在非限制性定语从句中如何判断先行词

He reached Beijing in 1998, ______, some time later, he became a professor.

答案是 where。请问老师先行词是 Beijing 吗？在非限制定语从句中怎么确定先行词呢？这样写是不是更好呢？

In 1998, he reached Beijing, where he became a professor some time later.

感谢老师。

1. He reached Beijing in 1998, ______, some time later, he became a professor.

没错，答案填 where，定语从句所修饰的先行词就是 Beijing。在非限制定语从句中，判断先行词的最直接方法就是看句意。在此句中，有可能成为先为先行词的有两个：一个是 Beijing，一个是 in 1998。但根据句中的 some time later 可知，先行词不太可能是 in 1998（否则意思不通），所以确定先行词是 Beijing。

2. 像下面这样改写是不是更好呢？就这个单句来看，你的改写有可能“更好”，但在一定的上下文中，就得考虑前后连贯和衔接。

In 1998, he reached Beijing, where he became a professor some time later.
