Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. He has just bought a new house in the city, but even since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners. When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what is was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. Jasper hopes that she will turn the cars and their owners to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

【Special Difficulties】

关系从句及关系代词

关系从句又可称为定语从句或形容词从句,它像形容词一样可以形容人、物及事件。关系从句可分为限定性关系从句(不带逗号)和非限定性关系从句(带逗号)。表示人的关系代词:who,whom,that,whose(口语中whom经常由who代替)

表示事物和动物的关系代词:which,that

关系代词可以有四个概念 :
① 代人的, 做主语或宾语who,只做宾语的whom
② 代物的, 做主语或宾语 which
③ 代人的也可以代物的 做主语或宾语 that
④ whose其代表的东西由其在句子中的成分决定(不一定指人)

关系代词后面要加从句,先行词放在定语从句前面, 而且是两句话共同含有的词, 还是被定语从句修饰的词I have a book that/which he likes.( “book” 为先行词 “that/which” 为关系代词)

关系代词有两个功能 : 一是承上, 一是启下(如上句中的 “book” 作从句的宾语)

The boy who is standing at the door is my brother.

I can do anything that I can do.

I have a house whose windows are broken.

关系代词在关系从句中作宾语时往往可以省略,作主语时则不可以。whose 后面一定要加一个名词, 然后这个部分共同做主语或宾语

The pilot whose plane landed in a field was not hurt.

Exersise(在需要的地方填上who, which, that或whose)

  1. The only games ______ I play are football and tennis.先行词如果用only, 序数词, 形容词最高级修饰, 其后边的关系词只用that
  2. This is the hotel at ______ we are staying.

    介词后加物的话, 只加which,加人的话, 用whom, 都不可用that,who也不能

  3. That is the horse ______ won the race.

    句子中用词避免重复, 句首已有了一个 “that” , 故选 “which” 而不是 “that”

    Who is the man that is helping you? 谁是那个正在帮助你的人?(不用“who”避免重复)

  4. He is the sort of person ______ everyone admires.

【Multiple choice questions】

  1. ___ b ___ of them has been turned to stone.

    a. No one b. Not one c. No d. Even one

    no 是形容词, 后加名词

    no one =nobody (“nobody” 指的是人, 它将 “cars” 排除了是不对的),不定代词后不用of
    可以用的有 : neither of/none of/both of/all of

    none of =not one of

  2. The signs haven't had any effect. They haven't a anyone.

    a. affected b. effected c. resulted in d. imposed

    effect n. 影响have effect 有效果

    affect v. 影响
