The sky and the earth were at first one blurred entity(混沌整体) like an egg. Then Pangu was born into it. The separation of the sky and the earth took eighteen thousand years. The yang which was light and pure rose to bee the sky，and the yin which was heavy and murky(黑暗的)sank to form the earth. Between them was Pangu, who went through nine changes every day, his wisdom greater than that of the sky and his ability greater than that of the earth. Every day the sky rose ten feet higher, the earth became ten feet thicker, and Pangu grew ten feet taller. Another eighteen thousand years passed, and there was an extremely high sky, an extremely thick earth, and an extremely

tall Pangu. After Pangu died, his head turned into the Five Sacred Mountains(Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Mount Hua, Mount Heng, Mount Song), his eyes turned into the moon and the sun, his blood changed into water in river and sea, his hair into grass. In all, the universe and Pangu bine in one.

观察下列从Reading中选取的句子，并说出其引导的从句在主句中充当的成分及引导词的功能。

①What it was to bee was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe.

②The earth became so violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not.

③What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down，water began to appear on its surface.

④It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life.

⑤What many scientists believe is that the continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas.

[自我总结]　1.引导词what/whether/that引导的从句在句中均可作主语。

2．what引导从句，并在从句中充当表语(①)、主语(③)、宾语(⑤)。

3．that引导从句，但在从句中不充当成分，也无意义(④)。

4．whether引导从句，在从句中不充当成分，但是有“是否”的意义(②)。

名词性从句：主语从句

在复合句中作主语的从句叫做主语从句。

1．主语从句的引导词

　 Who will do it doesn't matter.(连接代词who在从句中作主语)

谁做这件事都没有关系。

What we need is more water.(连接代词what在从句中作need的宾语)

我们需要的是更多的水。

2．it作形式主语

为保持句子平衡，常把主语从句后置，而用形式主语it代替。it作形式主语时常用于以下句型：

　 It makes no difference where we shall have the meeting.我们在哪儿开会并不要紧。

It is said that Mr.Green has arrived in Beijing.

据说格林先生已抵达北京。

3．主语从句中应注意的问题

(1)从句的语序要用陈述语序。

Whoever leaves the room last is expected to turn off the lights.无论谁最后离开房间都要把灯关掉。

(2)从句作主语时，主句的谓语一般用单数形式。有时受表语的影响用复数形式。

Who has left so many sweets on his table makes him curious.谁在他的桌上留下了那么多糖块令他很好奇。

What he wants to read now are some magazines.

现在他想读的是一些杂志。

(3)从句的时态一般要取决于主句。

What made people excited was that the solar ship had pleted around­the­world trip.

让人们激动的是太阳能船已完成了环游世界的旅行。

Ⅰ.单项填空

1．(xx·江西高考)________one of you breaks the window will have to pay for it.

A．Whoever　　　　　　B．Whatever

C．Whichever D．Wherever

【解析】　句意：你们当中无论哪一个打破窗户都必须赔偿。此处指从“you”这一范围中作出选择，故选C项，表示“无论哪一个”。

【答案】　C

2．(xx·陕西高考)It remains to be seen________the newly formed mittee's policy can be put into practice.

A．that B．which

C．what D．whether

【解析】　句意：新组建的委员会的政策是否会付诸实施还有待观察。该句包含一个由whether引导的主语从句“whether the newly formed mittee's policy can be put into practice”，该主语从句不缺成分，所以排除B和C；由语境中的remains to be seen可知，“是否实施新政策”还有待观察，所以此处要用whether。故选D。

【答案】　D

3．Was________decided that they should start the project the next week?

A．he B．this

C．that D．it

【解析】　本句可还原为“It was decided that...”，it为形式主语，that引导真正的主语从句。

【答案】　D

4．It matters little________a person dies，but________matters much more is________he lives.

A．how；what；how B．how；it；how

C．why；it；why D．which；what；that

【解析】　句意为“一个人怎么死的不太重要，但重要的是他是如何活着的”。第一空用how引导主语从句，it作形式主语；第二空what引导主语从句；第三空用how引导表语从句。

【答案】　A

5．Which topics you are interested in________none of my business.________about is the present problem.

A．is；What I am concerned

B．are；What I am concerned

C．is；What am I concerned

D．are；What am I concerned

【解析】　which引导的从句作主语时通常按单数处理，主句谓语应用单数形式，排除B、D两项；主语从句要用陈述句语序，故选A项。

【答案】　A

6．The villagers have already known________we'll do is to rebuild the bridge.

A．this B．that

C．what D．which

【解析】　句意：村民们已经知道我们要做的事是重修这座桥。分析句子结构可知，known后的宾语从句中含有一个主语从句，该从句缺少引导词并且从句中do缺少宾语，故用what，意为“……的事情”。this不能引导从句；that在名词性从句中不作句子成分；which强调“哪一个”，不符合句意。

【答案】　C

7．—It remains to be seen________the plan can be put into practice.

—It depends on your determination.

A．whether B．where

C．how D．that

【解析】　It remains...中的it是形式主语，“________the plan can be put into practice”是真正的主语，根据句意，空格处应有“是否”的含义，所以选用whether。

【答案】　A

8．________all the inventions have in mon is________they have succeeded.

