WHICH THAT的就近修饰和跳跃修饰整理

which that 就近与跳跃修饰

which 的用法

1、 WHICH 非限

1. which 指代主句宾语：s+verb+o,which 指代0（svo, which 指代s 一定错！）

2. which 指代主句主语s:s+verb,which

（1） 介词+which=连词

1.s+verb(+o)+prep+which

2.s+verb(+o), prep+which

区别 介词+that=名词

I will buy this book because from that I study a lot.(有because 作为连接词，不用“介词+which”结构连接)

I will buy this book from which I study a lot. （无连接词，需要用“介词+which”结构连接）

which 指代的三种情况：

1、 紧邻修饰

一般情况下，“名词，which”中的which 是就近修饰紧邻的名词的。这种例子多的不胜枚举。

一般例子就不用举了，只举个比较特别例子“A of B, which”（注：这里的of 表示从属关系）

1，The commission proposed that funding for development of the park, which could be open to the public early next year, be obtained through a local bond issue.

2,Construction of the Roman Colosseum, which was officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater, began in A.D.69, during the reign of Vespasian, and was completed the Colosseum with a one-hundred-day cycle of religious pageants, gladitorial games, and spectacles.

Flavian Amphitheatre： 福雷维安圆形剧场

3，In laboratory rats, a low dose of aspirin usually suffices to block production of thromboxane, a substance that promotes blood clotting, but does not seriously interfere with the production of prostacyclin, which prevents clotting.

thromboxane [生化]凝血噁烷，凝栓质，血栓素。阿斯匹林可以阻止血小板生成凝血恶烷 prostacyclin n.【生物化学、药物】环前列腺素，前列腺环素,

4，The survival of coral colonies, which are composed of innumerable tiny polyps living in a symbiotic relationship with brilliantly colored algae, is being threatened, experts say, not only by pollutants such as agricultural runoff, oil slicks, and trash, but also by dropped anchors, probing divers, and global warming.,

5，In attempting to solve the problems caused by a lowering of the price of oil, oil companies operating in the North Sea have taken a variety of approaches, which include reducing employment, using new technology to pump oil more efficiently from smaller fields, and finding innovative ways to cut the cost of building and operating platforms.,

这些例子都能说明从属关系“A of B，which”中的which 就近修饰紧邻的名词B 。但是需要注意的是，在“SVO,which ”句型中，如果which 指代S 一定错误，which 如果指代主语，这样使用:s+verb,which

2、 跳跃修饰

在前有“核心词+介词、分词等修饰结构”或者插入语的情况下，which 跳跃修饰前面的核心词，不能修饰紧邻的名词。 下面是几个例子：

From the bark of the paper birch tree the Menomini crafted a canoe about twenty feet long and two feet wide, with small ribs and rails of cedar, which could carry four persons could easily portage it around impeding rapids.

(A) baggage so light

(B) baggage being so light

(C) baggage, yet being so light

(D) baggage, and so light

(E) baggage yet was so light

答案：E

这句话的which 离其所应该修饰的核心词canoe 很远，中间隔了一个插入语，还隔了个介词结构about…，但只要知道核心词是canoe 就能一目了然找到which 应该指的是什么。这里不能修饰紧邻的名词cedar 。

OG12-26

Emily Dickinson’s letters to Susan Huntington

A,Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumbering

B,Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ended shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

C,Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and that ends shortly before Emily’s death in 1886and outnumbering

D,Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother, ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, and outnumbering

E,Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan’s marriage to Emily’s brother and ending shortly before Emily’s death in 1886, outnumber

这句话的which 不能修饰其紧邻的名词Susan Huntington Dickinson ，必须跳过介词结构to…，修饰核心词letter 。 Unlike most other mergers in the utility industry, which have been driven by the need to save money and extend companies’ service areas, the merger of the nation’s leading gas company and leading electric company is intended to create a huge network for marketing the utilities in question

as states open their utility markets to competition.

这句话的which 不能修饰其紧邻的名词utility industry，必须跳过介词结构in…，修饰核心词merger 。

In order to protect English manufacturers of woolen goods against both American and Irish competition, England passed the Woolens Act of 1698, which prohibited the export of woolen cloth beyond a colony's borders.

