when B．in what D．in which
C．which
C．where
