练习
1、From Warming up, Pre-reading and Reading, pick out the sentences that use the
attributive clauses with that/which/who/where/when. The fourth sentence is
given.
①It is your job to look into any reports of cultural relics that have been found
in China.
②You are sent to a small town where you find a relic that was stolen from a palace.
③Think of a cultural relic you know about.
④The gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because almost seven
thousand tons of amber were used to make it.
⑤Later, Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to the palace outside St
Petersburg where she spent her summers.
⑥In 1770, the room was completed the way she wanted it.
⑦This was a time when the two countries were at war.
2、Look at the fourth sentence carefully. Have you noticed it is different from the
others? There is a comma before the relative pronoun which. The relative clause
carries extra information that is not necessary to identify the person or thing
being discussed. This is a non-restrictive attributive clause while the other
sentences have restrictive attributive clauses. Now join the pairs of sentences
using that/which/who/whose/where/when without commas.
