核心考点梳理
一、 主语从句
1． 定义：在复合句中作句子主语的从句叫做主语从句。
2． 连接词：
引导主语从句的连接词有三类：
连词that、whether;
疑问代词who, what, which，whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever;
疑问副词when, where, how, why，however, whenever, wherever等
⑴ 连词that（无词意）, whether(是否), 在从句中不充当句子成分，只起连接作用; whether 能引导主语从句，而if不能。
That you don’t like him has nothing to do with me.
Whether John will do this experiment remains a question.
That the wounded soldier is still alive is a wonder.
It is a wonder that the wounded soldier is still alive.
常见的句型有：
①It is/was +形容词+that 从句
It’s unlikely that… 不可能 It’s strange that…奇怪的是……
②It is/was +名词+that 从句
It’s a pity that… 遗憾的是…… It’s a fact that …事实是……
③It +不及物动词+that 从句
It seems that… 似乎…… It happened that…碰巧……
It appears that…看来…… It turns out that…结果……
④It is/was +过去分词+that 从句
It’s not known that… ……不得而知 It’s said that… 据说……
⑤其他
It doesn’t matter +that /wh-Clause… 是无关紧要的
It makes no difference +that /wh-Clause…毫无区别……
⑵ 疑问代词who, what, which, 在从句中既作连接词又充当主语、宾语、表语、定语等。
What surprised me most was that such a little girl could play the violin so well.
Whose dictionary has not been found is still unknown.
Whoever wants this book may take it.
⑶ 疑问副词when, where, how, why，whenever, however, wherever等在从句中充当时间状语、地点状语、方式状语、原因状语
如：When they will start hasn’t been decided yet.
Where the heroine went is not mentioned at the end of the story.
二、 表语从句
1． 定义：用作表语的从句叫做表语从句。
2． 引导表语从句的连接词种类：
(1) 连词that，whether（无if）
that在引导表语从句时无词义，而whether有词义，意为、“是否”。这时主句的主语常常是些抽象名词，如question(问题)，trouble(麻烦)，problem(问题)，result(结果)，chance(可能性)，suggestion(建议)，idea(想法)，reason(理由)等。表语从句对主句主语进行说明、解释，使主语的内容具体化。
The trouble is (that) she has lost his money. 麻烦的事是他丢了钱。
The question is whether we need more ice cream.问题是我们是否还需要一些冰淇淋。
我们不能理解越来越少的学生对他的课不感兴趣。
(2) 连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever, whichever
连接副词 where, when, how, why, wherever, whenever, however。
如：The problem is who we can get to replace her. 问题是我们能找到谁去替换她呢。
The question is how he did it. 问题是他是如何做此事的。
（3）由连词because，as if/as though等引导的表语从句。
It looked as if it was going to snow.看起来好像要下雪了。
That's because we never thought of it.这是因为我们从未想过此事。
三、 宾语从句
1． 定义：用作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。
2． 引导宾语从句的关联词有三类：
(1) 从属连词that。如：
He told us that he felt ill. 他对我们说他感到不舒服。
Everybody could see what happened and that Tom was frightened.
大家都会看出所发生的事情并知道Tom非常害怕。
(and连接两个宾语从句，that宾语从句放在and的后面时，that不能省略。)
I know nothing about him except that he is from the south.
对他我一无所知，只知道他是南方人。(that引导的宾语从句作介词宾语时，that不能省略。)
We decided, in view of his special circumstances, that we would admit him for a
probationary period.
鉴于他的特殊情况，我们决定应允他一段试用期。(主句谓语动词与that从句之间有插入语，that不可省略。)
(2) 从属连词if/whether。如：
I doubt whether he will succeed. 我怀疑他是否会成功。
I don’t know if you can help me. 我不知道你能否帮助我。
if和whether引导的宾语从句可以互换使用，但whether常和or not连用，if一般不
与or not连用。如：I wonder whether it is true or not. 我不知它是真是假。
用if引导宾语从句如果会引起歧义，应避免使用if而用whether。试比较：
Please let me know if you want to go.
Please let me know whether you want to go.
(3)连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever, whichever
连接副词 where, when, how, why。
Who or what he was, Martin never learned.
他是什么人？他是干什么的？马丁根本不知道。
I wonder what he’s writing to me about. 我不知道他要给我写信说什么事。
3． 宾语从句包括动词宾语从句，介词宾语从句及形容词宾语从句。
（1）介词宾语从句
如：He was deeply displeased by what had occurred that day.他对那天发生的事感到很不快。
（2）动词宾语从句
注意：a. 在demand, order, desire, request, command insist, suggest, advise,等表愿望，命令等时，用虚拟语气。宾语从句常用“should+ 动词原形”。 如：
a) I insist that she (should) do her work alone.
