强调句“强调”就是使句子的某一部分比一般情况下显得更加重要。英语表达中,要强调句子的某一成分,一般可用强调句型“Itis(was)+that(who)+句子的其余部分”。It在句中无意义,只起引出被强调部分的作用。被强调的部分指人时,除可用that外,还可换用who(强调宾语指人时也可用whom)。使用强调句型时,应注意以下事项:一、去掉强调结构Itis(was)…that(who)…后,剩下的词仍能组成一个完整的句子。这是判断是不是强调句型的关键。试比较:1.Itisstrangethathedidn’tcomeyesterday.2.ItisyouandTomthatdidn’tcomeyesterday.1.Itiswhatyoudoratherthanwhatyousay____matters.(05天津)A.thatB.whatC.whichD.this答案A。这是一个强调主语的强调句型,去掉强调结构,剩下的是Whatyoudoratherthanwhatyousaymatters.表意完整。2.Thatwasreallyasplendidevening.It’syears____Ienjoyedmyselfsomuch.A.whenB.thatC.beforeD.since(05安徽)答案D。由强调句型的判断方法可知,该句不是强调句型。It指时间,句意为:好几年我没有这么高兴了。since的意思是“自从那个时候起”。二、如果强调时间、地点、原因或方式状语时,不可用when,where,why或how,而仍用that。试比较:Itwasbecauseoftheaccidentwhyhewaslate.(误),Itwasbecauseoftheaccidentthathewaslate.(正)。又如:1.Itwasnotuntilmidnight____theyreachedthecampsite.(08重庆)A.thatB.whenC.whileD.as答案A。2.Itwasafterhegotwhathehaddesired____herealizeditwasnotsoimportant.(06辽宁)A.thatB.whenC.sinceD.as答案A。该句强调时间状语从句afterhegotwhathehaddesired,题干意思是“得到他所梦寐以求的东西后他才意识到一切都不那么重要”。不要误选B。3.ItwasinNewZealand___ElizabethfirstmetMr.Smith.(08全国II)A.thatB.howC.whichD.when答案A。强调地点状语inNewZealand.三、注意强调句型的否定句和疑问句形式,在这方面很容易因弄不清句子结构而错选。如:1.Ijustwonder____thatmakeshimsoexcited.(06山东)A.whyitdoesB.whathedoesC.howitisD.whatitis答案D。正常语序的强调句型容易看出,但要注意它的变体。如果把该题变换一下语序:itiswhatthatmakeshimsoexcited,不难看出这是强调句型的特殊疑问句形式,强调了疑问代词what,因为wonder后宾语从句,故用了陈述语序。2.Itwasnotuntilshegothome____Jenniferrealizedshehadlostherkeys.A.whenB.thatC.whereD.before(06全国卷二)答案B。如果去掉强调结构,该句是一个“not…until”句型:Jenniferdidn’trealizeshehadlostherkeysuntilshegothome.要强调时间状语untilshegothome,这时要把主句中的否定词not放在was之后。四、强调主语时,that或who后面的谓语动词的形式仍然取决于原句中的主语;be的变化只有is和was两种形式,如果要表示现在时将来时的其它各种形式时,就用Itis…,表达过去时的各种形式时,用Itwas….一般要与谓语动词的时态一致。如:1.ItisIwho/thatamanEnglishteacher.2.Itistheboywho/thatspeaksEnglishbestintheclass.3.ItwasonSundaythathegaveGeorgethisticket.4.Itisthelittlegirlwho/thathasbrokentheglass.五、在复习中有可能把Itis/was…that句式都误认为是强调句型的几种情况:1、把具有实际意义的指示代词it后面接is/was…that误认为是强调句式。---Wheredidyougettoknowher?(07山东)---Itwasonthefarm____weworked.A.thatB.thereC.whichD.where答案D。该句易误作强调句型,所以A是强干扰项。这里whereweworked是定语从句,修饰thefarm。It指“与她相识”这件事。该题很容易受思维定势的影响而拒绝选D,因为平日教学老师一再强调,用强调句型时即使强调地点状语,也不能用where而用that。该句如果要用itwas…that强调句型的话,可改写为“ItwasonthefarmwhereweworkedthatIgottoknowher.”2、把it指时间、天气、距离、环境等后接be的情形误以为是强调句型。Itwastwentymilesfromourcitytothevillage____theaccidenthappened.A.thatB.whenC.thenD.where答案D。本题貌似Itwas…that强调句型,其实不然。句中It表示距离,where引导地点状语从句。3、把Itis/was…that结构的主语从句误认为是强调句型。