1．[2015·湖南高考]It is a truly delightful place,
looks the same as it must have done 100 years ago with its winding streets and pretty cottages.
答案：which 根据结构，此题为一个非限制性定语从句，且句中缺少主语，故用which。
2．[2015·陕西高考]As the smallest child of his family, Alex is always longing for the time
he should be able to be independent.
答案：when 根据结构分析，“the time”后为一个句子，“the time”为一个时间名词，故是一个定语从句，该定语从句中只能填时间状语，故用关系副词when。
3．[2015·重庆高考]He wrote many children's books, nearly half of
were published in the 1990s.
答案：which 根据句式结构分析，逗号后为一个非限制性定语从句，且从句中缺少主语又构成“介词＋which”的结构，故用which指代books在从句中作主语。
4．[2015·四川高考]The books on the desk,
covers are shiny, are prizes for us.
答案：whose 根据句式结构分析，逗号后为定语从句，而句中主语“covers”与先行词“books”之间为所属关系，故用whose。
5．[2015·北京高考]Opposite is St. Paul's Church,
you can hear some lovely music.
答案：where 分析句子结构可知，“
you can hear some lovely music”是非限制性定语从句，“where”替代先行词“St. Paul's Church”在定语从句中作地点状语。
6．[2015·天津高考]The boss of the company is trying to create an easy atmosphere
his employees enjoy their work.
答案：where 根据句式结构分析，先行词为“atmosphere”， 而其后的定语从句中不缺少主、宾、表等主要句子成分，只能填关系副词。像atmosphere, case, point, situation, stage, activity, occasion等表示抽象意义的名词为先行词，且定语从句中缺少状语的情况下，应用关系副词where引导。
7．[2017·重庆高考]We'll reach the sales targets in a month
we set at the beginning of the year.
答案：which/that'在本句中，先行词是“the sales targets”，关系代词在定语从句中作set的宾语，所以填关系代词which/that。
8．[2017·浙江高考]I didn't become a serious climber until the fifth
grade,
I went up to rescue a kite that was stuck in the branches of a tree.
答案：when 在本句中，先行词为“the fifth grade”，设空处在定语从句中作时间状语，故填when。
9．[2017·湖南高考]Happiness and success often come to those
are good at recognizing their own strengths.
答案：who/that 考查定语从句。根据句意，先行词指人，且在从句中作主语，故填who/that。
10．[2017·重庆高考]John
invited
about 40
people
to
his
wedding, most of
are family members.
答案：whom 考查定语从句。从句中没有宾语，故填关系代词。根据句意，先行词指人，位于介词之后只能用whom。
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
[2017·广东高考]One day, Nick invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he
16
(find) that he had run out of salt. So Nick called to his son, “Go to the village and buy some salt, but pay a fair price for it; neither too much
17
too little.”
His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less,
18
not save a bit of money？”
“That would be a very
19
(reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours，” Nick said.
Nick's guests,
20
had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason a man would sell salt
21
a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing
a lack of respect
22
the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”
“But such a small thing couldn't
23
(possible) destroy a village.”
“In
the beginning, there was only
24
very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always
25
(think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”
Step 1：通读全文，掌握主旨大意。
本文讲述的是尼克叫儿子去买些盐，并交代儿子要以合理公平的价格买，不能破坏市场平衡的故事，告诉我们要懂得尊重他人的劳动和维护生活中的公平。
Step 2：逐题解答，确定答案。
16．found。考查时态。“他发现他的盐已经用完了。”由前一句中的“One day, Nick invited.”可知答案。
17．nor。考查副词。此处为固定结构。
18．why。考查连词。根据上下文可知，此处表示尼克的疑问。
19．reasonable。考查词性转换。修饰名词用形容词。
20．who。考查定语从句。从句中缺少主语且指人，可确定答案。
21．at。考查介词。“以比较低的价格”。
22．for。考查固定短语。“show respect”与哪个介词搭配。
23.possibly。考查副词。修饰动词应用副词。
24．a。考查冠词。表示“一点儿，少量的”。
25．thinking。考查非谓语动词。everyone是主语，added是谓语，think的逻辑主语是everyone，两者之间是主动关系。
Step 3：代入验证。
