第五單元語法：名詞性從句

1. 名詞性從句

2. 同位語從句

3. 同位語從句與定語從句的辨析

4. what; whatever; whoever; where引導的名詞性從句

5. it 作為形式主語的句型

知識總結與歸納：

（一）名詞性從句的結構：名詞性從句起名詞作用在句中做主語，表語，賓語和同位語構成：主語從句；表語從句；賓語從句和同位語從句。引導名詞性從句的連詞有三類：that；whether; wh-疑問詞。

例句：

1.The result of this French influence was that the English language ended up with many French words such as table, animal and age.

2. They realize that it is of great value to record and teach them to the younger generation.

3. I want to tell the reader that these hills and fields are most beautiful, with many small and clear rivers, and rich fields bearing fruit and grain.

4. Some people feel that Wales is an ancient fairy land.

5. What interested him was that the whole world had been mapped 70 years before Columbus.

6. What is certain that the book has made many people think about the achievements of Zheng He and other Chinese captains and their role in discovering the world.

7. That most of these are now threatened and may disappear is a serious matter to the people in Britain.

8. This gave him the idea that the Chinese perhaps first discovered America.

（二）同位語從句在名詞idea; fact; news; thought; suggestion/advice; problem; proof等詞后面帶上that+陳述句 這部分從句解釋了前面的那些名詞所指的內容，與那些名詞起著同等作用的句子成分，叫同位語從句。

1. The fact that Great Britain is made up of three countries is still unknown to many.

2. The idea that England stands for Fish& Chips, Speakers’ Corner, Big Ben and the Tower of London is past.

3. The result that Oxford beat Cambridge by a foot in 2003 surprised many.

4. The news that he died was a great shock to his mother.

5. If there’s possibility that you’ll go, I’d like to go with you.

6. I asked myself a question whether the research is worth the trouble.

7. I have no idea what has happened to him.

（三）同位語從句與定語從句的辨析：

that引導的同位語從句解釋前面名詞的內容，that是連詞沒有任何意義，在從句中不做任何成分。而定語從句修飾前面的先行詞，從句有關系詞that; which; who; when; where; why引導，先行詞在從句中充當主語，賓語，狀語。

1. The news that the plane would take off on time made everyone happy.

2. The news that is spreading around the airport is that a heavy storm is coming.

（四）what; whatever; whoever; where引導的名詞性從句：what+陳述句：……的話/事/的樣子；whatever+陳述句：……的任何東西；whoever+陳述句：做…事的任何人；（以上名詞性從句做主語，表語或賓語）；where+陳述句：……的所在，做表語。

1. What life will be like in the future is difficult to predict.

2. The schools of the future will probably be quite different from what they are today.

3. If we learn to accept change and appreciate what is new and different, we will be well-prepared for whatever the future may have in store.

4. Whoever comes will be welcome.

5. That is just where they are mistaken.

（五）與“命令，建議，要求, 有必要/重要”有關的名詞性從句中的謂語動詞結構：1）主動結構：should do; 2）被動結構：should be done;（should可以省略）

1. I suggest that he should come another day.

2. The suggestion that the students should learn something practical is worth considering.

3. I though it necessary that I should stay in the room till he came back.

（六）it 作為形式主語的句型：

It is +形容詞/名詞/名詞短語+that 從句。

It is said / reported / predicted that從句。

It is suggested / believed / thought / hoped / found / that從句。

1. It’s a pity that you are leaving.

2. It’s decided that the meeting has been put off till next Monday.

3. It was once predicted that British and American English would become separate languages finally.

三. 閱讀理解

Coketown was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it; but in fact it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of savage（野人）. It was a town of machinery and tall chimney, out of which smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill smelling color, and large piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the steam-engine worked up and down like the head of an elephant in a state of madness. The town contained several large streets all very like one another, and many small streets still more like one another, inhabited（居�。゜y people equally like one another.

A sunny midsummer day. There was such a thing sometimes even in Coketown. Seen from a distance in such a weather, Coketown lay covered in a smoke of its own. You only knew the town was there, because you knew there could have been no such a place upon the view without a town.

The streets were hot and dusty on the summer day, and the sun was so bright that it even shone through the smoke over Coketown, and could not be looked at steadily. Workers appeared from low underground doorways into factory yards, and sat on steps, wiping their face sand looking at coals. The whole town seemed to be frying in oil. There was a smell of hot oil everywhere. The atmosphere of those places was like the breath of hell（地獄）, and their inhabitants wasting with heat, walked lazily in the desert. But no temperature made the mad elephants more mad or more sane（理智的）. Their tiresome heads went up and down at the sane rate, in hot weather and in cold, wet weather and dry. The measured movement of their shadows of wood; while for the summer noise of insects, it could offer all the year round, from the dawn of Monday to the night of Saturday.

1. Which of the following words is NOT properly used to describe Coketown ?

A. unpleasant B. dirty C. noisy D. deserted

2. From the passage we know that Coketown was mainly a（n）_____town.

A. industrial B. agricultural C. historical D. cultural

3. Only _____ were not affected by weather.

C. The town was seriously polluted

D. The town’s atmosphere was unchanged

三. 閱讀理解：

1. D 從全文對整個小鎮的描述看；小鎮讓人感到不舒服，骯臟，充滿了噪音。所以D項不符合對小鎮的描述。deserted：荒廢的。

2. A 整座小鎮是一個工業城鎮。從這樣幾處細節可以看出：第一段：It was a town of machinery and tall chimney, out of which smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever.；第二段：Seen from a distance in such a weather, Coketown lay covered in a smoke of its own.；以及第三段：Workers appeared from low underground doorways into factory yards, and sat on steps, wiping their face sand looking at coals。

3. C 根據第三段：But no temperature made the mad elephants more mad or more sane（理智的）. Their tiresome heads went up and down at the sane rate, in hot weather and in cold, wet weather and dry.。在第一段曾把the steam-engine比喻為處于瘋狂狀態的大象。即：the steam-engine worked up and down like the head of an elephant in a state of madness.。

4. C 小鎮的景色明顯受著嚴重的工業污染。