b. 动词+间接宾语+宾语从句。
动词如：advise, ask, inform, promise, question, remind, show, teach, tell, warn等，宾语从句前可以有一个间接宾语，这个宾语有时可以省略，有的不能省略。
He has informed me when they are to discuss my proposal.他已经通知我们将什么时候讨论我的建议。(me不可省略)
（3）形容词或过去分词后接宾语从句
I am not certain whether I have met him before.我不能肯定从前是否见过他。
注意：that引导的从句在下列形容词后面作宾语，that可以省略。anxious, aware, certain, confident, convinced, determined, glad, proud, surprised, worried, sorry, thankful, ashamed, disappointed, annoyed, pleased, hurt, satisfied, content, proud等。
四、 同位语从句
1． 定义：用作同位语的从句叫做同位语从句。
2． 用法：
① 同位语从句的先行词多为fact, news, idea, thought, question, reply, report, remark等，关联词多用从属连词that。如：
They were all very much worried over the fact that you were sick.
对你生病这件事，他们都很焦虑。
注：同位语从句偶尔由从属连词whether引导。如：

【点睛】同位语从句与定语从句从形式上来看十分相似，大多都由that来引导，都跟在名词或代词之后，这也很容易导致同学们在理解或做题时出现错误，而这两者在实质上是截然不同的，句法功能都有所不同，具体有哪些不同呢？下面我们从以下四个方面来进行区别。只要大家能把以下几点记住，多从例句找不同，仔细分析一下句子的成分，很快就能做出正确的答案。
1、引导同位语从句的that是连词,在从句中不充当任何成份,而引导定语从句的that是关系代词,除起连接作用外,还在从句中充当主语、宾语或表语等，如：
The idea that computers can recognize human voices surprises many people.
计算机能够识别人的声音的想法使许多人感到惊奇。（同位语从句，that在从句中不充当任何成份）
The idea that he gave surprises many people．他提出的观点令许多人感到吃惊。（定语从句，that在从句中作gave的宾语）
2、引导词的不同：what, how, if, whatever等可引导名词性从句，但不引导定语从句。
3、同位语从句与前面的名词是同位关系,即说明它前面名词的内容；而定语从句与前面的名词是修饰与被修饰关系,即限定它前面的名词范围,或补充一些情况。如：
The news that l have passed the math exam is true．我通过了数学考试这一消息是真的。（同位语从句,即从句所表达的意思就是前面名词的内容）
The news that he told me just now is true．他刚才告诉我的消息是真的。（定语从句,从句对前面名词起修饰限制作用,即“他告诉我的”那个消息,而不是别的消息）
4、定语从句的先行词是名词或代词；而同位语从句的先行词只能是名词，而且仅限于idea， fact， hope，news，doubt，truth，information，suggestion，question， belief，conclusion等少数名词。而且when，where，why引导的定语从句的先行词一定分别是表示时间、地点和原因的名词，而三者引导的同位语从句的先行词则肯定不是表示时间、地点和原因的名词。I have no idea when they will come. 我不知道他们什么时候来。(同位语从句)
I’ll never forget the days when I lived there. 我永远不会忘记我住在那儿的日子。(定语从句)

【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：我们应该考虑学生们的请求：学校应该提供更多的关于流行科学的书籍。_____ the school library provide more books on popular science是the students’ request的同位语从句。该从句意思结构完整，应该用that引导该从句。故A选项正确。
21．B

【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：建成于1891年，那个被称作镀金时代的时期，这栋建筑现在属于一个著名的作家。A. which哪一；B. what什么/东西；C. as正如，当，因为；D. who谁。分析句子可知此处是宾语从句连接词，从句______ was known as the Gilded Age缺少主语，且指物，故用连接代词what，故选B项。
23．A
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：乡村生活给了我宁静与安宁，这是生活在大城市我无法享受到。分析句子结构可知系动词is后面含有表语从句，动词enjoy缺少宾语；where、why属于连接副词，不能做宾语；that在名词性从句中不充当句子成分，what属于连接代词，引导这个表语从句，并在句中做enjoy的宾语。故A项正确。
【点睛】本题考查what引导的名词性从句的用法，what属于连接代词，引导名词性从句并要在句中充当主语、宾语或表语等句子成分。其具体用法如下：
1. 表示“……的东西或事情”：
They've done what they can to help her. 他们已经尽力帮助了她。
He saves what he earns. 他赚多少，积蓄多少。
What Mary is is the secretary. 玛丽的职务是秘书。

一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句；
二、连接词从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分）；
三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。

二、阅读理解
The most important determining factor of success or failure—at work and in life—is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.
For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.
Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.
But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with self-esteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.
How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal self-awareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external self-awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.
For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible.
51．The first three paragraphs mainly talk about _______.
A．the significance of self-awareness in human survival and advancement
B．the sharp contrast between self-awareness of today and the past
C．the necessity of a shift in self-awareness to satisfy the needs today
D．the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors
52．What’s the problem with “me” focused society nowadays?
A．People’s performance and abilities are overlooked.
B．Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.
C．It’s difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.
D．Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play.
53．Which of the following is an example of external self-awareness?
A．You listen to the comments about you from others.
