高频考点四、语法
“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句
（1）基本构成
“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句中，常用的介词有in, for, to, with等，关系代词则使用which或whom而不能用that。

（2）关系代词前的介词选用的原则
“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句中介词的选用主要遵循以下三个原则。

1．一先：根据先行词与介词的搭配关系选择介词。

In front of my house, there is a tree, in which some birds are singing.
我的房子前面有一棵树，上面有鸟儿正在唱歌。

(in the tree在树上)
2．二谓：根据定语从句中的谓语动词与介词的搭配关系选择介词。

In the dark street, there wasn't a single person, to whom she could turn for help.(turn to sb. for help 向某人寻求帮助)
在漆黑的街上，她没有一个可以求助的人。

3．三意义：根据先行词、定语从句中的谓语动词共同的搭配关系或者说句子的意思来选择介词。

Wang Hong, with whom I went to the concert, enjoyed herself very much.
和我一起去音乐会的王红玩得非常高兴。

(go to the concert with sb.与某人一起去音乐会)
【名师点睛】
有些“动词＋介词”构成的短语动词，如look for， look after， call on等，用在定语从句中作谓语动词时不可拆开，也就是说其中的介词不能置于关系代词之前。

He has a little daughter， who is looked after by her grandma.
他有一个小女儿，由她的奶奶照顾着。

,该句中的look after是不可拆开的短语动词，after不可置于关系代词who之前。

（3）关系副词与“介词＋关系代词”的互换
引导定语从句的关系副词常可以和“介词＋关系代词(which)”互换。

I often think of the moment, when/at which I saw the UFO.
我常常想起我看见不明飞行物的那一刻。

The police searched the house where/in which the thief had stayed.
警察搜查了小偷待过的那个房子。

I don't know the reason why/for which the house is so dirty.
我不知道这栋房子为什么这么脏。

Ⅰ.阅读理解)

It may seem to be a hard task to trace W1 back the history of rap music, though you often see the informal music associated with P1 highly informal dance style. As far as the origin of rap music is concerned P2， most people agree that it is from Afro －American and Latino Street culture of New York City. Not only in this city but also in the surrounding areas there is the influence of African people and their culture.
Rap is a vocal (口头的) style in which the performer speaks rhythmically and in thyme, generally to a beat W2. The term of rap music is the same with hip­hop music typically－consisting of a rhythmic vocal style called rap. If we see it carefully, then we will definitely notice that the music usually is sung at higher pitches (调). Most of the time rap music is associated with chorus. Though rap music was primarily W3 an American music style with African influence over its music and lyrics, recently it has been spread to almost the entire world.
There is hardly any country or nation where rap music cannot be seen in some form or another, and it is one of the most popular music styles among the youngsters. However, when it comes to its history, it is believed that hip－hop or rap music started in the early 1970s, and gained much popularity throughout the world during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The history of rap music and hip－hop music is full of controversies (争议) and bans, as the lyrics sometimes relate to drugs and crime; even most famous pop stars and hip－hop musicians and singers were found to be associated with the controversies in their life. For that reason, no matter how popular this music style was or still is, it has always had a bad reputation in the eyes of mainstream W4 society.

Have you ever heard that we humans use only ten percent of our brains? This opinion holds a certain appeal W1 because if it were true, then we could instantly become ten times more intelligent just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!
The idea that we use only a small part of the brain dates back to P1 animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists stimulated (刺激) a specific W2 part of the brain, the animal moved its leg or tail. If a tiny part of the brain could do something so great, what was the use of the rest of the brain? Some scientists assumed W3 that large parts of the brain were simply useless.
Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain parts of the brain had no physical effects. They named these seemingly useless parts of the brain the “silent cortex”. Today we know that in humans, much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to P2 complex activities like language, learning, and imagining.
Brain scans have shown that different parts of the brain become much more active as we shift (切换) our attention and focus, but even as we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely W4 active. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity (能力)? Interestingly enough, the opposite W5 is probably true. The less brain activity you need to perform a given task, the more the brain
as a whole is able to do.

