第十八章 名词性从句
一、名词性从句的分类
名词性从句包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。它是中学尤其是高中教材中的一项重要语法内容,是高中英语教学的重点和难点,也是每年高考的必考项目。
(一)主语从句
在复合句中起主语作用的从句叫主语从句。引导主语从句的词有从属连词、连接代词、关系代词、连接副词等。
1)由从属连词that,whether引导的主语从句
1._______you don’t like him is none of my business.
A.That B.Who C.What D.Whether
2.________the 2000 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing is not Known yet.
A.Whenever B.If C.Whether D.That
3._______we will go camping tomorrow depends on the weather(1996)
A.If B.Whether C.That D.Where
4._______ is a fact that English is being accepted as an international language.
A. There B. This C. That D. It
5.It worried her a bit_______her hair was turning grey.
A.while B.if C.that D.for
从属连词that,whether在主语从句中的作用只是引导主语从句,它们在从句中不担任成分,不能省略。如:
That the earth is round is true.地球是圆的,是一个事实。
That they will go is certain.他们去是肯定的。
Whether she's coming or not doesn't matter too much.她来不来没有多大关系。
如果主语从句太长,为避免句子结构头重脚轻,我们可用it作形式主语,而把主语从句放在主句谓语部分之后。如上述3句可转换成:
It is true that the earth is round.
It is certain that they will go.
It doesn't matter too much whether she's coming or not.
2)由连接代词引导的主语从句
连接代词who,which引导主语从句时,它们分别在从句中担任主语、宾语或定语,不能省略。如:
Who made the long distance call is not important.谁打的长途电话并不重要。
Who let out the news remained unknown.谁泄露了那个消息仍旧无人知道。
It is still unknown which team will win the match.还不知道哪个队会赢得这场比赛。
3)由关系代词引导的主语从句
what有时可用来表示the thing(s)which这种意思,引导从句,表示一样东西域一件事情,译为"……的东西/事情",这种用法的what称为关系代词型what,who,whom,which,what可以和ever构成合成词,和what一样引导从句,ever起强调作用。这些关系词在句子中充当成分,所以不能省略。此类主语从句不能用形式主语it引导。如:
What I need (=The thing which I need) is a mobile phone.我所需要的是一部移动电话。
What he said at the meeting is important.他在会议上所说的(事情)是重要的。
Whoever leaves the office (=Any one who leaves the office)should tell me.无论是谁离开办公室都应该告诉我。
4)由连接副词引导的主语从句
连接副词有when,where,how,why,它们在从句中担任状语,不能省略。此类主语从句可以转换为以it作形式主语的句子。如:
Why he didn't come here is not clear to anyone.他为什么没来谁也不清楚。
How a telephone works is a question which not everyone can answ
