Question

What we all know is that the old scientist, _______ life was hard in the past, still works very hard in his eighties.

A．for whom	B．for him
C．for whose	D．for which

Answer 1

A

試題分析：這是定語從句，因?yàn)閠hat引導(dǎo)的是表語從句，the old scientist still works very hard in his eighties.是主句，______life was hard in the past是定語從句，兩個(gè)句子中間缺少關(guān)系詞，him不能起連接的作用，故排除B；先行詞是the old scientist，which不能代替人，故排除D；如果用for whose，那么從句中就缺少主語，因?yàn)閒or whose life是介詞短語不能作主語，這里選for whom，life是從句的主語，故選A。
點(diǎn)評：本題較難。定語從句是英語語法中非常重要的內(nèi)容，在閱讀和理解過程中起著極其重要的作用。定語從句的考查關(guān)鍵在于定語從句的成分分析，需要考生有分析理解復(fù)雜的句子結(jié)構(gòu)的能力。

A. whom        B. that        C. whose            D. which
解析：C。句意：那人車壞了，大家都跑過去幫忙。
