一、雅思阅读真题例句：

1. 形容词做定语

Johnson himself wasstationed on a  rickety  chair at an “old crazy deal table”.（C5P17L1）

2. 名词做定语

There was no standardway of speaking or spelling and no agreement as to the best way of bringingsome order to the chaos of  English  spelling.（C5P16L4）

3. 代词做定语

For all  its  fault and eccentricities  his  two-volume work is a masterpiece and alandmark.（C5P17R17）

4. 介词短语做定语

He adopted hisdefinitions on the principle  ofEnglish common law .（C5P17L22）

5. 数词做定语

He was also helped by  six  assistant.（C5P17L4）

6. 不定式做定语

A few years ago, inone of the most fascinating and disturbing experiments in behavioralpsychology, Stanley Milgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects from allwalks of life for their willingness  to obey instructions  given by a ‘leader’ in a situation in whichthe subjects might feel a personal distaste for the actions they were calledupon to perform.

7. 动名词做定语

James Boswell, hisbiographer, described the garret where Johnson worked as ‘fitted up a like acounting house’ with a long desk running down the middle at which the  copying  clerks would work standing up.（C5P16R26）

8. 分词做定语

As the experimentunfolded, the pupil would be deliberately give the wrong answers to questions  posed by the teacher .（C5P20L19）

分析：posed是一个分词（也称为过去分词），即表示被动的意思，相当于一个形容词，虽然长得跟动词过去时一样，但不是动词过去时，动词过去时和过去分词如何区分？只要看这里是讲动词发生在过去（就是动词过去时）还是表示被动（就是过去分词）即可。

9. 定语从句

（1）Like the various dictionaries  that came after it during the seventeenthcentury , Cawdray’s tended to concentrate on ‘scholarly’ words.（C5P16L14）

分析：that引导的一个定语从句，用来修饰dictionaries这个先行词。that在定语从句中充当成分（主语），因为came是个谓语动词，前面缺个主语。

（2）He was to be paid 1575 pounds in installments, and from this he tookmoney to rent 17 Gough Square,  inwhich he set up his ‘dictionary workshop’ .（C5P16R22）

分析：in which（介词+which）引导的一个定语从句，我们试着把in which盖住，发现对于后面整个定语从句并没有影响，说明它是不作成分的。这个介词从何而来？可以试着把后面的定语从句和前面被修饰的先行词联系起来，这样你就看出来了。He set up his ‘dictionary workshop’ in the 17 Gough Square.可以看出缺个in这个介词，缺什么介词这里就补什么，然后自动添上which。
