What we all know is that the old scientist, _______ life was hard in the past, still works very hard in his eighties.

A.for whom

B.for him

C.for whose

D.for which

答案

答案:A

题目分析:这是定语从句,因为that引导的是表语从句,the old scientist still works very hard in his eighties.是主句,______life was hard in the past是定语从句,两个句子中间缺少关系词,him不能起连接的作用,故排除B;先行词是the old scientist,which不能代替人,故排除D;如果用for whose,那么从句中就缺少主语,因为for whose life是介词短语不能作主语,这里选for whom,life是从句的主语,故选A。

点评:本题较难。定语从句是英语语法中非常重要的内容,在阅读和理解过程中起着极其重要的作用。定语从句的考查关键在于定语从句的成分分析,需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力。
