【考点透视 考例精析】
[考点] 考查引导主语从句、表语从句的连接词的用法。
[考例1] _________ she couldn't understand was _________ fewer and fewer students showed interest in her lesson.
A.What, why B.What, that C.That, why D.That, that
[解析] A 本句的主语从句缺少主语,that不能引导主语从句并同时作主语,所以只能选what;第二个空缺表语从句的连接词,根据句子的意思,应该是一个表示原因的连接词,所以就是why。
[拓展] 引导主语从句时,that不做成分,但是还不能省略,这是一个值得注意的问题。因为that在引导定语从句作宾语及其它从句中是可以省略的;而that引导表语从句时也不做成分。
再如:
That he is a good official is known throughout the country. (that引导主语从句,不做成分)
The reason why he was late was that he had an unexpected visitor. (why引导定语从句;that引导一个表语从句。
[考点] 并列连词or的用法。
[考例2] Start out right away, ________ you'll miss the first train. [06 四川卷]
A.and B.but C.or D.while
[解析] C 解析:并列连词or表达的意义是 "否则, 要不然"。
[考点] 考查at表示一个时间点的用法。
[考例3] Don't call between 12 o'clock and 13 o'clock, _____________ I am usually having lunch.
A.at which B.at which time C. by which D.by which time
[解析] B 本题中的which引导一个定语从句,先行词为between 12 o'clock and 13 o'clock, at表示在12点和13点之间的某个时间,其表示的是一个"时间点",所以选B。
[拓展] 英语中表示时间的介词大多是固定的,比如:in the morning/in the afternoon/in the evening, at noon/at night/at midnight, on the morning of next Wednesday/on the afternoon of last
