Answer

D

【解析】句意：----琳达，你能告诉我一些关于阿加莎·克里斯蒂的事吗？------好的。阿加莎·克里斯蒂是一位被认为写犯罪类小说的女王的女作家。“is considered as the queen of crime novels.”是定语从句，先行词是writer，先行词是人时，用引导词who或that；结合句意和语境可知选D。

点睛：定语从句:在复合句中作定语，用来修饰句子中某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。被修饰的名词或代词称为先行词;引导定语从句的连接词称为关系词,其中that、which、who称为关系代词,where、when、how称为关系副词。（1）关系代词who、whom和whose分别在从句中作主语、宾语和定语。which指物that多指物, 有时也指人,它们在从句中可以作主语或宾语。定语从句中关系代词作从句宾语时可以省略。例如，This is the thief (that/who/whom) we have been looking for these days. (这个就是我们近日一直在找的小偷。) /定语从句中关系代词作从句主语时不可以省略。例如，Please find a room which is big enough for all of us to live in. (请找一间足够大能住下我们全体的房间。) whose 是定语从句中一个常用的关系代词表示先行词与后面的名词是所属关系，意思是" …… 的…"；先行词既可是人也可是物，它可以指"人的…"也可以指"物的…",既可以引导限制性定语从句也可以引导非限制性定语从句。例如，The boys whose names were called stood up.（ 叫到名字的男孩们站了起来。）/ The house whose windows are broken is empty. (破了窗户的那座房子是空的。)（2）关系副词when或where引导定语从句时,它们在从句中分别作时间状语和地点状语。如:This is the room where they had a quarrel a week ago. (这是一个星期前他们吵架的房间。) / I can never forget the day when I first saw you. (我永远不会忘记第一次见到你的日子。) 1、关系代词只能用that的情况:当先行词是指事物的不定代词(all, anything等),或先行词部分含有最高级,或含有序数词时,不能用其他的关系代词,只能用that. 如:All that Lily told me seems untrue. (Lily告诉我的话似乎不真实。) 2、当关系代词紧跟在介词后面时,必须用which或whom,而当介词移到句尾时,则又可以使用that或who. 如:This is the room in which Miss Li once lived. (= This is the room Miss Li once lived in.) (这是李小姐曾经居住过的房间。)
