【高考英语单项填空分类详解·定语从句】
1. C。先行词是地点名词，且定语从句中缺地点状语，用关系副词 where。
2. D。关系代词 which 代替 Carol 所说的话。句意为：Carol 说这工作将在十月完成，我本人对此表示怀疑。
3. B。关系代词 which 代表前面整个主句，在定语从句中作主语。of course 为插入语，做题时可略去不看。
4. B。关系代词 as 代表整个主句，在定语从句中作主语。
5. C。先行词是表示时间的词 the hours，并在定语从句中作状语，因此选关系副词 when。定语从句与先行词被 back to me 分开。
6. B。as 在定语从句中代表主句。意为“正如…”，它引导的定语从句既可放在主句前，也可放在主句后。which 也可以代表主句，意为“这 / 那件事…”，但它引导的定语从句只能放在主句的后面。
7. D。on 不表钟点; by 指时间“到那时为止”。句意为“在办公室里，我似乎直到下午5:30才有空，那时，许多人都已回到家。”
8. C。先行词是 those(指 those flowers)。they once grew 前省略了关系代词 which。副词 once 要放在行为动词前。句意为：这儿所养的花是由他们曾在森林里种植的花培养出来的。
9. A。答案中的“I think”是插入语，如果将其去掉，便可清楚地看出答案。另外，which 在题中引导一个非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语。
10. D。考点与是在第20小题相同，题干的句子结构也几乎一样。
11. B。表示先行词所表示的“那个人或物的…”用 whose…或the…of which=of which…。因此，表示 “花瓶的价格” 可说 the price of which 或 of which the price 或 whose price。另外，若在 its price 前加 and 也对。
12. A。先行词是 situation，指地点位置，用 where(=in which)引导定语从句。
13. D。先行词是 many cases，定语从句中缺状语(in many cases在许多情况下)，用 where (=in which)引导定语从句。
14. B。tell sb about…把有关…的情况告诉某人。
15. D。这是非限制性定语从句，先行词是 moment，关系词在从句中作状语，用 when。
16. C。which 代表整个主句，在定语从句中作 hadn’t expected 的宾语。
17. C。用 whose 作定语。
18.C。关系代词 which，代表 John 所说之事，在定语从句中作主语。which = and that / this / it。
19. A。the reason 后接定语从句。因为代表先行词 the reason 的关系代词 that / which 作 explained 的宾语，所以被省略了。注意与 the reason why?不同：Is there any reason why you can’t come? (why 在定语从句中作状语)
20. D。先行词是人 The famous basketballer(著名的篮球明星)，用 who 引导定语从句。
21. D。先行词是表时间的 age(时代)，并在定语从句中作状语，用 when。
22. C。先行词是地点名词 places，并在定语从句中作状语，用 where(www.yygrammar.com)。
23. B。先行词虽然是表地点的 York，但代表它的关系词在定语从句中作及物动词 visited 的宾语，排除 C 和 D; 又因 that 不可引导非限制性定语从句，排除 A。
24. D。此题不仅考查定语从句，同时考查虚拟语气。其中的without which为介词加关系代词结构，介词短语表达与过去事实相反的条件。
25. A。这是考查非限制性定语从句。因为the sailing time与nine months是部分与整体的关系，所以选A：of which the sailing time =the sailing time of which =and the sailing time of the nine months。句意是：这次环球旅行花了这个老水手9个月的时间，其中海上航行时间有226天。
26. A。因为前后是句子，而又没有连词连接，所以选A，将后句变成一个起补充作用的非限制性定语从句，80% of which=and 80% of them (其中80%)。
27. D。因前后是两个句子，必须要有连词将其连接，排除A和B; 若选C，那么that引导的定语从句修饰the large one，因缺少谓语动词而不成句子; 所以只有D正确：the larger of which =and the larger of them (其中较大的那一座建筑物)。
28. C。因为表示“在剧中演出”是act in a play，所以选C：my students acted in the play。
