四、考查连词but与定语从句的相互干扰

大家知道，在含有定语从句的复合句中，我们是不能在主句与从句之间使用并列连词的。但是，命题者有时却会利用连词but与定语从句的相互干扰性来考查考生的辨别能力。如：

1. I don’t mind her criticizing me, but ______ is how she does it that I object to. (江西卷)

A. it                        B. that                        C. this                        D. which

【解析】A。此题考查it is...that…这一强调句句型。句意为：我不介意她批评我，我反对的是她批评我的方式。由于句中使用了并列连词but，所以绝对不能选D。

2. The doctor advised Vera strongly that she should take a holiday, but _____ didn’t help. (全国卷)

A. it                        B. she                        C. which                      D. he

【解析】A。用it代替前面整句话的内容。但若去掉but，则选which。(from www.nmet168.com)