B．You are fully aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
C．You reflect your behaviors thoroughly every day.
D．You carefully compare your behavior with that of others.
54．In the last paragraph, the author suggests that we should _______.
A．develop true insight to judge people more objectively B．try to avoid the trap set by others
C．gain more insight by means of self-examination D．pay more attention to external self-awareness
Cathy and Wayne N. who have been married five years are in their late 20’s and childless. The last time a member of Cathy’s family asked, “When are you going to start a family?” Her answer was “We are a family!”
Cathy and Wayne belong to a growing number of young married couples who are deciding not to have children. A recent survey showed that in the last five years the percentage of wives aged 25 to 29 who did not want children had almost doubled and among those 18 to 24 it had almost tripled. What lies behind this decision which seems to fly in the face of biology and society?
Perhaps the most public outspoken childless couple are Ellen Peck, author of The Baby Trap, and her husband, William, an advertising executive who is president of the National Organization for Non-parents. The Pecks insist neither they nor the organization is against parenthood, just against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want and need or not.
“It’s a life-style choice,” Ellen says. “We chose freedom and spontaneity (自发性), privacy and leisure. It’s also a question of where you want to give your efforts — within your own family or in the larger community. This generation faces serious questions about the continuity of life and as well as its quality. Our grandchildren may have to buy tickets to see the last redwoods or line up to get their oxygen ration. There are men who complain about being caught in a traffic jam for hours on their home to their five kids but can’t make the association between the children and the traffic jam. In a world seriously threatened by the consequences of overpopulation we’re concerned with making life without children acceptable and respectable. Too many children are born as a result of cultural pressure. And the results show up in the statistics on divorce and child-abuse.”
Her husband adds, “Every friend, relative and business associate is pressuring you to have kids ‘and find what you’re missing.’ Too many people discover too late that what they were missing was something they were totally unsuited for.”
And Ellen again, “From the first doll to soap operas to cocktail parties, the pressure is always there to be parents. But let’s take a 1ook at the rate of parental failure. Perhaps parenthood should be regarded as a specialized occupation like being a doctor. Some people are good at it and they should have children; others aren’t, and they should feel they have other alternatives.”
55．By asking “When are you going to start a family”, the member of Cathy’s family meant “_______”.
A．when are you going to move into a new house
B．when are you going to buy a house
C．when are you going to get married
D．when are you going to have a child
56．In the second paragraph, the phrase “to fly in the face of” most probably means _______.
A．to popularize
B．to follow
C．to go against
D．to strengthen
57．According to the third paragraph, the Pecks hold that _______.
A．all young couples should not give in before the social pressures
B．no pressure should be imposed on couples about parenthood
C．strong measures should be taken to help childless couples
D．childless couples face no problems of divorce or child-abuse
58．According to Ellen,what has caused many of the problems we face today?
A．Overpopulation.
B．Environmental pollution.
C．Cultural progress.
D．Life-style choice.
Why isn’t science better? Look at career incentives.
There are often substantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good. Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents. Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis. And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.
All too often, however, what should be just isn’t so. In a number of scientific fields, published findings turn out not to replicate (复制), or to have smaller effects than, what was initially claimed. Plenty of science does replicate — meaning the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them — but the amount that doesn’t is too much for comfort.
But there are also ways in which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong. Running studies with small samples, mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment’s results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.
It’s not like we don’t know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls on deaf ears. Why? Why aren’t scientific methods better than they are? In a word: incentives. But perhaps not in the way you think.
In the 1970s, psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making. For example, when public schools are evaluated by students’ performance on standardized tests, teachers respond by teaching “to the test”. In turn, the test serves largely as of how well the school can prepare students for the test.
We can see this principle—often summarized as “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”—playing out in the realm of research. Science is a competitive enterprise. There are far more credentialed (授以证书的) scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions. Once someone acquires a research position, there is additional competition for tenure (终身教授) grant funding, and support and placement for graduate students. Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. How do you tell if someone is a good scientist?
An oft-used metric (标准，度量) is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different. Unfortunately, this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.
If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals, we might expect them to actively try to game the system (钻空子). And certainly, some do—as seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud (欺诈). If malicious (恶意的) fraud is the prime concern, then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.
However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest. The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.
59．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Scientists are expected to persistently devoted to exploration of reality.
B．The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.
C．Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments’ results.
D．The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.
60．What does deaf ears in the fourth paragraph probably refer to?
A．The public. B．The incentive initiators.
C．The peer researchers. D．The high-impact journal editors.
61．Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A．Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.
B．Competition for resources pushes researchers to publish in a more productive way.
C．All the credentialed scholars and researchers will take up university professorships.
D．The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.
62．According to the author, what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research?
A．High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.
B．The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud.
C．Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.
