高考题看point等词后的定语从句1

从一道高考题看point等词后的定语从句

浙江省高考英语卷中有这样一道试题：

I have reached a point in my life ____ I am supposed to make decisions of my own.

A. which

B. where

C. how

D. why

这道题考察的是point 后的定语从句的关系词。point 等词后接定语从句的用法在近几年的各地高考试题中频繁出现，例如：

1,（09北京）—What do you think of teacher ,Bob？

我们知道，地点名词后当然可以接where引导的定语从句，但是有一些名词本身并不表示地点，而是表示“情况，方面”等，其后也可以接where引导的定语从句，这类名词常见的有point, case, situation, condition, job 等。这种用法中的where相当于under which, from which 等，意为“在这种情况下，从……中”等。又如：This is a job where you can learn something.

1, —Do you have anything to say for yourselves? （06江西卷）

—Yes ,there’s one point we must insist on.

A．why B. where C．how D．/

2, I agree with Jane’s point we need to look more closely at the costs.

A, which B, that C, where D, how

3, I have seldom seen a situation made me angry.

A, where B, that C, what D, /

【解析】1，选D。本题考查的是关系词的选择。学生很容易受到思维定势的影响而选择Ｂ，认

为point 后面应该用关系副词where 引导定语从句。其实本题定语从句中缺少的是宾语，故应该选用关系代词。

2，选B。本题考查的是同位语从句的引导词。学生同样会受到思维定势的影响而选择C。其实仔细分析就会发现此题中的point 意为“见解，观点”，其后应跟一个同位语从句说明其具体内容，故本题应该选Ｂ。

3，选B。本题中的定语从句缺少主语，故应该选择关系代词来引导定语从句。

所以，我们在平时的教学中一定要向学生交代清楚选择关系词的原则，要注意分析从句的结构，避免思维定势的负面影响。

我们说高考试题是最好的模拟试题，其实教材也是最好的学习材料。在学生所使用的教材中经常会出现这样的句子，如在人教版新课标必修五的英语教材的第26页就有这样一句：Have you ever had a case where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick? 要积累素材，我们在平时还得做有心人。
