作业10非限制性定语从句
一、定义
非限制定从是英语中定语从句的一种,通常用逗号与主句隔开,表明其是对先行词提供额外的信息,但不是先行词的必要特征。
换句话说,非限制性定语从句就像是给句子添加的“小批注”或“补充信息”,也就是说,即使没有这个从句,句子的整体意思也不会受到影响。
二、功能
1. 补充说明;
2. 解释原因;
3. 强调特定信息。

一、七选五阅读
The more I travel, the more I feel like I understand the world, the people in it, and, often, myself. Getting off the beaten path, meeting locals, and visiting incredible sites have made my life better. 1 While I go into a lot of depth in my new book on budget travel, I want to share some tips with you.
Pack light. Write down a list of essentials, cut it in half, and then only pack that! Take half the clothes you think you will need. 2 It’s OK to wear the same T-shirt a few days in a row.
Stay in hostels. They are cheap, they organize events, you’ll meet a lot of people, and they are just tons of fun! Hostelworld is the best hostel-accommodation website out there, with the largest inventory (房源), best search interface, and highest availability. 3
Take free walking tours. 4 You will love taking walking tours when you travel. You will pass the time and get to learn so much about where you are. They have exploded in popularity in the last few years and you can find them in nearly any major city in the world.
5 This is probably one of the most underused travel tips in the world. Tourism information centers know about everything going on in town.

1.前文“The more I travel, the more I feel like I understand the world, the people in it, and, often, myself. Getting off the beaten path, meeting locals, and visiting incredible sites have made my life better. (走得越远,我越能理解这个世界、其中的人们,以及常常被重新认识的自己。离开常规路线,遇见当地居民,探访绝美风景——这些都让我的生活更美好)”介绍旅行给自己带来的好处,后文“While I go into a lot of depth in my new book on budget travel, I want to share some tips with you. (尽管我在新出版的穷游指南中已经做了详尽阐述,但在此仍想与你分享几条实用建议)”提到要分享旅行建议,因此F项“And if you welcome such experiences, it will make your life better, too. (如果你也欢迎这样的体验,它会让你的生活更美好)”符合语境,过渡到旅行也会给读者带来好处,承前启后,其中的make your life better和前文的made my life better呼应。故选F。

3.前文“Hostelworld is the best hostel-accommodation website out there, with the largest inventory (房源), best search interface, and highest availability. (Hostelworld是全球最佳的青年旅舍预订平台,拥有最丰富的房源储备、最优的搜索界面和最高的预订成功率)”推荐使用Hostelworld网站预订旅馆,因此A项“I use it for all my hostel bookings. (我所有的青旅预订都通过它完成)”符合语境,提到自己使用Hostelworld的经验,佐证前文的推荐,其中的it指代前文的Hostelworld。故选A。

(除了免费之外,这些游览能让你很好地了解所访问的城市)”符合语境,总的指出免费步行游览对旅游体验的好处,呼应主旨句,引出后文。故选G。
5.后文“This is probably one of the most underused travel tips in the world. Tourism information centers know about everything going on in town. They can point you to free activities, special events happening during your stay, and everything in between. They are also staffed by locals who can tell you all the ins and outs of their city. (这可能是全球最被低估的旅行建议了。游客信息中心掌握着城里的一切动态:既能为你推荐免费活动、特别庆典等各类精彩项目,更有熟悉城市每个角落的当地工作人员,为你揭秘这座城市的所有门道)”推荐前往信息游客中心,并详述其功能,空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需统领段落内容,且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式,因此C项“Always visit the local tourism information center. (一定要去当地的旅游信息中心)”符合语境,建议去旅游信息中心,契合段落内容。故选C。
