‎ 名词性从句 I、重点难点解析 ‎ 名词性从句是历年高考的重点和难点也是热点。名词性从句相当于名词,可分别作主高考资源网句的主语、宾语、表语和同位语。因此,名词性从句可分为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位从句(见下表)。‎ 主语从句 做主语,用that,whether,what(=the thing that)等连接词(原疑问词)引导 宾语从句 做宾语,用that(可省略),if,whether(or not),what(=the thing which)等连接词(原疑问词)引导 表语从句 用that(一般不省略),whether,what(=the thing which)等连接词(原疑问词)引导 同位语从句 用that(常用在news,thought,idea等词后),whether等连接词(原疑问词)引导 一、主语从句 主语从句是在复合句中充当主语的从句,通常放在主句谓语动词之前或由形式主语it代替,而本身放在句子末尾。如:‎ ‎ Who will go is not important.‎ ‎ It doesn’t matter so much whether you will come or not.‎ ‎ That he suddenly fell ill last week made us surprised.‎ ‎1. It 作形式主语和it引导强调句的比较 It 作形式主语代替主语从句,主要是为了平衡句子结构,主语从句的连接词没有变化。而it引导的强调句则是对句子某一部分进行强调,无论强调的是什么成分,都可用连词that。被强调部分指人是也可用who/whom。例如:‎ ‎ It is a pity that you didn’t go to see the film.(主语从句)‎ ‎ It doesn’t interest me whether you succeed or not. (主语从句)‎ ‎ It is in the morning that the murder took place.(强调句)‎ ‎ It is John that broke the window. (强调句)‎ ‎2. 用it 作形式主语的结构:‎ ‎ 句型 ‎ 例子 ‎1‎ It is + 名词 + 从句 It is a fact that … 事实是… / It is an honor that …非常荣幸 It is common knowledge that …是常识 ‎2‎ It is + 形容词 + 从句 It is natural that… 很自然…/ It is strange that… 奇怪的是…‎ ‎3‎ It is + 不及物动词 + 从句 It seems that… 似乎…/ It happened that… 碰巧…‎ It appears that… 似乎…‎ ‎4‎ It + 过去分词 + 从句 It is reported that… 据报道…/ It has been proved that…已证实… ‎ It is said that… 据说… ‎ ‎3. 主语从句不可位于句首的五种情况: ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 情况说明 例句 ‎1‎ if 引导的主语从句不可居于复合句句首。‎ ‎ If he will come or not is unknown (误)‎ ‎. Whether he will come or not is unknown (正)‎ ‎2‎ It is said /reported…‎ It is said that Jiang will visit our school. (正)‎ 结构中的主语从句不可提前 Jiang will visit our school next week is said. (误)‎ ‎3‎ It happens/occurs…结构中的主语从句不可提前 It occurred to him that he failed in the examination. (正)‎ That he failed in the examination occurred to him. (误)‎ ‎4‎ It doesn’t matter how/whether …结构中的主语从句不可提前 It doesn’t matter whether he is wrong or not. (正)‎ Whether he is wrong or not doesn’t matter. (误)‎ ‎5‎ 含主语从句的复合句是疑问句时,主语从句不可提前 Is it likely that it will rain in the evening? (正)‎ Is that will rain in the evening likely? (误)‎ ‎ ‎ 二.宾语从句 宾语从句就是在复合句中作宾语的名词性从句,通常放在主句谓语动词 (及物动词) 或介词之后。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 情况说明 例句 ‎1‎ 作动词的宾语 由that引导的宾语从句(that 通常可以省略)‎ I heard (that) he joined the army.‎ 由what, whether (if),when, where 等引导的宾语从句 She did not know what had happened.‎ I wonder whether you can change this note for me.‎ 动词+间接宾语+宾语从句 She told me that she would accept my invitation.‎ ‎2‎ 作介词的宾语 Our success depends upon how well we can cooperate with one another.‎ ‎3‎ 作形容词的宾语 I am afraid (that) I’ve made a mistake.‎ ‎4‎ it 可以作为形式宾语 We heard it that she would get married next month.‎ ‎5‎ 否定的转移(若主句谓语动词为think, consider, suppose, believe, expect, fancy, guess, imagine等,其后的宾语从句若含有否定意义,一般要把否定词转移到主句谓语上,从句谓语用肯定式)‎ I don’t think this dress fits you well. 我认为这件衣服不适合你穿。‎ 注意:that 引导的从句常跟在下列形容词后作宾语:‎ anxious, aware, certain, confident, convinced, determined, glad, proud, surprised, worried, sorry, thankful, ashamed, disappointed, annoyed, pleased, hurt, satisfied, content 等。也可以将此类词后的that 从句的看作原因状语从句。 ‎ ‎ ‎ 三.表语从句 表语从句在复合句中作表语的名词性从句,放在系动词之后,一般结构是“主语+连系动词+表语从句”。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be, look, remain, seem等。引导表语从句的that常可省略。另外,常用的还有the reason is that… 和It is because 等结构。