‎2019届二轮语法复习专题十二名词性从句 名词性从句是英语中比较复杂的结构，既涉及词汇的用法，也涉及句法结构，是历年高考的必考语法项目，考点主要集中在名词性从句的连接词上。在学习名词性从句时，应注意从以下几个方面入手：‎ ‎1．掌握名词性从句的连接词的分类及用法(注意that，if，whether的用法区别)；‎ ‎2．注意名词性从句中的特殊情况(that的省略、语序、时态和语气问题)；‎ ‎3．注意疑问连接词what，when，where等引导名词性从句不表示疑问时的情况；‎ ‎4．注意it作形式主语、形式宾语时的从句结构。‎ 主 语 从 句 在复合句中起主语作用的从句称为主语从句。引导主语从句的连接词主要有三类：从属连词、连接代词和连接副词。‎ ‎1．that引导的主语从句 that引导主语从句时，在从句中不作任何成分，也没有实际意义。一般情况下that不可省略。‎ That you don’t like him is none of my business.‎ 你不喜欢他不关我的事。‎ 注意下面it作形式主语，含有that的几种结构：It is clear/certain/likely/true/surprising that...；It is a pity/a shame/a good idea/no wonder that...；It is said/reported/believed/known/ thought/suggested that...；It seems/happens that...。‎ ‎2．wh类连接词引导的主语从句 wh类连接词包括连接代词who，whom，whose，what，whoever，whomever，whatever等和连接副词when，where，how，why，whenever，wherever，however等。‎ Where we can look up his address is still a problem.‎ 我们在哪儿可以查到他的地址还是个问题。‎ Why he did that wasn’t quite clear.‎ 他为什么做那件事还不十分清楚。‎ ‎3．what与that引导主语从句的区别 what引导主语从句时，表示“所……的(东西)”，并且在从句中充当句子成分；而that作为连词，引导主语从句时，其本身没有实际意义，不充当句子成分，通常不可省略。‎ What she was afraid of was their taking her daughter abroad.‎ 她害怕的是他们带她女儿出国。‎ That he will refuse the offer is unlikely.‎ 他不可能拒绝这个报价。‎ ‎[即学即练]‎ 单句语法填空 ‎1．________ the college will take in more new students this year is true.‎ 解析：That　句意：今年这所大学将招收更多新生，这个消息是真的。that引导主语从句，不充当句子成分，只起连接作用。‎ ‎2．It is obvious ________ you’ve made a big mistake.‎ 解析：that　句意：很明显你犯了一个大错。此句中“It”是形式主语，真正的主语是主语从句that you’ve made a big mistake。‎ ‎3．________ he can finish his task on time is of great importance.‎ 解析：Whether　句意：他能否按时完成任务非常重要。whether意为“是否”，此处引导主语从句。‎ ‎4．________ reason you may give for the unfinished homework will not be considered.‎ 解析：Whatever　考查名词性从句。根据句子结构可知此处考查主语从句，此处Whatever作定语修饰reason，“Whatever reason”作主语从句的宾语。句意：对于你未完成的家庭作业，无论你给出什么样的理由都是不予考虑的。whatever可以引导让步状语从句和名词性从句，而no matter what不可以引导名词性从句。‎ 宾 语 从 句 在句子中起宾语作用的从句称为宾语从句。宾语从句常跟在动词、介词等后，从句的语序用陈述语序。宾语从句的连接词主要有三类：从属连词、连接代词和连接副词。‎ 一．作动词的宾语 ‎1．大部分宾语从句直接跟在动词后 He doesn’t know where the post office is.‎ 他不知道邮局在哪里。‎ ‎2．有些宾语从句前要有间接宾语 He told me what I should read.‎ 他已告诉我应该读些什么。‎ ‎3．如果在动词find，feel，think，consider take(认为)，make，believe，guess，suppose 等后面还有宾语补足语时，需用it作形式宾语而将that引导的宾语从句后置。‎ I thought it strange that he failed to call me.‎ 我觉得奇怪：他没给我打电话。‎ ‎4．在think，believe，suppose，expect等动词之后的宾语从句中，如果从句谓语是否定含义，则不用否定形式，而将主句谓语动词think等变为否定形式：‎ I don’t think you are right.‎ 我想你是不对的。‎ ‎5．