语法---限制性定语从句和关系代词
【教材典句】
1. We're now checking the scene for more clues which will help solve the case.我们现在正在检查现场,查找更多有助于侦破此案的线索。
2. So far, the only suspect is a short thin man who was seen running down Corn Street at10 p. m. last night.到目前为止,唯一的犯罪嫌疑人是一个矮瘦的人,有人看见他昨晚10点的时候正在沿着玉米街跑。

解析: 句1中 which will help solve the case 是 which引导的定语从句,修饰前面的名词clues;句2中 who was seen running down Corn Street at 10 p. m. last night是 who引
导的定语从句,修饰前面的名词man;句3中 that leads to the arrest of the murderer
是that引导的定语从句,修饰前面的名词 information。
【语法剖析】
在复合句中,定语从句用来修饰一个名词或代词。其中被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词。定语从句通常出现在先行词之后,由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引导。who, that, which是最常用的引导定语从句的关系代词。关系代词所代替的先行词是表示人或物的名词或代词,关系代词在句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。
Eg: Is he the man who/that wants to see you? 他就是想见你的那个人吗?
A plane is a machine which/that can fly.飞机是会飞的机器。
The bag that/which you are carrying is from London.你拿的包来自伦敦。
1.关系代词who指人,在定语从句中作主语或宾语。
Eg: Yesterday I helped an old man who lost his way.昨天我帮助了一位迷路的老人。
Mr Lin is just the man who I want to interview.林先生就是我想采访的人。
2.关系代词which指物,在定语从句中作主语或宾语。
Eg: The building which stands near my school is a supermarket. 我学校旁边的那幢大楼是一家超市。
This is the fridge which he bought yesterday.这就是他昨天买的电冰箱。
3.关系代词that指人时,相当于who;指物时,相当于which。
注意: 定语从句中的关系代词作宾语时可省略。
Eg: Mary likes music that is quiet and gentle.玛丽喜欢轻柔的音乐。
The coat (that)I tried on this morning is quite nice.我今早试穿的那件外套真漂亮。
在含有定语从句的复合句中,如果关系代词作从句的主语,则从句中谓语动词的人称和数与先行词保持一致。
Eg: Now we have ten classes which learn French.现在我们有10个学法语的班。
He is a man who is of value to the people.他是一个有益于人民的人。
助记--定语从句的关系代词:
which表物,人用 who,人、物都有 that顾; who作主语很称职,whom用到宾语里。
“推理判断法”解阅读理解题
在阅读过程中,有些题目常常需要我们作出推理判断。所谓推理判断,就是以文章所提供的事实为依据,经过分析思考得出结论。正确的推理判断是进一步理解文章内容与深层含义的关键。这类试题常以如下句式发问:
What's the writer's attitude towards...? 作者对于···的态度是什么?
What can we infer from the passage? 从文章中我们可以推断出什么?
Which statement is(not) true? 哪一项陈述是(不)正确的?
What's the main idea of the passage? 文章的主旨大意是什么?
我们在阅读时,首先,要抓住文章的主题和细节,分析文章结构,根据上下文的内在联系,挖掘文章的深层含义。其次,对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的意图及观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析,进一步增强理解能力,抓住材料实质性的东西。
【经典范文】
How to keep safe?
As teenagers, we should always keep safety in mind. But how can we keep safe? Here are some of my suggestions. First, we should be careful when we make friends, especially on line. Second, if we are in danger, we must call the police for help in time so that we can keep ourselves safe. Also, we ought to eat healthily and safely. Eating food that goes bad will do harm to our health. Last but not least, summer is coming, and we must remember it's dangerous to swim in the river.
In short, safety must come first!