D．Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了自我意识在人类生存和进步中的重要性，以及如今社会以“我”为中心存在的问题。
51．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The most important determining factor of success or failure—at work and in life—is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.(在工作和生活中，决定成功或失败的最重要因素是自我意识，了解自己是谁、别人如何看待我们以及我们如何融入这个世界的能力)”；第二段中“However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.(然而，大约在15万年前，人类的大脑发生了一次爆炸性的发展，其中，我们获得了审视自己的思想、感觉和行为的能力，以及从他人的角度看问题的能力。这种转变不仅为艺术、精神实践和语言创造了基础，而且为我们的祖先带来了生存优势，他们必须共同努力才能生存)”以及第三段中“Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical.(虽然我们可能不会每天面对同样的威胁，但自我意识同样重要)”可知，前三段主要讨论了自我意识在人类生存和进步中的重要性。故选A。
52．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with self-esteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.(但对大多数人来说，选择自欺欺人比选择冷酷无情的事实更容易。我们这个越来越以“我”为中心的社会更容易陷入这个陷阱。最近几代人成长在一个迷恋自尊的世界里，不断地被提醒自己的特殊品质。不仅我们的评估常常有缺陷，而且我们通常对自己的表现和能力——从领导技能到学校和工作中的成就——的判断也很糟糕。可怕的是，能力最差的人通常对自己的能力最自信)”可知，当今以“我”为中心的社会存在的问题是很难对自己做出客观的评价。故选C。
53．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And external self-awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.(外部自我意识，知道别人怎么看你，意味着从外到内了解你自己)”可知，A选项“你听别人对你的评价”是外部自我意识的例子。故选A。
54．细节理解题。根据最后一段“For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible.(对于那些想要获得真知灼见的人，请记住，别人对我们的看法往往比我们对自己的看法更客观，而自我反省可能隐藏着陷阱，使真知灼见实际上不可能实现)”可知，在最后一段，作者建议我们应该更加注意外在的自我意识。故选D。

56．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“A recent survey showed that in the last five years the percentage of wives aged 25 to 29 who did not want children had almost doubled and among those 18 to 24 it had almost tripled.(最近的一项调查显示，在过去五年中，25至29岁的妻子不想要孩子的比例几乎翻了一番，而在18至24岁的妻子中，这一比例几乎增加了两倍。)”和第三段“The Pecks insist neither they nor the organization is against parenthood, just against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want and need or not.(佩克斯夫妇坚称，他们和该组织都不反对为人父母，只是反对迫使人们为人父母的社会压力，不管他们是否真的想要和需要。)”可知，划线词所在的句子意思是：这个看似与生物学和社会背道而驰的决定背后隐藏着什么？由此可知，to fly in the face of意为“公然反对”。故选C。
57．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The Pecks insist neither they nor the organization is against parenthood, just against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want and need or not.(佩克斯夫妇坚称，他们和该组织都不反对为人父母，只是反对迫使人们为人父母的社会压力，不管他们是否真的想要和需要。)”可知，佩克斯夫妇认为不应该在为人父母的问题上给夫妻施加压力。故选B。
58．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In a world seriously threatened by the consequences of overpopulation we’re concerned with making life without children acceptable and respectable.(在一个受到人口过剩后果严重威胁的世界里，我们关心的是如何让没有孩子的生活变得可以接受和受人尊敬。)”可知，根据艾伦的说法，人口过剩导致了我们今天面临的许多问题。故选A。
59．A 60．A 61．B 62．D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了科学家们应该用最严格和最怀疑的方法，无情地探索现实的结构。作者认为但是科学未能发展的更好的原因在于激励。大多数科学家对了解世界真的很感兴趣，而且是诚实的。激励的问题在于，它们可以在个人没有任何意图的情况下塑造文化规范。
59．细节理解他。根据第二段的“And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.(科学家们应该用最严格和最怀疑的方法，无情地探索现实的结构)”以及最后一段的“However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest.(然而，我相信大多数科学家对了解世界是真正感兴趣的，也是诚实的)”可知，总体上来说，科学家们一直致力于对现实的探索。故选A。
60．词句猜测题。根据第五段“It’s not like we don’t know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls on deaf ears.(并不是说我们不知道如何做得更好。研究科学方法的科学家已经知道可行的补救方法几十年了。不幸的是，他们的建议经常被置若罔闻)”可推知，deaf ears指的是大众，即大众经常对科学家的建议置若罔闻。故选A。
61．推理判断题。根据第七段的“Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. (由于对资源的这种竞争，必须对科学家进行评估和比较)”和第八段的“An oft-used metric (标准，度量) is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different.(一个常用的指标是一个人在同行评议期刊上发表的文章数量，以及这些期刊的地位。像这样的指标可以直接比较研究人员，否则他们的工作可能会有很大的不同)”推知，作者认为资源竞争促使研究人员以更有成效的方式发表文章。故选B。
62．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.(激励的问题在于，它们可以在个人没有任何意图的情况下形成文化规范)”可知，作者认为科学家的职业激励应该考虑他们的个人意愿。故选D。

核心考点梳理
一、 主语从句
1． 定义：在复合句中作句子主语的从句叫做主语从句。
2． 连接词：
引导主语从句的连接词有三类：
连词that、whether;
疑问代词who, what, which，whom, whose, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever;
疑问副词when, where, how, why，however, whenever, wherever等
⑴ 连词that（无词意）, whether(是否), 在从句中不充当句子成分，只起连接作用; whether 能引导主语从句，而if不能。
That you don’t like him has nothing to do with me.
