练习14 which引导的非限制性定语从句
一、单项选择
从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入空白处的最佳选。
1.I shall never forget those years _____ I lived on the farm with the farmers, _______ has a great effect on my life.
A.when; who
B.that; which
C.which; that
D.when; which
【答案】D
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我永远不会忘记那些年,我与农民住在农场,这对我的生活有很大的影响。本句2个定语从句构成的复合句,第一个定语从句修饰先行词years,先行词在从句中做时间状语,用when连接。第二个从句是非限制性定语从句,从句修饰前面整个句子,连接词用which。故选D项。
2.I really don’t know why his latter discovery, _________ greater importance to science, is not so well-known to the world.
A.which I think is of
B.which I think it is of
C.of which I think it is
D.I think which is of
【答案】A
【详解】考查定语从句和固定搭配。句意:我真的不知道为什么他后来的发现在世界上并不那么为人所知,我认为这个发现对科学更重要。分析句子可知,I think 为插入语,此处是一个非限定性定语从句,先行词是his latter discovery,在从句中作主语,因此使用which引导该从句。且“be of+抽象名词”是固定搭配,相当于该名词的形容词词义。故选A项。
3.We went to Mountain Tai last weekend, _____ , not surprisingly, was crowded with visitors.
A.that
B.which
C.where
D.when
【答案】B
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:上周末我们去了泰山,那里挤满了游客,这一点也不奇怪。Mountain Tai l为先行词,在非限制性定语从句中做主语。that不引导非限制性定语从句。综合分析,故选B项。
4.By 16:30, ______ was almost closing time, nearly all the paintings had been sold.
A.which
B.when
C.what
D.that
【答案】A
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:到16:30,也就是快关门的时候,几乎所有的画都卖完了。此处为非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,故用which引导。when为关系副词;what不能引导定语从句;that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故选A。
5.The owner of the cinema needed to make a lot of improvements and employ more people to keep it running,________meant spending tens of thousands of pounds.
A.who
B.that
C.as
D.which
【答案】D
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:这家电影院的老板需要做很多改进,雇佣更多的人来维持运营,这意味着要花费数万英镑。which此处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个句子,which在从句中充当主语。故选D项。
6.There are times______ we need to travel long distances, in______ case, public transport such as buses and the underground are our better choices.
A.when; which
B.that; that
C.when; that
D.that; which
【答案】A
【详解】考查定语从句引导词。句意:有时我们需要长途旅行,在这种情况下,公共交通,如公共汽车和地铁是我们更好的选择。分析句子可知第一空是限定性定语从句,先行词times,在从句中表示有时候,应使用when引导从句;第二空为非限定性定语从句,应使用which引导从句。故选A。
7. Ted came for the weekend wearing only some shorts and a T-shirt,________ is a stupid thing to do in such
