定语从句高考真题

2008年高考定语从句考题解析

定语从句为高考必考内容，规则繁多，且易与状语从句、强调句、名词性从句

等相混淆，因此，掌握定语从句的用法极为关键。2008年各省市的英语高考试

题中也出现较多的定语从句我们来看一下其中几道具有代表性的题。

1.Bynineo'clock,alltheOlympictorchbearershadreachedthetopof

MountQomolangma,appearedararerainbowsoon.（2008福建

答案：D

A.ofwhichB.onwhichC.fromwhichD.abovewhich

解析：对于非限制性定语从句的题，我们可以将它拆为两句，找到两句的共同

点（即先行词）然后再用关系代词连接。此题拆分后，逗号前为第一句，后面

为第二句。原句应该是这样的：Ararerainbowsoonappeared.这

里显然应该填上“aboveMountQomolangma”。我们可以将它改写为above

which并用来连接这两个句子，这样，这一道题依旧迎刃而解了。

2.Themanpulledoutagoldwatch,weremadeofsmall

diamonds.（2008陕西卷）

A.thehandsofwhomB.whomthehandsof

C.whichthehandsofD.thehandsofwhich答案：D

解析：“表和指针是所有关系”。这里涉及到了所有关系。在定语从句中，对于

事物的所有关系我们可以使用whose+名词，the+名词+ofwhich或of

whichthe+名词这三种形式。D项符合the+名词+ofwhich结构，所以是

正确的。

3.TheywillflytoWashington,theyplantostayfortwoorthree

days.（2008重庆）

A.whereB.theC.whichD.when答案：A

解析：首先排除B项，There引导句子，应用句号与前句隔开。因为这里的先行

词为“Washington",所以其次应该排除掉Do将后面的句子补充完整，应该是

TheyplantostayinWashingtonfortwoorthreedays.所以应该用in

which或where连接这两个句子。

4.OccasionsarequiterareIhavethetimetospendadaywiththekids.

（08山东）

A.whoB.whichC.whyD.when答案：D

解析：此题中occasions为先行词，occasion本意为atimewhensomething

happens,所以属于时间的范畴。而且后面的句子中缺少时间状语，所以应该用

when连接。如果要用which,需要改写为onwhich才可以。类似的词还

有:situation,condition,stage,case.etc.

5.Thegrowingspeedofaplantisinfluencedbyanumberoffactors,

arebeyondourcontrol.（2008湖南卷）

A.mostofthemB.mostofwhich

C.mostofwhatD.mostofthat答案：B

解析:factors为先行词，且为非限制性定语从句，所以答案应该选mostofwhicho

若答案为A,则应在mostofthem加上and,或者前面的逗号改为分号或句号。

6.I'llgiveyoumyfriend'shomeaddress,Icanbereachedmost

evenings.（08北京卷）

A.whichB.whenC.whomD.where

7Alltheneighboradmirethisfamily.theparentsaretreatingtheir

childlikeafriend.（2008安徽卷）

A.whyB.whereC.whichD.that

第六题答案：B第七题答案：D

解析：这两道题非常相似。两句的先行词分别为address和family,后面的从句

缺少地点状语，所以要用inwhich或where作为关系词连接。

第6题稍微有些难度。首先，有些同学没有理解这句话的意思，“我会给你我朋

友的家庭住址。在这个地址，大部分的晚上你都可以找到我上后面的句子如果

改写为“youcanreachmemostevenings”则更容易理解。

8.Villagersheredependonthefishingindustry,therewon'tbemuch

work.（2008上海春招）

A.whereB.thatC.bywhichD.withoutwhich

答案：D解析：这一题容易选对，句意“如果没有了捕鱼业，这里的村民就不

会有多少活干。”所以，先行词为thefishingindustry9后面的therewon'tbe

muchwork是在withoutthefishingindustry的条件下才会发生的。

9.Formanycitiesintheworld,thereisnoroomtospreadoutfurther,

NewYorkisanexample.

A.forwhichB.inwhichC.ofwhichD.fromwhich

答案：C

解析：考查非限制性定语从句，从句还原后成为“NewYorkisanexampleof

manycities”，所以选择介词of。

10.Wewentthroughaperiodcommunicationswereverydifficultinthe

ruralareas.（2008年上海卷）

A.whichB.whoseC.inwhichD.withwhich

答案：C解析：先行词为period,从句中缺少时间状语，所以应用when或in

which引导后面的定语从句。

Tips:在做定语从句相关试题的时候，我们首先要判断出来该句是否是一个定语

从句，其次找出先行词，并看从句中是否缺少成分。能否准确的分析句子的成

分是能否作对一道题的关键。
