考點一 考查關係代詞whose引導的定語從句
1. A person ________ e-mail account is full won’t be able to send or receive any e-mails. (天津卷)
A. who B. whom C. whose D. whoever
【解析】C。在所給的四個關係代詞中，只有whose能用於名詞用作定語，故選C。又如：A bookseller is a person whose job is selling books. 書商就是其職業是賣書的人。
2. Many children, ________ parents are away working in big cities, are taken good care of in the village. (安徽卷)
A. their B. whose C. of them D. with whom
【解析】B。their是物主代詞，不是關係代詞，不能引導定語從句，所以不能選;在其餘三個選項中，只有whose能用於名詞用作定語，故選B。句意爲：許多孩子的父母外出到大城市打工去了，他們在家鄉被照顧得很好。
3. I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, a city ________ name will create a picture of beautiful trees and green grass in our mind. (湖南卷)
A. which B. of which C. that D. whose
【解析】D。在所給定的四個關係代詞中，只有which和whose能用於名詞用作定語，故可排除B和C。而關係代詞which和whose用於名詞前作定語的區別是：which具有that或this的語義特徵，而whose則具有one’s的'語義特徵。
考點二 考查關係代詞which引導的定語從句
1. They’ve won their last three matches, ________ I find a bit surprising. (遼寧卷)
A. that B. when C. what D. which
【解析】D。that不用於引導非限制性定語從句，故被排除;when可引導非限制性定語從句，但只用於指時間，與句意不符，故也被排除;而what不是關係代詞，不能用於引導定語從句，故也被排除;which在此引導非限制性定語從句，並在定語從句中充當動詞find的賓語。句意爲：他們贏了最後三場比賽，我發現這有點令人吃驚。
2. My friend showed me round the town, ________ was very kind of him. (全國Ⅱ)
A. which B. that C. where D. it
【解析】A。由於兩個句子之間沒有並列連詞，所以不能選B或D;而where是關係副詞，不能用作主語;which在此引導非限制性定語從句，並在從句中用作主語。又如：Peter drove too fast, which was dangerous. 彼得開車很快，這是很危險的。
3. Whenever I met her, ________ was fairly often, she greeted me with a sweet smile. (山東卷)
A. who B. which C. when D. that
【解析】B。that不能用於引導非限制性定語從句，故可排除;when是關係副詞，不用作主語，故也可排除;who用於指人，但這裏的定語從句不是修飾her，而是修飾whenever I met her，故不能用who，此處應用which。又如：He said that he had never seen her before, which was not true. 他說他從沒見到過她，這是不真實的。
