强调句详解 一、定义 强调就是使句子的某一部分比一般情况下显得更加重要。英语表达中，要强调句子的某一成分，一般可用强调句型“It is (was) +that (who) +句子的其余部分”。It在句中无意义，只起引出被强调部分的作用。被强调的部分指人时，除可用that外，还可换用who（强调宾语指人时也可用whom）。使用强调句型时，应注意以下事项： 1、去掉强调结构It is (was) … that(who)…后，剩下的词仍能组成一个完整的句子。这是判断是不是强调句型的关键。试比较： 1. It is strange that he didn’t come yesterday. 2. It is you and Tom that didn’t come yesterday. 显然，句1去掉It is… that …后，句子结构不完整，是主语从句；句2去掉It is … that …后，句子变为you and Tom didn’t come yesterday. 仍是一个表意完整的句子，这是一个强调句。再如： 1. It is what you do rather than what you say ____matters. A. that B. what C. which D. this 答案A。这是一个强调主语的强调句型，去掉强调结构，剩下的是What you do rather than what you say matters. 表意完整。 2. That was really a splendid evening. It’s years ____I enjoyed myself so much. A. when B. that C. before D. since 答案D。由强调句型的判断方法可知，该句不是强调句型。It指时间，句意为：好几年我没有这么高兴了。since的意思是“自从那个时候起”。 2、如果强调时间、地点、原因或方式状语时，不可用when, where, why或how，而仍用that。 试比较：It was because of the accident why he was late. (误), It was because of the accident that he was late. (正)。又如： 1. It was not until midnight_____ they reached the camp site. A. that B. when C. while D. as 答案A。该题强干扰项是B，考生容易因强调时间状语until midnight而误选。 2. It was after he got what he had desired ____he realized it was not so important. A. that B. when C. since D. as 答案A。该句强调时间状语从句after he got what he had desired，题干意思是“得到他所梦寐以求的东西后他才意识到一切都不那么重要”。不要误选B。 3、注意强调句型的否定句和疑问句形式，在这方面很容易因弄不清句子结构而错选。如: How did he come here? 强调how: How was it that he came here? Why did he came late? 强调Why: Why was it that he came late? 1. I just wonder ____that makes him so excited. A. why it does B. what he does C. how it is D. what it is 答案D。正常语序的强调句型容易看出，但要注意它的变体。如果把该题变换一下语序：it is what that makes him so excited,不难看出这是强调句型的特殊疑问句形式，强调了疑问代词what，因为wonder后宾语从句，故用了陈述语序。 2. It was not until she got home ____Jennifer realized she had lost her keys. A. when B. that C. where D. before 答案B。如果去掉强调结构，该句是一个“not… until”句型：Jennifer didn’t realize she had lost her keys until
