  定语从句常用于书面语中，在近些年来高考中经常会考查，因此掌握定语从句的基本概念、结构与特点对于语言理解具有相当重要的意义。在高考试题中，多考查引导定语从句的关系代词和关系副词，区别限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句。总结最近十年来高考单项填空试题中所考查到的定语从句，发现一共有七种类型，本文将此作一具体分析：
第一种类型：

一、Choosing what to eat is no longer as easy as it once was.（U.13）
   

    强调句型是英语中的一种重要的句子结构，它是英语学习者必须掌握的一种重要句型，因而在高考英语试卷中占有一席之地，且其命题从基本结构重点难点的角度切入。本文拟结合高考试题对强调句型的各个方面作如下归纳。

Anne Whitney, a sophomore(大学二年级学生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem with taking tests when she began college. “I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer

今年的高考英语有什么新动向，如何备战才能获得高分？在日前由《中国电脑教育报》和DEC中恒联合举办的21世纪语言与情景教学高级专家论坛上，来自北京外国语大学、清华大学、北京大学等知名学府和权威语言教学机构的英语教育专家透露：今年高考英语将更加突出语言的整体运用功能，“情景”考察的比重进一步加大，所有题型从听力到书面表达无不是在语境中进行词汇、语法等单项的考察。专家提醒广大考生，要彻底丢弃过去那种死记硬背单词、生呑活剥语法的“头痛医头脚痛医脚”式复习方法，从整体上把握英语，以能力的提高为应试的基石，否则难获高分。
专家分析说，近几年高考英语单项选择一般是15道题，其中有10道题是直接在语境中进行考察的，只有5道题或者是句子结构分析或者词义辨析，即使是纯结构和辨析题也都包含一定

其实高考当中非常重要的就是第一句，第一句写好了很重要。老外写文章和我们中国人写文章不太一样，干脆上来就点题，比如人家让你介绍一下自己，你首先就介绍我是哪年出生的，不要拐弯抹角的又是引这个，又是引那个的。我觉得最重要的是开门见山，当然英语写作文的时候肯定不是一个小问题，我怎么能够入题。高考写作文有四个比较重要的要求，第一个是您的内容要点得全，所以在考试写作文的时候要把人家主要让你写什么东西搞清楚了，第二个交际对象得明确，大家知道我们语言交际当中非常重要的就是碰什么人说什么话。2000年的时候考了一个给警察写的交通报告，你和警察说话与你和妈妈说话肯定是不一样的了。
第三个要求你语言上表达准确，表达最好是地道点。第四个要求不但是语言上要准确，而且要求最好是地道的表达，顺畅的连接和新颖的词汇

I.名词 
1. Because prices of food and clothing and almost everything else in that country have steadily gone up, the buying          of the dollar has gone down.

Aristotle summed up the four qualities of money some 2，000 years ago．It must be lasting and easy to recognize，to divide，and to carry about．When we think of money today，we picture it either as round，flat pieces of metal which we call coins or as printed paper notes．But there are still parts of the world today where coins and notes
