【2011江苏卷）24】Between the two parts of the concert is an interval, _______ the audience can buy ice-cream.

A. when

B. where

C. that

D. which

【答案】A

【考点】考查定语从句。

【解析】句意：音乐会的两大构成部分中间有幕间休息时间，在这段时间里观众可以去买冰激凌。When引导的定语从句修饰an interval，when在从句中作时间状语。首先解析句子结构，判断从句类型，题干说“在音乐会中间有间歇，此时你可以买冰激凌。”题干的前半部分完整无缺，后半部分补充说明这个间歇你可以干的事，所以这是一个非限定性定语从句，先行词为interval，非限定性定语从句的功能就是对先行词进行补充说明。由于从句部分不缺少主干成分，而且interval表时间，所以正确答案为A．

【2011安徽卷）28】Whatever is left over may be put into the refrigerator, _____ it will keep for two or three weeks.

【解析】句意为：剩下的任何东西都可以放入冰箱，在那里可以保存两三周。本题考查非限制性定语从句的关系副词。由句型结构可以看出，该题中的先行词refrigerator在从句中作介词的宾语，该介宾结构在定语从句中作地点状语，故选择关系副词where。when在从句中

作时间状语；which在从句中作主语或宾语；while是连词，不能用于定语从句。