Ⅱ.七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?
Our society is fast paced. We are all rushing from one place to the next, blowing our horn at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights. We don't have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. __1__ Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak louder than words”？ Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered? I don't think so. __2__ It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug, pat on the back or smile.
__3__ What about the saying? True? Yes! Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down. Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind comment. __4__ Let's not be a member of that “club”. When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mate's coat pocket? If you want to see a bright smile, that will do it! The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years.
“I can live for two months on a good compliment (夸奖)”， said Mark Twain. Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood. __5__ A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to pr aise your child. “I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.”“Did you hang your coat up all by yourself？” It is amazing how those few words can change a child's outlook... almost immediately. Don't stop
there...One of my sisters ended a phone conversation with three words—“I love you”！Boy, that put a spring in my step! Mark Twain is right. I still feel the positive effect of those three little but very powerful words.
A．The pen is more powerful than the sword.
B．Is it really reasonable to do something like that?
C．Do they display the attitude that we want to convey?
D．It is important to have your words match your actions.
E．Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.
F．Those words did lasting damage to you, the relationship or both.
G．Don't be afraid to show your child with encouraging words all day long.
篇章导读：作者通过结合日常生活对“事实胜于雄辩”进行了新的阐释：“说”在我们的生活中也起着举足轻重的作用。

1．C 本题为“段尾空”，需关注上文前句。

根据上文说我们该思考我们的行动和语言了，那么接下来应该是提出问题。

因此选择C。

2．D 本题为“段中空”，需关注空前后句。

空前句说作者认为当言行不一致时，不应该只重视行动而忽视语言。

空后句说语言的表达是同等重要的。

那么该空的对象应该是行动和语言二者。

七个选项中，只有D可以满足这一条件，而且下文说在语言之后要跟着拥抱等行动，所以语言和行动应该匹配。

因此选择D。

3．A 本题为“段首空”，需关注后句。

根据下句的the saying可知，设空句为一句有含义的说法。

可能的选项有A(强调笔)，E(强调行动)，G(强调鼓励孩子)。

根据下文强调words 的重要性，以及“especially when they are written down”，可知A选项关键词pen和powerful最为符合。

故选A。

Ⅲ.语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Breakfast has been called the most important meal of the day. While every meal counts, the facts are on the table: Eating in the morning __1__ (have) positive effects on health and on kids' ability __2__ (learn)．
What's the nutritious breakfast? A meal consisting of foods from at least two of the five food groups is the __3__ (healthy), but the truth is __4__ a bite of nearly any food in the morning is better than none, especially when it comes to kids.
It's a good idea to get your child __5__ the habit of eating breakfast before he begins kindergarten. That's because teenagers __6__ eat breakfast tend to behave better in school. Hunger makes it harder to keep your mind __7__ (focus) on learning, no matter what your age. In fact, studies show breakfast skippers are often more bad －tempered and have __8__ (short) attention.
When you forget eating in the morning, blood glucose (血糖) drops. Glucose is the fuel your cells need to function, so brain cells become particularly lazy when glucose concentrations (浓度) are insufficient. Without adequate __9__ (energetic), young minds get gray, blocking concentration and memory. Without the morning meal, kids are hard－pressed to meet daily nutrient needs, too.
You are probably pressed for time in the morning, and __10__ are your children.
1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
4．that 考查表语从句。

从句中主系表成份齐全，句意完整，故用that。

5．into 考查固定搭配。

get sb. into the habit of (doing) sth.意为“使某人养成(做)某事的习惯”。

6．who/that 考查定语从句。

从句中缺少主语，且指人，故用that/who均可。

7．focused 考查非谓语动词作宾补。

“keep＋宾语＋宾补”结构，且mind与focus之。
