「评析」
从以上各题可以看出，定语从句的考查还是集中在关系词的选择，虽然也有关系词一般的用法，但更多的是对特殊关系词的考查。总的说来有以下几点需要注意：
① 关系词的使用：一看先行词，二看关系词在从句中的作用。关系词的选择依据在于从句中所作的成分，先行词在从句中作主、定、宾语时，选择关系代词（who, whom, that, which, whose）；先行词在从句中作状语时，应选择关系副词（where 地点状语，when 时间状语，why 原因状语），如3）和7）。
7）I will not forget the ten years______ we both spent in the little village.
A.when
B.during which
C.which
D.in which
答案：C
（虽然先行词时为表示时间的词汇the ten years，但是the ten yeas在后面的定语从句中作spent的宾语，因此应当用关系代词which来引导这个定语从句，而不是关系副词when.）
3）My vacation begins next Tuesday,______ I will leave for Florida.（1999.6）
A.which
B.that
C.while
D.when
答案：D
（先行词next Tuesday在后面的定语从句中作状语，因此应当用关系副词when来引导这个定语从句。）
在此基础上熟记几个常用的固定句式，如：
the same … as
such … as
当看到先行词前有the same 或such修饰时，可直接从选项中找as，选择就变得比较简单，这时用不着考虑先行词是人还是物。
② 关系词在句中作定语，应当用关系词whose，如2）：
2）The investigation______ will soon be published, was made by John.（1998.6）
A.at which the results B.the results on which
C.whose results D.at whose results.
答案：C
同学们应该熟悉关系词作定语时的各种变体，作定语的关系词可有以下变体，试比较：
the office whose windows are broken
the office the windows of which are broken
the office of which the windows are broken
上面的6）题就属于the windows of which这种形式：
6）A curve is a line______ no part is straight and which has no angle.
A.that B.whose C.in which D.of which
答案：D
先行词是人时，同样也可有这三种形式，如：
the professor whose car was stolen
the professor the car of whom was stolen
the professor of whom the car was stolen
③注意"介词 + which/whom"的结构作关系词
