that引導(dǎo)的從句是歷年高考考查的重點(diǎn)和熱點(diǎn),尤其是that引導(dǎo)的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型、定語從句、主語從句和同位語從句更是重中之重。不少同學(xué)由于混淆它們之間的概念與用法,導(dǎo)致出現(xiàn)一些不該出現(xiàn)的錯(cuò)誤。下面筆者結(jié)合近年高考題,談?wù)勅绾芜\(yùn)用以下“四法”對(duì)that引導(dǎo)的從句類型進(jìn)行分辨。
一、運(yùn)用“試減法”,區(qū)別強(qiáng)調(diào)句型和其他從句
區(qū)別強(qiáng)調(diào)句型和其他從句的最好方法是“試減法”。也就是說,如果把句子中“It be…that…”這一框架去掉,句子的剩余部分(可以進(jìn)行位置上的調(diào)整)結(jié)構(gòu)完整,意思通順,合乎邏輯,則that引導(dǎo)的是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型,否則為其他從句。例如:
It was at nine yesterday that we met the film star.
(運(yùn)用“試減法”,此句可改寫為:We met the film star at nine yesterday. 顯然,句子結(jié)構(gòu)完整,意思通順,故為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。)
[考例]
It was not until she got home ____ Jennifer realized she had lost her keys. (2006全國Ⅱ)
A. when B. that C. where D. before
解析:根據(jù)“試減法”,此題可改寫為:Jennifer didnt realize she had lost her keys until she got home。故應(yīng)為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。答案為B。
二、運(yùn)用“成分法”,區(qū)別定語從句和其他從句
分析that引導(dǎo)的從句的句子成分,如果that在從句中充當(dāng)主語或賓語,則此從句為定語從句。例如:
We must do everything that the teacher tells us to do.
(運(yùn)用“成分法”,例句中的that在從句中充當(dāng)賓語,故that引導(dǎo)的從句為定語從句。)
[考例]
1. Is this the reason ____ at the meeting for his carelessness in his work?(2002上海春季)
A. that he explained B. what he explained
C. how he explained D. why he explained
解析:該題中的that充當(dāng)explained的賓語,故that引導(dǎo)的從句為定語從句。答案為A。
2. Ill remember 2004 forever ____ is full of happiness.
A. when B. that C. it D. what
解析:這里的2004雖表示時(shí)間但不在句中作時(shí)間狀語,而在從句中作主語,屬于關(guān)系代詞范疇,因此應(yīng)填關(guān)系代詞that引導(dǎo)定語從句。答案為B。
三、運(yùn)用“還原法”,區(qū)別主語從句和其他從句
即去掉句首的It,把that引導(dǎo)的從句放置句首,如果新句子意思不變,合乎邏輯,則該從句為主語從句,否則為其他從句。例如:
Its clear that hes round and tall like a tree.
(運(yùn)用“還原法”,該句可改寫成:That hes round and tall like a tree is clear. that引導(dǎo)的從句為主語從句。)
[考例]
____ is our belief that improvements in health care will lead to a stronger, more prosperous economy. (2006浙江)
A. As B. That C. This D. It
解析:依據(jù)“還原法”,本題可改寫成:That improvements in health care will lead to a stronger, more prosperous economy is our belief. 顯然,that引導(dǎo)的從句是主語從句,作真正的主語,而形式主語只能用it。答案為D。
四、運(yùn)用“試加法”,區(qū)別同位語從句和其他從句
同位語從句是對(duì)其前面的名詞的內(nèi)容加以進(jìn)一步的說明和解釋。若在名詞和從句之間加系動(dòng)詞be,使該名詞和從句構(gòu)成一個(gè)新的句子,如果這個(gè)句子通順、合乎邏輯,那么該句就是同位語從句。例如:
A story goes that Elizabeth I of England liked nothing more than being surrounded by clever and qualified noblemen at court.
(運(yùn)用“試加法”,該句可寫成:A story is that Elizabeth I of England liked…at court. 顯然,that從句是story的具體內(nèi)容, 二者之間是同位關(guān)系。)
[考例]
1. ——Its thirty years since we last met. (2006四川)
——But I still remember the story, believe it or not, ____ we got lost on a rainy night.
A. which B. that C. what D. when
2. A warm thought suddenly came to me ____ I might use the pocket money to buy some flowers for my mothers birthday. (2006安徽)
A. if B. when C. that D. which
解析:根據(jù)“試加法”,上述句子可寫成:The story was that we got lost on a rainy night. 和A warm thought was that I might use the pocket money to buy some flowers for my mothers birthday. 因此,兩題均考查同位語從句。答案分別為1.B 2.C。
