2. B. 因为在此题中where引导定语从句，表示“在这种情况下”，与in which相当。
3. A. 句末已经出现时间状语in 2008，由此得出先行词是Beijing而不是this autumn，所以用where引导
定语从句。
4. A. 因为先行词既指人又指物，只能用that。
5. D. 因为这是个非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面一句话的内容。

6. B. 因为表示“阶段、程度、地步”的the point在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用where引导定语从句。
7. B. 因为先行词是research centers并在定语从句中作状语，所以用where。
8. C. 因为当先行词是表示事物的all, little, few, much, anything, everything, nothing等
时，多用that引导定语从句。本句句型结构划分如下：I hope that
【the little (that I have been able to do) does good to them all】。
9. B因为先行词是the time，且 在定语从句中作状语，所以用when引导。此题的先行词与定语从句被主句谓语
分开了，整个句子可以 改为：
’The time when modern communications will become widespread in China
s vast countryside is not far away.
10. B. 先行词是Taiwan is a part of China整个主句，一般由as或which引导定语从句，但which引
导的定语从句只能 放在主句之后，另外，as有“正如”之意，而which没有，所以用as。顺便说说，原句可改为：
It is known to everybody that Taiwan is
= What is known to everybody is that Taiwan is…

13. B. 考查非限制性定语从句，all of whose homes = all of their homes他们所有的房子。
14. D. 因为先行词是前面整个句子，且在从句中作主语，所以用which。of course是插入语。

并且充当后面定语从句的先行词，又因定 语从句不缺主语或宾语，所以用关系副词where。
16. A. 因为先行词是the days，并在定语从句中作状语。
17. B. 当先行词前有the same, such, so等修饰时，用as引导定语从句，as在从句中作主语或宾语。假

male drinkers’。
27. D. 此题中whose指代的是the girl’s。
28. A. 最高级修饰先行词，通常用that，不用who。
