山东省新泰二中 古智清
定语从句是高考的热点之一，在每年的高考英语试题中，几乎所以省份都会考查一处定语从句。而且，最近几年还考到了比较特殊的用法。请看两道山东卷中的试题：
【典型例题】
1. He was educated at a local grammar school, ______ he went on to Cambridge. (2005年山东卷)
A. from which B. after that C. after which D. from this
2. The book was written in 1946, ______ the education system has witnessed great changes. (2007年山东卷)
A. when B. during which C. since then D. since when
【典例分析】
1. 句意：他在当地一所文法学校上学，之后他便去了剑桥。根据句意可排除A、D两项；after that意为“然后，之后”，但不能引导一个定语从句，因此B项也被排除；after which相当于and after that，不但符合语境，而且能引导定语从句，故答案为C。
2. 句意：该书写于1946年，从那以后教育制度已经历了巨大变化。根据从句中的现在完成时态和句意，我们可排除A、B两项；短语since then意为“从那以后”，但不能引导一个定语从句，因此也排除了C项；故此处应选D项，since when相当于and since then，它能引导一个定语从句。
【同类例句】
除了上述例题外，我们还回见到下面的例子：
1. At home, he never seems to have time until after 10:30 pm, by which time his children have gone to bed.
= At home, he never seems to have time until after 10:30 pm, and by that time his children have gone to bed.
在家里，他好像十点半之后才有空，到那时孩子们已上床睡觉了。
2. We were next-door neighbors for three years, during which time we met only twice.
= We were next-door neighbors for three years, and during this/that time we met only twice.
我们做了三年隔壁邻居，在此期间我们只见过两次面。
3. It occurred to him that it would save a lot of trouble to destroy the advertisement, in which case, he would have to explain to Peter.
=It occurred to him that it would save a lot of trouble to destroy the advertisement, but in that case, he would have to explain to Peter.
他曾想到过，撤销广告会避免很多麻烦；但是如果那样的话，他必须向皮特做出解释。
4. I was told my work was unsatisfactory, at which point I submitted my resignation.
= I was told my work was unsatisfactory, and at this/that point I submitted my resignation.
被告知我的工作不能令人满意，闻讯后我便递交了辞呈。
5. He is studying economics, which knowledge is pretty important today.
= He is studying economics, and this knowledge is pretty important today.
他在学习经济学，这门知识在当今非常重要。
6. He stood by the window, from where he could see what was happening outside.
= He stood by the window, and from there he could see what was happening outside.
他站在窗子旁边，从那儿他能看到外面发生的一切。
【小结点拨】
根据上面的例句，我们不妨做出如下总结：①带有this, that的短语，引导定语从句时，要将this, that变为which；②带有here, there的短语，引导定语从句时，要将here, there变为where；③带有then, now的短语，引导定语从句时，要将then, now变为when；④带有one's的短语，引导定语从句时，要将one's变为whose。
