強(qiáng)調(diào)句型是英語(yǔ)試卷中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的一個(gè)考點(diǎn),其基本結(jié)構(gòu)為:“It is/was+被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+that/who+句子的其余部分”。當(dāng)被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分為“人”且作主語(yǔ)時(shí),可用who/that;當(dāng)被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分為“人”且作賓語(yǔ)時(shí),可用who/whom/that;其他情況一律用that。下面筆者針對(duì)強(qiáng)調(diào)句型的易錯(cuò)點(diǎn)加以解析,希望能幫助同學(xué)們順利解答此類(lèi)題目。
1. 強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、原因時(shí),通常只能用that,而不能使用when,where, why。
例1It was in the park ______
Tom lost his watch.
A. that B. when
C. why D. where
解析: 答案為A。本句意為:“那是在公園,湯姆丟失了他的手表?!焙芏嗤瑢W(xué)認(rèn)為in the park后面應(yīng)該接表示地點(diǎn)的where,誤選了D。實(shí)際上,本句是強(qiáng)調(diào)地點(diǎn)的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。
例2It was two years later
______ he came back from abroad.
A. that B. when
C. where D. why
解析: 答案為A。本句意為:“他從國(guó)外回來(lái)是在兩年后?!迸c例1相似,很多同學(xué)誤選了B。實(shí)際上,本句是強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。
例3It was because he was late again ______ the teacher was very angry.
A. that B. when
C. where B. why
解析: 答案為A。本句意為:“是因?yàn)樗俅芜t到使老師很生氣。”有的同學(xué)認(rèn)為在表示因果關(guān)系的句子中,應(yīng)用why表示原因,從而誤選了D。其實(shí),本句是強(qiáng)調(diào)原因的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。
2. 將not...until句型轉(zhuǎn)換為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型時(shí),應(yīng)將until直接置于not后面,并將原句型中的否定改為肯定。
例4It was not ______ ten oclock that he went to bed.
A. until B. before
C. when D.since
解析: 答案為A。本句意為:“直到10點(diǎn)他才上床睡覺(jué)?!闭б豢?,本句似乎非常復(fù)雜,但只要明白了本句是not... until的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型(原句為:He didnt go to bed until ten oclock.),就能選出正確答案了。
3. 強(qiáng)調(diào)主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)與主語(yǔ)保持一致。
例5It is I that ______ going to be sent there to help them.
A. am B. is
C. was D. be
解析: 答案為A。本句意為:“將要被派往那里幫助他們的人是我。”強(qiáng)調(diào)的是主語(yǔ)I,根據(jù)句意,that后的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)為am。
4. 強(qiáng)調(diào)主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)且其為人稱(chēng)代詞時(shí), 應(yīng)注意代詞的形式不變,仍用主格或賓格形式。
例6It was ______ that told me about it.
A. she B. her
C. herself D. who
解析: 答案為A。本句意為:“告訴我事情的人是她?!睆?qiáng)調(diào)的是主語(yǔ),故應(yīng)選其主格形式。
例7It is ______ whom the teacher has punished.
A. me B. I
C. myself D. my
解析: 答案為A。本句意為:“老師懲罰的人是我?!睆?qiáng)調(diào)的是句子的賓語(yǔ),故應(yīng)選其賓格形式。
5. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句型中含有定語(yǔ)從句或名詞性從句,是單選題的一種常見(jiàn)命題方式。此時(shí),只需將It is/was和that去掉,如句子結(jié)構(gòu)仍然完整,句意仍然清楚,就可判定其為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。
例8It was the girl ______ father worked abroad ______ lent me the book.
A. whose;that B. that; /
C. that;that D. whose; /
解析: 答案為A。句意為:“借給我這本書(shū)的是那個(gè)爸爸在國(guó)外工作的小女孩?!北揪錇閺?qiáng)調(diào)句型,句中含有修飾the girl的定語(yǔ)從句,故可判定第一個(gè)橫線處應(yīng)填whose。當(dāng)去掉強(qiáng)調(diào)句式時(shí),句意仍然清楚,結(jié)構(gòu)仍然完整,故可判定第二個(gè)橫線處應(yīng)為that。
例9It was ______ he did at school ______ made his parents disappointed.
A. what;that B. /;that
C. what;/ D. that;what
解析: 答案為A。句意為:“令他的父母失望的是他在學(xué)校的所作所為。”本句是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型,被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是名詞性從句,第一個(gè)橫線處應(yīng)為句子的主語(yǔ),也是名詞性從句的賓語(yǔ),故應(yīng)為what。后一橫線處則為that。
