选择题
What do you think of the reason _______ he mentioned at the meeting _______ winning this competition?
A.why; why
B.that; of
C.which; why
D.\; for
答案
答案:D
题目分析:通过分析句子结构,可知这个句子中包含一个定语从句,且关系词在定语从句中作宾语,先行词指物,故用that或which,也可省略。第二个空,表示“为了赢得比赛”,故用介词for。
点评:如果先行词是表示时间或地点的名词,不能就一律断定要用关系副词when或where,务必要看引导词在从句中作什么成分,如果作状语,用关系副词,如做主语或宾语要用关系代词。同理,当reason做先行词时,也需注意其引导词在从句中作什么成分,不能断定一概用why来引导。如:The reason why I was absent yesterday was that I was ill. 我昨天缺席的原因是我生病了。(定语从句中缺状语,表示原因,故用关系副词why)The reason that he explained for his being late was that he had missed the early bus.他所解释的迟到的原因是他误了头班汽车。(explain是及物动词,that在从句中作其宾语)
