模塊三 語法專練：名詞性從句
【考點透視】
在中學英語中，名詞性從句是復合句中構成和分類最為復雜的部分。根據近年來高考英語命題的走向，今后它將仍然是考查的熱點。其主要考點分布在：名詞性從句的語序、名詞性從句的連接詞的辨析、有關名詞性從句的常見句型等。
名詞性從句在句中的作用相當于名詞，共有四種：主語從句、表語從句、賓語從句和同位語從句。
引導名詞性從句的連詞有：
①連接代詞：who，whose，whom，what，which。
②連接副詞：when，where，why，how。
③其他連接詞：that，whether，if，as if。
注意：
①連接代詞和連接副詞在句中不是疑問詞，因此從句中不用疑問式(即不要倒裝)。
②連接代詞和連接副詞在句中充當句子成分。
③連接詞that，whether，if，as if在句中只起連接作用，不充當句子成分。
（一）主語從句
主語從句在句中作主語，它可以放在主句謂語動詞之前，但是當主語從句太長時，同是把它放在句子后部，前面用it作形式主語，如：
It doesn’t matter so much whether you will come or not. 你來還是不來，關系不大。
(whether you will come or not是主語從句，it在句中作形式主語)
（二）表語從句
表語從句在句中作表語，位于主句系動詞之后。如：
That’s why he was late.
注意：表語從句還可用as if引導。如：
She looked as if she was going to cry.
（三）賓語從句
賓語從句在句子中作及物動詞或介詞賓語，在使用賓語從句時有以下幾點需要注意：
1．時態呼應：當主句謂語動詞是過去時態，賓語從句要使用過去時態的某種形式。
2．介詞之后的賓語從句，一般不用if或which連接，要用what或whether。
3．whether和if都可以引導動詞之后的賓語從句，二者常可互換，但是在正式文體中．或從句中有or not時，只用whether，不用if。
4．注意否定前移：當主句是I / We think (或suppose，expect，believe，imagine，guess) 時，其后的賓語從句如果是否定的，常常把否定詞not從從句移到主句。比較：
I think you are not right.
I don’t think you are right.
I believe they won’t win the game.
I don’t believe they will win the game.
（四）同位語從句
同位語從句一般跟在某些表示抽象概念的名詞后面，用以說明名詞所表示的具體內容。常跟同位語從句的名詞主要有：idea，news，fact，promise，answer，belief，condition．doubt，fear，hope，problem，proof，question，reply，report，suggestion，thought，truth等。
同位語從句可由that，whether，when，how等連詞引導。
【題例精析】
【例1】 Your ability has never been in doubt - the question is _______ you are prepared to work hard. （2007啟東中學3月卷）
A. that B. whether
C. if D. how
【易錯點悟】解答該題的關鍵是要注意連接詞if 和whether引導名詞性從句的用法區別。
【要點精析】根據題干意義“……問題是你是否準備努力學習”，因此選項A、D不符合句子意思；if在名詞性從句中僅可以連接賓語從句，不可引導其它名詞性從句，故應排除。
【答案】B
【例2】The recent information has been put forward________ more high school graduates will be admitted into universities.
A. as B. which
C. while D. that
【易錯點悟】解答該題的關鍵是分析句子意思，推斷從句類型。
【要點精析】該題是主語從句，分析從句意義可知，選項B、C、D連接主語從句時，意義不成立，故應選連接詞that，that在此無意義，僅起連接作用。

