名詞性從句
考點(diǎn)提示:
1. 名詞性從句的考查主要在單項(xiàng)填空題中;短文改錯(cuò)題中有時(shí)出現(xiàn)考題;書面表達(dá)題中常用名詞性從句。
2. 名詞性從句考題的解題關(guān)鍵是連接詞的意義和連接詞在從句中所作的成分。
3. 注意區(qū)別易混、誤用的連接詞,熟記名詞性從句的常用固定結(jié)構(gòu)。
語法精析
一、引導(dǎo)名詞性從句(即主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句和同位語從句)的連接詞可分三類:
(1) 連詞
that:無意義,不作成分。
if/whether:“是否”,不作成分。
as if/as though:“好像”(僅引導(dǎo)表語從句)。
because:“因?yàn)椤保▋H引導(dǎo)表語從句)。
(2) 連接代詞
what:“什么”,“……的事/情況等”;可作主語、賓語、表語、定語。
which:“哪個(gè),哪些”;可作主語、賓語、表語、定語。
who:“誰”;可作主語、賓語。
whom:“誰”;可作賓語。
whose:“誰的”;可作定語。
whatever:“所……的一切”;可作主語、賓語、表語、定語。
whichever:“無論哪個(gè)”;可作主語、賓語、表語、定語。
whoever:“任何人”,“無論誰”;可作主語、賓語。
whomever:“任何人”,“無論誰”;可作賓語。
(3) 連接副詞
when:“什么時(shí)候”,“……的時(shí)候”(在表語從句中)。
where:“哪里”,“……的地方”(在表語從句中)。
why:“為什么”,“……的原因”(在表語從句中)。
how:“怎樣”。
how soon/often/long...:“多久以后/多久一次/多長時(shí)間……”。
二、名詞性從句的幾個(gè)重難點(diǎn)
(一)that的省略
1. that引導(dǎo)賓語從句時(shí),??墒÷裕玹hat引導(dǎo)兩個(gè)或多個(gè)并列的賓語從句時(shí),引導(dǎo)第二和以后的賓語從句的that不能省略;
2. that引導(dǎo)表語從句時(shí),在口語中有時(shí)也可省略;
3. that引導(dǎo)同位語從句和主語從句時(shí),不省略;但如果that引導(dǎo)的主語從句被形式主語it代替而后置時(shí),在口語中that可省略。
(二)幾組名詞性從句的引導(dǎo)詞的區(qū)別
1. that與what
that引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,只起連接主從句的作用而不充當(dāng)從句的任何句子成分,也沒有實(shí)在意義;
what引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,在從句中可充當(dāng)主語、賓語、表語及定語,而且有意義。what的意義有兩種:一種是疑問意義“什么”;另一種不帶疑問的意義,具體的意思根據(jù)句子情況的不同而不同,主要有“……的話/東西/情況等”,如:
We are worrying about what we should do next.
我們正為下一步該做什么而煩惱。
What he wanted to see was an end to all the armies of the world.
他想看到的(情況)是,世界上一切軍隊(duì)全都消亡。
2. what/whatever與which/whichever
what/whatever:“什么,……東西/事情等”/“無論什么,任何東西/事情等”,指的是沒有范圍限制。如:
You can write about whatever topic (= any topic that) you prefer.
你可以寫你喜歡寫的任何題目。
which/whichever:“哪個(gè)、哪些”/“無論哪個(gè)、無論哪些”,指在有確定范圍的東西、事情等,如:
You may choose whichever of the books here.
這兒的書,你可以選擇任何一本。
3. whether與if表“是否”
(1) whether可引導(dǎo)所有名詞性從句(主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句、同位語從句);而if一般引導(dǎo)賓語從句或后置的主語從句;
(2) 介詞后的賓語從句用whether引導(dǎo),而不能用if引導(dǎo);
(3) 與or not連用,應(yīng)用whether,構(gòu)成whether or not,不能用if or not;
(4) 動(dòng)詞discuss后的賓語從句,用whether引導(dǎo);
(5) 賓語從句為否定句時(shí),通常用if引導(dǎo),如:I don’t care if he doesn’t come ;
(6) whether與動(dòng)詞不定式連用,構(gòu)成不定式短語,但if不能。
4. whatever/whoever/...與no matter what/who/... whatever/whoever/... 既可引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,又可引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句,而no matter what/who/...只能引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。
5. that引導(dǎo)同位語從句與that引導(dǎo)定語從句
that引導(dǎo)同位語從句時(shí),應(yīng)在某些抽象名詞之后,如:fact,truth,news,hope,promise,thought等,并且that在從句中不充當(dāng)任何句子成分,從句是完整的;
that引導(dǎo)定語從句時(shí),其修飾的名詞可以是抽象名詞,也可以是指人、指物的具體名詞,并且that在從句中要充當(dāng)主語、賓語或表語,從句是殘缺的。
注意:that引導(dǎo)同位語從句時(shí),不能省略,不能換成which;而that引導(dǎo)定語從句時(shí),若在從句中充當(dāng)賓語或表語時(shí),可省略,且有時(shí)可與which換用。
