B.thatC.where

D.what參考答案：C【詳解】考查定語從句關(guān)系詞。本題定語從句的先行詞是指代photo的代詞theone，定語從句的結(jié)構(gòu)很完整，要用關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)定語從句，并在句中做狀語。when的先行詞通常是指時間的名詞代詞，關(guān)系代詞that要在句中做主語、表語或者表語；而what不能引導(dǎo)定語從句，故C項(xiàng)正確?！军c(diǎn)睛】本題考查了關(guān)系代詞where引導(dǎo)的定語從句用法，在定語從句中,關(guān)系副詞where所指代的先行詞只能是表示地點(diǎn)的名詞嗎?先行詞不表示地點(diǎn)時,如何判斷是否使用Where引導(dǎo)定語從句。當(dāng)先行詞不是表示地點(diǎn)的名詞時,該如何判斷是否使用where引導(dǎo)定語從句呢?由上文給出的例句可知,含有抽象地點(diǎn)意義的名詞能用關(guān)系副詞where來引導(dǎo),并且在每個例句的點(diǎn)評中筆者都反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)“定語從句不缺主語和賓語,where在從句中充當(dāng)?shù)氖菭钫Z”。由此,我們可以大膽地進(jìn)行引申和歸納,提出“當(dāng)先行詞不表示地點(diǎn)時,使用where引導(dǎo)定語從句”的判斷方法。首先,判斷定語從句的結(jié)構(gòu):定語從句應(yīng)該不缺少主語和賓語,而是缺少狀語。其次,觀察先行詞:先行詞是除了時間名詞(在這種情況下會用when)和原因名詞(在這種情況下會用why)以外的其他任何名詞。第二個條件之所以成立,是因?yàn)槎ㄕZ從句中的狀語成分一般就是由when、where和why等三個引導(dǎo)詞來引導(dǎo)的。為了更深刻地理解這種判斷方法,請看以下幾個例句:1.Englishisa“fixed-word-order”languagewhereeachphrasehasafixedposition.英語是一種“詞序固定”的語言,這種語言的特點(diǎn)就是每個短語都有固定的位置。點(diǎn)評:首先,我們來判斷定語從句“eachphrasehasafixedposition”的結(jié)構(gòu):該從句并不缺少主語和賓語,但是缺少狀語。其次,我們來看先行詞:先行詞是fixed-word-orderlanguage,它既不表示時間,也不表示原因。由此可知,此處用where來指代先行詞,表示“在‘詞序固定’這樣的語言中”。2.AttheAcademy,Platotaughtthestudentsthroughtheuseofdebates,wheretwoormorepeopletookdifferentideasofanargument.在學(xué)院里,柏拉圖采用的教學(xué)方法是組織辯論,在辯論中,兩個或多個學(xué)生各持一方觀點(diǎn)。點(diǎn)評:首先,我們來判斷定語從句“twoormorepeopletookdifferentideasofanargument”的句子結(jié)構(gòu):該從句不缺少主語和賓語,但是缺少狀語。其次,我們來看先行詞:先行詞是debates,它既不是時間名詞,也不是原因名詞。由此可知,此處應(yīng)用where引導(dǎo)定語從句,表示“在辯論中”。3.However,beingenthusiasticisn’tforeveryoneandnoonelikesfalseenthusiasm,whereapersonpretendstobeexcitedevenaboutthemosttrivialpoints.然而,熱情并非適合每一個人,而且也沒有人喜歡那種連區(qū)區(qū)小事都假裝興奮不已的虛假熱情。點(diǎn)評:首先,我們判斷定語從句“apersonpretendstobeexcitedevenaboutthemosttrivialpoints”的句子結(jié)構(gòu):該從句不缺少主語和賓語,但是缺少狀語。其次,我們來看先行詞:先行詞是falseenthusiasm,它既不是時間名詞,也不是原因名詞。因而,此處用where來引導(dǎo)定語從句,表示“在‘虛假的熱情’這種狀態(tài)下”。通過對上面三個例句的點(diǎn)評,相信讀者已經(jīng)能夠掌握在先行詞不表示地點(diǎn)的情況下,如何判斷是否使用where來引導(dǎo)定語從句了。此外,我們需要仔細(xì)體會例句中where指代先行詞時所表達(dá)的含義,分別是“在……樣的語言中”“在……中”“在……樣的狀態(tài)下”,都帶有抽象的地點(diǎn)意義。6.Wegivedogstime,spaceandlovewecanspare,and______,dogsgiveustheirall.

3.設(shè)置語境，考查學(xué)生的分析推理能力。這類題主要是通過短文中上下語境所透露的信息進(jìn)行解題，首先要正確理解所給信息，在進(jìn)行合理分析和推斷，這種語境信息一定要遵循邏輯。第13小題。根據(jù)空后的“Icouldn'tevenliftafingeratthattime”可知，那個時候，甚至邊一個手指都動不了。可知“我的身體已經(jīng)陷入了徹底的癱瘓（paralyzed），脖子以下都不能活動”。分析選項(xiàng)（A.shortened縮短；B.influenced影響；C.paralyzed癱瘓；D.linked連接）可知，C符合題意，故選C。

4.注意固定搭配。這類題與語法結(jié)構(gòu)題有點(diǎn)類似，但主要慣用搭配，講究詞與詞的搭配，涉及到關(guān)聯(lián)詞、動詞、副詞、形容詞、名詞和短語等。21.閱讀下面短文.從短文后各題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A、B.C和D）中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。In1990areportwaspublishedaboutwhattheearthmightbelike20yearsfromthenon.Thereportwasaresultofathree-year
