牛津英语模块三名词性从句详解及配套高考练习
模块三Unit1名词性从句
一、概述
在句子中起名词作用的从句称为名词性从句。名词性从句包括主语从句，宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
二、名词性从句的引导词
1、连接代词：who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever 等
2、连接副词：when, where, why, how等
3、从属连词: that, whether, if, as if, because (as if, because 只引导表语从句)
连接代词和连接副词在句中不再是疑问词，因而从句中用陈述语序。
三、用法详解
（一）主语从句
1、主语从句用连接代词、连接副词和从属连词that, whether引导。that不可省略。
That you don’t like him has nothing to do with me. Whether John can do the experiment remains a question.

What surprised me most was that such a little girl can play the violin so well.
2、当主语过长时，常常用it作形式主语，而把真正的主语从句放在主句后面。常用句型有：
1)It +be +形容词（true, possible, certain, likely, surprising,
strange, important…）+ that从句
It’s certain that she will do well in the exam.
It’s likely that he will tell me everything about that night.
2)It +be +名词词组（no wonder, an honor, a pity, high time

（四）同位语从句
1、同位语从句一般跟在某些名词后面，用以解释或说明前面的名词
的内容。这些名词有：fact, news, message, doubt, possibility,
idea, reason, belief, suggestion等。

is still unknown to many people..
The question who should do the work requires consideration.
2、分隔现象：同位语从句有时与从句分开。如：

for the poor girl.
An idea occurred to him that he might go there by air.
3、同位语从句和定于从句的区别：
①同位语从句是队前面的名词补充说明；定语从句是对前面的名
词进行修饰限定作用。
②同位语从句中的that只起连接作用，不担任句子成分，不可以
省略；定语从句中的that除了起引导作用外还在定于从句中担
任主语或宾语或表语，任宾语时可以省略。区别：
The news that is spreading around the airport is that a
heavy snow is coming.
The news that the plane would take off on time made everybody happy.
4、注意点
1、whether和if的区别
（1）在宾语从句中可互换，但当宾语从句是否定时只用if。
He asked me if I hadn’t finished my homework.
（2）在主语从句、表语从句和同位语从句中只能用whether。（3）当与or not 联用时只能用whether。
（4）在动词不定式前面只能用whether。如：They haven’t decided whether to go.
（5）在介词后只能用whether。如：It depends on whether we have enough time.
2、名词性从句中主句和从句的时态一致
（1）宾语从句中主句和从句的时态保持一致，但如果从句中表示提示的是客观现象，虽然主句是过去时态，从句仍用一般现在时。
如：
Hello,
I didn’t know you were in London. How long have you been here
The teacher told us that light travels at a very high speed.
（2）主语从句作主语相当于单数第三人称作主语，谓语动词用单数，如果由and 连接两个或两个以上的主语从句作主语时，谓语动词用复数；由两个或多个连接词引导一个主语从句，谓语动词用单数。如：
When the meeting will begin has
not been decided yet.
When they will start and where they go have not been decided yet.
When and where the meeting will begin has
not been decided.
