「评析
从以上各题可以看出，定语从句的考查还是集中在关系词的选择，虽然也有关系词最一般的用法，但更多的是对特殊关系词的考查。总的说来有以下几点需要注意：
① 关系词的使用：一看先行词，二看关系词在从句中的作用。关系词的选择依据在于从句中所作的成分，先行词在从句中作主、定、宾语时，选择关系代词（who, whom, that, which, whose）；先行词在从句中作状语时，应选择关系副词（where 地点状语，when 时间状语，why 原因状语），如3）和7）。
7）I will not forget the ten years______ we both spent in the little village.
A.when
B.during which
C.which
D.in which
**：C
（虽然先行词时为表示时间的词汇the ten years，但是the ten yeas在后面的定语从句中作spent的宾语，因此应当用关系代词which来引导这个定语从句，而不是关系副词when.）
3）My vacation begins next Tuesday,______ I will leave for Florida.（1999.6）
A.which
B.that
C.while
D.when
**：D
（先行词next Tuesday在后面的定语从句中作状语，因此应当用关系副词when来引导这个定语从句。）
在此基础上熟记几个常用的固定句式，如：
the same … as
such … as
当看到先行词前有the same 或such修饰时，可直接从选项中找as，选择就变得比较简单，这时用不着考虑先行词是人还是物。
② 关系词在句中作定语，应当用关系词whose，如2）：
2）The investigation______ will soon be published, was made by John.（1998.6）
A.at which the results B.the results on which
C.whose results D.at whose results.
**：C
同学们应该熟悉关系词作定语时的各种变体，作定语的关系词可有以下变体，试比较：
the office whose windows are broken
the office the windows of which are broken
the office of which the windows are broken
上面的6）题就属于the windows of which这种形式：
6）A curve is a line______ no part is straight and which has no angle.
A.that B.whose C.in which D.of which
**：D
先行词是人时，同样也可有这三种形式，如：
the professor whose car was stolen
the professor the car of whom was stolen
the professor of whom the car was stolen
③注意"介词 + which/whom"的结构作关系词
从三级考试对定语从句的测试来看，主要考查的是介词的选择。"介词 + which/whom"主要有以下几种情况：
A. 介词是句中短语搭配的一部分，如1）和8）：
1）Before her marriage, she spent a considerable time in that very part of Shanghai,she belong.（1998.6）
A.Which
B.to where
C.to which
D.at which
**：C
（"属于"要用belong to，关系代词在句中作宾语，同时定语从句以介词结尾，因此把介词提前，形成to which she belong的结构。 ）
8）The grass______many animals live is abundant here.（2003.4）
A.by which B.with which C.on which D.of which
**：C
再如：
We need a chairman ______.
A.for whom everyone has confidence
B.in whom everyone has confidence
C.who everyone has confidence of
D.whom everyone has confidence on
**：B
（表示"信任某人"要用have confidence in somebody，所以作定语，应该用a chairman in whom … has confidence.）
B."部分 + of + 整体名词"的结构，该结构作关系词也就是 "部分名词 + of which/whom"的结构。
该结构的使用应注意两点，一是注意定语从句与并列句的分别，如：
5）The United States is composed of fifty states, 语教育网版权所有www.for68.com
A
two of those are separated from the others by land or water.
B C D
（2000.6）
**：B
再如：
He invited many scientists to his birthday party, many of ______ were his old classmates.
A.whom
B.them
C.which
D.that
**：A
这里很自然地会有many of whom 与many of them的选择。
C.在大多数情况下，要看关系词与先行词之间的关系，以确定选择什么样的介词，如10）：
10）The seventeenth century was one which many significant
A
advances were made in both science and philosophy.（2003.11）
B C D
**：A
④ 注意as引导的非限制性定语从句的用法
as引导非限制性定语从句时，可置于句首，也可置于句尾，表示"正如……".如9）：
9）______is known to all, too much smoking will cause lung cancer.（2003.11）
A.That
B.It
C.As
D.What
**：C
再如：The British are not so familiar with different cultures and other ways of doing things,______ is often the case in other countries.
A.as
B.what
C.so
D.that
**：A
______ might be expected, the response to the question was very mixed.
A.As
B.That
C.It
D.What
**：A
一般as引导定语从句时，其先行词为整个主句。which引导非限制性定语从句，其先行词也可以是主句或主句中的一部分。
⑤ 注意先行词为时间、地点或原因时，关系词的选用。如果用when, where 或why，关系词在从句中应该是作状语，否则的话则应该用which/that等。如上面7）中：
7）I will not forget the ten years______we both spent in the little village.（2001.6）
A.when
B.during which
C.which
D.in which
[答疑编号10010614：针对该题提问]
**：C
先行词作spent的宾语，只能用which.
再如：
I've never been to Beijing, but it is the place ______.
A.where I'd like to visit
B.in which I'd like to visit
C.I most want to visit
D.that I want to visit it most
**：D
先行词在从句中visit的宾语，关系词不能用where，而只能是that/which.
⑥注意定语从句与同位语从句的区别。如：
There are signs ______ restaurants are becoming more popular with families.
A.that
B.which
C.in which
D.whose
**：A
由于signs与后面的restaurants没有修饰和被修饰关系，所以whose不对，如果是定语从句，关系词代替signs，而从