在think，believe，imagine，suppose，guess，hope等动词以及I’m afraid等后，可用so代替一个肯定的宾语从句，还可用not代替一个否定的宾语从句：‎ Do you believe it will clear up?‎ 你以为天气会转晴吗？‎ I believe so.‎ 我认为会这样。‎ I don’t believe so.(或I believe not.)我认为不会这样。‎ 二．作介词的宾语 Did she say anything about how we should do the work?‎ 关于这工作我们该怎么做，她说什么没有？‎ ‎1．that引导的宾语从句只有在except，in，but，besides等少数介词后偶尔可能用到：‎ Your article is all right except that it is too long.‎ 你的文章挺好，只是太长了。‎ ‎2．有时在介词和其宾语从句的中间加形式宾语it：‎ I’ll see to it that everything is ready.‎ 我将负责把一切准备好。‎ ‎3．介词的宾语从句不能由if引导，而要用whether。‎ I don’t care about whether he will come.‎ 我不在乎他来还是不来。‎ 三．作形容词的宾语 在某些形容词(如afraid恐怕，sure确信，certain肯定，confident相信等)作表语时，可接一个that引导的宾语从句(也有人认为是状语从句)‎ I’m afraid (that) I have made a mistake.‎ 恐怕我犯了一个错误。‎ ‎[即学即练]‎ 单句语法填空/单句改错 ‎5．He suggested ________ we should clean the house every day.‎ 解析：that　句意：他建议我们每天打扫房间。此处是一个宾语从句，既可以用that引导，也可以省略that。但由语法填空的题目要求可知此处不能不填。‎ ‎6．He will give ________ needs help a warm support.‎ 解析：whoever　此处表示他会热心帮助任何需要帮助的人。结合句意可知此处应用whoever引导宾语从句，并在从句中作主语。‎ ‎7．Women usually read newspapers just for that they are interested in，such as fashion and entertainment news.‎ 解析：that→what　what引导宾语从句且在从句中作宾语。句意：女士们通常只是为了她们感兴趣的东西而读报纸，比如时尚和娱乐新闻。‎ 表 语 从 句 在复合句中作表语的从句叫作表语从句。表语从句在系动词之后，从句的语序用陈述语序。‎ ‎1．that引导的表语从句 My suggestion is that you go there on foot.‎ 我的建议是你步行去那儿。‎ ‎2．whether 引导的表语从句 The question remains whether they will be able to help us.‎ 问题仍然是他们能否帮我们。‎ ‎3．wh类连接词引导的表语从句 wh类连接词包括连接代词who，whom，whose，what，which，whoever，whatever，whichever等和连词副词where，when，how，why，wherever，whenever等。‎ This is where our problem lies.‎ 这就是我们的问题所在。‎ ‎4．as if/as though引导的表语从句 此类表语从句常跟在特定动词后面，如seem，appear，look，taste，sound，feel等。‎ ‎5．because 引导的表语从句 That is because he failed to pass the exam.‎ 那是因为他未能通过考试。‎ ‎[即学即练]‎ 单句语法填空 ‎8．The reason for his absence is ________ he hasn’t been informed.‎ 解析：that　句意：他缺席的原因是他没接到通知。that引导表语从句。‎ ‎9．It sounds ________ someone is knocking at the door.‎ 解析：as if/though　句意：听上去好像有人在敲门。as if/though 引导表语从句，表示“好像”。‎ ‎10．Why not try your luck downtown，Bob？That’s ________ the best jobs are.‎ 解析：where　此处where引导表语从句，意为“在……的地方”。句意：Bob，为什么不在市中心碰碰运气呢？那是最好的工作的所在之处。‎ ‎11．The problem is ________ we can get to replace her.‎ 解析：who/whom　句意：问题是我们能让谁去替换她。who/whom一方面引导表语从句，另一方面又在从句中作宾语。‎ 同 位 语 从 句 同位语从句在句子中作某一名词的同位语，一般位于该名词之后，说明该名词的具体内容。