1、定语从句

1.1、定语从句的概念

问：什么是定语从句？

答：用来修饰前面的名词或者代词的具有完整的主谓结构的句子就叫着定语从句。 定语从句有两个必备的基本元素。一个是先行词；一个是关系词。

例: A rich person is not the one who has the most, but is the one who needs the least. 这句话中有两个定语从句：who has the most；who needs the least。

对于定语从句有两个必备的基本元素：一个是先行词，一个是关系词。 先行词：定语从句中用来修饰的对象。（one） 关系词：用来修饰、引导定语从句的词。（who） 1.2、定语从句的先行词

①、名词或代词做先行词。

例：He laughs best who laughs last. 先行词：He.

②、短语做先行词。

Many of life’s problems which were solved by asking family members, friends or colleagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve.

先行词：Many of life’s problems. ③、用句子做先行词。

Ⅰ、The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.

先行词：The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought. Ⅱ、I am a student, which you all know. 先行词：I am a student.

④、当先行词与关系词被割裂时是如何表现的。

例如：Today, stepladders carry labels several inches long that warn, among other things, that you might -- surprise! -- fall off. 先行词：labels. 关系词：that.

找先行词的方法。反证法。把它带进去。哪一个是通顺的，哪一个就是先行词。 找先行词的方法： Ⅰ、翻译定语从句。 Ⅱ、结合先行词的结构特点和位置特征在关系词之前寻找与定语从句的意思的有逻辑关系相符合的词。 1.3、定语从句里面的关系代词的用法

①、常用的关系代词：which, that, who, whom。

whom现在用的很少。前面有介词只能用which，不能用that。 ②、关系代词在考试中的特殊情况。 Ⅰ、what：

一、它是子母同体。相当于一个关系代词以及一个先行词。What前面不应该再出现先行词。 如果前面已经一个关系词，就不能用what来引导。

例如：You can have everything what you like. （×） what=all that，所以这儿不能用what。

You can have everything that you like. （√）

真题：All D is a continuous supplying of the basic necessities of life

A. what is the need B. the things need C. for our needs D. that is need 二、what单独使用，后面不加名词。 例如：She is not what she used to be.

what即做前面句子的宾语，又做后面句子的宾语。 三、what 后面加名词

例如：What money I have has been given to you. (不是定语从句) 1997年考题： A he knows about it is out of date and in accurate. A. What little B. So much C. How much D. So little Ⅱ、as： 一、like。 二、作为。 三、when。

四、引导定语从句。即可引导限制性定语从句，也可以引导非限制性定语从句。 （一）、as引导非限制性定语从句

例如：I was a boy which you know. which可以用as替换。

As is so often pointed out knowledge is a two edge weapon which can be used equally for good or evil. （二）、as引导限制性定语从句

as引导限制性定语从句一般式固定用法。如as?as, such?as。考试中往往考固定搭配。

例如：Such a student as works hard were be sure to succeed. Ⅲ、than 作为关系代词可以引导定语从句：

More families consist of one parent households or two working parents; consequently, children are likely to have less supervision at home A was common in the traditional family structure.

A. than B. that C. which D. as than 作为关系代词可以引导定语从句的特点：

一、than作为关系代词引导词在从句中一般必须做主语或者作宾语。 二、than 前面的主句必须要有比较级

三、比较级所修饰的名词就是than指代的对象 1.4、关系副词

①、when引导的定语从句。

Ⅰ、先行词必须是表示时间的名词。

Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.

Ⅱ、如何区分when引导的定语从句和状语从句。

用句子表示状语就是状语从句。例如：When I go to school, I will work hard. 如何区分when引导的定语从句和状语从句，从两方面区分：

一、when 引导的定语从句前一定有表示时间的名词；when 引导的状语从句前没有表示时间的名词。 二、从翻译的角度看如果是引导的定语从句可以不翻译。如果是状语从句就必须翻译成“当??时候”。 when=on which (在定语从句中).

②、where引导的定语从句。 where=in which.

Ⅰ、where引导的从句先行词必须是表示地点的名词。

例如：I was born in Beijing where the Olympic games will be held. Ⅱ、先行词表示地点，不一定用where来引导。

例如：I have never been to Beijing, but it’s the place C .

A. where I’d like to visit. B. in which I’d like to visit. C. I most want to visit. (省略了which) D. that I want to visit it most.

2、名词从句

2.1、名词从句的本质

①、概念：就是把一个完整的句子当一个名词来使用。

那么名词从句就具备了名词所具备的所有性质。从句可以做主语、宾语、表语、同位语四种成分。 ②、引导名词从句常用的连词。有三类： Ⅰ、that；

Ⅱ、whether, if；

Ⅲ、when, where , how等连接副词或what, who, whose等连接代词。 ③、that引导的名词性从句不能做任何句子成分。 what一定在从句中充当主语或者宾语。 which 和whose 后面必须接名词。

例如：Concerns were raised D witness might be encouraged to exaggerate their stories in court to ensure guilty verdicts.