A．What；what B．That；that

C．What；that D．That；what

【解析】　句中is前面的部分为主语从句，从句中含有“have...in mon”短语，因此前一空格中的词应引导主语从句并作have的宾语；后一空格中的连词引导表语从句，从句中succeeded为不及物动词，因此该连词不充当句子成分。that引导名词性从句时不在从句中充当句子成分。

【答案】　C

9．________he referred to in his article was unknown to the general reader.

A．That B．What

C．Whether D．Where

【解析】　句意：文章中他所提及的内容一般读者不知道。此主语从句中referred to后面明显缺宾语，所以应该选连接代词，故C、D项被排除；that在从句中不充当成分，故选B项。

【答案】　B

10．It is obvious to the students________they should get well prepared for their future.

A．as B．which

C．whether D．that

【解析】　that引导从句为真正的主语，it作形式主语。

【答案】　D

Ⅱ.用适当的连接词完成下列句子

How to save water

We can never overemphasize the importance of saving water.But we are now wasting a large amount of water in our daily life.

It's estimated that about 70% of the water used in a family every day can be saved if we follow the tips below.

First, use recycled water. For example, you can use the water to wash rice first, and then use it to wash vegetables. Finally, the water can be used to wash the toilet.

Second, when you are taking a bath, turn down the tap a little bit. Remember to shut it off in time if you are not using it.

Third, when you are washing dishes, use some paper to clean them first，and then use the water to wash them, which will save much water.

Only when everyone takes an active part can we really help save our limited water resource.

完形填空解题技法(十)

思前想后觅逻辑法

逻辑是作者的行文方式，主要包括并列、转折、条件、因果、递进、让步等。它们之间有的通过连接词来表达，关系非常明显；有的隐含在句与句之中，关系比较隐晦。考生应该根据前后信息进行思考，拨开迷雾，准确理解上下文间的逻辑关系。

【实例透析】　

1．(xx·江苏高考)．..Today we can talk，text，e­mail，chat and blog(写博客)，not only from our __42__，but from our mobile phones as well.

...

42．A.media　　　　　　　B．puters

C．databases D．monitors

【解析】　B。这句话用了并列连词not only...but(also)．..，意为“不仅……而且……”，根据but后面的“our mobile phones”可知，not only后面也要填一个与其属于同一范畴但非同一物的名词，故选puters。

2．(xx·广东高考)．..For example，they may believe that people should always tell the truth，and that lying is __6__ acceptable...

6．A.seldom B．rarely

C．merely D．never

【解析】　D。句中的并列连词and表示前后两个分句是逻辑上的并列关系。前一分句的意思是“他们认为人们永远要说实话”，后一分句与前一分句意义一致，故此处要用never，表示“从不”。

【技巧点拨】

应用此法做完形填空题时，需要理清上下文之间的逻辑关系，找出它们内在的联系及含义。例如注意一些连词，像and, but, or, if, because, so, though等在句中所起的作用，进而理清上下文之间的逻辑关系作出正确的判断。

When Teresa, a widow with four young children, saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a__1__family, she took $ 10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen2(cookies). She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy going to the home that was to__3__the people's help.

【解析】　本文是一篇记叙文。特里萨是一个很贫穷的母亲，她一个人带着4个孩子度日。当她看见教堂帮助人的活动通知时，她拿出了10美元买了一些原料，做了一些甜饼，准备送人，并且在那里等着和他人一起给那些需要的人送去。当车队来到自己的家门口的时候，筹办人发现了特里萨，原来她也参与了帮助人的活动。特里萨虽然感到有点不自在，但是她却奉献出自己的甜饼和他人来分享。

1. D　考查语境逻辑。根据前面的语境及下文中的“going to the home that was to__3__the people's help”可知是给予需要帮助的家庭，所以应该是贫穷的家庭，故选D。needy意为“贫困的”。wealthy“富有的”；big“大的”；noble“高贵的”，均不符合语境。

3. B　考查语境逻辑。根据前面的语境：她看到一个教堂的通知，要人们准备东西送给那些贫穷的家庭，再根据空格后面的“the people's help”可知此处表示接受人们的帮助，所以选B。offer“提供”；expect“期待”；refuse“拒绝”，均不符合语境。

4. C　考查语境逻辑。从后面的“she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house”可知车队来到了她家，因此路线是她熟悉的，所以选C。pleasant“令人愉快的”；lengthy“漫长的”；rough“艰难的”，均不符合语境。

5. A　考查语境逻辑。从后面的“We know it's been a great__6__since your husband died”可知她的丈夫死了，她生活得也很艰难，所以他们从来没有想到她还会去帮助其他人。just“刚才”；even“甚至”；seldom“很少”，均不符合语境。

6. D　考查语境逻辑。从空格后面的“since your husband died”可知她的丈夫死了，因此生活对她来说是很艰难的，所以选D。failure“失败”；fort“安慰”；success“成功”，均不符合语境。

7. B　考查语境逻辑。前面提到她的丈夫死后，她的生活很艰难，所以人们都想帮助她，故选B。satisfy“满足”；invite“邀请”；remember“记得”，均不符合语境。
