从句可分为定语从句、状语从句和名词性从句,它们是中学阶段的重要语法项目。定语从句是形容词性从句,相当于形容词的用法,其功能是修饰先行词,对其性质、特征进行描述,先行词在定语从句中一般充当主语、宾语、表语、定语或状语等。状语从句是副词性从句,相当于副词的用法,其功能是在复合句中作状语。根据状语从句的含义,状语从句一般可以充当时间、地点、原因、条件、目的、结果、让步、方式和比较等从句。名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组,一般在句子中充当主语、表语、宾语或同位语。三大从句的考查历年都是高考的重点,关联词的选择是高考的主要考点,定语从句中对which的考查,宾语从句中对what和that的考查,让步、时间和条件状语从句的考查是重中之重。
一、三大从句的区别
三大从句存在一定的关联性,应抓住关键点,确定是何从句。试比较:
①It is known to all that the moon travels around the earth.(主语从句)
As is known to all, the moon travels around the earth.(定语从句)
What is known to all is that the moon travels around the earth.(主语从句与表语从句)
②The news (that/which) they won the match is true.(同位语从句)
The news that you told me yesterday is true. (定语从句)
③This is such a difficult problem as few of us can solve.(定语从句)
This is such a difficult problem that few of us can solve it.(结果状语从句)
④He has found the book (that/which) he lost.(定语从句)
He has found the book where he lost it.(地点状语从句) 高考体验
1.(2017·陕西卷)________is often the case with children, Amy was better by the time the doctor arrived.
A.It
B.That
C.What
D.As
答案 D [考查非限制性定语从句。句意:对于孩子来说经常会有这样的情况发生,当医生到达时,Amy(比之前)好多了。根据句意并分析句子成分可知,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,指代后面整个句子,又因为在句首,所以要用as引导该定语从句,as在从句中作主语。]
2.(2017·重庆卷)________struck me most in the movie was the father's deep love for
his son.
A.That
B.It
C.What
D.Which
答案 C [考查主语从句。句意:这部电影最打动我的是父亲对他儿子深深的爱。“________struck me most in the movie”为主语从句,所填词在从句中作主语,表示“什么”,故用what引导。]
二、三大从句各自的关联词
定语从句的引导词有关系代词和关系副词之分;名词性从句连接词分为连词、连接代词和连接副词。状语从句的连词也有意义和结构之分,因此,选择关联词要综合各方面因素来考虑。注意以下几点:
(1)what不能引导定语从句。
(2)whether/if不能引导定语从句。
(3)that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
(4)that既可引导定语从句也可以引导同位语从句,但that在定语从句中可作主语、表语和宾语,而that在同位语从句中不作成分,只起连接作用。
(5)which在定语从句中常可以替换that,但在名词性从句中不可以替换。

D.that
答案 D [考查同位语从句。句意:有确凿的证据表明,所有感觉中最难演绎的是身体上的痛苦。分析句子结构可知空格处引导的是evidence的同位语从句,从句结构和意义完整,故用that引导。]
3.(2010·新课标卷)As a child, Jack studied in a village school,________is named after his grandfather.
A.which
B.where
C.what
D.that
答案 A [考查定语从句。题干中先行词的后面有逗号,故后面的定语从句为非限制性定语从句,而定语从句中is前缺少主语,故只能用关系代词which。]
三、定语从句中which的考查
which既可引导限制性定语从句也可引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语、宾语或表语,高考中的考查重点是which在非限制性定语从句中的应用。which引导非限制性定语从句时,常代指整个主句。We have launched another manmade satellite, which is announced in today's newspaper. (2017·天津卷)
报纸资讯报道说,我们又发射了一颗人造卫星。

四、定语从句中where的考查
where引导定语从句时,在从句中作状语,主要有以下两种情况:
(1)表示具体的地点
Stephen Hawking believes that the earth is unlikely to be the only planet where life has developed gradually.(2010·福建卷)
史蒂芬·霍金认为,地球可能不是唯一有生命进化的行星。
(2)表示模糊的地点和抽象意义的地点(常见的先行词有race, job, activity, case, situation, point, position, stage, degree等)

