託福閱讀高分必備：形容詞性從句
託福閱讀文段中，大多數都包含着一些形容詞性從句，雖然在中沒有直接考察語法的題型，不過，如果大家對一些從句分析不清，很有可能影響題意理解。下面，新東方網託福頻道爲您整理託福閱讀中形容詞性從句的表現及用法，希望能幫助大家取得託福高分。
定語從句(Attributive Clauses)在句中作定語，其作用是修飾主句的某個名詞性成分，相當於形容詞，所以又稱爲形容詞性從句。通常定語從句皆置於它所修飾的名詞或代詞之後，被修飾的名詞或代詞叫做先行詞(antecedent)，而引導定語從句的詞稱爲關聯詞。
關聯詞常有3個作用：連接作用，引導定語從句;代替先行詞;在定語從句中擔當一個成分。關聯詞爲關係代詞和關係副詞。關係代詞在定語從句中可以用作主語、賓語、定語等;關係副詞在定語從句中只用作狀語。如：
★ One factor which may help ensure that some endangered languages do not die out completely is people's increasing appreciation of their cultural identity.(which may help ensure that some endangered languages do not die out completely是關係代詞which引導的定語從句，用以修飾which的先行詞factor, which在從句中用作主語)
★ And even in regions where new projects seem warranted, we must find ways to meet demands with fewer resources, respecting ecological criteria and to a smaller budget.(where new projects seem warranted是關係副詞where引導的定語從句，用以修飾where的先行詞regions, where在從句中用作地點狀語)
定語從句一般緊跟在其先行詞之後。如：
★ Food production has kept pace with soaring populations mainly because of the expansion of artificial irrigation systems that make possible the growth of 40% of the world's food.(關係代詞that引導的定語從句緊跟其先行詞artificial irrigation systems之後)
有時也可以與先行詞分離。如：
★ A new teacher will come tomorrow, who will teach you Chinese.(關係代詞who引導的定語從句與其先行詞teacher分離)
用作關聯詞的關係代詞有that, which, who, whom, whose, as等，但在此提醒考生們絕對沒有“what”。who, whom, whose指人，who是主格，在定語從句中用作主語(在非正式英語中也可以用作賓語，並且用作賓語時可以省去不用);whom是賓格，在定語從句中用作賓語(也可以省去不用);whose是屬格，在定語從句中用作定語(有時也可以指物)。如：
★ The American zoologist Donald Griffin, who was largely responsible for the discovery of sonar in bats, coined the term ‘echolocation' to cover both sonar and radar, whether used by animals or by human instruments.(主格關係代詞who在從句中作主語)
★ The man who he talked about is a professor.(在非正式英語中who代替了whom,也可以省去不用)
★ He doesn't like the girl whom you refer to.(賓格關係代詞whom在從句中用作賓語，也可以省去不用)
★ The children whose parents give priority to work may feel lonely and alienated.(屬格關係代詞whose在定語從句中用作定語，指人)
★ The car whose wheels have been stolen was bought yesterday.(屬格關係代詞whose在定語從句中用作定語，指物，即car，可以用of which代替，但後者較爲正式)
That在定語從句中既可以用作主語，也可以用作賓語(在非正式文體中可省去);既可以指人，也可以指物。如：
★ These methods include strength training that duplicate what they are doing in their running events as well as plyometrics, a technique pioneered in the former Soviet Union.(關係代詞that在定語從句中用作主語，指物)
★ Put another way, basic heath-care is now recognized as a ‘public good', rather than a ‘private good' that one is expected to buy for oneself.(關係代詞that在定語從句中用作賓語，指物)
★ The students that hold a foreign degree seem to be more confident and independent.(關係代詞that在定語從句中用作主語，指人)
which在定語從句中既可以用作主語，也可以用作賓語;一般皆指物(在非正式文體中可省去)。如：
★ Eye position in freshwater dolphins, which often swim on their side or upside down while feeding, suggests that what vision they have stereoscopic forward and upward.(關係代詞which在定語從句中用作主語)
★ Those surveyed had experienced chronic illnesses, for which orthodox medicine had been able to provide little relief.(關係代詞which在定語從句中用作賓語，可以省去)
which在從句中也可以被用作定語和表語。如：
★ His money had been stolen, which news annoyed him.(關係代詞which在定語從句中用作定語)
★ They were completely mistrusted, which in fact, they were.(關係代詞which在定語從句中用作表語)
關係代詞在從句中用作介詞賓語時，介詞可以位於從句之首，也可以位於從句之末。但以位於從句之首較爲正式。如：
★ This has been encouraged through programs of language classes fro children and through ‘apprentice' scheme, in which the endangered language is used as the medium of instruction to teach people a traditional skill.(關係代詞which在定語從句中用作介詞in的賓語，介詞位於定語從句之首，即which之前)
★ This has been encouraged through programs of language classes fro children and through ‘apprentice' scheme, which the endangered language is used as the medium of instruction to teach people a traditional skill in.(介詞in位於定語從句之首，which在此可以省去)
像during, except或者表示分割作用的of等介詞通常放在關係代詞的前面。如：
★ The years during which he was away were long years to her.