这些名词常见的有：‎ belief(信任)，possibility(可能性)，fact(事实)，idea(想法)，hope(希望)，doubt(怀疑)，news(新闻)，conclusion(总结)，suggestion(建议)，problem(问题)，order(命令)，answer(回答)，decision(决定)，discovery(发现)，explanation(解释)，information(信息)，knowledge(知识)，opinion(观点)，truth(事实)，promise(诺言)，report(报道)，thought(想法)等。‎ 引导同位语从句的词有that，what，whether，how，when，where等。‎ The question where we shall have a meeting hasn’t been answered.‎ 我们到什么地方去开会这个问题还没有人回答。‎ ‎[即学即练]‎ 单句语法填空/单句改错 ‎12．The suggestion ________ we should spend more time with children is supported by most mothers and teachers.‎ 解析：that　考查同位语从句。根据语境可知“we should spend more time with children”是对“The suggestion”的补充说明，且从句中不缺成分，故用that。‎ ‎13．The student asked me the question ________ the book was worth reading.‎ 解析：whether　句意：学生问了我这本书是否值得一读这个问题。此处要根据句子的意思作出正确判断。‎ ‎14．I want to express my hope which all the young fellows can make full use of time，because time waits for no man.‎ 解析：which→that　句意：我希望所有的年轻朋友们能充分利用时间，因为时间不等人。分析句子结构可知，此处应用that引导同位语从句。which一般不用于引导同位语从句，尤其是在无实在意义时。‎ 名词性从句的易混辨析 ‎1．that 和what的区别 that引导名词性从句时，在从句中不充当任何句子成分，也没有任何含义；而what引导名词性从句时，在从句中要充当一定的句子成分，what可以分解成定语从句中的“先行词＋关系代词”，即常说的“先行词＋that”＝the person(s)/thing(s)/place that。‎ ‎[即学即练]‎ 单句语法填空 ‎15．(2015·安徽卷)A ship in harbor is safe，but that’s not ________ships are built for.‎ 解析：what　句意：在港口的船是安全的，但是那并不是船被建造的目的。“________ships are built for”为表语从句，该从句中缺少宾语且表示“事物”，故答案为what。‎ ‎16．(2015·北京卷)I truly believe________beauty comes from within.‎ 解析：that句意：我确信美丽源自内在。“________beauty comes from within”为宾语从句，该从句结构完整，故用that。‎ ‎2．whether和if的区别 ‎(1)whether 和if在宾语从句中可以互换，但是从句作介词的宾语时连接词一般只能用whether。‎ ‎(2)两者后面都可加or not，但whether可直接与or not连用。‎ ‎(3)if/whether 引导主语从句时，whether 引导的主语从句可置于句首，但if引导的主语从句不能置于句首，只能放句末。引导表语从句一般只能用whether。‎ ‎(4)whether 可以引导同位语从句，用以解释说明前面的名词的内容，但if不能。‎ ‎(5)whether可与动词不定式连用，但if不能。‎ ‎(6)whether 可引导让步状语从句表示“不管……(还是)”，而if不能。‎ ‎[即学即练]‎ 单句语法填空 ‎17．It doesn’t matter ________ you pay by cash or credit card in this store.‎ 解析：whether　句意为：在这个商店，无论你用现金付款还是用信用卡付款，都没有关系。It为形式主语，真正的主语是主语从句“________ you pay by cash or credit card in this store”，根据空格后的or及语境可知，应填whether。“whether...or...”为常用句式，意为“无论是……还是……，不管是……还是……”。‎ ‎3．同位语从句和定语从句的区别 ‎(1)从意义的角度来看 同位语从句是名词从句，其作用相当于一个名词，是对前面的名词作进一步解释；定语从句是形容词从句，其作用相当于一个形容词，是用来修饰前面的名词或代词。‎ We heard the news that he had told her.‎ 我们听到他对她说的消息。(定语从语)‎ We heard the news that he had won the game.‎ 我们听到消息说他赢得了比赛。(同位语从句)‎ ‎(2)从语法的角度来看 引导同位语从句的that是连词，只起语法作用，用来连接同位语从句，在从句中不作任何成分；而引导定语从句的that是关系代词，它除了起引导从句的语法作用外，还要在从句中充当句子成分，主要作主语、宾语或表语。‎ A plane is a machine that can fly.