题目内容
Most people go to the theatre not to see a play ______ plot is complicated, but to listen to brilliant dialogues between actors.
- A.where
- B.what
- C.which
- D.whose
试题分析:考察定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是a play,定语从句中的关系代词whose放在名词plot的前面做定语。句意:很多人去剧院不是为了看那部情节很复杂的戏剧,而是听演员之间的有趣的对话的。定语从句的关系词中,只有whose可以放在名词前面做定语。故D正确。
考点:考察定语从句
点评:解答定语从句的关键是分析句子成分,如果定语从句中句子成分很完整就使用关系副词来引导;如果句子缺少主语,宾语,表语或者定语的时候就使用关系代词。同时也要注意一些关系词的特殊用法,尤其是that/as的特殊用法,既要注意普遍性,也要注意特殊性。特别关注:Whose是关系词中唯一的一个可以放在名词前面做定语的关系代词,如果缺少定语,用whose引导定语从句,或是of which the+名词/the+名词+of which。要特别注意which引导非限制性短语从句的用法。
Farming was once the chief way of life in nearly every country. People cannot live without food, and nearly all their food comes from crops and animals raised on farms. Not many people farm for a living any more, but farming remains the most important work in the world.
Before the nineteenth century, the typical American family lived on a small farm. They raised pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and planted corn, fruits, garden vegetables, and wheat. Everyone worked long and hard, but the results were often poor. Families barely harvested enough food for themselves. This situation began to change during the last half of the 1800's and it changed remarkably(明显地) in the next century.
Scientific methods and labor-saving machinery have made farming increasingly productive. The development of improved plant varieties and fertilizers has helped double and even triple the production of some major crops. More scientific animal care and animal raising have helped increase the amount of meat and products that animals produce. At the same time, the use of tractors and other modern farm equipment has sharply reduced the need for farm labor.
As farming has become less important as a way of life in the United States, it has become more important as a source which offers materials to industry. Today's successful farmers are experts not just in agriculture but also in accounting, marketing, and finance. Farms that are not run in a similar way have great difficulty surviving.
