2.Is this the museum they visited last week?
3.Is this farm you used to work?
A.where B.that C.in which D.the one
答案:1.D 2.B 3.A
句1,句2是定語從句。句1中的the one是先行詞,后面省略了關(guān)系代詞that;句2中的關(guān)系代詞that在定語從句中作visited的賓語,此句還可以用which或者是省略關(guān)系代詞。句3中的where引導(dǎo)的是一個表語從句。
點撥:as在這里是連詞,引導(dǎo)一個方式狀語從句。 請看以下由as 引導(dǎo)的方式狀語從句的例子:
e.g.1.You’d better do as I did.
你最好按照我做的去做。
e.g.2.As what she said before,it was really difficult to persuade him to go with us.
正如她過去所說的,說服他和我們一塊走是一件很困難的事情。
作為連詞,as還可以引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。
e.g.1.Twelve days later,millions more Indians lined the railway tracks as a slow train took the jar containing his ashes 584 kilometers to a place by the river.
十二天后,當(dāng)一列慢車將盛有甘地骨灰的壇子駛向584千米外,靠近恒河的一個地方時,又有數(shù)百萬人排列在鐵路兩旁,夾道送行。
e.g.2.Three million people watched as the ashes of this great man were gently poured into the brown waters of the river that would carry them to the ocean.
還有300萬人守望著這位偉人的骨灰緩緩撒入褐色的恒河,河水把他的骨灰送向大海。
辨析:as,when 和while
這三個連詞都可以連接時間狀語從句,但有差別:如果主句和從句的時間相同,以選用as較宜,表示隨著……;而when只有一般時間意義,還可以表示at that time的含義;while是個連詞,它所表達(dá)的時間通常是指整個一段時間或過程,相當(dāng)于during which time的用法。從句中常常使用進(jìn)行時,還可以表示主從句的對比。
e.g.1.They came up stair as we went down.他們上樓,我們下樓。
e.g.2.As one grows older,one becomes more experienced.
人長大了,經(jīng)驗就更豐富了。
e.g.3.When one man is in difficulty,the thousands come to his aid.

e.g.5.We were watching TV while they were playing chess.
我們在看電視,而他們在下棋。
作為連詞,as還可以引導(dǎo)比較狀語從句,表示以下含義。
1.表示“(用于比較)與……一樣”的意思。
e.g.1.She works in the same building as my sister.
她和我的妹妹在同一棟大樓上班。
e.g.2.This is the same as it was before.這個與以前一樣。
2.表示“諸如”的意思。
e.g.such animals as cats and dogs 諸如貓、狗之類的動物
作為連詞,as還可以引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。
e.g.As the weather is fine,let’s go fishing.
既然天氣變得好起來了,咱們?nèi)メ烎~吧。
辨析:because,since,as 和for
because,since,as引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句:
because 引導(dǎo)的從句表示直接的、根本的原因,用來回答why 提出的問題,為全句重心所在。since引導(dǎo)的從句表示顯然的或已知的理由、原因,相當(dāng)于漢語的“既然”。主句是全句意思的重心,從句次之。as 引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句,與since沒多大區(qū)別。它們引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句,其原因已很明顯,不必加以強(qiáng)調(diào)。由as表示的原因,語氣最弱,往往譯成漢語的“由于”。
for 是個并列連詞,引導(dǎo)并列句,是對前句內(nèi)容的補充說明。
as還可以用作關(guān)系代詞,其含義是“正如”請看以下例子。
e.g.As you know,we have the right to vote.正如你知道的,我們有權(quán)選舉。
辨析:as和which
首先,這兩個詞意義不同。前者表示正如,后者沒有意義,只起連接作用。
其次,前者構(gòu)成的從句既可以前置又可以后置,而由后者構(gòu)成的從句則只能后置,不能前置。
再次,當(dāng)從句中有the same,such,so 時,只能用as。
比較:It is no use arguing with them,as we all see.和他們爭論是沒有用的,正如我們所看到的。(既可后置)
As we all see,it is no use arguing with them.(又可前置)正如我們都看到的,和他們爭論是沒有用的。
It is no use arguing with them,which we all see.
我們都看到了,和他們爭論是沒有用的。(只能后置)
as還可以用作介詞,其含義是“作為”。指處于某種狀態(tài)、性質(zhì)、情況、工作等之中。請看以下例子。
e.g.1.He works as a driver.他以開汽車為業(yè)。
e.g.2.The kitten uses that box as a bed.小貓把那盒子當(dāng)作床。
辨析:as和like
當(dāng)作介詞的時候,as只用于以下情況:
1.用作“作為”講的時候。
2.用來舉例,比如用來代替for example的時候;
3.用來引導(dǎo)某些動詞,如:look upon,regard,consider,treat,think of等的賓語的補語的時候。
e.g.1.As a writer,he has no equal.作為一個作家,他是首屈一指的。
e.g.2.Languages(such)as English,German,Dutch belong to the same family.
像英語、德語、荷蘭語等語言都屬于同一個語系。
