D.none参考答案：D5.Helaughedatmythird-gradephoto,theone_______myhairhadbeenexpandedtonewdimensionsbyanespeciallycoldandwindyday.A.when

B.thatC.where

D.what参考答案：C【详解】考查定语从句关系词。本题定语从句的先行词是指代photo的代词theone，定语从句的结构很完整，要用关系副词where引导定语从句，并在句中做状语。when的先行词通常是指时间的名词代词，关系代词that要在句中做主语、表语或者表语；而what不能引导定语从句，故C项正确。【点睛】本题考查了关系代词where引导的定语从句用法，在定语从句中,关系副词where所指代的先行词只能是表示地点的名词吗?先行词不表示地点时,如何判断是否使用Where引导定语从句。当先行词不是表示地点的名词时,该如何判断是否使用where引导定语从句呢?由上文给出的例句可知,含有抽象地点意义的名词能用关系副词where来引导,并且在每个例句的点评中笔者都反复强调“定语从句不缺主语和宾语,where在从句中充当的是状语”。由此,我们可以大胆地进行引申和归纳,提出“当先行词不表示地点时,使用where引导定语从句”的判断方法。首先,判断定语从句的结构:定语从句应该不缺少主语和宾语,而是缺少状语。其次,观察先行词:先行词是除了时间名词(在这种情况下会用when)和原因名词(在这种情况下会用why)以外的其他任何名词。第二个条件之所以成立,是因为定语从句中的状语成分一般就是由when、where和why等三个引导词来引导的。为了更深刻地理解这种判断方法,请看以下几个例句:1.Englishisa“fixed-word-order”languagewhereeachphrasehasafixedposition.英语是一种“词序固定”的语言,这种语言的特点就是每个短语都有固定的位置。点评:首先,我们来判断定语从句“eachphrasehasafixedposition”的结构:该从句并不缺少主语和宾语,但是缺少状语。其次,我们来看先行词:先行词是fixed-word-orderlanguage,它既不表示时间,也不表示原因。由此可知,此处用where来指代先行词,表示“在‘词序固定’这样的语言中”。2.AttheAcademy,Platotaughtthestudentsthroughtheuseofdebates,wheretwoormorepeopletookdifferentideasofanargument.在学院里,柏拉图采用的教学方法是组织辩论,在辩论中,两个或多个学生各持一方观点。点评:首先,我们来判断定语从句“twoormorepeopletookdifferentideasofanargument”的句子结构:该从句不缺少主语和宾语,但是缺少状语。其次,我们来看先行词:先行词是debates,它既不是时间名词,也不是原因名词。由此可知,此处应用where引导定语从句,表示“在辩论中”。3.However,beingenthusiasticisn’tforeveryoneandnoonelikesfalseenthusiasm,whereapersonpretendstobeexcitedevenaboutthemosttrivialpoints.然而,热情并非适合每一个人,而且也没有人喜欢那种连区区小事都假装兴奋不已的虚假热情。点评:首先,我们判断定语从句“apersonpretendstobeexcitedevenaboutthemosttrivialpoints”的句子结构:该从句不缺少主语和宾语,但是缺少状语。其次,我们来看先行词:先行词是falseenthusiasm,它既不是时间名词,也不是原因名词。因而,此处用where来引导定语从句,表示“在‘虚假的热情’这种状态下”。通过对上面三个例句的点评,相信读者已经能够掌握在先行词不表示地点的情况下,如何判断是否使用where来引导定语从句了。此外,我们需要仔细体会例句中where指代先行词时所表达的含义,分别是“在……样的语言中”“在……中”“在……样的状态下”,都带有抽象的地点意义。6.Wegivedogstime,spaceandlovewecanspare,and______,dogsgiveustheirall.

3.设置语境，考查学生的分析推理能力。这类题主要是通过短文中上下语境所透露的信息进行解题，首先要正确理解所给信息，在进行合理分析和推断，这种语境信息一定要遵循逻辑。第13小题。根据空后的“Icouldn'tevenliftafingeratthattime”可知，那个时候，甚至边一个手指都动不了。可知“我的身体已经陷入了彻底的瘫痪（paralyzed），脖子以下都不能活动”。分析选项（A.shortened缩短；B.influenced影响；C.paralyzed瘫痪；D.linked连接）可知，C符合题意，故选C。

4.注意固定搭配。这类题与语法结构题有点类似，但主要惯用搭配，讲究词与词的搭配，涉及到关联词、动词、副词、形容词、名词和短语等。21.阅读下面短文.从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B.C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。In1990areportwaspublishedaboutwhattheearthmightbelike20yearsfromthenon.Thereportwasaresultofathree-year
