单元语法:定语从句Ⅱ
本单元学习定语从句中关系副词的用法,主要包括 where、when、why 等。如:
He will always remember the day when his father went to Paris. 他将永远记得他父亲去巴黎的那一天。
This is the city where I lived before. 这是我以前居住过的城市。
This is the reason why the Great Wall is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. 这就是长城被列为世界七大奇迹的原因。
一、关系副词的用法
关系副词
说明
例句
when
作时间状语,相当于介词+ which
I still remember the day when / on which the bridge was built. 我还记得这座桥建成的那个日子。
I won't forget the day when / on which the People's Republic of China was founded. 我不会忘记中华人民共和国成立的日子。
where
作地点状语,相当于介词+ which

Protecting the people was the reason why/ for which the Great Wall was built. 保护人民是修建长城的原因。
二、关系代词与关系副词的用法区别
1.判断谓语动词与先行词的关系
及物动词后面无宾语,必须用关系代词;不及物动词则要求用关系副词作状 语。如:
This is the school (which / that) I visited last year. 这就是我去年参观过的学校。(visit为及物动词)
This is the school where / in which I studied last year. 这就是我去年就读的学校。(study 为不及物动词)
2.判断先行词在定语从句中的成分
如果先行词在定语从句中作主语、宾语或定语,则选择关系代词;如果先行 词在定语从句中作状语,则选择关系副词。如:
I will never forget the days that/ which we spent together. 我永远忘不了我们 一起度过的日子。

The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.
Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices (香料), cloth, valuable stones and gold.
There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers (士兵) travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.
During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these people travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
In modern times, the old Silk Road routes are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and people.

A.Silk B.Cloth C.Gold D.Tea
43.The underlined word “routes” means “________” in Chinese.
A.方法 B.经济 C.贸易 D.路线

B.The Silk Road allowed people from different countries to mix.
C.Ancient Chinese along the Silk Road may be able to speak different languages.

A dragon-shaped bronze statue (青铜像) with a “tiger” head and tiger brain was discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins (遗址) Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. This kind of object has never been found in other sites of the Bronze Age in China.
The shape of this dragon is a bit special as its head is like a tiger’s head, and its ears are round like those of a tiger. But it has two long horns (犄角) on its head. Its mouth is also special with something like a knife in it. And its body is like a flying dragon.
According to reports, this statue is about 80 cm high, but it’s still not a complete bronze. Experts have found that this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds (超出) the base. So it probably needs to lean (倚靠) on other objects to keep its balance.
So where is the missing part? After searching, experts made another great discovery about half a meter away: the top-shaped snake-like figure (雕像). The 1.5-meter-high body is supported on a square base with both hands, and turns upward. It also needs to lean on other object to keep balance.
Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects. If the guess proves to be true, this will become another huge Sanxingdui Ruins Site since the late 1920s. It all began in 1929 when a farmer was digging a hole there and it opened the door to an unknown culture of 3,000 to 5,000 years old.
46.What can we know about the bronze statue?
A.Its shape is like a tiger.
B.There are two long horns on its mouth.
C.It has been found in another sites of the Bronze Age in China.
D.It was found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province.
47.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “support” in paragraph 3?
A.维持 B.养活 C.支撑 D.帮助
48.Why does the statue need to lean on other objects according to the experts?
A.Because its main body is too long. B.Because it has to keep its balance.
C.Because it has supports behind it. D.Because it is an independent bronze.
49.What can we infer from the experts’ guess?
A.The missing part of the dragon-shaped is probably the snake-like figure.
B.The snake-like figure is the first bronze that has been found at Sanxingdui Ruins Site.
C.The snake-like figure is quite different from the tiger-shaped figure.
D.More than 50,000 ancient objects have been found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site
50.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The guess of some experts.
B.The missing part of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
C.The discovery of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
D.The discovery of Chinese unknown culture.

单元语法:定语从句Ⅱ
本单元学习定语从句中关系副词的用法,主要包括 where、when、why 等。如:
He will always remember the day when his father went to Paris. 他将永远记得他父亲去巴黎的那一天。
This is the city where I lived before. 这是我以前居住过的城市。
This is the reason why the Great Wall is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. 这就是长城被列为世界七大奇迹的原因。
一、关系副词的用法
关系副词
说明
例句
when
作时间状语,相当于介词+ which
I still remember the day when / on which the bridge was built. 我还记得这座桥建成的那个日子。
I won't forget the day when / on which the People's Republic of China was founded. 我不会忘记中华人民共和国成立的日子。
where
作地点状语,相当于介词+ which
This is the place where / in which Confucius lived. 这就是孔子曾经住过的地方。
The sight of the Terracotta Army reminded me of my trip to Paris, where/ in which I visited the Eiffel Tower. 看到兵马俑让我想起了我的巴黎之旅,在那里我参观了埃菲尔铁塔。
why
作原因状语,相当于介词+ which
Please tell me the reason why / for which you like this country. 请告诉我你喜欢这个国家的原因。
Protecting the people was the reason why/ for which the Great Wall was built. 保护人民是修建长城的原因。
二、关系代词与关系副词的用法区别
1.判断谓语动词与先行词的关系
及物动词后面无宾语,必须用关系代词;不及物动词则要求用关系副词作状 语。如:
This is the school (which / that) I visited last year. 这就是我去年参观过的学校。(visit为及物动词)
This is the school where / in which I studied last year. 这就是我去年就读的学校。(study 为不及物动词)
2.判断先行词在定语从句中的成分
如果先行词在定语从句中作主语、宾语或定语,则选择关系代词;如果先行 词在定语从句中作状语,则选择关系副词。如:
I will never forget the days that/ which we spent together. 我永远忘不了我们 一起度过的日子。
I will never forget the days when we spent our holidays together. 我永远忘不了我们一起度假的日子。

