名词性从句高考常考点

• 高考常从语序 , 连接词的选择 ,it 作形式主语 , 语气 , 时态等方面来考查

一、考查名词性从句的语序• 在名词性从句中一律用陈述句的语序，即使从句

表达的是疑问含义。• [ 原题再现 ]• 　　 No one can be sure ________ in a millio

n years.• 　　 A. what man will look like• 　　 B. what will man look like• 　　 C. man will look like what• 　　 D. what look will man like

二、考查 it 作形式主语的用法

• 　英语中为了使句子保持平衡 , 常用先行词it 代替主语从句 , 而把主语从句放到句子的后面。 [ 原题再现 ]

• ________ is a fact that English is being accepted as an international language.

• A. There B. This C. That D. It

三 . 时态的考查• 宾语从句的谓语动词时态受主句谓语动词

的影响，如果主句的谓语动词是一般现在时，从句中的谓语动词可以用各种时态；如果主句中的谓语动词用了一般过去时，则从句中的谓语动只能用过去时的某种形式，但如果从句表达的是客观真理或客观存在则不受此影响。

• Turesson’s findings show that habitat, such as soil conditions, _____ equal importance to the output of crops.

• A. are B. is of C. is D. are of• ----unit4---

四 . 语气的考查• 与“命令、要求、建议”等相关的名词性从句中通常

用虚拟语气，虚拟语气的构成是“ should ＋动词原形”或省去 should ，直接用动词原形。

She insisted that she not be sent to the countryside. 她坚持不被派到农村去。 但是，如果 suggest 作“表明、暗示”讲， insist 作“坚持说、坚持认为”讲，则其后的宾语从句中应该用陈述语气。 The smile on his face suggested that he had passed the examination. 他脸上的微笑表明他已经通过了考试。

• He has given her a suggestion that she _____ a cottage in the country, with the money she has saved. A. bought B. buy C. buying D. buys

五、考查关联词的正确选用

• 这是近几年高考的重中之重。解决这一问题可以从以下几点入手 :

• 1. 依据 " 缺什么补什么 " 的原则确定正确的连词• 认真分析句子成分 , 看从句中缺什么成分 , 再根据

语境和语义 , 选用恰当的连词。如果从句中缺少主语 , 指人用 who, 指物则用 what; 如缺宾语 ,指人用 whom, 指物用 what; 如缺时间状语用 when; 地点状语用 where; 原因状语用 why; 方式状语用 how; 定语用 what 或 which; 如果从句中什么成分都不缺 , 用 that 。

• I don't know who will be our English teacher next term.( 缺主语 , 指人用 who)

• I know what should be • done and what shouldn't be done.• ( 缺主语 , 指物用 what)• I'm sure that he will • come tomorrow.• ( 什么成分都不缺 , 用 that)• Where he will go is still unknown.• ( 缺地点状语 , 用 where)• I don't know which / what topic • I should choose.( 缺定语 ,• 用 what 或 which)

-I drove to Zhuhai for the air show last week.-Is that ________ you had a few days off? A. why B. when C. what D. whereGive this book to ______ wants it.A. Whomever B. whoever C. no matter who D. no matter whom

注意几组易混连词的使用

• 1) what 与 that• 这是高考测试的一对热点连词 , 同学们一定

要将其掌握。 that 引导名词性从句时仅起连接作用 , 不作句子任何成分 , 除在宾语从句中外一般不可省略 ;what 引导名词性从句时 , 除起连接作用外 , 还在句子中担任主语、宾语、表语等句子成分。

　 [ 原题再现 ]

• ________ he said is true.• 　 A. What B. That C. Which D. Whethe

r

2) whether 与 if• whether 与 if 在引导动词的宾语从句时 , 两

者一般可以互换 , 但在引导主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句以及作介词宾语的宾语从句或后面直接跟 or not 时 , 只能用 whether 。

• 　　 [ 原题再现 ]• ________ we'll go camping tomorrow d

epends on the weather.• 　 A. If B. Whether C. That D. Where

• 3) "wh-+ever" 与 "wh-""wh-+ever" 引起的名词性从句不含疑问意义 , 相当于名词 / 代词后加一个定语从句 ; 而 "wh-" 如 what, which, who, whom, when, where 等除与前一种从句有相同的含义之外 , 还都有疑问意义。

[ 原题再现 ]① Eat ________ cake you like and leave the ot

hers for ________ comes in late.• A. any; who B. every; whoever • C. whichever; whoever D. either; whoever② ________ has helped to save the drowning

girl is worth praising.• A. Who B. The one C. Anyone D. Whoever③ It's a matter of ________ would take the po

sition.• A. who B. whoever C. whom D. whomever• 　　

3. 同位语从句与定语从句的区别• 同位语从句和定语从句都跟在名词后 ,极易

为某些同学混淆。同位语从句是用来对前面的名词解释说明的 , 而定语从句是用来对先行词加以限制的 ; 引导同位语从句的 that 在从句中不作任何成分 , 而引导定语从句的关系代词 that 则在定语从句中担任主语或宾语。

[ 原题再现 ]① Finally, the thief handed everything _

_______ he had stolen to the police.• A. which B. what C. whatever D. that② Information has been put forward __

______ more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities.

• A. while B. that C. when D. as• 　　

Doubt whether/ if 和 no(t) doubt that

• doubt 用于肯定结构时，后面用 whether/ if 引导名词性从句；用于否定结构或疑问结构时，后面用 that 引导名词性从句。 be sure 用于肯定句或疑问句时，后接 that引导的名词性从句；用于否定句时，后接whether/ if 引导的名词性从句。
