The factory was built in a secret place, around _________ high mountains.

　　A. which was B. it was C. which were D. them were

　　【陷阱】容易误选A或B，将A、B中的 which 和 it 误认为是其后句子的主语。

　　【分析】最佳答案是C，around which were high mountains 是一个由介词+which引出的非限制性定语从句，而在该从句中，主语是 high mountains，around which 是表语，所以句子谓语应用复数were，而不是用单数 was。请做以下类例题目（答案均为C）：

　　(1) Yesterday we visited a modern hospital, around _________ some fruit shops.

　　A. which is B. it is C. which are D. them are

　　(2) The murder happened in an old building, beside _________ the city police station.

　　A. which are B. it is C. which is D. them are

　　(3) Next month well move to a new building, next to _________ a nice restaurants where we can have Chinese food.

　　A. which are B. it is C. which is D. them are

　　2. A man with a bleeding hand hurried in and asked, Is there a hospital around _________ I can get some medicine for my wounded hand

　　A. that B. which C. where D. what

　　【陷阱】容易误选 B，认为 around 是介词，选 which 用以代替前面的名词 hospital，在此用作介词 around 的宾语。
