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