五、名词性从句中what的考查
what引导名词性从句时表示“所有……的事物、东西,凡是……的事物”,充当从句的主语、宾语、表语或定语。
The message you intend to convey through words may be the exact opposite of what others actually understand.(what在从句中作宾语)(2011·上海卷)

七、名词性从句中whether的考查
whether为连词,在从句中不作任何成分,意为“是否”, 表示不肯定,不把握,有疑问等意义。

一、定语从句与同位语从句的比较
判断是定语从句还是同位语从句可以用“加词”的方法,即在名词和从句之间加入一个be动词,如果句子意思成立,则是同位语从句,否则,则是定语从句。试比较:
①The notice that meeting had to be put off was true.(同位语从句)
②The notice that he read just now was true.(定语从句)
高考体验
(2017·江苏卷)The notice came around two in the afternoon________the meeting would be postponed. A.when
B.that
C.whether
D.how
答案 B [考查同位语从句。分析句子成分可知,“________the meeting would be postponed”是同位语从句,解释说明notice的具体内容,从句句意完整,且不缺少成分,所以用that引导。]
二、定语从句与状语从句的比较
当涉及“地点”时,判断是定语从句还是状语从句的依据:看句中是否有先行词。试比较:
①Let's have a short meeting where we met last time.(地点状语从句,修饰动词have,表示开会的地方)
②This is the place where we had a meeting last time.(定语从句,在句中作定语修饰先行词the place)
高考体验

B.which
C.whose

A.while
B.when
C.where
D.though
答案 C [考查状语从句。句意:在毕业典礼上,一切东西都放在他想放的位置。此处where引导地点状语从句。]
三、定语从句与并列句的比较
区分定语从句与并列句,要注意句中的标点符号和连接词。如果句与句之间有并列连词and,but或者分号,则是并列句;如果是逗号,且逗号后的内容是对前
面内容的补充说明,则是非限制性定语从句,应该使用关系词。试比较:
①She brought with her three friends, none of whom I had ever met before.(定语从句)
②She brought with her three friends, and none of them I had ever met before.(并列句)
高考体验
(2017·重庆卷)John invited about 40 people to
his wedding, most of ________are family members.
A.them
B.that
C.which
D.whom
答案 D [考查定语从句。句意:约翰邀请了大约四十个人参加他的婚礼,其中大部分是家庭成员。该定语从句的先行词指人,且“most of ________”在从句中充当主语,空处位于介词后,故用关系代词whom引导。]
四、定语从句与强调句的区分
区分是定语从句还是强调句,看从句中是否缺少句子成分,如果去掉it is/was和that/who,结构仍完整,则为强调句,反之,则为定语从句。试比较:
①It was in the hospital that he came across a friend of his.(强调句)
②It was the hospital where he came across a friend of his.(定语从句)
此外,高考时常将定语从句与省略、强调结合起来在具体语境中进行考查,所以,我们在解题时不能只考虑语法,还应注意实际交际功能。如:
—Where did you get to know her?
—It was on the farm where we worked.
高考体验
(2017·重庆卷)It was with the help of the local guide ________the mountain climber was rescued.
A.who
B.that
C.when
D.how
答案 B [考查强调句。句意:在当地导游的帮助下,这个登山运动员才得以获救。强调句的基本结构为:It is/was+被强调部分+that/who ...]
五、定语从句中关系代词与关系副词的比较
关系代词在定语从句中作主语、宾语、表语和定语;关系副词在定语从句中作状语。
注意:先行词是地点名词时,关系词不一定用where;先行词是时间名词时,关系词不一定用when;先行词是reason时,关系词不一定用why。试比较:
①This is the factory where I worked last year.
This is the factory (that/which) I visited last year.
②I will never forget the day when I worked with them.
I will never forget the day (that/which) I spent with them.
③This is the reason why he was absent from school.
This is the reason (that/which) he explained for his absence from school.
以上例句中visit,spend和explain为及物动词,从句中缺少宾语,故应用that/which引导。
高考体验
1.(2017·四川卷)Nowadays people are more concerned about the environment ________they live.
A.what
B.which
C.when
D.where
答案 D [考查定语从句。句意:现在人们更加关心他们所居住的环境。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为environment,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where。]
2.(2017·全国卷Ⅱ)That evening,________I will tell you more about later, I ended up working very late.
A.that
B.which
C.what
D.when
答案 B [考查定语从句。句意:那天晚上,我工作到很晚,我以后会告诉你更多相关的情况。which I will tell you more about later是非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作about的宾语,代指that evening。 ]
六、定语从句中as与which的比较
(1)as引导的非限制性定语从句放在主句之前、主句之后或者插在主句中间皆可,表示众所周知或意料之中的事;而which引导的非限制性定语从句则只能放在主句之后。
(2)当非限制性定语从句的谓语为be announced, be expected, be known, be reported, be said, be shown等被动式谓语时,常用as引导。
(3)as表示整个主句内容时,有时含有“正如;正像”等意思,而which无此意。
(4)在下列固定结构中,关系代词as代表整个主句所述的内容,一般不用which。例如:
as we know
众所周知
as has been said before
如前所述
as is often the case
情况常常如此
试比较:
①Li Ming was late for school again, which made Mr. Zhang very angry.
②You know, as we expected, Li Ming was late for school again.
③As is known to all, China is in the east of Asia.

