A. that B. it C. what D. which 答案：D
解析：句意“这家新建的墙体被涂成浅绿色的咖啡厅对我们而言确实是个安静的场所，尤其是在辛苦工作之后”。先行词为the newly-built cafe，代入定语从句后为：the walls of the newly-built cafe are painted light green，因为关系代词在从句中作介词的宾语且指物，故用which。

12.(2010湖南) I’ve become good friends with several of the students in my school __________ I met in the English speech contest last year.
A. who B. where C. when D. which
答案：A
解析：句意“我已经成为去年在英语演讲比赛中所遇到的我校几位学生的好朋友”。先行词为several of the students，代入定语从句后为：I met several of the students in the English speech contest last year.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作宾语，先行词指人，故用who / whom / that引导，故答案为A。

13.(2009北京) — What do you think of teaching, Bob?
— I find it fun and challenging. It is a job __________ you are doing something serious but interesting.
A. where B. which C. when D. that
答案：A
解析：句意“鲍勃，你认为教学这样的工作怎么样？”“我觉得它既有趣又具有挑战性。教学工作是一份严肃且有趣的工作”。先行词是a job，把先行词代入定语从句后为：… in the job you are doing something serious but interesting.由此可见，先行词job在定语从句中作in的宾语，in the job在定语从句中作状语，故用关系副词，排除B、D两项；job不表时间，故排除when。

14.(2009福建) It’s helpful to put children in a situation __________ they can see themselves differently.
A. that B. when C. which D. where
答案：D
解析：句意“把孩子放在一个能使他们从另外一个角度认识自己的环境中对他们有益”。先行词是situation，代入定语从句后为：They can see themselves differently in the situation.由此可见，先行词在定语从句中作状语，故用关系副词，而when表“时间”，不符合本题要求，只有where符合本题要求。当先行词是situation，point，case等，且先行词在定语从句中作状语时，常用关系副词where引导定语从句。

15.(2009江苏) Because of the financial crisis, days are gone __________ local 5-star hotels charged 6,000 yuan for one night.
A. if B. when C. which D. since
答案：B
解析：句意“由于经济危机，在当地五星级酒店住一个晚上就要6,000元的日子一去不复返了”。先行词是days，代入定语从句后为：Local 5-star hotel charged 6,000 yuan for one night during the days.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作时间状语，故用关系副词when。这道题的难点在于先行词days和其定语从句when local 5-star hotels charged 6,000 yuan for one night被谓语部分隔开了。

16.(2009陕西) Gun control is a subject __________ Americans have argued for a long time.
A. of which B. with which C. about which D. into which
答案：C
解析：句意“枪械管制是美国人争论了很长时间的一个话题”。此题考查“介词 + 关系代词”引导的定语从句。先行词为subject，带入定语从句后为：Americans have argued about the subject for a long time.由此可见，先行词在定语从句中作介词about的宾语，about提前，故用关系代词which。argue with sb. about / over sth.与某人争论某事。

17.(2009浙江) I have reached a point in my life __________ I am supposed to make decisions of my own.
A. which B. where C. how D. why
答案：B
解析：句意“我已经到了应该为自己做决定的那个人生阶段了”。本题考查定语从句，先行词是point，代入定语从句后：I am supposed to make decisions of my own at the point.由此可见先行词在定语从句中作状语，故用关系副词where。高考对定语从句的考查，从明确表地点的名词作先行词，转为“地点的模糊化”。

18.(2008陕西) The man pulled out a gold watch, __________ were made of small diamonds.
A. the hands of whom B. whom the hands of C. which the hands of D. the hands of which
答案：D

19.(2008江西) Later in this chapter cases will be introduced to readers __________ consumer complaints have resulted in changes in the law.
A. where B. when C. who D. which
答案：A
解析：句意“在这个章节后面，将给读者介绍一些案例，在这些案例中消费者的投诉使法律发生了变化”。先行词为cases，代入定语从句后为：In the cases, consumer complaints have resulted in changes in the law.由此可知in the cases在定语从句中作状语，cases属“地点状语的模糊化”，故用关系副词where。本题中所出现的定语从句为分隔性定语从句。

20.(2007四川) It is reported that two schools, __________ are being built in my hometown, will open next year.
A. they both B. which both C. both of them D. both of which

21.(2007天津) Those successful deaf dancers think that dancing is an activity __________ sight matters more than hearing.
A. when B. whose C. which D. where
