2016年高考英语专题必做练习及答案(16)

19.Darwin counted 225 flowering plants，________he collected and brought home 193.

A.that B.in that

C.of which D.all of which

答案　C

解析　考查“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，正常语序为“193 of which he collected and brought home”。

20.The settlement is home to nearly 1,000 people，many of ________ left their village homes for a better life in the city.

A.whom B.which

C.them D.those

答案　A

解析　由many之前的逗号和选项特征可知，此处是主从句关系，排除C、D两项。由于先行词是1,000 people，表示人，故用whom。句意为：这个定居点居住着将近1 000人，他们中的许多人都背井离乡来到城市追求更好的生活。

21.Today，we’ll discuss a number of cases ________ beginners of learning English fail to use the language properly.

A.which B.as

C.why D.where

答案　D

解析　此句中cases表示“情况”，这里where相当于in which，在从句中作状语。当先行词为case，stage，point等，且从句中不缺主要成分时，常用where引导定语从句，在句中作状语。

22.________ I explained on the phone，your request will be considered at the next meeting.

A.When B.After

C.As D.Which

答案　C

解析　as引导非限制性定语从句，可以放在主句之前，指代后面整个主句的内容。which引导的非限制性定语从句不能放在句首。

23.The road conditions there turned out to be very good，________ was more than we could expect.

A.it B.what

C.which D.that

答案　C

解析　空格前为逗号，故需用关系代词作动词was的主语。what不引导定语从句;that不引导非限制性定语从句;it不是连词;故只有C项正确。

24.They live in a small house，and in front of ________ stands an orange tree.

A.which B.it

C.whom D.where

答案　B

解析　句中有并列连词and，所以本句是一个并列句，故只有B项正确。

25.Whenever I met her，________ was fairly often，she greeted me with a sweet smile.

A.who B.which

C.when D.that

答案　B

解析　考查非限制性定语从句。空格处指代前面整个句子，故用which。