Whether John will do this experiment remains a question.
That the wounded soldier is still alive is a wonder.
It is a wonder that the wounded soldier is still alive.
常见的句型有：
①It is/was +形容词+that 从句
It’s unlikely that… 不可能 It’s strange that…奇怪的是……
②It is/was +名词+that 从句
It’s a pity that… 遗憾的是…… It’s a fact that …事实是……
③It +不及物动词+that 从句
It seems that… 似乎…… It happened that…碰巧……
It appears that…看来…… It turns out that…结果……
④It is/was +过去分词+that 从句
It’s not known that… ……不得而知 It’s said that… 据说……
⑤其他
It doesn’t matter +that /wh-Clause… 是无关紧要的
It makes no difference +that /wh-Clause…毫无区别……
⑵ 疑问代词who, what, which, 在从句中既作连接词又充当主语、宾语、表语、定语等。
What surprised me most was that such a little girl could play the violin so well.
Whose dictionary has not been found is still unknown.
Whoever wants this book may take it.
⑶ 疑问副词when, where, how, why，whenever, however, wherever等在从句中充当时间状语、地点状语、方式状语、原因状语
如：When they will start hasn’t been decided yet.
Where the heroine went is not mentioned at the end of the story.
二、 表语从句
1． 定义：用作表语的从句叫做表语从句。
2． 引导表语从句的连接词种类：
(1) 连词that，whether（无if）
that在引导表语从句时无词义，而whether有词义，意为、“是否”。这时主句的主语常常是些抽象名词，如question(问题)，trouble(麻烦)，problem(问题)，result(结果)，chance(可能性)，suggestion(建议)，idea(想法)，reason(理由)等。表语从句对主句主语进行说明、解释，使主语的内容具体化。
The trouble is (that) she has lost his money. 麻烦的事是他丢了钱。
The question is whether we need more ice cream.问题是我们是否还需要一些冰淇淋。
我们不能理解越来越少的学生对他的课不感兴趣。
(2) 连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever, whichever
连接副词 where, when, how, why, wherever, whenever, however。
如：The problem is who we can get to replace her. 问题是我们能找到谁去替换她呢。
The question is how he did it. 问题是他是如何做此事的。
（3）由连词because，as if/as though等引导的表语从句。
It looked as if it was going to snow.看起来好像要下雪了。
That's because we never thought of it.这是因为我们从未想过此事。
三、 宾语从句
1． 定义：用作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。
2． 引导宾语从句的关联词有三类：
(1) 从属连词that。如：
He told us that he felt ill. 他对我们说他感到不舒服。
Everybody could see what happened and that Tom was frightened.
大家都会看出所发生的事情并知道Tom非常害怕。
(and连接两个宾语从句，that宾语从句放在and的后面时，that不能省略。)
I know nothing about him except that he is from the south.
对他我一无所知，只知道他是南方人。(that引导的宾语从句作介词宾语时，that不能省略。)
We decided, in view of his special circumstances, that we would admit him for a
probationary period.
鉴于他的特殊情况，我们决定应允他一段试用期。(主句谓语动词与that从句之间有插入语，that不可省略。)
(2) 从属连词if/whether。如：
I doubt whether he will succeed. 我怀疑他是否会成功。
I don’t know if you can help me. 我不知道你能否帮助我。
if和whether引导的宾语从句可以互换使用，但whether常和or not连用，if一般不
与or not连用。如：I wonder whether it is true or not. 我不知它是真是假。
用if引导宾语从句如果会引起歧义，应避免使用if而用whether。试比较：
Please let me know if you want to go.
Please let me know whether you want to go.
(3)连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whatever, whichever
连接副词 where, when, how, why。
Who or what he was, Martin never learned.
他是什么人？他是干什么的？马丁根本不知道。
I wonder what he’s writing to me about. 我不知道他要给我写信说什么事。
3． 宾语从句包括动词宾语从句，介词宾语从句及形容词宾语从句。
（1）介词宾语从句
如：He was deeply displeased by what had occurred that day.他对那天发生的事感到很不快。
（2）动词宾语从句
注意：a. 在demand, order, desire, request, command insist, suggest, advise,等表愿望，命令等时，用虚拟语气。宾语从句常用“should+ 动词原形”。 如：
a) I insist that she (should) do her work alone.
b. 动词+间接宾语+宾语从句。
动词如：advise, ask, inform, promise, question, remind, show, teach, tell, warn等，宾语从句前可以有一个间接宾语，这个宾语有时可以省略，有的不能省略。
He has informed me when they are to discuss my proposal.他已经通知我们将什么时候讨论我的建议。(me不可省略)
（3）形容词或过去分词后接宾语从句
I am not certain whether I have met him before.我不能肯定从前是否见过他。
注意：that引导的从句在下列形容词后面作宾语，that可以省略。anxious, aware, certain, confident, convinced, determined, glad, proud, surprised, worried, sorry, thankful, ashamed, disappointed, annoyed, pleased, hurt, satisfied, content, proud等。
四、 同位语从句
1． 定义：用作同位语的从句叫做同位语从句。
2． 用法：
① 同位语从句的先行词多为fact, news, idea, thought, question, reply, report, remark等，关联词多用从属连词that。如：
They were all very much worried over the fact that you were sick.
