强调句型和高考
强调句型是高考范围的语法项目,更是命题者的青睐,下面结合几年的高考题作一阐述。
一、句型特征及含义
It + be的适当形式+ 被强调部分+ that / who +其他
注:be前可加上may/might/must等情态动词。
It may be at the party that Tomknew her.
It must be John that/who will takepart in the contest on behalf of our class.
翻译时常加上“正是…… ; 就是……”等字眼,以突出其强调的含义。
二、强调角度及运用
1. 在强调句中含有not until句型时,用下列句型:
It was not until + 短语/句子 + that….. that后的句子要用肯定句,且须用陈述语序。
①It was not until 250 years laterthat they formed a single state.
②It was not until he realized itthat I told him.
③It was not until midnighttheyreached the camp site.
A.thatB.whenC.whileD. as
④ It was not until this momentwhen I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired avoice. 正是当我考虑到自己真正与别人不同时,我才获得了写作的灵感。
⑤ It was not until she took offher dark glasses that I recognized she was a famous filmstar.
⑥It is ________that I left forQingdao.
A. until he camebackB. not until he came back
C. that he camebackD. not that he came back(key: B)
此题的命题构思是这样的:
I didn’t leave for Qingdao untilhe came.
Not until he came did I leave forQingdao.
It is not until he came back thatI left for Qingdao.
2. 强调主语:① It’s actually thesimpler uses of a camera phone ______ the most interesting. Theycould make photographers of us all!
A. that areB.which areC.that isD.which is
(主语是the simpler uses,是复数,所以要特别小心。)

3. 强调状语从句:
① It was ______ my teacher worked_______ I work hard.
A. where; thatB.where; where
C. that ; thatD.that; where (key: A)
(该句原为一个带地点状语从句的主从复合句:I work hardwhere my teacher worked. 状语从句一经被强调,此句即显得复杂。必须要有还原的本领。要领就是去掉It wasthat这三个词即可。)
②It was ______ the teacherlectured in class _______ that student spoke loudly.
A. when,that B. when,when
C. that , thatD.that, when(key: A)
③强调原因状语时,只能用because, 不用as, since,for等。

4. 强调含有定语从句的主语、宾语或状语。

4. “Where did you find theprofessor who made the speech yesterday?” “It was in the hall______ the students often have a meeting.”
A.whereB.which
C.thatD.when
分析:假若选C,即有 It was in the hall thatthe students often have ameeting,该句的意思是“学生们通常是在大厅开会”,单独看这一句,无论是其意思还是其语法均未错,但若将其与上文联系起来看,则不通,因为上文的意思是“你是在哪儿找到昨天作报告的那位教授的?”假若将答句改为It was in the hall that I found the professor,则完全可以。
其实,此题的最佳答案是A,where the studentsoften have a meeting 为定语从句,用以修饰其前的名词 thehall,句意为“是在学生们经常开会的那个大厅(找到教授的)”,这样语意就通顺了。
