【命题立意】考查强调句型的用法。
我的声音太小了以致于店主弯下腰来听我确实想买什么。Hear后的宾语从句使用的强调句型，强调的是what，宾语从句应用陈述语序。故判断选C。
【举一反三】高考中强调句型考查热点
考点一：强调句型的基本结构：强调句型“It is / was + 被强调的成份 + that + 其他成份”用来强调主语、宾语和状语等成份。that只起连接作用，不作成份，但不能省略。有时强调的部分比较特殊，如主语从句、状语从句、名词、不定式短语、V-ing的复合结构等。如：It was in the library that I saw her yesterday. 我昨天正是在图书馆见到她的。
考点二：特殊句式中的强调句型
（1）如果强调的是特殊疑问句中的疑问词，表示“到底”、“究竟”等语气时，就用如下结构：
（2）“特殊疑问词 + is / was + it + that + 该句的其余部分”。如：How is it that you usually go to work? 你通常是怎样去上班的？
（3）在强调“not... until”结构中由until所引导的短语（或从句）作时间状语时，要用固定的强调句型：“It + is / was + not until... + that + 该句的其余部分”，that所引导的从句中的谓语动词用肯定式。如：His father didn't come back from work until 12 o'clock. = It was not until 12 o'clock that his father came home form work. 直到12点他的爸爸才下班回家。
考点三：强调句型与时间状语从句、定语从句的判断。
强调句型要注意和it代表时间、距离、温度、自然现象、具体事物或人物等时所构成的各种句型的区别。试比较：
It was on March 1 that I had my hair cut. (强调句)
It was March 1 when I had my hair cut. (后面是定语从句)
判断是否是强调句，可采用“还原法”。如果还原为一般句式后，句子各种成份完整，则是强调句。否则不是。如第一句可还原成：I had my hair cut on March 1.
考点四：偶尔考查谓语动词的强调句式。
英语中常用助动词do、does或did强调谓语，一般用在肯定句和否定句中。如：
He did go to the airport yesterday, but he did not find you. 他昨天确实去了机场，但他真地没有找到你
4.  The wet weather will continue tomorrow when a cold front ______ to arrive.
A. is expected           B. is expecting     C. expects    D. will be expected
参考答案：
A
解析：a cold front（冷锋）和expect之间是被动关系，主句是一般将来时，故when引导的时间状语从句应该用一般现在时的被动语态表示将来要被发生的动作。

Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space, died on Monday after a 17-month battle with cancer, her company said. She was 61.
    “Sally lived her life to the fullest, with boundless energy, curiosity, intelligence, passion, commitment and love. Her integrity(正直) was ; her spirit was immeasurable; her approach to life was fearless, ” read a statement on the website of Sally Ride Science, a company she started to help teach students, particularly young women and girls, about science, math and technology.
    Sally flew into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1983 to become America's first woman in space. She took a second trip aboard the same shuttle one year later. The first woman in space was Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, who orbited the Earth 48 times in 1963. She was assigned to a third flight, but that was cancelled after the Challenger exploded shortly after lift-off in 1986, claiming the lives of seven crew members on board. Sally helped investigate that accident and later that of Space Shuttle Columbia, becoming the  only person to serve on the commissions investigating both accidents. In 2003, the Columbia crashed during re-entry into the atmosphere, killing all seven crew members.
    "As the first American woman to travel into space, Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model," President Barack Obama said soon after news of her death broke. "She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars and later fought tirelessly to help them get there by advocating for a greater focus on science and math in our schools. Sally's life showed us that there are no limits to what we can achieve."
    As a Los Angeles native, Ride attended Stanford University, where she earned four degrees, including a doctorate in physics, according to NASA. She joined the agency as part of the class of 1978, the first to include women. Ride responded to an ad in the Stanford student newspaper and was selected from some 8,000 applicants.

A. was a beautiful woman                                               B. couldn’t face failure bravely

57. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Sally’s third flight                     B. Another deadly accident
C. The official investigation        D. A new space mission
58. In Obama’s speech, he stressed____________________.
A. the model encouragement from Sally            B. Sally’s interest in space travel
C. young girls bright future                           D. the importance of science and math
59. From the passage, we learn that Sally_____________________.
A. was the first woman to fly in space       B. started a school to focus on rights for women
C. flew in space three times in total          D. had a good academic performance
60. What would be the best title for the passage?

B. Sally Ride, first American woman in space, dies.
C. American thanks Sally Ride for her braveness.
D. Sally Ride, as a woman, worked hard for science.

22. Half off usually unaffordable products?Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner?That’s the magic of Groupon,but for some small business owners the “great business” offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death.How could that occur?
The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance,but upon further inspection the numbers don’t add up when it comes to smaller businesses.A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service;then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business.While Groupon has already received the profit in advance,the merchant is left waiting for their cut.Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50,which,in some cases,is being generous.
When you break it down to numbers,a Groupon deal seems disastrous,but it’s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about.The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers.Yet,does this actually happen?The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don’t return after using their Groupon.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated,“I love the deals offered by Groupon!They can really save you so much money.”However,she went on to say that she hadn’t returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.
For some small businesses,the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers,who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years.When you break it down,Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price,but also that their product or service isn’t worth the price they’re charging for.When combining these factors,it’s no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.
Now I by no means say Groupons have bad effects on all businesses;however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.
32.What is good about Groupon?
A.It can offer a large discount.
B.It helps add up the numbers.
C.It can improve the quality of the product.
D.It brings small business owners more profit.
33.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope’s statement suggests that 　　　. 
A.small business owners needn’t worry about deals
B.people like using Groupon in the same business
C.the purpose of Groupon is to promote business
D.Groupon may not bring customers back
34.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.New faces. B.Loyal customers.
C.Groupon dealers. D.Small businesses.
35.What could be the best title for the text?
A.A new business trend—Groupon dealing
B.The development of a Groupon company
C.The effects of Groupon on small businesses
D.A fantastic shopping experience—Groupon