对你生病这件事，他们都很焦虑。
注：同位语从句偶尔由从属连词whether引导。如：
I have no idea whether he’ll come or not. 我不知道他是否来。
② 连接代词who, which, what和连接副词where, when, why, how亦可引导同位语从句。

【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：教育专家多年来一直认为学习是一个终生的过程。分析句意及句子成分可知，此处为opinion的同位语从句，从句句子成分齐全、句意完整，应使用that，无词意、不做成分、仅起连接作用。故B选项正确。
【点睛】同位语从句与定语从句从形式上来看十分相似，大多都由that来引导，都跟在名词或代词之后，这也很容易导致同学们在理解或做题时出现错误，而这两者在实质上是截然不同的，句法功能都有所不同，具体有哪些不同呢？下面我们从以下四个方面来进行区别。只要大家能把以下几点记住，多从例句找不同，仔细分析一下句子的成分，很快就能做出正确的答案。
1、引导同位语从句的that是连词,在从句中不充当任何成份,而引导定语从句的that是关系代词,除起连接作用外,还在从句中充当主语、宾语或表语等，如：
The idea that computers can recognize human voices surprises many people.
计算机能够识别人的声音的想法使许多人感到惊奇。（同位语从句，that在从句中不充当任何成份）
The idea that he gave surprises many people．他提出的观点令许多人感到吃惊。（定语从句，that在从句中作gave的宾语）
2、引导词的不同：what, how, if, whatever等可引导名词性从句，但不引导定语从句。
3、同位语从句与前面的名词是同位关系,即说明它前面名词的内容；而定语从句与前面的名词是修饰与被修饰关系,即限定它前面的名词范围,或补充一些情况。如：
The news that l have passed the math exam is true．我通过了数学考试这一消息是真的。（同位语从句,即从句所表达的意思就是前面名词的内容）
The news that he told me just now is true．他刚才告诉我的消息是真的。（定语从句,从句对前面名词起修饰限制作用,即“他告诉我的”那个消息,而不是别的消息）
4、定语从句的先行词是名词或代词；而同位语从句的先行词只能是名词，而且仅限于idea， fact， hope，news，doubt，truth，information，suggestion，question， belief，conclusion等少数名词。而且when，where，why引导的定语从句的先行词一定分别是表示时间、地点和原因的名词，而三者引导的同位语从句的先行词则肯定不是表示时间、地点和原因的名词。I have no idea when they will come. 我不知道他们什么时候来。(同位语从句)
I’ll never forget the days when I lived there. 我永远不会忘记我住在那儿的日子。(定语从句)

23．A
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：乡村生活给了我宁静与安宁，这是生活在大城市我无法享受到。分析句子结构可知系动词is后面含有表语从句，动词enjoy缺少宾语；where、why属于连接副词，不能做宾语；that在名词性从句中不充当句子成分，what属于连接代词，引导这个表语从句，并在句中做enjoy的宾语。故A项正确。
【点睛】本题考查what引导的名词性从句的用法，what属于连接代词，引导名词性从句并要在句中充当主语、宾语或表语等句子成分。其具体用法如下：
1. 表示“……的东西或事情”：
They've done what they can to help her. 他们已经尽力帮助了她。
He saves what he earns. 他赚多少，积蓄多少。
What Mary is is the secretary. 玛丽的职务是秘书。

【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点：
一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句；
二、连接词从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分）；
三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。

二、阅读理解
The most important determining factor of success or failure—at work and in life—is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.
For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.
Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.
But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with self-esteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.
How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal self-awareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external self-awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.
For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible.
51．The first three paragraphs mainly talk about _______.
A．the significance of self-awareness in human survival and advancement
B．the sharp contrast between self-awareness of today and the past
C．the necessity of a shift in self-awareness to satisfy the needs today
D．the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors
52．What’s the problem with “me” focused society nowadays?
A．People’s performance and abilities are overlooked.
B．Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.
C．It’s difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.
D．Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play.
53．Which of the following is an example of external self-awareness?
A．You listen to the comments about you from others.
B．You are fully aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
C．You reflect your behaviors thoroughly every day.
D．You carefully compare your behavior with that of others.
54．In the last paragraph, the author suggests that we should _______.
