Unit 5 Canada —— “The true North”(Period 1 Warming up and Reading 1)
區分時可以在先行詞與與從句之間加一個系動詞be,使之構成一個新句子,如果句子通順且符合邏輯,則為同位語從句,反之,則為定語從句。
如:the report that he was going to resign was false.
他將辭職的傳聞是假的。
因為the report was that he was going to resign 句意通順,所以,that he was going to resign 是同位語從句。
例1:information has been put forward ____ more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities.(nmet上海)
a.while b.that c.when d.as
析:答案為b。more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities是information的內容,且information不在從句中作成分,所以該句為同位語從句。應將該句區別于:
it is said that more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities,this is the information ____ has been put forward.
a.what b.that c.when d.as
析:答案為b。that has been put forward為information的修飾性定語,且information在從句中作主語,所以該句為定語從句。
例2:she heard a terrible noise,____ brought her heart into her mouth.(met91)
a.it b.which c.this d.that
析:答案為b。分析語境含義、句子結構和句子成分可知,該句為非限制性定語從句,先行詞為a terrible noise,且它在從句中作主語。應將該句區別于:
i can\'t stand the terrible noise ____ she is crying loudly.
a.it b.which c.this d.that
析:答案為d。she is crying loudly是the terrible noise的內容,且the terrible noise不在從句中作成分,所以該句為同位語從句。
