问题 The Social Security Retirement Program is made up of two trust funds, ______could go penniless by next year.
选项 A、the larger one
B、the larger of which
C、the largest one
D、the largest of which
答案B
解析 这是一个含有非限定性定语从句的句子，关系代词which的先行词是two trustfunds。解答此题可以从两方面入手。第一，逗号两边是两个完整的句子，需要有连接手段将它们连接起来，而选择项A、C中没有起连接作用的词，因此应排除；第二，句子前半部提到two trust funds，两种事物或人之间进行比较，应用比较级larger，而thelargest是最高级形式，只能用于三种以上事物或人之间的比较，据此可以断定B是唯一正确的答案。关系代词which既引导非限定性定语从句，使前后两句成为从属结构，又在从句中作介词of的宾语，与the larger一起构成从句的主语，相当于the larger(one)of the two trust funds。又如： There are two spare rooms in this building，thelarger of which is provided with modern facilities．这栋楼里有两个闲置的房间，较大的一个装备有现代设施。题句意为：社会保障退休规划由两项信托资金构成，较大的一项到明年可能全部用完。