A．develop true insight to judge people more objectively B．try to avoid the trap set by others
C．gain more insight by means of self-examination D．pay more attention to external self-awareness
Cathy and Wayne N. who have been married five years are in their late 20’s and childless. The last time a member of Cathy’s family asked, “When are you going to start a family?” Her answer was “We are a family!”
Cathy and Wayne belong to a growing number of young married couples who are deciding not to have children. A recent survey showed that in the last five years the percentage of wives aged 25 to 29 who did not want children had almost doubled and among those 18 to 24 it had almost tripled. What lies behind this decision which seems to fly in the face of biology and society?
Perhaps the most public outspoken childless couple are Ellen Peck, author of The Baby Trap, and her husband, William, an advertising executive who is president of the National Organization for Non-parents. The Pecks insist neither they nor the organization is against parenthood, just against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want and need or not.
“It’s a life-style choice,” Ellen says. “We chose freedom and spontaneity (自发性), privacy and leisure. It’s also a question of where you want to give your efforts — within your own family or in the larger community. This generation faces serious questions about the continuity of life and as well as its quality. Our grandchildren may have to buy tickets to see the last redwoods or line up to get their oxygen ration. There are men who complain about being caught in a traffic jam for hours on their home to their five kids but can’t make the association between the children and the traffic jam. In a world seriously threatened by the consequences of overpopulation we’re concerned with making life without children acceptable and respectable. Too many children are born as a result of cultural pressure. And the results show up in the statistics on divorce and child-abuse.”
Her husband adds, “Every friend, relative and business associate is pressuring you to have kids ‘and find what you’re missing.’ Too many people discover too late that what they were missing was something they were totally unsuited for.”
And Ellen again, “From the first doll to soap operas to cocktail parties, the pressure is always there to be parents. But let’s take a 1ook at the rate of parental failure. Perhaps parenthood should be regarded as a specialized occupation like being a doctor. Some people are good at it and they should have children; others aren’t, and they should feel they have other alternatives.”
55．By asking “When are you going to start a family”, the member of Cathy’s family meant “_______”.
A．when are you going to move into a new house
B．when are you going to buy a house
C．when are you going to get married
D．when are you going to have a child
56．In the second paragraph, the phrase “to fly in the face of” most probably means _______.
A．to popularize
B．to follow
C．to go against
D．to strengthen
57．According to the third paragraph, the Pecks hold that _______.
A．all young couples should not give in before the social pressures
B．no pressure should be imposed on couples about parenthood
C．strong measures should be taken to help childless couples
D．childless couples face no problems of divorce or child-abuse
58．According to Ellen,what has caused many of the problems we face today?
A．Overpopulation.
B．Environmental pollution.
C．Cultural progress.
D．Life-style choice.
Why isn’t science better? Look at career incentives.
There are often substantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good. Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents. Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis. And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.
All too often, however, what should be just isn’t so. In a number of scientific fields, published findings turn out not to replicate (复制), or to have smaller effects than, what was initially claimed. Plenty of science does replicate — meaning the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them — but the amount that doesn’t is too much for comfort.
But there are also ways in which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong. Running studies with small samples, mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment’s results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.
It’s not like we don’t know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls on deaf ears. Why? Why aren’t scientific methods better than they are? In a word: incentives. But perhaps not in the way you think.
In the 1970s, psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making. For example, when public schools are evaluated by students’ performance on standardized tests, teachers respond by teaching “to the test”. In turn, the test serves largely as of how well the school can prepare students for the test.
We can see this principle—often summarized as “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”—playing out in the realm of research. Science is a competitive enterprise. There are far more credentialed (授以证书的) scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions. Once someone acquires a research position, there is additional competition for tenure (终身教授) grant funding, and support and placement for graduate students. Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. How do you tell if someone is a good scientist?
An oft-used metric (标准，度量) is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different. Unfortunately, this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.
If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals, we might expect them to actively try to game the system (钻空子). And certainly, some do—as seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud (欺诈). If malicious (恶意的) fraud is the prime concern, then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.
However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest. The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.
59．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Scientists are expected to persistently devoted to exploration of reality.
B．The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.
C．Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments’ results.
D．The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.
60．What does deaf ears in the fourth paragraph probably refer to?
A．The public. B．The incentive initiators.
C．The peer researchers. D．The high-impact journal editors.
61．Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A．Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.
B．Competition for resources pushes researchers to publish in a more productive way.
C．All the credentialed scholars and researchers will take up university professorships.
D．The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.
62．According to the author, what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research?
A．High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.
B．The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud.
C．Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.
D．Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.