(三)名詞性從句中的常用固定句型
1. It is said/thought/suggested/known/... that...
2. It is a pity/surprise/shame/no wonder/... that...
3. It is clear/true/certain/... that...
4. It seems/appears/happens that...
5. ... look(s)/seem(s)/appear(s) as if/as though...
6. That’s because...
7. That’s why...
8. The reason why/for... is/was that...
9. There is/was no chance/possibility/doubt that...
10. ... doubt(s) whether/if...

18 began, and I asked him about some of his basic infor—mation. When it 19 to the question why he refused to see a doctor in a big hospital and still went on working, rather than rest at home, there’s 20 between us.
“Well, you know, my wife has no job and my families all
21 on me for food and clothing,” he said. “I can’t 22 that much; what’s more, there’s no 23 in treating me. It’s cancer.” I became 24 . What could I say? He continued, “My daughter is about to have the entrance exam. And I’m
25 she can enter a key university,” He paused. “... She’s No.1 in her class and I don’t want to 26 her future.” I was completely touched. It 27 to me that I should interview his daughter. 28 I gave up. How could I destroy the great father’s plan? So I decided to watch the girl in a distance. On the playground, I saw her, who was pretty and full of 29 , playing basketball with other girls. I left with some 30 and a pitiful heart.
A year later, the teacher passed away and her daughter was 31 by a famous university. When she was on vacation, I 32 to find her and asked that question, “Did you know that your father had cancer last year?” “Yes, I did.” the girl answered quietly. I was 33 at the unexpected answer. “But I found that you were not a bit 34 at that time.” Tears filled the girl’s eyes, “I 35 not to have known anything in order to comfort my poor father.”
Life is filled with love, though we can’t feel directly. It does exist.

Oscar Pistorius calls himself the world’s fastest man on no legs.
He was born with bones missing in his legs, which required amputation(截肢)below the knee shortly after his birth. But don’t call Pistorius disabled. “I never met anything that I couldn’t do. Obviously, if I had wanted to do something like ballet, I would have struggled,” he said with a smile.
One of those dreams was to become a competitive runner, and thanks to high—tech artificial limbs(假肢), he has achieved this. At his first major competition, the 2004 Summer Paralympics(殘奧會(huì))in Athens, he earned a gold medal in the 200—meter race.
He then topped his previous world record at the 2005 Paralympics World Cup, winning gold in both the 100—meter and 200—meter events. And a year later at his 20, he again broke the 200—meter record as he took home first place in the 100—meter, 200—meter and 400—meter events in his second Paralympics World Cup.
Now, he has his sights set on an even bigger competition: the 2012 Olympic Games. It is a dream within reach. Pistorius has been beating able—bodied athletes and finished second in the 400—meter race at the South African Nationals early this year.
But he is now facing a big problem. The International Association of Athletics Federations said Pistorius’ artificial limbs might not be a disability at all. They could be making him taller, and giving him extra spring.
The IAAF is still studying Pistorius’ case but has put forward a rule that might forbid him from appearing in any Olympic competition. This has provided him with a challenge that will take more than sweat and determination to overcome. “That is like pure discrimination against disabled people and is unfair,” said Pistorius.
36. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that ___ .
A. no one looks down upon Pistorius because of his disability
B. Pistorius refuses to admit that he is disabled
C. Pistorius’ disability doesn’t stop him achieving his goals
D. Pistorius leads a happy life despite his disability
37. What is the time order of the following events in Pistorius’ life?
a. He won his first gold medal in the 200—meter race.
b. He began his career as an athlete.
c. He lived as a person without legs.
d. He took part in his first Paralympics World Cup.
e. The IAAF studied Pistorius’ case.
