强调句

重点：强调句基本句型的掌握。

难点：强调句和名词性从句，定语从句的混淆。 题型：单选题和完型填空（1-2.5分）

强调是有效地进行思想交流的重要手段之一。人们在交际过程中，为了使自己的思想能被对方恰当的理解，必须加强语气，突出重要的内容，增加对比效果与感情色彩，这时就会用到强调。强调常见的表现形式如下：

一、强调句型

为了强调句子的某一成分（通常是主语、宾语、或状语），常用强调句型：It is (was) +被强调部分+that(who)… 表示强调的 it 在句子中作主句的主语；被强调部分可以是主语，宾语，表语或状语；强调的主语如果是人，that和who都可用。如： Last night I saw a film in the Youth Palace.

强调主语：It was I that / who saw a film in the Youth Palace last night. 强调宾语：It was a film that I saw in the Youth Palace last night. 强调地点状语：It was in the Youth Palace that I saw a film last night. 强调时间状语：It was last night that I saw a film in the Youth Palace.

另外，还要注意下面几点：

1）在强调主语时，that 后的谓语动词要与被强调者保持人称和数的一致。如：

It is I who am a teacher.

2）即使被强调的主语是复数，主句中的谓语动词也用单数。如：

It is they who often help me with my lessons.

3）在强调时间、地点、原因或方式状语时，不能用when，where，why或 how ，而要用that 。如：

It was because her mother was ill that she didn't go with us.

It was only when I reread his poems recently that I began to appreciate their beauty.

It was the house that the murder happened.

4）在强调not … until 结构中由 until 短语（或从句）表示的时间状语时，要用固定的强调句型：It is(was) not until ...that... 注意此时原句的not…until要变成not until ，that 从句中的谓语动词要用肯定式。如：

My father didn't come home until 12 o'clock last night.

It was not until 12 o'clock last night that my father came home.

I didn’t realize she was a famous film star until she took off her dark glasses.

It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.

5）原句的谓语动词如果是现在或将来的各种时态，用It is…that (who)…；如果原句谓语动词是过去各种时态，则用It was… that(who)…

6）在强调一般疑问句中的某一成分时，主句要用一般疑问句的语序。that后面的原句其余部分在移走了被强调部分后词序及词形都不可以改动。如：

Did this happen in Beijing?

Was it in Beijing that this happened?

7）特殊疑问句中只有疑问词可以强调，其强调结构是―疑问词+is (was) it that...? \" 如：

Where were you born?

Where was it that you were born?

8）强调句型容易和句型It is/was+名词+that名词从句混淆。如果把构成强调句型结构的词It is (was) … that(who)… 去掉，被强调部分归位后，应该能够形成一个完整 的句子（这也是判断是否是强调句型的方法）。但后者的It is/was…that 是不可去掉的，否则that前的名词就找不到位置，原句也不再成立，如下面这个句子如去掉It is/was…that就不再完整：

It was the rule of the school that the pupils should wear their school uniforms

强调句型还容易跟It is/was+形容词+that名词从句这一句型混淆。如：It is clear (obvious, true, possible, certain....) that ..... 该句型中it 是形式主语，真正的主语是that 引导的主语从句，常译为‖清楚(显然, 真的, 肯定…)‖是主语从句最常见的一种结构。

It is very clear that he’s round and tall like a tree.

That he’s round and tall like a tree is very clear.

9)强调句可以用作宾语从句。如：

He told me that it was because he was late for class that he was punished.

I really can’t remember where it was that I first met the man.

10）强调句型可有如下变体：It is/was变成―情态动词+be‖。如：

It may be my bike that he is riding.

It must have been the manager that spoke to you.

11）与疑问词连用构成特殊疑问句和感叹句。如：

Whom was it that Mr. Smith saw in the park yesterday?

Why is it that silver is not widely used as a conductor?

What a beautiful picture it is that you have drawn!

12）被强调的名词或代词可带有一个定语从句。如：

Was it Bill, who plays football well, that helped the blind man cross the road?

It was in the school, where（or：in which） I once studied, that we hold a party.

Was it in the house, which we visited last year, that the murder happened?

