【点津】 选择介词的三个原则:
1 根据句子意思表达的需要;
2 根据从句中动词或形容词与介词的搭配习惯;
3 根据先行词和介词的搭配习惯。
【辨析】定语从句与几种句式和从句的区别
与并列句的区别
如果两个句子之间是分号,或有and、but、so等连接词,则为并列句;如果两个句子之间是逗号,且没有上述的连接词,则这两个句子之间就是主从关系,须有一个引导词引导定语从句
与强调句型的区别
判断强调句型的关键在于把“It is/was...that...”去掉后,主句的意思和结构是完整的
与状语从句的区别
状语从句通常没有先行词,整个从句在复合句中作时间、地点或原因等状语,而定语从句对先行词起修饰限定作用
与同位语从句的区别
①定语从句对先行词起修饰、限定作用;而同位语从句对先行词起解释、说明作用;②在定语从句中,that既起连接作用,又须在定语从句中充当句子成分;而在同位语从句中,that只起连接作用,不充当句子成分;③限制性定语从句通常翻译成“……的”,而同位语从句通常翻译成“即”,也可用冒号或破折号表示

A. at which B.for which
B. in which D.with which
【解析】选B。考查定语从句。句意:足球是一项非常受欢迎的运动,许多人喜欢为之比赛。分析句子可知,本句为“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,compete for“为……比赛”是固定搭配,所以定语从句中的介词用for,先行词为sport,指物,关系代词用which。故选B。

A. of which B.with which
