語法歸納:同位語從句
一句話總結(jié):從句的內(nèi)容作同位語。
對比定語從句和同位語從句:
1) 定語從句是對被修飾詞的限定或補充說明。修飾定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞:
關(guān)系代詞:
指人:who, whom, whose, that
指物:that, which
關(guān)系副詞:when, where, why
同位語從句是講述被修飾名詞的內(nèi)容。同位語從句的引導(dǎo)詞:that, what, when, where 注意:定語從句中沒有what這個關(guān)系詞,但what可以引導(dǎo)同位語從句。同位語從句舉例:
The fret that the criminal was guilty was clear to everyone. (解釋作用)
每個人都很清楚罪犯有罪這個事實。
Have you any evidence that she is a thief ? (解釋作用)
您有證據(jù)證明他是小偷嗎?
I have no idea what has happened to him. (解釋作用)
我不知道到底在他身上發(fā)生了什么。
定語從句應(yīng)用舉例:
If he is a good doctor,who can cures himself. (修飾作用)
能給自己治病的醫(yī)生就是好醫(yī)生(諺語)
精講筆記:
1. When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload anumber of wooden boxes which contained clothing.
當(dāng)一架來自倫敦的飛機抵達(dá)悉尼機場時,工人們開始卸下裝有服裝的一批木箱。
語言點1 本句中when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。from London作plane的后置定語。
語言點2 比較學(xué)習(xí):cloth, clothes, clothing, garment, dress, suit
cloth “布,布料”,復(fù)數(shù)為cloth / cloths
clothes “衣服”,只有復(fù)數(shù)形式
clothing衣服的總稱,是不可數(shù)名詞
garment通常指成衣
dress往往指女服
suit常指套裝
2. No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy.
其中有只箱子特別重,可誰也弄不清是怎么回事。
語言點1 本句包含一個典型的同位語從句,that one of the boxes was extremely heavy為the fact的同位語,起解釋說明作用。

答案:選A
分析:同位語從句 that we'll never know what a UFO is----not ever作a feeling 的同位語,解釋afeeling的具體內(nèi)容。