二、用助动词do或其变化形式does，did来强调句中谓语动词，用来加强陈述句和祈使句的语气，译作―的确‖，―一定‖，―确实‖。如：

He did send you a letter last week.

We’re pleased that she does intend to come.

Do write to me when you get there．

三、用倒装句来加强语气。如：

Only in this way can we solve this problem．

Never will China be the first to use nuclear weapons.

Proud as these nobles are, they are afraid to see me.

In front of the farmhouse there sat a little boy.

四、用形容词, 副词或者否定词very, never, ever, even, still , single，simply, just ,only, too等来表示强调。如：

At that very monent he heard a cry for help.

I can't even remember the name of that old friend of mine.

Not a single person has been in the office this afternoon．

You are the only person here who can speak Chinese．

This is just what I wanted．

五、用what引导的名词性从句或wh-疑问词+ever构成的复合词引导的状语从句来强调从句中的主语，宾语或状语等。如：

What Mary does every day is to give piano lessons.

Whenever you come to me, you can come right in.

六、反复使用同一个词来加强语气 ，可反复使用词的一般是动词， 副词，形容词和名词。如：

He worked (and) worked until late at night.

They walked for miles and miles．

I'll never, never forget you.

七、 用―at all‖，―in every way‖，―in no way‖，―by all means‖，―by no means‖，―only too‖，―all too‖，―but too‖，―in heaven‖，―in the world‖，―in hell‖，―on earth‖，―under the sun‖等来加强疑问或否定语气。如：

Where in the world did you go just now ?

What on earth are you doing?

She's not in the least angry with me.

The clerk is not at all fit for the post.

八、用感叹句来表示强烈的感情，突出说话人的情感。如：

How interesting a story it is！

九、 用反身代词表示强调 。如：

I myself will see her off at the station．

You can do it well yourself．

十、用破折号、黑体字也可以表示强调，加强语气：

It's because of hard work—ten years of hard work．

强调句型的构成是：It is (was) + 被强调部分+ that (who) + 句子的其他成分。被强调的部分放在 It is (was) 之后，其它部分置于that之后。被强调部分可以是主语，宾语，表语或状语。强调的主语如果是人，可以由who代替that。

1. 被强调的成分举例：

原句：Tom found my pen in the classroom yesterday.

强调主语：It was Tom who / that found my pen in the classroom yesterday.

强调宾语：It was my pen that Tom found in the classroom yesterday.

强调地点状语：It was in the classroom that Tom found my pen yesterday.

强调时间状语：It was yesterday that Tom found my pen in the classroom.

2. 强调句型的一般疑问式：

直接把is或was提到it之前即可。例如：

Was it Tom that found your pen in the classroom yesterday?

3. 强调句型的特殊疑问式：

特殊疑问词+ is (was) it + that +句子的其他成分。特殊疑问词即是被强调的成分。例如：

Who was it that found your pen in the classroom yesterday?

4. that (who) 有时可以省略：

这种强调句型中的that或who有时可以省略。例如：

It was my brother (that / whom) you saw the other day.

5. 强调原因状语从句要注意：

若从句由as或since引导，强调时则改为because，这是因为，because引导的原因从句表示的意义非常强烈，符合强调句的目的。例如：

As she got up late, she missed the first bus. 变为：

It was because she got up late that she missed the bus.

6. 强调句的否定转移：

有些否定句在变成强调句时，要把否定转移到被强调的词语之前。尤其是“not... until...”句式的强调要特别注意。例如：

He didn't realize his mistake until the teacher had told him. 变为：

It wasn't until the teacher had told him that he realized his mistake.

【注意】 在强调句式中，虽然not被提前，但“not... until...”句型不要倒装。 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：

“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？

2. 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。如：

He did go to the airport yesterday, but he didn't find you. 他昨天确实去了机场，但他没有找到你

强调句型的基本结构是：It is/was + 被强调部分(主语、宾语、宾语补足语或状语等) + that/who +句子的其余部分。 一、连接词。一般说来，如果被强调部分是人时，用连词that或who；被强调的部分是宾语，指人时也可以用whom；如果

B. before

C. since

D. that

被强调部分是物，只能用连词that。

It was John and Mike who/that saw Mary in the street last night. It is Mary whom/ who he often helps . It was in the street that I met him yesterday.

