题目内容
Thanks to the timely treatment, the patient ______ people all thought would die slowly recovered.
- A.which
- B.whom
- C.who
- D.as
试题分析:句意:由于及时的治疗,人们认为这个会死去的病人慢慢地恢复了。这里who people all thought would die是定语从句,先行词是patient,who在定语从句中主语,whom在从句中作宾语,which不能指人,as“正如”不符合语境,故选C。
考点:考查定语从句的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。定语从句是高中阶段的重难点之一,需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力,能够正确理解句子的语境,熟练掌握关系词的意义及句法功能。
即学即练:The Chinese government has made the Mid-Autumn Festival a legal holiday, ______ people will have a day off.
A. when B. which C. where D. what
解析:A。句意:the MidAutumn Festival为先行词,指时间在从句中作时间状语,因此引导词用when。
_____his timely help , Kate overcame the hardship at last.
A.For |
B.Thanks to |
C.As a result |
D.Because |
Dear Economist,
My newly-wedded wife and I are deeply in love.There is, however, one issue that threatens the happiness of our marriage.I absolutely insist on shopping at Walmart.My wife, meanwhile, would rather avoid Walmart at all costs.
I have recently tried to convince her that not only does Walmart offer the lowest prices known to man, but that the chain is also a force for good―lower prices mean better standards of living for all consumers, increased global trade means a tighter-knit(紧密团结的) international community, and efficient operations translate into higher productivity growth for the economy.My wife complains about poor labour policies, the “fact” that Walmart squeezes suppliers, and that it puts local shops out of business.
Who is right? Will our marriage survive?
Brian Gee
Dear Brian,
I have to agree with you about Walmart.Jason Furman, then an economist at New York University, now an adviser to President Obama, famously argued in 2005 that Walmart was unwittingly (不知不觉地) a progressive success story.The chain’s prices don’t much affect me (I prefer Whole Foods) but Furman estimated that they benefited low-and-middle-income Americans to the sum of around $250 billion a year.
Walmart does not pay much, so it may depress wages.Then again, it may increase wages by offering jobs to the otherwise-unemployed.Either way, the benefits of low prices to Walmart shoppers far outweigh any seemingly reasonable costs to Walmart employees.And while it is true that Walmart employees tend to be poor, the same is true of Walmart shoppers.
Armed with this information you can face your wife with confidence.You are sure to win the conversation.The divorce is likely to be more argued.
