同样的问题，我查到了类似的解答，给后面的同学一起参考吧。

那么问题来了，GMAT考试中到底能否用which引导限制性定语从句呢?
首先，我们在韦氏字典里查一下which的用法，其中可以做形容词和代词，其中代词引导定语从句的用法参考that的用法第四条，于是继续看that的用法，that用法第四条指出：
That, which: Although some handbooks say otherwise, that and which are both regularly used to introduce restrictive clauses in edited prose. Which is also used to introduce nonrestrictive clauses. That was formerly used to introduce nonretrictive clauses; such use is virtually nonexistent in present-day edited prose, though it may occasionally be found in poetry.
上面这段话的内容其实就是高中老师教的：that和which都可以引导限制性定语从句，现代英语的用法只能用which引导非限制性定语从句。
其次，我们在牛津字典里查一下which的用法，有下面一段描述：
Is there any difference between the use of that and which in sentences such as any book that gets children reading is worth having, and any book which gets children reading is worth having? The genearl rule in British English is that, in restrictive relative clauses, where the relative clause serves define or restrict the reference to the particular one described, which can replace that. However, in non-restrictive relative clauses, where the relative clause servers only to give additional information, that cannot be used: this book, which is set in last century, is very popular with teenagers but not this book, that is set in the last century, is very popular with teenagers. In US English which is generally used only for non-restrictive relative clauses.
上面这段话除了最后一句话，和韦氏字典表达意思是一样的，最后一句说：在美式英语中，which只是用来引导非限制性定语从句。
最后，我们再看看经典的GMAT句子改错书籍《ManhattanPrep Sentence Correction the 5th Edition》里是怎么说的：
the GMAT has acknowledged that this which/that differentiation is controversial, so the GMAT is unlikely to make this distinction the make-or-break issue for any answer choice.
上面这段话的意思是GMAT觉得which/that之间的区分是有争议的，所以GMAT不会在选项中去区分。
有意思的是，在第六版中，ManhattanPrep把上面这段话删掉了，呵呵。
看了这么多解释，我们能回答“GMAT考试中到底能否用which引导限制性定语从句”吗?答案是：从目前的真题来看，没有这么用的。在实战中或真题练习中，不要把这个知识点作为首要排查点。 |
