◆典型陷阱題分析◆

1. ____ that caused him to serve dinner an hour later than usual.

A. It was we being late                              B. It was our being late

C. It was we were too late                          D. It was because we were late

【陷阱】此題容易誤選D，認(rèn)為強(qiáng)調(diào)的是原因狀語(yǔ)從句 because we were late。

【分析】但實(shí)際上，此題的答案為B，強(qiáng)調(diào)的是句子主語(yǔ) our being late，此題若還原成非強(qiáng)調(diào)句，即為：

Our being late caused him to serve dinner an hour later than usual.

注意，強(qiáng)調(diào)句的一個(gè)顯著特點(diǎn)是，若去掉強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu) it is [was]… that…，句子仍然成立；換句話說(shuō)，該結(jié)構(gòu)中的 that 不能充當(dāng)句子成分。

A. it that                                                  B. he that

C. it when                                                D. he which

【陷阱】幾個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)均可能誤選。

【分析】答案選A，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式，其相應(yīng)的陳述句形式為：

It was totally by chance that they discovered the entrance to the underground palace.

比較以下各題，它們也屬?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式：

(1) Who was it _____ saved the drowning girl?

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

答案選C，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 who，該句實(shí)為類似 It was Tom that saved the drowning girl. 這類強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式（即對(duì)其中的Tom 提問(wèn)而得）。

(2) What is it _____ his daughter needs most?

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

答案選C，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 what，該句實(shí)為類似 It is a bike that his daughter needs most. 這類強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式（即對(duì)其中的a bike 提問(wèn)而得）。

3. _____ was very ______ that little Jim wrote the letter.

A. It, careful                                             B. It, carefully

C. He, careful                                           D. He, carefully

【陷阱】幾個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)均有可能誤選，但最有可能誤選的可能是A，認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)普通的系表結(jié)構(gòu)，即認(rèn)為第二空要填形容詞作表語(yǔ)。

【分析】其實(shí)，此題是一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句，其非強(qiáng)調(diào)形式為 Little Jim wrote the letter very carefully. 若用 it is … that… 的強(qiáng)調(diào)句式強(qiáng)調(diào)其中的狀語(yǔ) very carefully 即為上面一題的題干，所以答案應(yīng)選B。請(qǐng)看下面幾例，也屬?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)：

(1) It was when she was about to go to bed ______ the telephone rang.

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

答案選C，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 when she was about to go to bed 這一時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。

(2) It may have been at Christmas _____ John gave Mary a handbag.

A. before      B. who        C. that          D. when

答案選C，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 at Christmas，其中的動(dòng)詞 be 采用了 may have been 這一較為復(fù)雜的形式。

4. “Where did you find the professor who made the speech yesterday?” “It was in the hall ______ the students often have a meeting.”(www.hz123456.com)

A. where                                                  B. which

C. that                                                      D. when

【陷阱】很可能誤選C，認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句，強(qiáng)調(diào)地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ) in the hall。

【分析】假若選C，即有 It was in the hall that the students often have a meeting，該句的意思是“學(xué)生們通常是在大廳開(kāi)會(huì)”，單獨(dú)看這一句，無(wú)論是其意思還是其語(yǔ)法均未錯(cuò)，但若將其與上文聯(lián)系起來(lái)看，則不通，因?yàn)樯衔牡囊馑际?/FONT>“你是在哪兒找到昨天作報(bào)告的那位教授的?”假若將答句改為 It was in the hall that I found the professor，則完全可以。
