which特殊用法

大家都知道which引导定语从句时，在从句中主要作主语和宾语，若要作定语时，一般要用whose引导。

一般用法：

【which作主语】：

Did you see the letter which came today? 你看到今天来的那封信了吗？

【which作宾语】：

This is the book which I told you about. 这就是我跟你说过的那本书。

【whose作定语】：

We looked at the tower whose spire was golden. 我们望着塔尖是金黄色的那座塔。

(= We looked at the tower the spire of which was golden.)

典型题：

The latest model of this lap-top, ______ appearance remains unchanged, works much faster than the old one. （潍坊市二轮验收）

A. though

B. which

C. of which

D. whose

答案：D。考查非限制性定语从句。引导词在从句中作定语，因此选whose。

The latest model of this lap-top, whose appearance remains unchanged, works much faster than the old one.

= The latest model of this lap-top, the appearance of which remains unchanged, works much faster than the old one.
