答案及详解
7.C 8.B 9.B。where在从句中作地点状语。
10.D。该题考查非限制性定语从句关系词的选择问题。由句中逗号及空白后的从句与主句所表示的逻辑关系考虑,空白后为一非限制性定语从句。故可排除A和B。定语从句的空缺处应作宾语,故选项C.when也可排除。which可以引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个主句所叙述的事实,并在定语从句中作“doubt”的宾语。
11 B。该题空白之后为一非限制性定语从句,在定语从句中加入了一个插入语“of course”,增加了试题的难度。选项C和D不能引导定语从句。who引导的非限制性定语从句用来修饰表示人的先行词;which引导的非限制性定语从句可修饰前面整个主句,并代表主句所表达的内容,故答案选B。
12 C。此题有一定的难度,在先行词和定语从句之间有其它的词,所以首先要找准先行词。先行词hours表示的是时间。当先行词是表示时间的词时,可能有两种情况:如果从句中缺少状语,通常用关系副词when;如果在从句中缺少主语或宾语,通常用关系代词that或which。此题从句中缺少状语,故答案选C。
13.B。根据题干中的逗号可以判断,空缺处应填关系代词as,引导非限制性定语从句。在这种用法中,as的先行词不是主句中的某个名词,而是整个主句所表达的内容。as的意思是“正像”、“像……那样”,定语从句则表达了说话人对某事的态度或看法。as在此题的定语从句中作主语。试比较:It is known to everybody that the moon travels round the earth once every month.
