強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)是由“It + be + 被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分+ that +句子的其它成分”構(gòu)成,該句型強(qiáng)調(diào)除謂語動詞以外的任何句子成分。但是在對該句型進(jìn)行考查時,往往通過改變其句子結(jié)構(gòu)以及相似句型的區(qū)別來考查學(xué)生對其掌握的熟練程度以及靈活運(yùn)用該句型的能力,這就使得一部分學(xué)生感到對該句型掌握困難、運(yùn)用很棘手覺。為了便于同學(xué)們掌握,本文就此問題歸納如下:
一、強(qiáng)調(diào)句型變化形式的歸納
1、以一般疑問句的形式出現(xiàn)
例1 Was ___ that I saw last night at the concert?
A. it you B. not you C. you D. that yourself
【解析】從句子所提供的語境“that I saw last night at the concert”來看,句中缺少賓語,再根據(jù)整個結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷出該句是強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu),強(qiáng)調(diào)部分應(yīng)是句子的賓語。因此應(yīng)選A。
2、以特殊疑問句的形式出現(xiàn)
例2 Why! I have nothing to confess. ___ you want to say?
A. What is it that B. what it is that C. How is it that D. How it is that
【解析】我們把此句按下列順序解析其結(jié)構(gòu)變化:① 補(bǔ)全所缺成分:It was this book that he bought yesterday. ②對劃線部分提問 What was it that he bought yesterday? ,顯然,答案應(yīng)為A。再如:
____ is it ____ has made Tom ____ he is today?
A. What; that: that B. That; that; what C. What; what; that D. What; that; what
通過運(yùn)用以上步驟分析可知,答案應(yīng)為D。
3、強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)以名詞性從句的形式出現(xiàn)
例3 I”ve already forgotten ___ you put the dictionary.
A. that it is there B. where was it that C. that where was D. where it was that
【解析】為了更好地理解,正確地做題,我們也可采用以下步驟進(jìn)行分析:①把原句復(fù)原:It was on the shelf that I put the dictionary.②對劃線部分提問:Where was it that you put the dictionary?③將其用于賓語從句中,注意此時的語序應(yīng)為陳述語序:Ive already forgotten where it was that you put the dictionary.由此可見,答案應(yīng)為D。
4、與not…until句型相結(jié)合
例4 It _____ we had stayed together for a couple of weeks ____ I found we had a lot in common. (07浙江卷) A. was until; when B. was until; that C. wasnt until; when D. wasnt until; that
【解析】當(dāng)要強(qiáng)調(diào)句子的某一成分(一般是句子的主語、賓語、狀語)時,通常用“it is/was+被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+that/who+句子的其余部分”這種句子結(jié)構(gòu)。如果被強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分是表示人的意義的名詞時可以用who或that;但是,無論被強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分是表示地點(diǎn)、還是表示時間意義的名詞,都不可以用where或者when。在“not...until..”結(jié)構(gòu)中,如果強(qiáng)調(diào)until引導(dǎo)的時間狀語或時間狀語從句,則必須把not一起提到被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分中。該句對until we had stayed together for a couple of weeks進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào),所以要用“It was not until…that+句子其余成分”這種結(jié)構(gòu)。因此答案為D。
二、與強(qiáng)調(diào)句型相似的句型歸納
1、It +be +adj./n. / 過去分詞+that +從句
此句型為主語從句,其中it是形式主語,真正的主語是“that+從句”;句型中的adj./ n. / 過去分詞作表語。
例1 It is our belief ___ improvements in health care will lead to a stronger, more prosperous economy.
A. that B. what C. which D. how
【解析】根據(jù)句意“我們堅信醫(yī)療保健的改進(jìn)將會導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟(jì)強(qiáng)大繁榮的發(fā)展”可判斷出it是形式主語,真正的主語是that improvements in health care will lead to a stronger, more prosperous economy。因此答案為A。
2、It + be + 表示一段時間的名詞+ since +從句
此句型表示“自……以來”,當(dāng)since從句用過去時態(tài)時,主句應(yīng)用is;如果從句中謂語動詞用過去完成時態(tài),主句則用was。此外,當(dāng)從句中謂語動詞是非延續(xù)性動詞,表示“自該動作發(fā)生以來到現(xiàn)在”;如果是延續(xù)性動詞,則表示“自該動作結(jié)束以來到現(xiàn)在”。
例2 That was really a splendid evening. Its years ___ I enjoyed myself so much.
A. when B. that C. before D. since
【解析】“It is/ was + 一段時間”后接時間狀語從句時,常常用since引導(dǎo)。如果從句的謂語動詞是延續(xù)性動詞,表示“有很長時間沒那么做了”。這個句子的意思是“我多年沒有那么高興了?!比绻^語動詞是非延續(xù)行動詞,表示“從那時開始,到目前為止有多長時間了”。例如:It is five years since I began to learn English.我學(xué)了五年英語。此題答案為D。
3、It + be +表示一段時間的名詞+ before +從句
在此句型中,before引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句,意思是“在……之前”。如果主句是肯定形式,整個句子意思是“過……時間才會……”;如果主句是否定形式,則整個句意為“不到……時間就會……”。
例3 Scientists say it may be five or six years ___ it is possible to test this medicine on human patients.
A. when B. until C. since D. before
【解析】根據(jù)從句中謂語動詞的時態(tài)“it is…”以及句意“科學(xué)家們說要過五、六年時間才能用于病人身上檢驗這種藥”。故此題答案為D。再如:It wasnt long before the news got around.(不久這個消息就傳開了)