TheForeignMinistersaid,“____ourhopethatthetwosideswillworktowardspeace.”(04北京)A.ThisisB.ThereisC.ThatisD.Itis答案D。如果选A和C,指示代词This和That在句中找不出指代的内容,选B意义不通。故选D。虽然选Itis后题干中出现了Itis…that结构,但这不是强调句型。很明显,题干中的that从句应是主语从句,所缺的是形式主语。____isourbeliefthatimprovementsinhealthcarewillleadtoastronger,moreprosperouseconomyA.AsB.ThatC.ThisD.It(06浙江)答案D。如果去掉Itis…that,中间的ourbelief就无法处理,因此该句不是强调句型,而是一个复合句,It是形式主语,that引导真正主语。强调句型Itis/was…that/who主要用来强调句子的主语、宾语、状语或表语。如果要强调谓语动词,应该用代动词do及其变形does或did,这三种形式常用在谓语动词之前,以加强语气。它一般只能强调现在时与过去时。如:IdowishIcould.我真希望我能。Hedoeslookwell.他的确看起来气色很好。Youdidgivemeafright.你真把我给吓了一跳。跟踪训练:一、单项填空1.---Hegothisfirstbookpublished.Itturnedouttobeabestseller.---Whenwas____?(07浙江)---____wasin2000whenhewasstillincollege.A.that;ThisB.this;ItC.it;ThisD.that;It2.Itisnotwhoisrightbutwhatisright____isofimportance.(07重庆)A.whichB.itC.thatD.this3.ItwasalongtheMississippiRiver____MarkTwainspentmuchofhischildhood.A.howB.whichC.thatD.where(08天津)4.Wasitintheroom____Mr.Johnsonlived____theexhibitionwasheld?A.that;thatB.where;thatC.where;whereD.that;where5.Itwas_____theoldclockthattheoldmanspentthewholemorningathome.A.repairingB.repairedC.torepairD.inrepair6.ItisinStevenSpielberg’sfirstfilm,Jaws,____abigwhitesharkattacksswimmers____arespendingtheirholidaysinasmallvillagebythesea.A.where;whoB.which;thatC.that;thatD.where;that7.---Youseemedtohavebeenimpressedbyhissongs.---Well,notexactlyso.Itwashiswayofsinging____hisvoicethatreallyimpressedme.A.ratherthanB.aswellasC.butalsoD.togetherwith8.Whenwas____youmetwiththefamousscientist?A.itthatB.itC.theplaceD.theplacethat9.Itwasthephotoofmine____wastaken____stoodthehightower.A.which;thatB.that;thatC.that;whereD.who;that10.Isittheyears____youworkedinthefactory____haveagoodeffectonyourliteraryworks?A.that;whereB.that;thatC.when;whereD.when;that11.—Wereallthethreepeopleinthecarinjuredintheaccident?—No,_____onlythetwopassengerswhogothurt.A.itwasB.therewasC.therewereD.therehad12.Itwas_____theexamresultswereknown_____alotoftimeoncomputergames.A.until;didtheboybegintoregrethavingwastedB.notuntil;thattheboybegantoregrettohavewastedC.notuntil;thattheboybegantoregretwastingD.until;didtheboybegintoregrettowaste答案及解析:1-5DCCBA6-10CAACD11-12AC二、用强调句型itis/was…that/who强调划线部分1.Shedidn’tknowhermotherwasillinbeduntilshecamehomefromwork.2.DidhisfatherdieduringtheSecondWorldWar?3.Whobrokethewindow?4.Howdidyousucceed?5.Heisateachernow.6.Iboughtyouthedictionary.7.Iamtoblame.8.Youarewrong.9.Iamlookingforhim.10.Hetoldmethenewsatthegate.答案:1.Itwasnotuntilshecamehomefromworkthatsheknewher
