Last week, only two people came to look at the house, ______ wanted to buy it.A. none of themB. both of themC. none of whomD. neither of whom【点拨】●“介词+关系代词”既可以引导限制性定语从句,也可以引导非限制性定语从句。
在此结构中,关系代词指人时用whom,不可用who或that;指物时用which,不能用that;关系代词是所有格时用whose。
但如果介词后置,则不受这种限制,关系代词还可以省去,尤其在口语中。
如:1) Do you know the girl to whom our teacher was talking?= Do you know the girl (that/who/whom) our teacher was talking to?2) The school (that/which) my brother once studied in is very famous.= The school in which my brother once studied is very famous.2.关系副词when,where,why可用“介词+which”来代替。
关系副词实际上是介词+先行词。
其中when=表时间的介词(如:in,at,on,during等)+which; Where=表地点的介词(如:in,at,on,under等)+which; Why=表原因的介词(如:for)+which(1)当先行词表示时间,定语从句中缺少时间状语时,通常用关系副词when引导,此时也可选用表示时间的介词+which来代替关系副词when。
I still remember the day when I came here. ( on the day =when) (2)当先行词表示地点,定语从句中缺少地点状语时,通常用关系副词where引导,此时也可选用表示地点的介词+which来代替关系副词where。
This is the house where I lived last year. ( in the house= where) (3)当先行词为reason,定语从句中缺少表示原因状语时,通常用关系副词why引导,此时也可以用for which来代替关系副词why。
There are many reasons why people like traveling. (for the reasons =why) 注意:1. 含有介词的短语动词一般不拆开, 介词仍放在短语动词的后面。
如: look for, look after, take care of, pay attention to, look forward to 等。
This is the watch (which / that) I am looking for.2.“介词+关系代词”前还可有some, any, none, all, both, neither, many, most, each, few等代词或者数词,表示先行词的一部分或全部。
He loves his parents deeply, both of whom are very kind to him. In the basket there are quite many apples, some of which have gone bad.二.介词的选择1.根据从句中动词与先行词的逻辑关系。
Eg:Is that the newspaper for which you often write articles?The school (which/that ) he once studied in is very famous.=The school in which he once studied is very famous.他曾经就读过的学校很出名。
2.根据从句中动词与形容词的搭配。
The student to whom I want to be grateful is Tom.3.根据先行词与介词的搭配习惯,请体会:Eg:1949 was the year in which the P.R.C was founded.4.根据从句的意义来确定介词。
My computer, without which I can’t play computer games, broke down yesterday.昨天我的电脑坏了,没有它我不能玩电脑游戏。
5. whose可转换为“of +关系代词”型。
They live in a house, whose door opens to the south.They lived in a house, of which the door opens to the south.They lived in a house, the door of which open to the south.●listen to, depend on, pay attention to, take care of, look for, look after, look at等固定短语,在定语从句中一般不将介词与动词分开。
如:This is the old lady whom Harold has taken care of.●“介词+关系代词”前有some,any,none,neither,both,all,most,each,few等代词或者数词时,可构成由“名词(代词、数词)+ of + which / whom”来引导的定语从句。
如:There are thirty students in our class in all, most of whom are from villages.现在,我们再来看一看这几道高考题。
第一题中,名词degree常和介词to搭配使用,表示“到……程度”故选B。
第二题中先行词effects 和floods 是所属关系,故选B,从而构成了介词+ whose引导的定语从句。
第三题中动词come常和from连用,表示“从……地方来”,故选D。
第四题是属于“名词(代词、数词)+ of + which / whom”结构来引导的定语从句,故选D。
