名詞性從句包括主語(yǔ)從句、賓語(yǔ)從句、表語(yǔ)從句和同位語(yǔ)從句。其用法復(fù)雜,考查面廣、量大,是同學(xué)們頗感棘手的語(yǔ)法項(xiàng)目,也是歷年來(lái)高考的重點(diǎn)之一。現(xiàn)在讓我們走近名詞性從句,剖析其考查熱點(diǎn),探索其命題規(guī)律。
一、考查名詞性從句的語(yǔ)序
不管主句的語(yǔ)氣如何,名詞性從句總是使用陳述語(yǔ)序。

No one can be sure ________ in a million years.
A. what man will look like
B. what will man look like
C. man will look like what
D. what look will man like
答案是A。
二、 考查it作形式主語(yǔ)的用法
英語(yǔ)中為了使句子保持平衡,常用先行詞it代替主語(yǔ)從句,而把主語(yǔ)從句放到句子的后面。

________ is a fact that English is being accepted as an international language.
A. There B. This
C. That D. It
答案是D。
三、 考查關(guān)聯(lián)詞的正確選用
這是近幾年高考的重中之重。解決這一問(wèn)題可以從以下幾點(diǎn)入手:
1.依據(jù)"缺什么補(bǔ)什么"的原則確定正確的連詞
認(rèn)真分析句子成分,看從句中缺什么成分,再根據(jù)語(yǔ)境和語(yǔ)義,選用恰當(dāng)?shù)倪B詞。如果從句中缺少主語(yǔ),指人用who,指物則用what;如缺賓語(yǔ),指人用whom,指物用what;如缺時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)用when;地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)用where;原因狀語(yǔ)用why;方式狀語(yǔ)用how;定語(yǔ)用what或which;如果從句中什么成分都不缺,用that。例如:
I don't know who will be our English teacher next term.(缺主語(yǔ),指人用who)
I know what should be done and what shouldn't be done.(缺主語(yǔ),指物用what)
I'm sure that he will come tomorrow.(什么成分都不缺,用that)
Where he will go is still unknown.(缺地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ),用where)
I don't know which / what topic I should choose.(缺定語(yǔ),用what或which)

-I drove to Zhuhai for the air show last week.
-Is that ________ you had a few days off?
A. why B. when
C. what D. where
答案是A。
2.注意幾組易混連詞的使用
1) what與that
這是高考測(cè)試的一對(duì)熱點(diǎn)連詞,同學(xué)們一定要將其掌握。that引導(dǎo)名詞性從句時(shí)僅起連接作用,不作句子任何成分,除在賓語(yǔ)從句中外一般不可省略;what引導(dǎo)名詞性從句時(shí),除起連接作用外,還在句子中擔(dān)任主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)等句子成分。
[原題再現(xiàn)]
________ he said is true.
A. What B. That
C. Which D. Whether
答案是A。
2) whether與if
whether與if在引導(dǎo)動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)從句時(shí),兩者一般可以互換,但在引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句、表語(yǔ)從句、同位語(yǔ)從句以及作介詞賓語(yǔ)的賓語(yǔ)從句或后面直接跟or not時(shí),只能用whether。
[原題再現(xiàn)]
________ we'll go camping tomorrow depends on the weather.
A. If B. Whether C. That D. Where
答案是B 。
3) "wh-+ever"與"wh-""wh-+ever"引起的名詞性從句不含疑問(wèn)意義,相當(dāng)于名詞/代詞后加一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句;而"wh-"如what, which, who, whom, when, where等除與前一種從句有相同的含義之外,還都有疑問(wèn)意義。
[原題再現(xiàn)]
① Eat ________ cake you like and leave the others for ________ comes in late.
A. any; who B. every; whoever
C. whichever; whoever D. either; whoever
② ________ has helped to save the drowning girl is worth praising.
A. Who B. The one C. Anyone D. Whoever
③ It's a matter of ________ would take the position.
A. who B. whoever C. whom D. whomever
答案分別是C D A。
3.同位語(yǔ)從句與定語(yǔ)從句的區(qū)別
同位語(yǔ)從句和定語(yǔ)從句都跟在名詞后,極易為某些同學(xué)混淆。同位語(yǔ)從句是用來(lái)對(duì)前面的名詞解釋說(shuō)明的,而定語(yǔ)從句是用來(lái)對(duì)先行詞加以限制的;引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句的that在從句中不作任何成分,而引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句的關(guān)系代詞that則在定語(yǔ)從句中擔(dān)任主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)。
[原題再現(xiàn)]

A. which B. what C. whatever D. that
② Information has been put forward ________ more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities.
A. while B. that C. when D. as
答案分別是DB。第①題是定語(yǔ)從句,第②題是同位語(yǔ)從句。