‎ 飞机是一种能飞的机器。‎ ‎(that在从句中充当句子成分，作从句的主语，故为定语从句)‎ The fact that they didn’t finish the work has to be faced.必须面对事实，他们没有完成工作。‎ ‎(that只起连接作用，引导从句解释fact的内容，不作任何句子成分，故为同位语从句。)‎ ‎(3)从可否省略上来看 引导定语从句的关联词在从句中作宾语或状语时，可以省略或被其他词代替；而同位语从句的引导词一般不能省略，更不能被代替。‎ The news that she heard is true.‎ 她听到的消息是真的。(定语从句，that可省略)‎ The news that she will go abroad is true.‎ 她将出国这个消息是真的。(同位语从句，that不可省)‎ ‎[即学即练]‎ 单句语法填空 ‎18．Everywhere，even in the Antarctic，there are signs ________ the earth is getting warmer.‎ 解析：that　signs后的同位语从句结构完整，不缺少成分，故空格处用that引导，且不能省略。‎ ‎19．(2016·天津卷)The manager put forward a suggestion ________ we should have an assistant.There is too much work to do.‎ 解析：that　句意：经理提出了一条建议，我们应该有个助手。有太多的工作要做。suggestion后是同位语从句，从句的结构和意义均完整，故用that引导。‎ 高考对名词性从句的考查主要是语序问题、连接词的选用及有关名词性从句常见的句型等问题。考查要点为：‎ what，that引导名词性从句的区别；whether，if引导名词性从句的区别；名词性从句与定语从句、状语从句的区别；it 作形式主语、形式宾语的情况及名词性从句中的虚拟语气。所以我们在复习过程中，要对高考的常考点加以重视。‎ 名词性从句 主语从句 表语从句 宾语从句 同位语从句 引导名词性从句的词有：从属连词that/whether/if；连接代词what/whatever/which/whichever/who/whoever/whom/whomever/whose/whosever等；连接副词when/where/how/why等。‎ 解答名词性从句试题的步骤：‎ 第一步：弄清句子结构，再查看考查的是哪一种从句。‎ 名词性从句在句子中是作主语、宾语、表语、同位语。‎ 第二步：知道是什么从句后，再确定相应的关系词。‎ ‎1．如果从句是一个陈述句，用that来引导，that在从句中不作任何成分。‎ 注意：引导宾语从句的that在有些情况下可以省略，其他则不可；and连接的几个从句，第二个从句以后的从句的引导词that不省略。‎ ‎2．如果从句是表示一般疑问句或选择疑问句时，用whether/if引导。‎ 注意：只能用whether的四种情况：主语从句(句子开头)，表语从句、介词后、有or not...‎ 如果宾语从句是否定结构，则用if而不用whether引导。3.如果从句是对应的特殊疑问句，就用相应的特殊疑问词作从句的关系词。‎ ‎(1)从句中缺少主语、动词宾语、介词宾语、be后面的表语，用what泛指事，who/whom指人。‎ ‎(2)从句中缺少状语(或对相应从句中的时间、地点、原因、方式进行提问)用where，when，why，how。‎ ‎4．引导表语从句的as if，as though(似乎，好像)，在从句中也不作成分，常跟在特定动词后面，如seem，appear，look，taste，sound，feel等。‎ 注意：(1)that，what，which在名词性从句和其他从句中的区别 that：名词性从句中that不作成分；定语从句中that一定是从句的主语或宾语。‎ what：名词性从句中引导缺少主语或宾语的句子。定语从句中没有what这一关系词。‎ which：名词性从句中“which＋名词”作关系词，表示哪一个，作名词的定语。定语从句中which是从句的主语或宾语。‎ ‎(2)what—whatever，who—whoever，which—whichever的区别 what在名词性从句中有泛指一些事情或提问、询问的意思。‎ whatever指“任何事物”，在定语从句中相当于anything that...‎ who在名词性从句中有提问、询问的意思。‎ whoever强调任何一个人，相当于定语从句中的anyone who。‎ which表示哪一个(询问的意思)。‎ whichever表示无论哪一个(肯定和绝对的语气)。‎ 单句语法填空/单句改错 ‎1．(2017·天津卷)She asked me ________ I had returned the books to the library，and I admitted that I hadn’t.‎ 解析：whether　考查宾语从句连接词。根据句意：“她问我我是否已经把那些书归还给了图书馆，我承认我还没有归还(那些书)”可知，用whether。‎ ‎2．(2017·北京卷)Every year，________ makes the most beautiful kite will win a prize in the Kite Festival.‎ 解析：whoever　考查名词性从句。句意：每年，无论是谁制作的风筝最漂亮，他都会在风筝节上获奖。