强调句型略谈
湖南 孙天桥
一、关于强调句型
强调句型是中学阶段所学过的比较重要的句型之一,也是高考的重点和热点之一。它的基本句型结构是: It is (was) + 被强调的成份 + that (who , whom ) + 其他成份 。英语中许多句子常常可以通过强调句型对句子的不同成份进行强调。例如:
They will have a meeting tomorrow. 他们明天开会。
→It is they who /that will have a meeting tomorrow. (强调主语)
就是他们明天要开会。 (而不是其它的人。)
→It is a meeting that they will have tomorrow. (强调宾语)
他们明天是要开会。(而不是做别的。)
→It is tomorrow that they will have a meeting. (强调时间状语)
就是在明天他们要开会。 (而不是其它时间。)
二、学习强调句型应注意的要点有:
1、强调句中通常强调主语、宾语(包括介词宾语)、状语、短语和从句。其中的it 本身没有词义。
2、强调句中的连接词一般只用who 、whom (指人)、that (可指物,也可指人),若被强调的是状语,也只能用that ,而不能用when 或者说where 。而且连接词都不能省略。如: It was in the park that he met an old friend yesterday. (虽然强调的是地点,但不能用where。)
3、that 或who 、whom 之后动词的人称和数要与它前面被强调的名词或代词一致。(即人称和数要与原句中的一致。) 如:
It is Mary and Tom who often do good deeds .
4、强调句型的时态只有两种:一般现在时和一般过去时。原句中的谓语动词是一般过去时、过去完成时和过去进行时的,用It was ... , 其他的时态用 It is ... 。如:
It was the way he asked that really upset me .
5、It is (was) ... that ... 结构不能强调谓语,如果要强调谓语时,用助动词do , did 或does。如:
Do sit down .
He did write to me last week .
Do be careful in the exam .
6 、 强调句中的 it和 it 作为形式主语的区分是:把It is(was) ... that 去掉后,如果能还原成完整的句子,就是强调句型,否则就不是。比较:
It is there that accidents often happen. 去掉it is ...that 后,句子变成:There accidents often happen . 是一个完整的句子。由此可判断该句是强调句,它强调要点状语there 。
三、强调句型的常见考法:
考生对强调句型的一般用法较易掌握,但当碰到稍复杂一点的句子时,有时就丢分了,这是因为没有过多注意强调句的一些常见考法。近年来,关于强调句型的常见考法有:
1、用少见的介词短语来作为被强调的成份。如:
It was for this reason that he left that school.
It was in this way that he solved the problem.
2、用时间状语从句、条件状语从句等作为被强调的成份。如:
It was only when I reread his poems that I began to appreciate their beauty . (NMET 98)
3、用 not until 复杂结构作为被强调成份。如:
It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a film star. (MET 92)
It was not until 1920 that regular radio broadcasts began . (NMET 95)
4、在被强调部分后接定语从句,使句子结构更加复杂来迷惑考生。 如:
It was on July 7th , 1975 when he was born that his father died.
5、通过句型转换来迷惑考生。 如把肯定句改成一般疑问句或特殊疑问句,也可以把肯定句改成否定句或否定疑问句等。如:
Was it during the Second World War that he died?
When was it that the sports meeting began ?
It was not Tom that stole the book .
Wasn't it he that had made a mistake?
6、通过改变动词形式来迷惑考生。 一般强调句型的谓语动词为 is 或 was ,但在其前面还是可以加上如 may / might /must 等表推测的情态动词。如:
It might be him that you met yesterday.
总之,对于强调句型,不但要掌握它的基本用法与学习要点,而且还要重视它的考法,提高自己的辨别能力,判断出一个句子是否为强调句,再作出正确的选择。
—Where did you meet her?
—It was in the hotel _________ she stayed.
A.that B.where C.which D.there
10.—When did you arrive in Shanghai?
—It was five _________ I arrived there.
A.when B.that C.which D.at which
9.B 这里不是强调句型。特别注意上一句问“你在哪里见到她?”下一句回答“在她呆的旅馆见到她。”where she stayed是个定语从句。
10.A 这里也不是强调句型。上句问“什么时候到上海?”下句回答“到达的时间是五点”。
21. —Who was _____called this morning?
—Mrs. Brown, our new neighbour.
A. it that B. it whom C. she that D. she who