二、时态。如果原句中谓语动词使用的是现在范畴的时态(一般现在时、现在进行时、现在完成/现在完成进行时、一般将来时、将来进行时、将来完成时等)，用It is...that...。如果原句中谓语动词为过去范畴的时态(一般过去时、过去进行时、过去完成时、过去将来时等)，则用It was...that...。如： Mary met an old beggar in the street yesterday.

It was Mary who/that met an old beggar in the street yesterday. (强调主语) It was an old beggar whom/that Mary met in the street yesterday. (强调宾语) It was yesterday that Mary met an old beggar in the street. (强调时间状语) It was in the street that Mary met an old beggar yesterday. (强调地点状语)

有时，be前可使用表示推测的情态动词。如：

It must be Peter who has let this secret out.一定是彼得将这个秘密泄露出去的。 It might be last night that they did their homework.他们也许是昨晚做完作业的。

三、 强调含有not until的句子。在强调not until句型时，not 位于until从句前，主句谓语动词作相应变化，即it is(was)+not until从句+that +其它。

It was not until he had finished the work that he went home. It was not until 12 o’clock last night that my brother came home.

四、强调句的疑问句。强调结构的疑问形式：强调一般疑问句中的某一成分时，要在主句中用一般疑问句的顺序。例如： Was it you that/who broke the window ? Was it in the war that he lost his son ?

强调特殊疑问句中的疑问词，其结构模式是：“疑问词+ is/was + it +that...”。它同感叹句的强调模式极其相似，首先将疑问句开头的部分作为强调部分，套入强调结构，然后再将其变为疑问句。例如： 1. Where were you born? → Where was it that you were born? 2. What did you want to see? → What was it that you wanted to see?

3. How many people are being trained for the special work? → How many people is it that are being trained for the special work ?。 五、强调句型中的主谓一致。被强调的成分为原句的主语时，that/who之后的谓语动词应与被强调的名词或代词在人称和数方面保持一致关系，从而选用恰当的动词形式。例如： It is you who/that are wrong.

It is I who/that am answering the question.

但是如果被强调的部分是人称代词，按理应用人称代词主格形式，但在口语或非正式文体中也可以用其宾格形式，此时that/who的谓语动词要用单数第三人称形式is或was。例如： It is me who is being asked the favor.

另在It is/was..., not...that...句型中，其谓语动词应与肯定部分的词保持一致关系。例如： It is my brother, not I that studies in that school.

It is you, not your sister that are in charge of the company.

六、感叹句的强调结构，既要体现强调句型的形式特征，又要体现感叹句的自然语序。例如： 1. How happy he looks! → How happy it is that he looks! 2. What a clever boy he is! → What a clever boy it is that he is!

七、强调句型的鉴别方法及相似句型的辨析

强调句型极易与定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句等相关句型混淆，判断的方法是：强调句型中去掉It is/was„that剩下的部分在语法和意义上仍然是一个完整的句子。如：It was yesterday that I met him. 去掉句中的It was …that 该句为：Yesterday I met him. 句意和语法都非常正确，说明这是一个强调句。而其他句型则不行。

[分析诊断]

1. B。首先判断这是强调句型，强调的是主语the ability to do the job，所以选用that。

如果原句中谓语动词为过去范畴的时态(一般过去时、过去进行时、过去完成时、过去将来时等)，则用It was...that...。如： 2. A。这个句子稍微复杂点。Said that 后面的是宾语从句。然后在这个从句里，有一个it is„that的强调句。整个宾语从句意思说：正是因为他对文学有浓厚的兴趣，他才选择了这个课程。 3. B。本题强调主语these poisonous products.

