单选题
To facilitate our efficiency, management has purchased more than 50 desktop computers, many of ______ are to be installed in the accounting section.
- (A) them
- (B) it
- (C) what
- (D) which
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[理由] 空格内若置入(A)项them,则两句缺少连接词连接,属错误结构:
To facilitate our efficiency, management has purchased more than 50 desktop computers, many of them are to be installed in the accounting section.(×)
上句可将them改为关系代词which,形成定语从句,以修饰之前的先行词more than 50 desktop computers(50多部台式电脑)。
由上得知,凡从属从句中有数量词(如:one、two、three、four、some、many、most),之后又有介词of时,之后均可置关系代词whom(代替人)或which(代替事或物),以引导定语从句,修饰句中的先行词。
[例] Mr. Johnson has taught many students, some of them have become great scientists.(×,两句无连接词连接)
→ Mr. Johnson has taught many students, some of whom have become great scientists.(√)
(约翰逊先生教过许多学生,当中的一些成了优秀的科学家。)
