强调句重点和难点解析（一）

一、学习强调句要注意哪些

Was it in this palace ______ the emperor died?

A. that    B. in which    C. in where    D. which

此题应选A。这是一个强调句型。强调句的基本结构为：

It is [was]＋被强调部分＋that＋其它部分

He bought the book in this shop yesterday.

→It was he that bought the book in this shop yesterday. (强调主语he)

→It was the book that he bought in this shop yesterday. (强调宾语the book)

→It was in this shop that he bought the book yesterday. (强调地点状语in this shop)

另外注意以下两点：

1. 当被强调部分指人时, 可以用who代that；但是当被强调部分指物时通常不宜用which来代that(尽管有人用which, 但很不常见, 考试时应避免), 另外当被强调部分为时间或地点状语时, 一般也不宜用when / where代that(尤其是当这些状语为介词短语时)。

2. 被强调的成分除了是名词、代词、介词短语等之外, 也可以是从句(但通常不能是由 since, as引导的原因状语从句或由although引导的让步状语从句)：

It was because he loved my money that he married me. 他是因为爱我的钱才同我结了婚。

It was when he was about to go to bed that the telephone rang. 电话铃响时, 他刚好要上床睡觉。

二、强调句的特殊疑问形式

Who was ______ that stole the bike?

A. it    B. that    C. he    D. this

此题应选A。这是强调句的特殊疑问句形式, 做这类题考生最容易出错的在于不能识别这是强调句。比较：

a. It was Mary that said that. (对Mary提问)

→ Who was it that said that?

b. It was in 1949 that he joined the Party. (对 in1949 提问)

→ When was it that he joined the Party?

请做以下各题：

1. Who was it ______ put so many large stones on the road?

A. this    B. that    C. he    D. she

2. What was it _____ he lost on the bus the day before yesterday?

A. this    B. that    C. what    D. when

3. When was _____ that the general manager left for Japan?

A. he      B. it        C. that    D. since

4. Why was _____ that the old woman was sent to prison?

A. he    B. it        C. that    D. because

5. What a silly mistake it is _____ you’ve made!

A. it        B. this     C. that    D. which

答案：1. B 2. B 3. B 4. B 5. C

三、这不是强调句吗

It might have been John ______ bought a new book for Mary yesterday.

A. what    B. since    C. that     D. then

此题应选 C。此题的难点在于考生看不出这是一个强调句型, 因为主句的谓语动词be采用了might have been这一复杂形式。此句若改为非强调句, 则可以是：

John might have bought a new book for Mary yesterday. 约翰昨天可能给玛丽买了一本新书。

将此句改为强调句(强调主语), 则可以有两种形式：

a. It is John that might have bought a new book for Mary yesterday.

b. It might have been John that bought a new book for Mary yesterday.

又如：

It must be a girl that wrote the letter. 写这封信的一定是个女孩。

It might be yesterday that he left for Beijing. 他可能是昨天去北京的。

Can it be Jim that has stolen the money? 偷钱的会是吉姆吗?

It may be next week that he leaves for Paris. 他可能是下个星期去巴黎。

It might have been her boyfriend that bought so nice a handbag for her. 给她买那样好看一个手提 包的可能是她的男朋友。
