Question

Ancient Rome was a country ______ culture influenced the western world for centuries.

A．that

B．which

C．whose

D．where

Answer 1

C

试题分析：句意：古罗马是一个它的文化影响了西方好几个世纪的国家。这里是定语从句，先行词是country，关系词在从句中作定语， whose可以作定语，它可以指某人的或某物的都可以，故选C。
点评：本题难度适中。定语从句是高考常考的内容，需要考生有分析理解复杂的句子结构的能力，熟练掌握关系词的意义及句法功能。
即学即练：A large number of students give messages to their close friends through this radio club, ______hosts are all their schoolmates.
A. that          B. of which         C. which      D. whose
解析：D。句意：考查非限制性定语从句。whose 在从句中作定语，修饰hosts。