4. A。本句中强调句型对特殊疑问词what 进行强调，去掉强调句型后句子为What do you want me to say?我们可以看到被强调的what 是say 的宾语。

5. D。对状语with this joy 进行强调。

6. B。本题考查助动词do对动词的强调。从the other day (那天)判断整个句子应用过去时态，A、C两项时态错误，D项不合题意，故选B，did可译为“的确，真地”。

7. B。句意：直到他到家的时候，Jennifer才意识到钥匙丢了。until结构时用于强调句式时，要将否定词not移到until前。 8. C。本题是对强调句型与not„„until从句的结合考查，把not移至被强调的部分之后，要注意把句子中的动词用过去式。 9. C。根据下文的答语 a friend of his helped him可知上文是强调方式状语。

10. 1) D 2) B 3) C 4) D 5) B 6) A 先分析结构，再分析意思。谨慎试词，防止混淆。1.句强调时间状语，故用that；2.是It„before„句型，时间状语从句，只用before；3. It is a period of time since-clause是固定结构，只用since；4.是强调句型，因spend一词为及物动词，故需要宾语that。此例也可能是定语从句，若为定语从句则which亦可。但强调句和定语从句的意义是不同的。5是It„before„句型，时间状语从句，只用before. 6 是when引导的时间状语从句。

宾语从句是高考的一个热点，也是一个难点，近几年虽说出现的次数不多，但是不能掉以轻心。 一、 宾语从句可分为三类：

1. 由连接词that引导的宾语从句。由连接词that引导宾语从句时，that在句中不担任任何成分，在口语或非正式的文体中常被省去，但如从句是并列句时,第二个分句前的that不可省。例如：

He has told me that he will go to Shanghai tomorrow. 他已经告诉我他明天要去上海。

We must never think (that) we are good in everything while others are good in nothing. 我们决不能认为自己什么都好，别人什么都不好。

2. 用who, whom, which, whose, what, when, where, why, how, whoever, whatever, whichever等关联词引导的宾语从句相当于特殊疑问句，应注意句子语序要用陈述语序。例如：

I want to know what he has told you. 我想知道他告诉了你什么。

She always thinks of how she can work well. 她总是在想怎样能把工作做好。

She will give whoever needs help a warm support. 凡需要帮助的人，她都会给予热情的支持。

3. 用whether或if引导的宾语从句，其主语和谓语的顺序也不能颠倒，仍保持陈述句语序。例如： I doubt whether our team can win the match. 我怀疑我们队能否赢这场比赛。

二、宾语从句考点

1. 考查宾语从句的语序。宾语从句必须用自然语序，即使在疑问句中，从句也不倒装（而在主句上倒装）

宾语从句的语序是陈述语序，即“连接词+主语+谓语+其它成分”。特别强调：它的主语和谓语的语序是陈述语序，而不是疑问句的倒装结构。

Can you tell me who(m) do we have to see?(╳) Can you tell me who(m) we have to see?( √)

The teacher asked the students what they were doing.(思考: what在从句中的成分)

陈述句变为宾语从句时，要注意人称和时态的变化，语序不变。 例如：She said, ―I will leave a message on the desk.‖ →She said she would leave a message on the desk.

一般疑问句和特殊疑问句变为宾语从句时,也要注意人称和时态的变化,后面接陈述语序。Eg. “Where are the tickets?” I asked him. à I asked him where the tickets are.

2. 考查时态。宾语从句应同主句在谓语时态上保持一致。主句谓语是现在时，宾语从句的谓语可以是任意时态；主句谓语是过去时，宾语从句的谓语必须是过去的某种时态，（宾语是客观真理时则无此限制） I thought (that) you are free today. (╳) I thought (that) you would be free today. ( √)

【注意】当宾语从句叙述的是客观真理时，不管主句谓语的时态如何，从句都用一般现在时。例如： The teacher told us (that) the earth moves around the sun.

3. 考查连接词的选用

1）连词that，只起连接作用，在从句中不作句子成分，也无词汇意义，在口语中常被省略。 He knew (that) he should work hard.

2）连词if、whether，它们起连接作用，在从句中不作句子成分，作“是否”解，在口语中多用if。 Tom don’t know if/whether his grandpa liked the present. He asked me whether or not I was coming.