A. b, c, a, d, eB. c, b, d, a, e
C. b, c, a, e, dD. c, b, a, d, e
38. Which of the following facts may prevent Pistorius from taking part in the 2012 Olympic Games?
A. It is hard for him to compete with other runners.
B. Disabled athletes can only take part in Paralympics.
C. His artificial limbs may be considered to give him an unfair advantage.
D. His artificial limbs are not properly built according to the present standard.
B
It has been a long discouraging fact for English language learners in China—English languages are so different that it is hard to learn to speak them as smoothly as the native speakers though we are trying our best to imitate. Maybe that is one of the reasons why so many of us choose to keep quiet most of the time.
Do we have to speak English in an English way? Or American way? Or Australian way? How long will it take us to achieve the goal of speaking it in any of the most popular ways of speaking English? Upon thinking about the problems, more English language learners will get further discouraged because very few of us can have enough time and proper chances to learn English way of acquiring(習(xí)得)it.
Some people then argue that the English you speak can show many things, including your background, your social status and the excellence of your behavior and so on, due to the historical influence of English languages at different times. British English used to be perfect because the UK was among the few top industrial and powerful countries in the world then. Now it’s the turn of American English because the States is now the most powerful nation in the world. Speaking American English will be an advantage. Based on the theory, what kind of English will be the most influential? Right, the English we are now using and speaking, as our great motherland is getting more and more powerful and stronger.
Language primarily(首要地)serves the purpose of communicating and exchanging ideas. What really counts is that ideas can be exchanged and information shared. Why shall we English learners bother ourselves with so many questions?
39. What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Learn.B. Speak.
C. Copy.D. Use.
40. The English you speak can show the following things except ___ .
A. your background
B. your educational environment
C. your behavior
D. your position in society
41. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The purpose of English learning is only to communicate.
B. English learners just need to learn spoken English.
C. If you can’t speak American English well, you will not find a good job.
D. Most of English learners are afraid of speaking English in public probably because they don’t think their spoken English is good enough.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved (批準(zhǔn))the first GM food—genetically modified(轉(zhuǎn)基因的)food in the US. It is a tomato called the Flavr Savr. It will be sold across most of the country within a year.
Calgene Inc. developed the Flavr Savr. The company changed the genes in tomato seed. The changed seeds produce a tomato that softens more slowly. That means farmers can let it ripen on the vine(藤蔓)longer.
“The new tomato lasts longer and tastes better,” says Clagene, who plans to sell the Flavr Savr as a high—priced tomato.
Companies that develop GM food praised the FDA’s decision. “We think it’s wonderful news for the industry,” said Robert Serenbetz. He heads the DNA Plant Technology Corporation in Oakland, California.
The FDA said the Flavr Savr was “as safe as any tomato on the market”. It will not require labels(標(biāo)簽)telling shoppers the tomato is GM food.
But some groups say the Flavr Savr should have clear labels. They say no one knows what effects the genetic changes could have.
Jeremy Rifkin who heads the Pure Food Campaign says, “Customers have the right to know if there is something different in their tomatoes.”
Critics said the FDA should require more facts before new food is sold. FDA Commissioner David Kessler said his agency was talking about this idea.
Other GM food could be sold soon. They include:
● Oils with less harmful fat
● Grains with more protein
● Vegetables that can fight against disease and need less water
● Potatoes that absorb less fat when fried
42. Which of the following statements about Flavr Savr is TRUE?
A. It will be sold within a month.
B. It will be sold with a label.
C. It is the same as normal tomatoes.
D. It is genetically modified.
43. Calgene developed Flavr Savr in order to ___ .
A. change the genes in tomato seed
B. let it ripen on the vine longer
C. sell it at a high price
D. carry out the scientific research
44. It can be infered from the passage that ___ .
A. people have different opinions about GM food
B. GM food has been widely accepted by people
C. FDA will not require more facts about new food
D. GM tomato is the only kind of GM food
45. This passage is most probably taken from ___ .
A. a fashion magazineB. a newspaper
C. a story bookD. a medical book
第三部分 寫作(共四節(jié), 滿分55分)
第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)
Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello—it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
It can boost(促進(jìn))productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.
Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.
It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve(減輕)stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient(接受者)。
So maybe we can make the world a better place by___________ . After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well—being.
