Beijing.Who充当从句主语，省略后后面动词为主动语态，省略为c o m in g,因此句子为I know thegirl coming form Beijing.(2)I have a dog which is named King.which 充当从句主语，省略之后后面动词为被动语态，省略为nam ed,因此句子为I have a dog named King.【词汇】hostn.主人，主持人；v.主持 a host o f表 示“许多”disable v t.使无能，使残废一注意写作句型中的enable sb.to do sth.使某人做某事disabled ad j.残废的，有缺陷的offend v

needs of the workmen 是宾语，employed by the company 引导分词结构做后置定语，修饰前面的workmen,in which he held shares是定语从句修饰前面的companyo【词汇】shareholder股东as such这样的have no knowledge o f