【答案解析】
1．C。what he /she / it used to be已經成為一種習慣說法，意為“過去的樣子”。what指一種情況，并非指人，所以不可用who/whom。正確答案是C。
2．D。who可以代替whom在句中作have的賓語。而examined和賓語存在被動關系，用作賓語補足語。正確答案是D。
3．A。主句承前省略，答案只保留了賓語從句，這樣不管在意義和結構方面都要和賓語從句一致；由上下文情景可知A選項最佳。
4．C。depend on是固定詞組“依靠”，其中介詞on之后的賓語從句只可用whether引導。
5．A。idea是從句前面的先行名詞；what引導同位語從句，在從句中作賓語。很明顯從句部分是對前面先行名詞的具體內容的進一步說明。正確答案是A。
6．D。whoever表示“無論是誰”。正確答案是D。
7．C。本題考點是賓語從句。go是第一次出現，不可省略；是“父母親讓我去(let me go)”才合題意。正確答案是C。
8．B。the reason后面的表語從句中應用that而不是because引導。正確答案是B。
9．A。題意：“你十點鐘打電話時”正是“我看醫生之時”。在題干中用作表語從句。
10．C。where引導表語從句，B項不能引導表語從句，其他選項意思與題干不符。
11．D。加牛奶的咖啡為white coffee，所以black or white表示方式，這樣以說明說話人想要表達的準確意義。正確答案是D。
12．C。本題考查賓語從句。Jenny can come home this weekend是個完整的句子，因此引導詞用that。
13．D。do you think為插入語，在含有插入語的句子中，謂語動詞用陳述句語序。正確答案是D。
14．A。句意所缺部分表示“自從何時起”。when引導的部分說明的是一個時間點。
15．A。What's one's address?是表示問某人地址的交際語，不可用when。which描指代十八或十九中的一個。
16．A。所缺引導詞引導賓語從句且作has的主語。因此要使用主格，在從句中充當主語。
17．D。you think為插入語；whatever引導讓步狀語從句；I will表示將來的動作。正確答案是D。
18．D。make use of 中的use被當作了先行詞。正確答案是D。
19．C。no wonder表示“難怪；怪不得”。后面的部分用作同位語從句。
20．A。本題考點是賓語從句。其中help sb. with sth.用法中的賓語由what充當。
21．A。本題考查 it + be + v-ed +that-從句。第一個空中的第二個that表示“那”，第二空中的that引導定語從句修飾all。正確答案是A。
22．B。he has和he is后分別需要賓語和表語，what引導從句。正確答案是B。

30．C。what引導主語從句，并在主語從句中作主語。句意為“在許多國家，所謂的公立學校并非公眾所有”。
31．B。that引導主語從句只起連接作用，在從句中不作任何成分，無意義，但不能省略。what除引導主語外，還在從句中作成分。which指一定范圍內的“哪一個”；whether意為“是否”。根據句意“世上的事喜憂交替”可知答案為B。
32．D。that引導同位語從句：what the book said是同位語從句中的主語。正確答案是D。
33．C。賓語從句應用陳述語序，play a part in意為“(在……中)扮演角色，(在……中)起作用”。

39．A。在after之后的賓語從句中缺主語要用what，而不用it，表示the period/time that，意為“在那看似很長的一段時間之后”。
40．A。第一空是考查not until的強調句型，第二空是賓語從句中的主語，用what。
41．D。這是賓語從句里再帶有主語從句的復雜的句子。章為：“李教授的書將告訴你所觀察到的東西如何應用到其他領域”。
42．D。考查賓語從句中充當主語的方法。what相當于the place that...。
43．C。第一空是考查插入語的用法，第二空是賓語從句以that引導。
44．D。考查it作形式賓語的用法。真正的賓語為后面的that從句。
45．D。本題考查賓語從句中包含主語從句的用法。第一空what在主語從句中作devote to的賓語。第二空be of great necessity表示“很有必要”。
46．D。考查賓語從句中what充當主語的用法。what相當于the place that。故答案是B。

50．B。在主語從句中不缺成分，用that，不可省略。意為：“她們是真正的姐妹，這從她們的面部長相就可看出。”故正確答案是B。
51．B。第一空考查以what引導的從句作mind的賓語。第二空是wherever引導的讓步狀語從句。
52．B。讓步狀語從句中又帶有一個主語從句，并且作主語，用what。故正確答案是B。
53．A。在wondering后的賓語從句中，who作主語，并且帶有插入語he expects。
54．D。考查以where引導的表語從句，如用C要改為：That's the building when...那就是where引導的定語從句。故正確答案是D。
55．A。whoever既引導名詞性從句作介詞to的賓語，又在從句中作主語，表示“任何一個”，不可用whoever。
56．B。... in view of his special circumstances表示“鑒于他的特殊情況”，作插人語，后面是以that引導的賓語從句。故正確答案是D。
57．C。考查以that引導的名詞性從句作fear的同位語，在從句中不充當成分。
58．C。在It’s strange / necessary / important ... that ...句型中，用虛擬語氣，should十動詞，should可以省略，但不可以換成would。
59．B。that引導的是主語從句。when the rain stops在主語從句中是時間狀語從句。
60．B。題干中的reason是同位語從句中的先行名詞，該名詞和其后的從句被介詞短語分隔，這樣給解題造成一定的難度。reason后的同位語從句用that引導。本題答案B。
61．B。本題考查賓語從句的連接詞。根據上下文的意思，后半部分說的是“我可以及時去給他送行”，說明要求提示的是“時間”。本題答案為B。
62．B。本題考查同位語從句。其中先行詞和從句部分被插入語所分隔。從句具體說明了先行名詞的內容。本題答案為B。
