强调句型

强调句型考点解读

强调句型是高中英语中一个重要的语法项目，是高考重要考点之一。其基本结构

为：It+be+被强调部分＋that＋句子其余部分。本文拟结合高考试题对强调句

型的用法作如下归纳。

一、基本用法

1．在强调句型中，能够被强调的句子成分通常为主语、宾语、状语等，不能用来强调谓语动词、

表语等。当被强调部分为sb.，且在句中作主语时，可用who，也可用that，其它情况一律用that。

强调主语时，that后的谓语动词必须与被强调的主语人称与数保持一致。如：

Iamgoingtomeetmyfriendattheairporttomorrow.→

ItisIwhoamgoingtomeetmyfriendattheairporttomorrow.(强调主语)

ItismyfriendthatI’mgoingtomeetattheairporttomorrow.(强调宾语)

ItisattheairportthatI’mgoingtomeetmyfriendtomorrow.(强调地点状语)

ItistomorrowthatI’mgoingtomeetmyfriendattheairport.(强调时间状语)

2．在强调结构中，无论被强调的是人还是物，单数还是复数，be动词一律用单数is/was形式。

如果原句的谓语动词时态是过去范畴，就用was;如果原句的谓语动词时态是现在或将来范畴，

就用is。例如：

ItisTomandMarywhowillbefined.

Itwasyesterdaythathearrivedhere.

二、考点解读

1．强调句型的一般疑问句结构为：“Is/Wasit+被强调部分＋that＋句子其余部分”

例1．WasitduringtheSecondWorldWar____hedied(MET88)

例2．Was_____thatIsawlastnightattheconcert(上海97)

urlf

例3．---Wasn’ospoketoyoujustnow

---______.(上海96)

’,itwas

,hewasn’,hedid

解析：此句为强调句的一般疑问句的否定形式。其回答有两种可能：“Yes,itwas”或“No,itwasn’

t”，故选B.

2．强调句的特殊疑问句结构为：特殊疑问词＋is/wasitthat...

例4．Why!Ihavenothingtoconfess._____youwantmetosay(上海04)

isthat

sthat

3．强调主语、宾语。

例6．Itisthepoisonousproducts____cancauthesymptomsoftheflu,suchasheadacheand

achingmuscles.(NMET03)

例7．Itwashowtheyoungmanhadlearnedfiveforeignlanguages______attractedtheaudience’s

interest.(上海2000春)

h

例8．Itwastheabilitytodothejob____mattersnotwhereyoucomefromorwhatyouare.

(NMET2000)

4．强调状语

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

例9．Itwasabout600yearsago____thefirstclockwithafaceandanhourhandwasmade.

(NMET97)

例10．Itwasafterhegotwhathehaddesired___herealizeditwasnotsoimportant.(辽宁06)

例11．ItwasonlywhenIrereadhispoemsrecently____Ibegantoappreciatetheirbeauty.

(NMET98)

例12．Itwasbecauofbadweather____thefootballmatchhadtobeputoff.(上海03春)

例13．Itwaswheretherehadbeenatheatre____theybuiltanewmodernschool.

解析：本句强调地点状语从句wheretherehadbeenatheatre.故选C。

例14．Itwasonlywiththehelpofthelocalpeople___.（上海春04）

themountainclimberrescued

themountainclimberwasrescued

themountainclimberwasrescued

mountainclimberwasrescued

解析：本句强调方式状语onlywiththehelpofthelocalPeople.故选B

例15．Itwasinthebookstore____Imetyourbrothertheotherday.(上海90）

A．wherewhichthat

特别提示：对“not...until...”结构的强调，要用“Itis/wasnotuntil...that...”这一固定句型。由

于否定已经前移，that后只能用肯定形式。同时要注意不能使用倒装语序。如：

例16．Itwasnot____shetookoffherdarkglass____Irealizedshewasafamousfilmstar.

(NMET92)

;;that

;;then

解析：此题强调until引导的时间状语从句untilshetookoffherdarkglass，要将notuntil放在

一起置于Itwas/is之后。故选B.

例17．Itwas______backhomeaftertheexperiment.(湖北04)

ilmidnightdidhego

idnightthathedidn’tgo

ilmidnightthathewent

idnightwhenhedidn’tgo

5.首先判断该题是否为强调句型。

把“Itbe…that”去掉，如果剩余部分句子结构仍然完整（被强调部分要还原到原位置），那

么这个句子就是强调句；如果句子不完整，则不是强调句。