教材原文
Jane Smith: Hi, Chen Jie. Where did you go during the holiday?
Chen Jie: I went to Xi'an. It's the place where I've planned to go for a long time.
Jane Smith: I've never been to Xi'an. Why are you so interested in this city?
Chen Jie: Well, Xi'an has more than 3,000 years of history. It was the capital city of 13 ancient dynasties, and one of the birthplaces of the ancient Chinesecivilization. It's also the starting point of the Silk Road, just like a living history book.
Jane Smith: Sounds great! Where did you go in Xi'an?
Chen Jie: I visited Xi'an City Wall, Shaanxi History Museum and the Terracotta Army.
Jane Smith: Wow! Which is the most attractive?
Chen Jie: It must be Shaanxi History Museum. The 65,000-square-meter building shows about 370,000 cultural objects that can't be found anywhere else. It is the right place to learn about Chinese history, especially the Tang Dynasty.
Jane Smith: Wow, I'm interested in Chinese history as well. Could you tell me more about the collections in the museum?
Chen Jie: No problem.

The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.
Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices (香料), cloth, valuable stones and gold.
There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers (士兵) travelled through central Asia. They started to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.
During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian, Indian and Chinese areas. All these people travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
In modern times, the old Silk Road routes are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and people.

A dragon-shaped bronze statue (青铜像) with a “tiger” head and tiger brain was discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins (遗址) Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province. This kind of object has never been found in other sites of the Bronze Age in China.
The shape of this dragon is a bit special as its head is like a tiger’s head, and its ears are round like those of a tiger. But it has two long horns (犄角) on its head. Its mouth is also special with something like a knife in it. And its body is like a flying dragon.
According to reports, this statue is about 80 cm high, but it’s still not a complete bronze. Experts have found that this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds (超出) the base. So it probably needs to lean (倚靠) on other objects to keep its balance.
So where is the missing part? After searching, experts made another great discovery about half a meter away: the top-shaped snake-like figure (雕像). The 1.5-meter-high body is supported on a square base with both hands, and turns upward. It also needs to lean on other object to keep balance.
Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects. If the guess proves to be true, this will become another huge Sanxingdui Ruins Site since the late 1920s. It all began in 1929 when a farmer was digging a hole there and it opened the door to an unknown culture of 3,000 to 5,000 years old.
46.What can we know about the bronze statue?
A.Its shape is like a tiger.
B.There are two long horns on its mouth.
C.It has been found in another sites of the Bronze Age in China.
D.It was found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site in Guanghan, Sichuan Province.
47.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “support” in paragraph 3?
A.维持 B.养活 C.支撑 D.帮助
48.Why does the statue need to lean on other objects according to the experts?
A.Because its main body is too long. B.Because it has to keep its balance.
C.Because it has supports behind it. D.Because it is an independent bronze.
49.What can we infer from the experts’ guess?
A.The missing part of the dragon-shaped is probably the snake-like figure.
B.The snake-like figure is the first bronze that has been found at Sanxingdui Ruins Site.
C.The snake-like figure is quite different from the tiger-shaped figure.
D.More than 50,000 ancient objects have been found at the Sanxingdui Ruins Site
50.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The guess of some experts.
B.The missing part of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
C.The discovery of a dragon-shaped bronze statue.
D.The discovery of Chinese unknown culture.
【答案】46.D 47.C 48.B 49.A 50.C
【导语】本文主要介绍了在四川广汉三星堆遗址发现的一尊龙形青铜像及其相关信息。

47.词句猜测题。根据“this statue has no supports in front of it, and its main body exceeds (超出) the base. So it probably needs to lean (倚靠) on other objects to keep its balance.”可知,这尊青铜像没有前支撑物,主要身体超出底座,所以可能需要依靠其他物体来保持平衡。由此推测“support”意为“支撑”。故选C。
48.细节理解题。根据“it probably needs to lean (倚靠) on other objects to keep its balance.”可知,这尊青铜像需要依靠其他物体来保持平衡。故选B。
49.推理判断题。根据“Now some experts guess that the two statues are probably the same set of objects.”可知,专家猜测这两尊雕像可能是同一组物品。由此推测,龙形青铜像的缺失部分可能是蛇形雕像。故选A。
50.主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了在四川广汉三星堆遗址发现的一尊龙形青铜像及其相关信息。故选C。
