练习16 表语从句
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.The old building, behind _____ was a famous church, was _____ we used to work.
A.that; the place
B.it; the place
C.which; where
D.what; where
【答案】C
【详解】考查定语从句和表语从句。句意:我们过去常常在那座老房子里工作,后面是一座著名的教堂。分析句子结构,第一空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词the old building,指物,位于介词后面,需用关系代词which引导;第二空位于系动词was后面,引导表语从句,引导词在从句中作地点状语,需填连接副词where。故选C。
2.If you are passionate about something, pursue it no matter what anyone else thinks. That’s ______ dreams are achieved.
A.what
B.where
C.why
D.how
【答案】D
【详解】考查表语从句。句意:如果你对某件事充满热情,那么不管其他人怎么想,你都应坚持下去。那是使梦想成为现实的做法。A. what什么;B. where哪里;C. why为什么;D. how如何,怎样。空格后的从句缺少状语,应使用连接副词。第一句话是使梦想成真的做法,即“怎样”做才能实现梦想。故选D。
3.The reason ________ he explained was________ he was ill and unable to go to school.
A.which; that
B.why; because
C.which; because
D.why; that
【答案】A
【详解】考查定语从句和表语从句。句意:他解释的原因是他生病了,不能去上学。第一空为限定性定语从句,修饰先行词reason,且先行词在从句中作宾语,指物,应用关系代词which/that;第二空为表语从句,从句中不缺少成分,句意完整,应用只起连接作用的that。故选A。
4.The reason ___ he was late was ___ he got up late.
A.why, why
B.why, because
C.why, that
D.why, as
【答案】C
【详解】考查定语从句关系词和表语从句引导词。句意:他迟到的原因是他起得晚。The reason ___ he was late是定语从句,先行词是the reason,在从句中作原因状语,使用关系副词why;___ he got up late是表语从句,从句结构完整,不缺成分,使用只起引导作用的that。故选C项。
5.The reason for _____ he had the accident was _____ he was too careless when driving.
A.that; because
B.which; because
C.which; that
D.that; that
【答案】C
