2014届高三英语总复习：高考语法专题14定语从句
1．(2012·全国Ⅱ)That evening, ________ I will tell you more about later, I ended up working very late.
A. that B. which C. what D. when
[解析]句意：稍后我会告诉你更多关于那晚的事．那晚我工作到很晚。本题考查定语从句。先行词为that evening，将先行词代入定语从句后为：I will tell you more about that_evening later.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作about的宾语，且表示“物”，故用which引导。本题易误选D项，考生只看到先行词为表示时间的名词，但没有注意先行词在定语从句中的功能。
[答案]B
2．(2012·天津)I wish to thank Professor Smith, without ________ help I would never have got this far.
A. who B. whose C. whom D. which
[解析]句意：我想要感谢史密斯教授，没有他的帮助，我绝不会有这个成就。考查定语从句关系代词的选用。根据句意及句子结构可知，空格处为定语从句的引导词，先行词为Professor Smith，将先行词代入定语从句后为：Without Professor_Smith's help I would never have got this far.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作help的定语，故答案为B项。
[答案]B
3．(2012·山东)Maria has written two novels, both of ________ have been made into television series.
A. them B. that C. which D. what
[解析]句意：玛丽亚已经写了两部小说，两部小说都被改编成了电视剧。本题考查非限制性定语从句。根据句子结构可知，逗号不能连接两个完整的分句，首先排除A；that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故排除B；what不是定语从句的引导词，故选C。
[答案]C
4．(2012·江西)By 16：30, ________ was almost closing time, nearly all the paintings had been sold.
A. which B. when C. what D. that
[解析]句意：到16：30，接近关门的时候，几乎所有的绘画作品都已经售出。本题考查非限制性定语从句。先行词为16：30；将先行词代入定语从句后为：16：30was almost closing time. 由此可见先行词在定语从句中作主语，且表示“事物”。故应使用关系代词which引导。关系副词when在定语从句中作状语；what不引导定语从句；that不引导非限制性定语从句。
[答案]A
5．(2012·陕西)It is the third time that she has won the race，________ has surprised us all.

[答案]C

有点傻。本题考查非限制性定语从句。which引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，并指代前面句子的内容。A、C两项不能引导定语从句；B项不能引导非限制性定语从句。
[答案]D
8．(2011·山东)The old town has narrow streets and small houses ________ are built close to each other.
A. they B. where C. what D. that
[解析]句意：这个古老的小镇拥有建造得彼此靠得很近的狭窄街道和小房子。本题考查定语从句。先行词是narrow streets and small houses，还原到从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that。A和C不能引导定语从句；B是关系副词，不能作主语。
[答案]D
9．(2010·全国卷Ⅰ)As a child, Jack studied in a village school，________is named after his grandfather.