51．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The most important determining factor of success or failure—at work and in life—is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.(在工作和生活中，决定成功或失败的最重要因素是自我意识，了解自己是谁、别人如何看待我们以及我们如何融入这个世界的能力)”；第二段中“However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.(然而，大约在15万年前，人类的大脑发生了一次爆炸性的发展，其中，我们获得了审视自己的思想、感觉和行为的能力，以及从他人的角度看问题的能力。这种转变不仅为艺术、精神实践和语言创造了基础，而且为我们的祖先带来了生存优势，他们必须共同努力才能生存)”以及第三段中“Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical.(虽然我们可能不会每天面对同样的威胁，但自我意识同样重要)”可知，前三段主要讨论了自我意识在人类生存和进步中的重要性。故选A。
52．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with self-esteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities—from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.(但对大多数人来说，选择自欺欺人比选择冷酷无情的事实更容易。我们这个越来越以“我”为中心的社会更容易陷入这个陷阱。最近几代人成长在一个迷恋自尊的世界里，不断地被提醒自己的特殊品质。不仅我们的评估常常有缺陷，而且我们通常对自己的表现和能力——从领导技能到学校和工作中的成就——的判断也很糟糕。可怕的是，能力最差的人通常对自己的能力最自信)”可知，当今以“我”为中心的社会存在的问题是很难对自己做出客观的评价。故选C。
53．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And external self-awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.(外部自我意识，知道别人怎么看你，意味着从外到内了解你自己)”可知，A选项“你听别人对你的评价”是外部自我意识的例子。故选A。
54．细节理解题。根据最后一段“For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible.(对于那些想要获得真知灼见的人，请记住，别人对我们的看法往往比我们对自己的看法更客观，而自我反省可能隐藏着陷阱，使真知灼见实际上不可能实现)”可知，在最后一段，作者建议我们应该更加注意外在的自我意识。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了越来越多的年轻夫妇不愿意要孩子的原因。
55．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Cathy and Wayne N. who have been married five years are in their late 20’s and childless. The last time a member of Cathy’s family asked, “When are you going to start a family?” Her answer was “We are a family!”(凯西和韦恩已经结婚5年了，他们都快30岁了，没有孩子。凯茜的家人最后一次问:“你什么时候成立一个家庭？”她的回答是:“我们是一家人！”)”可知，当问“你打算什么时候成立一个家庭”时，凯西的家人的意思是“你打算什么时候生孩子”。故选D。
56．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“A recent survey showed that in the last five years the percentage of wives aged 25 to 29 who did not want children had almost doubled and among those 18 to 24 it had almost tripled.(最近的一项调查显示，在过去五年中，25至29岁的妻子不想要孩子的比例几乎翻了一番，而在18至24岁的妻子中，这一比例几乎增加了两倍。)”和第三段“The Pecks insist neither they nor the organization is against parenthood, just against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want and need or not.(佩克斯夫妇坚称，他们和该组织都不反对为人父母，只是反对迫使人们为人父母的社会压力，不管他们是否真的想要和需要。)”可知，划线词所在的句子意思是：这个看似与生物学和社会背道而驰的决定背后隐藏着什么？由此可知，to fly in the face of意为“公然反对”。故选C。
57．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The Pecks insist neither they nor the organization is against parenthood, just against the social pressures that push people into parenthood whether it is what they really want and need or not.(佩克斯夫妇坚称，他们和该组织都不反对为人父母，只是反对迫使人们为人父母的社会压力，不管他们是否真的想要和需要。)”可知，佩克斯夫妇认为不应该在为人父母的问题上给夫妻施加压力。故选B。
58．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In a world seriously threatened by the consequences of overpopulation we’re concerned with making life without children acceptable and respectable.(在一个受到人口过剩后果严重威胁的世界里，我们关心的是如何让没有孩子的生活变得可以接受和受人尊敬。)”可知，根据艾伦的说法，人口过剩导致了我们今天面临的许多问题。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了科学家们应该用最严格和最怀疑的方法，无情地探索现实的结构。作者认为但是科学未能发展的更好的原因在于激励。大多数科学家对了解世界真的很感兴趣，而且是诚实的。激励的问题在于，它们可以在个人没有任何意图的情况下塑造文化规范。
59．细节理解他。根据第二段的“And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.(科学家们应该用最严格和最怀疑的方法，无情地探索现实的结构)”以及最后一段的“However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest.(然而，我相信大多数科学家对了解世界是真正感兴趣的，也是诚实的)”可知，总体上来说，科学家们一直致力于对现实的探索。故选A。
60．词句猜测题。根据第五段“It’s not like we don’t know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls on deaf ears.(并不是说我们不知道如何做得更好。研究科学方法的科学家已经知道可行的补救方法几十年了。不幸的是，他们的建议经常被置若罔闻)”可推知，deaf ears指的是大众，即大众经常对科学家的建议置若罔闻。故选A。
61．推理判断题。根据第七段的“Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. (由于对资源的这种竞争，必须对科学家进行评估和比较)”和第八段的“An oft-used metric (标准，度量) is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different.(一个常用的指标是一个人在同行评议期刊上发表的文章数量，以及这些期刊的地位。像这样的指标可以直接比较研究人员，否则他们的工作可能会有很大的不同)”推知，作者认为资源竞争促使研究人员以更有成效的方式发表文章。故选B。
62．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.(激励的问题在于，它们可以在个人没有任何意图的情况下形成文化规范)”可知，作者认为科学家的职业激励应该考虑他们的个人意愿。故选D。