这里的which 不能修饰紧邻的1698，必须跳过介词结构of 1968修饰前面的核心词act 。

One pervasive theory explains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline in horse ownership and a subsequent grain glut

Glut n. （商品）供过于求；大量

The Forbidden City in Beijing, from which the emperors ruled by heavenly mandate, was a site which no commoner or foreigner could enter without permission, on pain of death.

有人这里会说这不是A of B，which 吗？which 应该紧邻修饰啊？其实不然，因为of 1968和前面的那些A of B实际上用法不一样，这里是表示时间而不是“从属关系”。这个时间应该归在介词结构一类，所以要跳过。

on pain of违者以…论处

OG12SC107

archaeology, and criminology.

(A) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, a

technique called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(B) Originally developed for detecting air pollutants, having the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it, a technique called proton-induced X-ray emission

(C) A technique originally developed for detecting air

pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray emission, which can quickly analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance without destroying it,

(D) A technique originally developed for detecting air

pollutants, called proton-induced X-ray emission, which has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without destroying it,

(E) A technique that was originally developed for detecting air pollutants and has the ability to analyze the chemical elements in almost any substance quickly and without

destroying the substance, called proton- induced X-ray emission,

答案（A ）

答案中which 发生跳跃指代，而且emission 不处于介词短语中，这句话的which 不能修饰其紧邻的名词emission ，必须跳过分词修饰结构called …，修饰核心词technique 。

注意这不是 SVO,which 指代S 了而是called proton-induced X-ray emission分词形式做后置修饰定语。 GWD-10-Q2: GWD-11-10

precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

A, Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is B,Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, but which is C,Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become

D,Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become

E,Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the

telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,

答案为C 。 B 为啥不好？

因为选B 会有which 修饰telephone 的错误，which 应该修饰radio 的。虽然which 可以跳跃，但是逻辑上都可以完成从句动作的时候，应该是就近优先的，即使逻辑上完成不了从句的动作，跳跃也难保不会被判错，所以尽可能不跳跃修饰。GMAT 题干中曾经用到可以跳跃的which ，which 跳跃是可以接受的，但是正确选项中很少出现过which 跳跃修饰的情况，几乎都被其他结构替代了，这说明如果有可以替代的正确选项，那么尽量不要选跳跃修饰的which ，因为可能有歧义。

C 可以避免歧义，it 一般不指代介词短语中的名词，优先指代主语，如果主语是人或者复数不能指代，则指代宾语，我不知道这题的radio 还算不算宾语，但是至少你读出这个句子的时候，它确实相当于一个宾语，至少算一个核心词。

目前只见过A of B/A in B，which 可以指代A ，主要都发生在介词短语中。A 选项可以我理解是因为CALLED 从句表达的只是tech 的另一个名字而已，本质上是同一东西，指代谁逻辑上都没有歧义。目前我找到的which 强悍地跳跃，无视前面的名词的非常少，而且基本都不出现在选项中，都是未画线部分。但是，可以跳跃不是意味着必定跳跃，当which 前面有很多个名词的时候，不是只要有一个正确，which 就会自动地正确地指代到那个词的。相反，GMAT 会优先判断这是修饰混乱。所以，最好不要有跳跃指代，如果非跳不可，最好是使用单复数区分which 的指代词。

归纳一下，会发现which 之所以要跳过介词结构是因为：其原本应该紧邻所修饰的核心名词，但是因为which 的内容太长，而介词、分词等修饰结构又很短，所以把which 结构后置了。

3、 特别情况 A and B, which

这个which 到底修饰谁呢？是A ？是B ？还是A and B？ 我觉得这里正确修饰方法的原则只有一个：没有歧义。

如果A and B中的B 为复数（Bs ），which 后面动词也是复数，which 指代会有歧义，让人不知道which 到底指的是什么。 As and Bs, which are (which指Bs? 或 which 指As and Bs？)

A and Bs, which are (which指Bs ？或 which 指A and Bs？) 下面情况没有歧义：

如果A 和B 都是单数，which 后面动词复数，没有歧义，which 修饰A and B。

如果B 是单数（不管A 是单数还是复数），which 后面动词也

是单数，没有歧义，which 修饰B 。

如果B 是复数（不管A 是单数还是复数）则必须要用which together ，没有歧义，这时which 修饰A and Bs。 举两个例子：

The human nervous system bears a superficial resemblance to a telephone system both because the former carries information in the form of electrical impulses and because all of its neural pathways converge in the brain and spinal cord, which together form a kind of central exchange.

