核心知识
掌握如下交际用语
(1)Perhaps I’ll go to that one．前面已经谈论到的某个名词，且交际双方都很明白时，可用one代替这个名词．如：
- Which pen do you like better，the red one or the blue one?
- The redone，please．
(2) Maybe it was useful for some people．
I’m not sure if/whether
I doubt if he’ll be asked to speak again next year．
I’m not sure that
当说话者对自己想说的话题不肯定时，可用上述句型．当说话者对自己想说的话题很肯定时，可用句型I’m sure．．．．
2．辨析下列单词和短语
(1)invent 和 discover
invent译为“发明”，指以前不存在的东西现在被“发明”了出来．
discover译为“发现”，指以前本来存在而未被发现的事物，现在被“发现”了．
It is Thomas Edison that invented the electric lamp．
The matter that the Curies had discovered was radium．
(2) whether 和 if
whether和if引导的名词性从句用做宾语从句时，一般可互换使用：
I don’t know whether/if Tom is studying here．
用作主语从句中时，只能用whether，不能用if．例如：
Whether he is here or not is still unknown．
典型例题
讨论难点
(1)The scientist ______ speech I went to was a man named Pierre．
[课本第5页第3部分第1题]
应填whose．(定语从句部分可理解为：I went to the scientist’s speech．)
(2)The institute ______ I studied had very little equipment．
[同上第9题]
应填where．定语从句中的studied是不及物动词，因此关系词应为关系副词．
同样的例子还有：
The laboratory ____ she carried out her research was on the ground floor．
[ Workbook L．3]
请做下列两题：
This is the school ____ I studied last year．
This is the school ____ I visited last year．
第一题应填where；第二题应填which，that或者不填，因为visit是及物动词，这里应填关系代词．
剖示考点
例 NMET 1994
(1)The weather turned to be very good，________we hadn’t expected．
A．it B．what C．that D．which
答案为D．根据定语从句的基本用法，这道题目并不难解，在非限制性定语从句中，先行词为“物”时，不能用that，应用which．本题的难点是：整个主句为这句非限制性定语从句的先行词．
例 NMET 1993
(2)The doctor ______ is leaving for Africa next month．
A．the nurse is talking to him B．whom the nurse is talking
C．the nurse is talking to D．who the nurse is talking
答案为C．当先行词在定语从句中充当宾语时，可省略关系代词．本句中的talk是不及物动词，没有介词to，后面不能直接跟宾语，因此B和D不对A之所以不对是介词to已有宾语(关系代词who或whom)，只不过是被省略了．选项A中的him使该定语从句不能成立．
例 NMET 2000
(3)Dorothy was always speaking highly of her role in the play，________，of course，made the others unhappy．
A．who B．which C．this D．what
此句仍测试定语从句，考点为非限制性定语从句，整个主句充当先行词，答案是B．
