从since
【典型例题】
1. He was educated at a local grammar school, ______ he went on to Cambridge. (2005年山东卷)
A. from
which
2. The book was written in 1946, ______ the education system has witnessed great changes. (2007年山东卷)
A.
when
【典例分析】
1. 句意:他在当地一所文法学校上学,之后他便去了剑桥。根据句意可排除A、D两项;after that意为“然后,之后”,但不能引导一个定语从句,因此B项也被排除;after which相当于and after that,不但符合语境,而且能引导定语从句,故答案为C。
2. 句意:该书写于1946年,从那以后教育制度已经历了巨大变化。根据从句中的现在完成时态和句意,我们可排除A、B两项;短语since then意为“从那以后”,但不能引导一个定语从句,因此也排除了C项;故此处应选D项,since when相当于and since then,它能引导一个定语从句。
【同类例句】
除了上述例题外,我们还回见到下面的例子:
1. At home, he never seems to have time until after 10:30 pm, by which time his children have gone to bed.
= At home, he never seems to have time until after 10:30 pm, and by that time his children have gone to bed.
在家里,他好像十点半之后才有空,到那时孩子们已上床睡觉了。
2. We were next-door neighbors for three years, during which time we met only twice.
= We were next-door neighbors for three years, and during this/that time we met only twice.
我们做了三年隔壁邻居,在此期间我们只见过两次面。
3. It occurred to him that it would save a lot of trouble to destroy the advertisement, in which case, he would have to explain to Peter.
=It occurred to him that it would save a lot of trouble to destroy the advertisement, but in that case, he would have to explain to Peter.
4. I was told my work was unsatisfactory, at which point I submitted my resignation.
= I was told my work was unsatisfactory, and at this/that point I submitted my resignation.
5. He is studying economics, which knowledge is pretty important today.
= He is studying economics, and this knowledge is pretty important today.
6. He stood by the window, from where he could see what was happening outside.
= He stood by the window, and from there he could see what was happening outside.
【小结点拨】
根据上面的例句,我们不妨做出如下总结:①带有this, that的短语,引导定语从句时,要将this, that变为which;②带有here, there的短语,引导定语从句时,要将here, there变为where;③带有then, now的短语,引导定语从句时,要将then, now变为when;④带有one's的短语,引导定语从句时,要将one's变为whose。
【自我小测】

【答案】1. C
【2007年全国英语竞赛高二级决赛】
That was written in 1946, since______the education system has undergone great changes.
A then
〖分析〗:先分析后面的句子,成分全都齐全了,而A和C都不可引导定语从句,所以可排除。剩下B、D。而一般会误选D。但是因为后面的主要成分不缺,而"which"显然在此也不指代前面的整句话,所以不选D。选"when"指代前边的"in 1946"。不要逗号变成并列句改动如下:
That was written in 1946
把逗号改为句号,变成两个简单句,改动如下:
That was written in 1946.
【2007年山东卷高考第35题】
The book was written in 1946, _________ the education system has witnessed great changes.
A.when
〖分析〗:考查since when的用法。若选A、B项,则与题干中的时态has witnessed不符。since then不能引导定语从句,排除C。since表示“自……以来”,常与完成时连用。注意题干中含非限制性定语从句,when是关系副词,since when相当于and since 1946。