A. what B. when C. which D. that ④、多重的名词从句现象。

例如：I realized that what I said was not exactly what meant to say.

考题：Prof. Lee’s book will show you D can be used in other contexts. [A] that you have observed. [B] that how you have observed. [C] how that you have observed. [D] how what you have observed. 2.2、名词从句中的主语从句

主语从句有如下几种表示方式：

①、用which, that放在句首引导主语从句。

例如：That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. ②、用it is +v_ed + that?

例如：It is believed that you are good boy. ③、用whether引导主语从句。

例如：Whether the eyes are the windows of the soul is debatable.

3、宾语从句

及物动词后面的宾语从句。

2005年例句：Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us?

4、表语从句

就是一句话做另一个句子的表语，就是把从句放在系动词的后面。

1997年例句：A report consistently brought back by visits to the US is how friendly, cautious and hopeful

most Americans were to them.

5、同位语从句

就是用来补充说明同位语的名词成分的句子。 ①、结构是：名词+that+从句。

②、同位语从句与宾语从句和定语从句的区别：

引导宾语从句和定语从句的that, which可以省略，而引导同位语从句的that不能省略。定语从句中的that必须在从句中扮演主语或者宾语。

同位语从句的that不扮演任何成分。

例如：There is a popular saying that family instability causes social instability. that不做句子成分。

6、状语从句

①、状语从句的本质。

就是用一个句子来做另外一个句子的状语。 例：在1981年。When it was in 1981.

状语从句的分类：时间状语、地点状语、原因状语、结果状语、目的状语、条件状语、让步状语、比较状语、方式状语。

2005年例句：Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, D others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. A. when B. since C. for D. whereas

从本质上来讲，状语从句就是用连词将几个分句连接起来，以表达分句之间那种特定的逻辑关系。 例：when it was in 1981, I was born. ②、时间状语从句 时间状语 when。

常考的句型：hardly?when依旧。 when it comes that; 当谈到这。 when it comes to当??提到。

1991年例句： A to speak when the audience interrupted him. A. Hardly had he begun B. No sooner hardly had he begun C. Not until he begin D. Scarcely had he begin

1998年例句：Doing your homework is a sure way to improve your test scores, and this is especially true D it comes to classroom tests.

A. before B. as C since D. when ③、地点状语从句 地点状语从句where。

引导地点状语一般总是放在主句的后面。

例如：A driver should slower down where there are schools. ④、原因状语从句

since从??起；因为??

比较特殊的连词：in that因为的意思。

例句：The girl is like her mother in that she also has very delicate feeling. now that?因为；given that?因为。 ⑤、目的状语从句

lest? 唯恐，害怕；for fear that...当心，害怕；引导的是虚拟语气。

They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth.

lest, for fear, 谓语是should +动词原形。should常省略。 ⑥、结果状语从句

有两种引导法so?that, so that. such?that, such that.

2001年例句：Conversation becomes weaker in a society that spends so much time listening and being talked to ___C___ it has all but lost the will and the skill to speak for itself. A. as B. which C. that D. what so后面一般用形容词或副词，不能用名词。 such后面必须用名词。

把so?that; so that; such?that; such that中的so或such放在句首形成倒装句。 例如：So fast does light travel that it is difficult for us to imagine it’s speed. to the extent (that)表示结果。

to some extent 表示在??范围之内；在一定程度上，在某种程度上。 ⑦、条件状语从句

条件状语从句一般用unless；if来引导。 难点：only if ；if only

only if是“只有”的意思； if only是“只要”意思。 2000年例句：

He can continue to support himself and his family __A__ he produces a surplus. A. only if B. much as C .long before D. ever since 要记住：supposing (that)? provided (that)? on condition that?

例如：He will surely finished job on time __D__ he has left to do it in his own way. A. in that B. in case C. as far as D. so long as ⑧、让步状语从句

Ⅰ、表示让步状语的词有：although； though； even if；even though。

1997年例句：__A__ its economy continues to recover, the US is increasingly becoming a nation of part timers and temporary workers.

A. Even though B. Now that C. If only D. Provided that

2004年例句：All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act, __C_ a direct causal relationship has not yet been established.

A. provided B. since C. although D. supposing 一、知道选项的意思；

二、明白上下文的逻辑关系。

Ⅱ、表示让步转折的介词：in spite of; despite尽管。

例如：_A_ what he achieved in medicine he remained modest. A. Despite B. Although C. If D. Whereas however然而（经常为对）。 nevertheless虽然，还是。 nonetheless不过。

1998年例句：This view; _A_, is generally thought to be wrong. A. however B. meanwhile C. therefore D. more over

However的两种用法：一、作副词，后接形容词，等于no matter how(无论)。 二、作连词，表示尽管如此。 while当??时候；然而，但是。 重点：与as有关的让步状语从句 由as 引导的倒装句

形容词，副词，分词，名词，短语+as+主语+谓语。 例如：Child as he is, he can remember a lot of things. as 或so +形容词+as+主谓结构

例如：As much as John hates to do it, he must stay at home and study tonight. ⑨、比较状语从句 Ⅰ、重点讲倍数问题。

一、倍数+比较级。 A is three times bigger than B. 二、倍数+as?as 结构。 A is three times as big as B. 三、倍数+名词结构。 A is Three times the size of B.

