Question

In the police station I saw the man from ________ room the thief had stolen the TV set.

A. whomB. whichC. thatD. whose

Answer

D

【解析】

试题分析：考查定语从句。先行词为the man，用whose指前面的先行词，whose又作定语修饰名词room。句意：在警察局，我看到了这个人从他的房间小偷偷走了他的电视。故选D。

定语从句中whose的用法

1.whose为who的所有格，作“某(些)人的……”解，它所指代的先行词必须是人，其引导的定语从句修饰它的先行词，同时它本身在从句中作定语。This is the little girl whose parents were killed in the great earthquake.这就是在那次大地震中失去双亲的那个小姑娘。

2.whose也可作which的所有格，作“某(些)物的……”解，它所指代的先行词必须是物，其语法功能同上。

We live in a house whose windows open to the south.

我们居住在一所窗户朝南开的房子里。

3.whose可修饰定语从句中的主语、宾语、介词宾语等不同成分。

Mr King，whose legs were badly hurt，was quickly taken to hospital.金先生的腿受了重伤，很快就被送往医院。(whose修饰定语从句中的主语legs)

4.whose既可引导限制性定语从句，亦可引导非限制性定语从句。

The boss in whose department Mr King worked called at the hospital.金先生工作单位的老板到医院来探视。(限制性定语从句)；The boss of the company，whose name was Mr Little，told the story.公司的老板叫利特尔，他讲述了这个故事。(非限制性定语从句)

5.由于whose具有兼作who和 which的所有格的双重功能，故在指人时可用of whom代替whose，指物时可用of which代替whose。

This kind of book is for children whose native language(=the native language of whom)is Chinese.这种书是给母语是汉语的儿童看的。

Mr Brown has written a novel whose name(=the name of which)I've completely forgotten.布朗先生写了部小说，其书名我完全忘了。

I live in a room whose window(=the window of which)opens to the south. 我住在一间窗户朝南开的屋子里。