一般情况下，if 和whether可以互换，但以下3种情况只能用whether：

B. don’t I

C. will they

D. won’t they

①在不定式前：Whether to go there or not hasn’t been decided. ②在介词前：It depends on(依靠) whether it is going to rain. ③与or not连用：They are talking about whether to go there or not.

3）连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which，连接副词when, where, why, how 它们起连接作用，作句子成分，各有自己的意义。 The teacher asked the new students which class he was in. I wonder where he got so much money.

4. 考查作介词宾语从句。宾语从句除了在及物动词后，也可以用在介词后。 They are worrying about whether they can get there in time. You can write about whatever topic you can think of.

5. 考查形容词后的宾语从句。 某些像glad, happy, sorry, sure, delighted, pleased等形容词后面跟宾语从句。 Are you sure what you will do next? I'm afraid that he will fail in the exam.

7. 考查不可以直接跟宾语从句的及物动词

英语中like, love, hate, dislike, depend on, see to等动词或短语后面不允许直接带宾语从句，通常在这些动词后面加it, 然后带相应的句子。如：I don’t like it when people talk with their mouths full.

8. 考查宾语从句的简化。由特殊疑问词引导的宾语从句，若从句的主语与主句的主语或间接宾语相一致时，可简化为―疑问词+不定式‖结构。

I don’t know how I should do with the presents. → I don’t know how to do with the presents.

9. 考查宾语从句中虚拟语气。 在demand、order、suggest、decide、insist, desire, demand, request, command等表示要求、命令、建议、决定等意义的动词后，宾语从句常用“should+ 动词原形”，should也可以省略。 She suggested we (should)leave here at once. The doctor ordered she should be operated.

10. 考查宾语从句的否定转移。当主句谓语动词为think, suppose, guess, believe, imagine, expect, consider等词时，并且主语为第一人称时，时态是一般现在时，从句的否定词应转移到主句谓语动词上来。能够形成否定转移的句子，其反意疑问句的简短问句谓语和主语形式与从句一致。 I don't think I know you. I don' t believe he will come. [分析诊断]

1. A。首先确定when所引导的是宾语从句而不是状语从句，表示将来的意义，要用将来时态，而且用陈述语序。

2. C。在think 引导的宾语从句里，where 引导表语从句，表语从句里有明显的时间状语today,所以用现在时态。本句的含义为“科学家认为大陆（以前）不在它们今天所处的位置。”

3. C。know后宾语从句谓语动词部分的be up to的意思是“从事„„”、“忙于„„”，少宾语，故选C，what引导的宾语从句作动词宾语。

4. B。从题干结构分析可以看出me后的部分是一个直接宾语从句，he said可以看成插入语，因此应选一个词来和he was going搭配；根据后句可知是时间，所以选B。

5 D。考查连接词的选用。do后是一个宾语从句，I think是插入语，should后省略了do，do又缺少宾语，所以用what引导。 6. C。考查名词行从句连接词的使用。前面有question of，介词后不能用if引导从句，也不用that，where虽然可以用于介词后，但意义不符合语境。

7. C。四个选项中只有what和which可以在从句中充当主语，而which 在名词从句中意为“哪一个”，因此在本题中意思不对，故选择C。

8. A。通过对本句句型结构的分析可以判断出介词on 后面带宾语从句，在宾语从句中why充当状语。比较：A modern city has been set up in what was a wasteland ten years ago. 在10年前是一片荒土的地方建起了一个现代化城市。通过对本句句型结构的分析可以判断出介词in 后面带宾语从句，在宾语从句中what 充当主语。

9. B。pleased之后可看作一个宾语从句，从句成分完整，故选that，无词义，不作成分。 10. C。it指代when从句所表达的内容，其本身无实义。

11. B。此题考查―疑问词+不定式‖结构

12. D。有空的一句应该是在提出建议，如果将问句改为陈述式结构来看就应该为You suggest we go to Beijing for our holidays by…，从句中应为虚拟语气结构“should+动词原形”，should可以省略。答案选D。 13. C。主句中含有suppose，且为否定，因此反意问句的译文部分和主句一致，所以用将来时态，虽然否定前移，但还要按否定，所以后面用肯定。