空白处在主语从句中作主语，且指人，故用whoever。‎ ‎3．(2017·北京卷)Jane moved aimlessly down the treelined street，not knowing ________ she was heading.‎ 解析：where　句意：简在两边树木林立的大街上漫无目的地走着，不知道该往哪里去。伴随状语not knowing...中包含一个宾语从句，从句的谓语动词为不及物动词head，故从句中缺少状语，再结合句意可知答案为where。‎ ‎4．(2017·江苏卷)We choose this hotel because the price for a night here is down to $20，half of ________ it used to charge.‎ 解析：what　考查名词性从句。句意：我们选择这家旅馆是因为价格低至20美元每晚，是原来收费的一半。charge为及物动词，缺少宾语，故用what。‎ ‎5．(2016·全国卷Ⅰ)My uncle is the owner of a restaurant close to that I live.‎ 解析：that→where　由句子结构可知，介词to之后为宾语从句。从句谓语是不及物动词live。故用where引导。‎ ‎6．(2016·全国卷Ⅰ)We now realize ________ important family is and how important to be near them，especially when you’re raising children.‎ 解析：how　考查宾语从句的连接词。根据后面的how important可以看出此处也是填how。‎ ‎7．(2016·全国卷Ⅱ)The summer holiday is coming.My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the

Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.‎ 解析：what　考查名词性从句，引导词在从句中作had done的宾语，故用what。‎ ‎10．(2016·北京卷)Your support is important to our work. ________ you can do helps.‎ 解析：Whatever　句意：你的支持对于我们的工作很重要，不管你做什么都能帮助我们。分析句子成分可知，本空需要连接代词whatever 引导主语从句并在从句中作do的宾语。‎ Ⅰ.单句语法填空/单句改错 ‎1．(2018·唐山调研)I asked him ________ his father had done so that he became such a good person.‎ 解析：what　句意：我问他他的父亲做了什么以至于他成为如此优秀的人。宾语从句中缺少宾语，且设空处指“事物”，故填what。‎ ‎2．(2018·山东师大附中模拟)My first task was to decide where to go and ________ to get there.‎ 解析：how　句意：我的第一项任务是决定去哪里及如何到达那里。根据常识可知设空处表示“如何”，故填how。‎ ‎3．(2018·全国名校联盟百校大联考)The reason is why smartphones nowadays can be used for people to keep in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat.‎

解析：what→that　这里应该用that引导表语从句，因为连接词在从句中没有充当任何成分，只起连接作用表陈述。‎ ‎5．(2018·吉安一中测试)At home，children can do that they want.‎ 解析：that→what　这里应该用连接代词what引导宾语从句并在从句中作宾语。‎ ‎6．(2018·湖北四地七校联考)Recently the students in our class have had a heated discussion on if people should keep pets at home in cities.‎ 解析：if→whether　if和whether都可以表示“是否”，但是介词后面只能用whether引导宾语从句。故将if改成whether。‎ ‎7．(2018·山东实验中学模拟)She has received an offer from Berkeley，but I don’t know ‎ ________ she will accept it.‎ 解析：whether/if　句意：她收到了伯克利大学的录取通知，但我不知道她是否会接受。空处引导宾语从句，意为“是否”，故填whether或if。‎ ‎8．(2018·陕西西工大附中模拟)Sarah hopes to become a friend of ________ shares her interests.‎ 解析：whoever　句意：萨拉希望同和她有共同兴趣的人交朋友。介词of后接宾语从句，宾语从句中缺少主语，指人，故填whoever，相当于anyone who。‎ ‎9．(2018·永州模拟)The ‎4G cell phone must be of great use and convenience to ________