★ He wrote many books, some of which you will read some day.
關係代詞who和that用作介詞賓語時，介詞須置於句末。如：
★ The writer you referred to was an unknown writer.(關係代詞who用作介詞to的賓語，介詞to須位於定語從句之末，who在口語中可以省去)
★ This is the problem that he has been complaining about.(關係代詞that用作介詞about的賓語，介詞about須位於定語從句之末)
有時定語從句中還有其他成分，介詞則位於定語從句之中。如：
This is the engineer who he cooperated with in the project.
先行詞指人時，關係代詞既可以用who, 也可以用that。但關係代詞在定語從句中用作主語時，多用主格who。如：
★ Beyond the practical need to make order out of chaos, the rise of the dictionaries is associated with the rise of the English middle class, who were anxious to define and circumscribe the various world to conquer.(persons, those, people等先行詞多用關係代詞who)
★ It is Tom who should be punished.(在強調結構中，指人時多用who)
★ The American zoologist Donald Griffin, who was largely responsible for the discovery of sonar in bats, coined the term ‘echolocation' to cover both sonar and radar, whether used by animals or by human instruments.
託福閱讀都考哪些語法點?
1.形容詞
形容詞修飾名詞或代詞，說明事物或人的性質或特徵。通常，可將形容詞分成性質形容詞和敘述形容詞兩類，其位置不一定都放在名詞前面。形容詞是修飾回答像"what kind of" 或 "which?" 或 "whose?" 這類的問題。在使用時要注意與副詞的區分。
1)以-ly結尾的形容詞：friendly， deadly， lovely， lonely， likely， lively， ugly， brotherly
2)以-ly 結尾既爲形容詞，也爲副詞：daily， weekly， monthly， yearly， early
2.副詞
副詞通常修飾動詞，形容詞，副詞或其他結構。(它也可以修飾另一個副詞或一個形容詞，但是這種情況託福[微博]考試裏是比較少見的。)副詞經常回答"how?"
正確的位置：
1) 在動詞之前;在be動詞、助動詞之後。
2) 有多個助動詞時，副詞一般放在第一個助動詞後。
3) 方式副詞well， badly， hard等只放在句尾。He speaks English well。
另外，
1) 副詞very可修飾形容詞，但不能修飾動詞。
I very like English. (×)
I like English very much. (√)
2) 副詞enough要放在形容詞的後面，形容詞enough放在名詞前後都可。
3.比較
當比較兩個事物時，用比較級，也就是-er形式或者用修飾詞less和more。當比較多於兩個以上的事物時，用最高級，也就是-est形式或者做most和least 修飾。
4.措辭錯誤
像包括its/it's，affect/effect，lie/lay這類長相類似的詞常常容易被錯用，從而引起審閱者的困惑。如果你不能確定如何用這些詞的話，就儘量避免使用。
5.雙重否定
與中文不同，在英語裏，雙重否定很容易出問題，類似於"not none"，"hardly none"和"not never"這樣的雙重否定都是不正確的。
託福閱讀真題
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire that provides information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many person-on-the-street interviews on local television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.
