例1 Go and get your coat.
It’s ______ you left it.
A. there B. where C. there where D.
where there
分析:定语从句关系副词不可省略。there为副词,它不能做先行词。此题考察where引导的表语从句。正确答案为B项。
例2. Put the book _______ it should be
when you have finished reading it.
A. where B. in which C. at the place D.
the place where
分析:选项C项中少关系副词where, 选项B中缺少先行词。选项D中the
place前少介词,而where it should be作地点状语从句。正确答案A项。
例3 I shall never forget those years
_______ I lived in the country with the
farmers, _______ has a great effect on
my life.
A. that; which B. when; which C. which;
that D. when; who
分析:这一题含有两个定语从句。第一句的先行词为those years,
表示时间用关系副词when作状语;第二个句子由于从句前有一逗号,为非限制性定语从句,要用关系代词which,
代替those years在从句中作主语。本题答案为B。
例4 After living in Paris for fifty years,
he returned to the small town _______he
grew up as a child.
A. which B. that C. when D. where
分析:定语从句的先行词为the small town在从句中作地点状语,表示“在那里”,相当于he
grew up in the small town as a child。即先行词在从句中相当于一个介词短语。故用where。所以本题答案为D。
例5 Charles Babbage is generally considered
_____ the first computer.
A. to have invented B. inventing
C. to invent D. having invented
分析:consider作“认为”讲时,其后可接动词不定式。动词不定式的完成式表示已经发生的动作。正确答案为A项。
例6 The war ______ by the time the old
man left for Japan.
A. broke out B. was broken out
C. had broken out D. had been broken
out
分析:break out 不能用于被动语态。by表示时间一般和完成时态连用。正确答案为C项。
例7. _____ a boy, he used to play football
with us.
A. As for B. He is C. As D. To

分析:as 在此处表示“当……时候”,相当于when的意思,是连词,后面可省略主语和谓语。正确答案为C项。