Ⅱ、no more than 特点：

一、no more than=not any more than

二、从功能上看往往表示两个事物之间的类比关系。 三、从意义上看是和 ??一样。

not so much as 结构上有两种，前面有否定词不用as，而用so。 结构上有两种：一、not A so much as B. 与其说A，不如说B。 二、not so much A as B. 与其说A，不如说B。

例如：It wasn’t so much that I disliked her __D___ that I just wasn’t interested in the whole business. A. rather B. so C. than D. as

7、并列句

①、并列句

Ⅰ、并列句的结构要从后面往前找。 例如:I like apples from Japan and bananas.

Ⅱ、and 可以连接两个并列的词语、短语、句子成分、从句以及句子。 Jim and Lily are good friends.

I like apples and bananas from Japan.

I like apples which are from Japan and which are from USA I am 22 and Jim is 23.

并列句在考研中的考点：

一、有and 就肯定有并列。有并列就一定要弄清楚并列的成分。

二、and 有并列。但并列在考研中有几十种情况。要根据每一种不同的并列进行不同的处理。 三、有and 的并列就要从and 的后面往前找，而不是从前面往后找。 ②、定语后置

She is a beautiful girl. She is a girl of beauty.

一个形容词定语就相当于一个of引导的名词作后置定语。 所以，上句可以写成She is a girl of beauty.

适应考研英语的小窍门：背考研英语中阅读理解的历年真题文章。

8、插入语

①、插入语

能够从句子中拿出来而不影响整个句子主谓结构的部分就是插入语。 插入语与同谓语的区别：插入语往往是插在主谓之间。

例如：I am an ugly man.可换成I am a man who is ugly.（定语从句）还可换成I , who is a man, am ugly. This is a white window.

This is a window which is white. (定语从句) This, which is a window, is white. ②、插入语在考研中的应用

Ⅰ、从命题角度来看插入语的两个逗号就相当于两个括号。表示对插入语前面的解释和说明。

Ⅱ、从长难句的处理角度来看。插入语扮演的角色就是可以作为整体提出来放到一边最后处理，就是直接把插入语翻译后放在括号里。

I, who am a man, who was born in the city of Peking where the Olympic Game will be held in 2008, when there will be a lot of beauties come in china, where there are a lot of kind people, am ugly.

Ⅲ、考研中不一定专门考语法。主要是应用语法知识进行阅读、完型、写作等等。关键就是运用语法处理长难句。

例如：She, who is her mother’s daughter, is a girl of beauty which is envied by Lily who is of ugliness which we all know.

长难句的处理方法：剥洋葱似的分析句子。 第一层皮：整个句子的核心的主谓宾。 第二层皮：一个语法现象表示一层皮。 一、she is a girl 二、of beauty

三、which is envied by Lily 四、who is of ugliness 五、which we all know

六、who is her mother’s daughter 科学方法：把整个句子化整为零。 她，（是她妈妈的女儿），一个美丽的女儿/美丽到被莉丽所妒忌/莉丽是个很丑的人/她丑到/我们都知到。 连接方法：在剥皮处的地方用设问的方式进行连接。

9、剥洋葱似的分析句子的方法和步骤

剥洋葱似的分析句子的方法和步骤：

①、以句号为单元判断这个句子中有几个洋葱。

Ⅰ、看句号句子中有没有and和or。还要看它们连接的是不是句子。

如果是词和短语那么and前后就不是独立的洋葱。只有当两个句子并列的时候才是连个洋葱。 例如：I like apples and bananas. 其中的apples and bananas是宾语并列。 再如：I am 22 and Jim is 23. 这时就是两个洋葱。 Ⅱ、看句号里有没有but.有but 也不一定就是两个洋葱。 例如：But I am a boy.

Ⅲ、看句号里有没有特殊的标点符号。

冒号：一、从命题的角度看如果问题出在冒号的前面，答案一般出现在冒号的后面。如果问题出在冒号的后面，答案大多数情况下出现在冒号的前面。

二、从长难句解读角度看冒号前后是独立的。 破折号：考研英语中破折号“—”等于冒号“：”功能是一样的。 分号：分号前后独立各自成为一个洋葱。

②、对每一个洋葱分别剥皮。每一个洋葱的第一层皮就是这个句子的核心内容。此后从第二层开始，每一层皮就表示一个语法现象。

③、把每一层皮分别翻译成中文。

④、在剥皮处设问。用设问的方式把每一层皮连接在一起。这就是化整为零，再从零到整。
