Which在什么从句中指代前文整个句子

在非限制性定语从句中，which可以指代前文所述内容。例如：

Pollution is becoming a serious problem around the world,which has drawn worldwide attention to it.

但是，需要注意的是，which引导非限制性定语从句，不能放在句首。要放在句首时，需要用As.

例如：
As we all know/is known to all,China is still a developing country.

当然，as引导非限制性定语从句，也可以放在句中。例如：
The elephant is like a snake ,as anybody can see.

#==================
如: 为什么第二空前which指代前面一整句话而不是前面一句话的最后一个词

此句为非限制性定语从句。