例如:‎ ‎1) The question is whether we can make good preparation in such a short time.‎ ‎2) This is why we can’t get the support of the people.‎ ‎3) But the fact remains that we are behind the other classes.‎ ‎4) The reason he is late for school is that he missed the early bus. ‎ 四.同位语从句 同位语从句就是在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从句。‎ 情况说明 例句 ‎1‎ 同位语从句的功能(一般由that引导)‎ 对于名词进一步解释,‎ The king’s decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people.‎ 说明名词的具体内容, ‎ The order that all the soldiers should stay still is given by the general. ‎ ‎2‎ 同位语从句在句子中的位置 有时可以不紧跟在它所说明的名词后面,被别的词隔开 He got the news from Mary that the sports meeting was put off.‎ 五.whether, if引导名词性从句的区别:‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 情况说明 例句 ‎1‎ 在句首引导主语从句时,只能用whether Whether we will go camping tomorrow depends on the weather.‎ ‎2‎ if不能引导表语从句 What the doctor really doubt is whether my mother will recover from the serious disease soon.‎ ‎3‎ if 不能引导介词后的宾语从句 Everything depends on whether we can make a plan that they will agree to.‎ ‎4‎ 如果宾语从句是否定句只能用if I asked Pave if he hadn’t decided what he would say at the meeting.‎ ‎5‎ discuss 后的宾语从句只能用whether引导 We discussed whether the medicine will cause side effect.‎ 注意:doubt 作“怀疑”解,后接宾语从句时,如主句是肯定的,宾语从句用whether 或if 引导;如主句是否定,宾语从句只能用that 引导。‎ ‎ (1) I doubt whether/ if he is fit for the job.‎ ‎ (2) I don’t doubt that he can do it very well.‎ II、实战演练 ‎ 用适当的连词填空:‎ ‎ 1.

Please keep quiet while (when) others are studying;‎ ‎(2) when除可指一段时间外,还可用来指一点时间,等于 “at the time”,也就是说when引出的时间状语从句中的谓语动词可以是终止性的,也可以延续性的。因此主句和从句的谓语可以是一般时,进行时,或完成时。‎ E.g. When I went into the lab, the teacher was doing an experiment.(when不能换成while)He often makes mistakes when he is speaking English.(when可换成while)‎ ‎(3) as常可与when,while通用,但强调“一边、一边”。E.g. As (when, while) I was walking down the street, I noticed a police car in front of number 37. ‎ ‎(4) when有时代替if,引导条件句,意为“如果”、“假如”‎ E.g. I’ll come when (if) I’m free.‎ ‎2、till, until引导时间状语短语或状语从句,用于否定句时,结构为not …until (till),主句谓语动词延续与非延续皆可,意为“直到…才…”。用于肯定句时,只与延续性动词连用,表示“到…为止”。E.g. They played volleyball until (till) it got dark./ They didn’t talk(延续性动词)until (till) the interpreter(译员)came./ He didn’t go to bed(非延续性动词)until (till) the his father came back.;until可以放在句首,till则不行,E.g. Until the last minute of the match we kept on playing./ Not until he finished his work did he go home.(倒装);till, until只用于时间,以下句子是错误的:We walked till the edge of the forest.(要用as far as或to)。‎ 二、地点状语从句 引导地点状语从句的连词是where 和wherever等。‎ E.g. Sit wherever you like.‎ ‎ Make a mark where you have a question.‎ 三、条件状语从句 ‎ 条件状语从句分真实性(有可能实现的事情)与非真实性(条件与事实相反或者在说话者看来不大可能实现的事情)条件句。引导条件状语从句的词(组)主要有if, unless, so (as) long as, on condition that, so (as) far as, if only ( = if )。注意:条件从句中的if 不能用whether替换。‎ ‎ E.g. If he is not in the office, he must be out for lunch.‎ ‎ You may borrow the book so long as you keep it clean.‎ ‎ So far as I know(据我所知), he will be away for three months.‎ ‎ You can go swimming on condition that ( = if ) you don’t go too far away from the river bank.‎ ‎ If he had come a few minutes earlier, he could have seen her.‎ 四、原因状语从句 ‎ because, since, as引导原因状语时注意使用上的区别:‎ ‎1.如果原因构成句子的最主要部分,一般用because ,因此because引导的从句往往放在句末。用why提问的句子,一定用because回答。‎ E.g. He had to stay at home yesterday because he was ill.;2.如原因已为人们所知,或不如句子的其他部分重要,就用as,或 since。since比as更正式些。