英语强调句学习的四个错点

英语强调句学习的四个错点

易错点1、混淆强调句与定语从句

It was in the small house ________ was built with stones by his father ________ he spent his childhood.

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

答案选A，填对此句的重点是要弄清第二空需要填 that，由于这是一个强调句，被强调部分为 in the small house 。又如：

It was the boy ________ had been in prison ________ stole the money.

A. who, where B. that, how C. who, that D. that, which

此题答案选C，全句为强调句，被强调成分是 the boy 。

易错点1、混淆强调句与状语从句

It’s more than half a century ________ the People’s Republic of China was liberated.

A. when B. that C. since D. after

有些考生一见到句首的 it’s，再一看选项中的that，就立刻联想到It is...that... 如此的强调句型，并觉得被强调的成分是时间状语 more than half a century，从而毫不犹豫地选择了B。根据以上剖析，假若这是强调句，那样若将此句还原为非强调句就应该是The People’s Republic of China was liberatedmore than half a century. 非常显然, 句中的 more than half a century 是一段时间，然而它修饰的谓语动词liberated 却是一个终止性动词，按此意思则是说“解放中国”这一动作一直持续了半个多世纪，这显然是荒唐的。其实，此题应选C，是“It is＋一段时间＋since 从句”句型，句意为“自中国解放以来, 时间已过去半个多世纪”。此句的主句谓语也可以用目前完成时态，但在口语中一般多用一般目前年代替。

易错点3、混淆强调句与主语从句

It is the Forbidden City that we are going to visit. = We are going to visit the Forbidden City. 大家要去紫禁城。

It is true that we are going to visit the Forbidden City. = That we are going to visit the Forbidden City.

注：强调句型的一个显著特征就是，若去掉强调句型的结构词 it is / was 和 that / who，句子结构依旧完整，如果是其他句型，则不可以。

易错点4、被复杂的被强调成分所迷惑

It was what he meant rather than what he said ________ annoyed me.

A. which B. as C. what D. that

很多同学对此题的结构剖析感到无从下手。其实，此题为一个强调句型，空格处应填 that ，被强调成分为 what he meant rather than what he said。句意为“让我生气的不是他说的话，而是他话中的意思”。请再看几例：

1. It was his nervousness in the interview ________ probably lost him the job.

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

答案选C，为强调句型，被强调成分为 his nervousness in the interview，句意为“非常可能是面试时表现出紧张，使他失去了这份工作”。

2. It is the ability to do the job ________ matters not where you come from or what you are.

A. one B. that C. what D. it

答案选B，为强调句型，被强调成分为 the ability to do the job，句意为“要紧的是你做工作的能力，而不是你来自何地或你是从事什么工作的”。