A.who
B.which
C.what
D.that
答案 B [考查定语从句。which 引导非限制性定语从句,指代整个主句部分的内容。]
七、定语从句中who, whom与whose的比较
who在引导的定语从句中作主语,whom作宾语,whose作定语,其中who也可以代替whom作宾语,但who不能位于介词后;who与whom只能指人,whose既可指人又可指物。
试比较:
①He is the only one of the students who has passed the exam.
②Do you know the man who(m) Mr. Black talked with just now?
Do you know the man with whom Mr. Black talked just now?
③We live in the room, whose window faces the south.

A.who
B.whose
C.whom
D.which
答案 B [考查非限制性定语从句。句意:我想感谢史密斯教授,没有他的帮助我不会取得这样的成绩。从句中的help是名词,与Professor Smith是所属关系,故用whose。]
八、名词性从句中what与that的比较
that引导名词性从句时,在从句中不充当任何成分,也没有任何含义;what引导名词性从句时,在从句中要充当一定的句子成分。试比较:
①What
he said made me angry.
That
he said so made me angry.
②That
we need more time is clear.
What we need is more time.

答案 A [考查名词性从句。句意:在十字路口无论你向右转还是向左转都没关系,两条路都通向公园。句中的It是形式主语,whether引导主语从句。whether ... or ...意为“是……还是……,不管……还是……”。]
十、名词性从句中whichever与whoever及whatever的比较
whoever与whatever表泛指,意为“无论谁”,“无论什么”;whichever表示在特定范围内选择,意为“无论……的哪一个、哪一些”。试比较:

1.(2017·江苏卷)________one of you breaks the window will have to pay for it.
A.Whoever
B.Whatever
C.Whichever

2.(2017·陕西卷)As many as five courses are provided, and you are free to choose________ suits you best.
A.whatever
B.whichever
C.whenever
D.wherever
答案 B [考查宾语从句。句意:提供给你五门功课,你可以自由选择最适合于你的课程。宾语从句中缺少主语,故排除C、D两项。因为前面已提出有五门课程,是有固定范围的,故用whichever。whatever是没有范围的,不符合题意。]
十一、名词性从句中who与whoever的比较
who在名词性从句中表示“谁”;whoever相当于anyone who或those who。试比较:
①Whoever breaks the law should be punished.
②Who broke the glass is still unknown.
高考体验