as和since引导的从句一般放在句子的开头。‎ E.g. As you are tired, you had better rest./ Since everyone is here, now let’s begin. ‎ 五、结果状语从句 ‎ 结果状语从句是表示事态结果的从句,通常主句是原因,从句是结果。由so that (从句谓语一般没有情态动词), so … that, such … that等引导。 ‎ ‎ E.g. She was ill, so that she didn’t attend the meeting.‎ ‎ He was so excited that he could not say a word. ‎ ‎ She is such a good teacher that everyone admires her.‎ 六、目的状语从句 引导目的状语从句最常用的词(组)是so, so that(从句谓语常有情态动词), in order that, in case(以防,以免)等。‎ E.g. Speak clearly, so that they may understand you.‎ ‎ She has bought the book in order that she could follow the TV lessons.‎ ‎ He left early in case he should miss the train. w。‎ 七、让步状语从句 ‎ 让步状语从句可由although, though, as, even if (though), however, whatever, whether … or, no matter who (when, what, …) 等引导。注意:as引导的让步状语从句一般是倒装的。‎ ‎ E.g. Though he is a child, he knows a lot.‎ ‎ Child as he is, he knows a lot. w。w。 ‎ ‎ Whatever ( = No matter what ) you say, I’ll never change my mind.‎ 八、比较状语从句 ‎ 比较状语从句常用than, so (as) … as, the more … the more等引导。‎ ‎ E.g. I have made a lot more mistakes than you have.‎ ‎ He smokes cigarettes as expensive as he can afford.‎ ‎ The busier he is, the happier he feels.‎ 九、方式状语从句 ‎ 方式状语从句常由as, as if (though), the way, rather than等引导。‎ ‎ E.g. You must do the exercise as I show you.‎ ‎ He acted as if nothing had happened.‎ 十、使用状语从句时要注意的几个问题 ‎ 1、在时间和条件(有时也在方式、让步等)从句中,主句是一般将来时,从句通常用一般现在时表示将来。 ‎ ‎ E.g. We’ll go outing if it doesn’t rain tomorrow.‎ ‎ I’ll write to you as soon as I get to Shanghai.‎ ‎ 2、有些时间、地点、条件、方式或让步从句,如果从句的主语与主句主语一致(或虽不一致,是it),从句的谓语又包含动词be ,就可省略从句中的“主语 + be”部分。‎ ‎ E.g. When (he was) still a boy of ten, he had to work day and night.‎ ‎ If (you are) asked you may come in.‎ ‎ If (it is) necessary I’ll explain to you again.‎ ‎ 3、注意区分不同从句:引导的是什么从句,不仅要根据连词,还要根据句子结构和句意来判别。以where为例,能引导多种从句。‎ ‎ E.g. You are to find it where you left it.(地点状语从句)‎ ‎ Tell me the address where he lives.(定语从句,句中有先行词)‎ ‎ I don’t know where he came from.(宾语从句)‎ ‎ Where he has gone is not known yet.(主语从句)‎ ‎ This place is where they once hid.(表语从句)‎ ‎4、as作从属连词可引导多种状语从句。‎ ‎(1)as引导时间状语从句,意为“当…时”。例如:As (he was) a young man, he was a storekeeper and later a postmaster./ He sang as he worked. 高.考.资.源.网 ‎(2)as引导方式状语从句,意为“象…一样”。例如:We must do as the Party teaches us. ‎ ‎(3)as引导原因状语从句。意为“由于”,例如:As you are tired, you had better rest. ‎ ‎(4)as引导让步状语从句。意为“虽然”、“尽管”Child as he is, he can do it well. ( = Although he is a child, he can do it well.) 另外,as做为关系代词还可以引导定语从句,如:I have the same book as you.‎ II、实战演练 用适当的连词填空: ‎ ‎1. Dr. Bethune (白求恩) came to China __________ he was fifty.‎ ‎2. He began to work __________ he got there.‎ ‎3. Let's begin our meeting __________everyone is here.‎ ‎4. I like the English people, __________ I don't like their food.‎ ‎5. __________ you go in China, you can see smiling faces.‎ ‎6. He didn't come to the lecture, __________ he was very busy.‎ ‎7. __________we had enough time, we walked to the cinema.‎ ‎8. They will help you __________ you meet with difficulty.‎ ‎9. _________ we came to the university, we have learnt quite a lot.‎ ‎10.I didn't join them yesterday evening __________ I had to go to an important meeting.‎ ‎11. We would try to get a car __________we could all travel together more easily.‎ ‎12. She wouldn't forget her mother's birthday __________ she seldom wrote to her family.‎ ‎13.