Unlike the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which were capable of carrying sufficient power in fuel cells and

batteries for their short flights, a permanently orbiting space station will have to generate its own electricity.

其实which 的指代问题肯定不会只有这些，而且最准确判断which 指代的方法是通过句子的逻辑意思，但是在实战中有个别GMAT 题目的很难判断本意，所以准备写大方向性的小结还是必要的。

波罗的海

答案D 为啥A 不对？

which 是可以跳过介词短语或者插入语的，但是不能跳过谓语动词。“svo, which 指代s 一定错！！！”但这题中which 跳跃多远都不对，这里WHICH 是指代前面整个句子的意思，而这在GMAT 中是一定错的。sediments are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there逻辑意思有错误，只有finding ，result ，means ，forms 之类的抽象名词才能be consistent with , 某个具体的东西不行。

B. due to its being so genetically similar the ant considers all its fellows to be a close relative and thus does not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limit

C. because it is so genetically similar, the ant considers all its fellows to be close relatives and thus does not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limits

D. because they are so genetically similar to one another, the ants consider all their fellows to be close relatives and thus do not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limit

E. because of being so genetically similar to one another, the ants consider all their fellows to be a close relative and thus do not engage in the kind of fierce intercolony struggles that limits 答案D 不是直接考that 指代，它考到了谓语单复数问题，that 这里的指代the kind of fierce intercolony struggles 名词词组, 所以limit 用单数.

(B) twice as many apples as it did

(C) as much as twice the apples it has

(D) two times as many apples as there were

(E) a doubling of the apples that it did

Choice B, the best answer, correctly uses the adverbial phrase twice as many... to modify the verb produces; properly employs many rather than much to describe a quantity made up of

countable units (apples); and appropriately substitutes did for the understood produced to express the logically necessary past tense of produces. Choice A awkwardly substitutes the adjective

double for twice; uses that without a clear referent; and misuses has to refer to events occurring in 1910. Choice C employs the incorrect much in a wordy construction and also misuses has. D is wordy and imprecise;... as there were in 1910 refers to all apples produced in 1910, regardless of location.

(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable; (E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

In choices A and C, the construction that still has ..., and where modifies Minnesota with clauses that are not grammatically parallel. In choice B, the omission of and illogically makes the where ... clause modify wolf population rather than

Minnesota --that is, choice B says in effect that the wolf

population is where the wolf remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep. Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota.

prep 2-River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular attraction.

(B) Unlike the river in many cities in the United States, which is no longer the focal point of urban life, in San Antonio the river

(C) Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life, unlike San Antonio, where it

(D) In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San Antonio

(E) No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in San Antonio the river

答案为E ，never 、on longer等否定词在句首需要倒装. 我选了B ，解释说B 中which 错误指代United States ，但是有介词短语不是可以跳跃修饰吗，于是跳过两个介词短语in the United States和in many cities ，不就正确修饰the river 了吗？

B 的开头为“Unlike in many cities in the United States”，而原文中则是“Unlike many United States cities, where ...”，且从意思上来看泛指更符合逻辑。此处的which 跳跃指代产生了指代不清的后果，不能选B.

B 中which is no longer the focal point of urban life

D 中a river is the focal point of urban life,

E 中have a river as the focal point of urban life

无论B 和D ，简化一下都是a river is the focal point ，E 中是have a river as the focal point 主系表结构，是要表达主语的属性的，本题中the focal point 不是river 的属性，所以不能用主系表结构

a river is the focal point应该表达成a river locates in the focal point

换句话说the focal point 不是river 的属性，而是river 的状语.
