Answer 1

每题下划线那个为正确答案。
1.Scientists think that the continents __always where they __ today
A.aren't are B.aren't were C.weren't are D. weren't were
科学家们（现在）认为大陆板块（从前）不总是停留在它们今天所处的位置。（暗示大陆板块并非一成不变，也曾经有过大的位置上的变动。）对于时态题，你要做的事情是在翻译时将所有时间都翻译出来。如括号中所示。这种题型考查时态，现在湖北基本只出现在完成句子这一板块。另外自己的写作中也要注意。如果你不是湖北学生，要关注一下本省近三年高考真题再作分析。
2.We went through a period __communications were very difficult in rural areas.
A.which B.whose C.in which D.with which
我们曾度过一段农村通讯极其艰难的岁月。
此题考查定语从句。period是一个时间性名词，译为时期。其后是一个定语从句。需要我们寻找正确的引导词。不妨将空格后的全部还原为一个包含有先行词period的完整句子，即为：
Communications were very difficult inrural areas ____ a period.
那么这里要不要介词呢？如果要又要用哪一个呢？对，就是in. 这里的in a period 是介宾短语，充当时间状语。译为在一个时期。
3.Later in this chapter cases will be introduced to readers __consumer complaints have resulted in changes in the law.
A.where B.when C.who D. which
本章稍后将会向读者们介绍顾客的投诉最终导致了法律条文变更的一些案例。
此题同第2题一样也是考查定语从句的引导词。
Case是一个地点性名词(类似于situation, condition)译为情况，案例。
其后是一个定语从句。需要我们寻找正确的引导词。不妨将空格后的全部还原为一个包含有先行词cases的完整句子，即为：
Consumer complaints have resulted in changes in the law ___ cases.
当然，你可以看出这里的介词应该是in. in cases是介宾短语，充当地点状语，相当于where。译为在这些案例中。Case像这样的用法还有：
There are often cases in which/where science students sleep in English clasees.
经常有理科生在英语课上睡觉的情况。
4.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the jobs __the are being trained.
A.in which B. for which
学校本身也承认不是所有（来此学习的）孩子都会在他们正为之受训的工作领域中成功。
这道题目的关键点是介词的选择。这句话乍一看两答案均可。可是逻辑关系在背后起着作用。我们不妨一起来设想一下：这是一批培训学校，许多孩子们正在此接受培训，而不是正在一边工作一边受训，所以他们的目的是参加那些特定的工作。这样一来便是明显的目的状语。
5.The village has developed a lot ___ we learned farming two years ago
A.when B.which.C.thatD.where
我们两年前学习农业的那个村庄已经发生了巨变。
仍然是定语从句问题。
这道题目中定语从句的先行词是the village¸定语从句___ we learned farming two years ago与先行词远远分离，造成了一定难度。你将这整个长句分为丙句话可能感觉会简单一些。
1）The village has developed a lot
2) We learned farming two years ago ___ the village.
我想你应该想到填什么了。对，是in., in the village 共同充当地点状语。所以定语从句缺乏地点状语。我们选择关系副词where.
6.Occasions are quite rare ___ I have the time to spend a day with my kids.
A.who B.whichC.why D.when
我有空陪孩子们一天的状况真的是非常稀少。
occasion是一个时间性名词，译为情况，场合。
其后是一个定语从句。需要我们寻找正确的引导词。不妨将空格后的全部还原为一个包含有先行词occasion的完整句子，即为：
I have the time to spend a day with my kids ___ occasions.
当然，你可以看出这里的介词应该是in. in occasions是介宾短语，充当时间状语，相当于when。译为在这些情况/场合下。occasion像这样的用法还有：
There are often occasions in which/where money ruins a marriage.
经常有金钱撕掉一桩婚姻的情况。
7.For many cities in the world , there is no room to spread out further ___New York is an example.(请顺便翻译一下这一句）
A.for which B.in whichC.of which D.from which.
对于世界上的许多城市而言，他们没有空间进一度拓展了。纽约便是其中一例。
这里考查的是非限制性定语从句。先行词是many cities. 将原句分成两句话。
1） For many cities in the world , there is no room to spread out further.
2） New York is an example of them(those cities).
强调某人或者某物中的一个我们一般用介词of.或者也可以用among.
我觉得你的定语从句部分掌握得不是很好。如果你现在学的是人教版新课标教材，建议你认真学习一下必修一。相信你会受益的。
