语法精讲
【例句观察】
Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really
knows.
However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen
thousand years ago.
Scientists believe that these first settlers crossed the Bering Strait from Asia to Alaska by
means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times.
This is why today over 40% of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language.

major racial or cultural groups, but simply a mixture of many cultures.

性从句。名词性从句为非独立分句,包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句,有三
种从句结构来表示:

It is certain that she will do well in her exam.(作主语)
(2)以 wh 疑问词引导的 wh-疑问从句
They couldn’t understand why I refused.(作宾语)
(3)以 what 或 wh-ever 等关系代词引导的名词性关系从句。
I’ll show you whatever you want to see.(作宾语)

考题再现
1.(经典回放)__________we can’t get seems better than __________we have.
A. What; what B. What; that
C. That; that D. That; what
提示:在名词性从句中 that 与 what 的区别是:what 作连词在从句中作成分,且含有疑问
意义,that 只作引导词,不充当句子成分。此题考查了两个名词性从句,因为从句中都缺宾
语,所以都应选择 what 不选 that。
答案:A
2.(经典回放) __________we’ll go camping tomorrow depends on the weather.
A. If
B. Whether
C. That
D. Where
提示:whether 和 if 的区别是:在引导宾语从句时两者一般可以通用,但在引导主语从句、
表语从句、同位语从句、介词后面的宾语从句以及后面直接跟 or not 时只能用 whether,不能
用 if。而且 whether 又有“是否”的意思,根据题目内容不能选 A。

3.(经典回放)What the doctors really doubt is __________my mother will recover from the
serious disease soon.
A. when B. how
