题目内容
The ordinary house _________ we visited three days ago used to be the house of Victor Hugo, a well-known litterateur(文学家)
- A.what
- B.where
- C.to which
- D.不填
试题分析:句意:我们三年前参观的普通的房子过去是雨果住的,他是一位著名的文学家。这里we visited three days ago是定语从句,先行词是ordinary house,关系词在定语从句中作宾语,可以省略,what不能引导定语从句,where不能在从句中作宾语,which可以在从句中宾语,但是不能加to,故选D。
考点:考查定语从句的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。定语从句是英语语法中非常重要的内容,在阅读和理解过程中起着极其重要的作用。定语从句的考查关键在于定语从句的成分分析,需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力。
即学即练:The famous basketballer, ______ tried to make a comeback, attracted a lot of attention.
A. where B. when C. which D. who
解析:D。句意:先行词是 The famous basketballer(著名的篮球明星),故要用 who 来引导定语从句,因为其余三项均不用于指人。
The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in 1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born. Two years later in Holland , the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which comes true because many of the
programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV” and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as “ against human rights and civilization”.