B.whom
C.whoever
D.whomever
答案 C [考查连接代词。句意:我们承诺给参加聚会的人一个同电影明星照相的机会。此处考查宾语从句,且从句中缺少主语,故排除B、D两项。whoever 相当于anyone who,强调任何一个人,故选C。]
十二、名词性从句中why与because的比较
why引导名词性从句时意思是“为什么”,可在从句中作主、宾、表、同位语从句;because意思是“因为”,只引导表语从句。试比较:
①He was late. That's because he was stuck in the traffic jam.
②He was stuck in the traffic jam. That's why he was late.
高考体验

A.why

C.because
D.whether
答案 C [考查名词性从句的引导词。句意:从太空中看,地球是蓝色的。这是因为它表面约百分之七十一都被水覆盖着。此处考查的是表语从句的引导词,主要涉及because和why引导表语从句时的区别。分析前后两句之间的逻辑关系可知,此处为“前果后因”,应用because,故选C。]
十三、as引导的让步状语从句与although引导的让步状语从句的比较
although引导让步状语从句句子为正常语序,而as引导让步状语从句用倒装。试比较:
①Although he worked hard, he failed in the exam.
②Hard as he worked, he failed in the exam.
高考体验
1.(2017·陕西卷)Hot ________the night air was, we slept deeply because we were so tired after the long journey.
A.although
B.as
C.while
D.however
答案 B [考查倒装句。句意:尽管夜间的空气很热,但我们睡得很沉,因为长途旅行之后,我们太累了。as引导让步状语从句时,从句用倒装语序,其结构为:名词/形容词/副词/动词+as+主语+谓语动词。although与while也可以引导让步状语从句,但它们不能用倒装语序。]

A.If
B.As
C.Although
D.Unless
答案 C [考查连词。句意:尽管有规律的锻炼是很重要的,但是在临近就寝的时候进行锻炼绝不是一个好主意。根据句意可知,此处是一个让步状语从句,故用 although 引导。]
十四、时间状语从句中since与before的比较
since引导时间状语从句表示“自从……以来”,主句常用完成时;before表示“在……之前;还未……就……;还未来得及……就……”等,常构成句式:It was not long before ...,It will be some time before ...等。试比较:
①He hung up before I could explain what had happened.
②It is three years since he came to work in our school.
③It will be two weeks before they finish the work.
高考体验
(2017·陕西卷)I have heard a lot of good things about you ________I came back from abroad.
A.since
B.until
C.before
D.when
答案 A [考查连词的用法。句意:自从我从国外回来,我就听说了很多关于你的好事。since“自从”,引导时间状语从句,符合语境。]
十五、分隔式从句
定语从句一般紧跟在先行词的后面,但有时为了行文的需要,先行词与定语从句直接也会被同位语、状语、谓语等成分分开,解决这类题目的关键是把分隔部分去掉,并能够正确查找先行词。同位语从句也有类似情况,且数量更多。
I've become good friends with several of the students in my school who I met in the English speech contest last year.(定语从句和先行词被in my school隔开)(2010·湖南卷)
我已与去年在英语演讲比赛中遇到的我校的几个学生成为了好朋友。

B.who
C.where
D.what
答案 B [考查定语从句。分析句子成分可知,“________urgently needed clean water, medicine and shelter to survive”是定语从句,修饰先行词people,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词who。]
2.(2017·江苏卷)Evidence has been found through years of study ________children's early sleeping problems are likely to continue when they grow up.
A.why
B.how
C.whether
D.that
答案 D [考查同位语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格后面的部分是解释说明Evidence的内容的,是Evidence的同位语从句,从句中不缺任何成分,故选连词that。]
十六、三大从句与并列句的区别
有时学生容易混淆定语从句与并列句,以至于无法判断是用人称代词还是关联词,解题的关键是看题干中的横线前有无and。试比较:
①They live in a small house, in front of which stands an orange tree.(定语从句)
They live in a small house, and in front of it stands an orange tree.(并列句)
②The team is made up of 20 scientists, most of whom are from China.(定语从句)
The team is made up of 20 scientists, and most of them are from China.(并列句)

A.all of what
B.all of which
C.all of them
D.all of whom
答案 D [考查定语从句。句中定语从句的先行词是the children,此处关系词在定语从句中作宾语,故应该用关系代词whom,故选D项。]

A.them
