英语强调句题集

一、◆典型陷阱题分析◆

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】此题容易误选D，认为强调的是原因状语从句 because we were late。 【分析】但实际上，此题的答案为B，强调的是句子主语 our being late，此题若还原成非强调句，即为：

Our being late caused him to serve dinner an hour later than usual. 注意，强调句的一个显著特点是，若去掉强调结构 it is [was]… that…，句子仍然成立；换句话说，该结构中的 that 不能充当句子成分。

2. “How was ______ they discovered the entrance to the underground palace?” “Totally by chance.”

A. it that B. he thatC. it when D. he which 【陷阱】几个干扰项均可能误选。

【分析】答案选A，为强调句的特殊疑问句形式，其相应的陈述句形式为： It was totally by chance that they discovered the entrance to the underground palace.

比较以下各题，它们也属强调句的特殊疑问句形式： (1) Who was it _____ saved the drowning girl? A. since B. as C. that D. he

答案选C，被强调成分为 who，该句实为类似 It was Tom that saved the drowning girl. 这类强调句的特殊疑问句形式（即对其中的Tom 提问而得）。

(2) What is it _____ his daughter needs most? A. what B. which C. that D. if

答案选C，被强调成分为 what，该句实为类似 It is a bike that his daughter needs most. 这类强调句的特殊疑问句形式（即对其中的a bike 提问而得）。

3. _____ was very ______ that little Jim wrote the letter. A. It, careful B. It, carefullC. He, careful D. He, carefully 【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选，但最有可能误选的可能是A，认为这是一个普通的系表结构，即认为第二空要填形容词作表语。

【分析】其实，此题是一个强调句，其非强调形式为 Little Jim wrote the letter very carefully. 若用 it is … that… 的强调句式强调其中的状语 very carefully 即为上面一题的题干，所以答案应选B。请看下面几例，也属强调结构：

(1) It was when she was about to go to bed ______ the telephone rang. A. since B. as C. that D. then

答案选C，被强调成分为 when she was about to go to bed 这一时间状语从句。 (2) It may have been at Christmas _____ John gave Mary a handbag. A. before B. who C. that D. when

答案选C，被强调成分为 at Christmas，其中的动词 be 采用了 may have been 这一较为复杂的形式。

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

A. where B. which C.that D. when 【陷阱】很可能误选C，认为这是一个强调句，强调地点状语 in the hall。 【分析】假若选C，即有 It was in the hall that the students often have a meeting，该句的意思是“学生们通常是在大厅开会”，单独看这一句，无论是其意思还是其语法均未错，但若将其与上文联系起来看，则不通，因为上文的意思是“你是在哪儿找到昨天作报告的那位教授的?”假若将答句改为 It was in the hall that I found the professor，则完全可以。

其实，此题的最佳答案是A，where the students often have a meeting 为定语从句，用以修饰其前的名词 the hall，句意为“是在学生们经常开会的那个大厅(找到教授的)”，这样语意就通顺了。

5. It was what he meant rather than what he said ______ annoyed me.

A. which B. asC. what D. that 【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选。

【分析】此题为一个强调句型，空格处应填 that (即选D)，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”。请再看两例：

(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“很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“重要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”。

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

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

【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选，主要是分不清为强调句型，或即使分清为强调句型，也分不清强调哪一个成分。

【分析】答案选A，第一空填 which，用以引导定语从句；第二空填that，为强调句的结构词，被强调部分为 in the small house (以及修饰它的定语从句 which was built with stones by his father)。此题难就难在强调句型中套用了定语从句。请再看类似例子：

(1) 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 (以及修饰它的定语从句who had been in prison)。

(2) It was just in the room _____ he was born _____ he died.

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

此题答案选C，全句为强调句，被强调成分是 in this room，where he was born 为修饰 the room 的定语从句。

7. Was it five o’clock ______the fire broke out?

A. when B. thatC. which D. in which 【陷阱】容易误选B，误认为这是强调句。

【分析】其实，此题应选A，这不是强调句。因为在强调句中，若去掉强调句的结构词 it is [was]…that…，句子结构仍然完整，但此句不是这样，若去掉结构词，即为 Five o’clock the fire broke out，句子不完整，但若在five o’clock前加上介词at则可以，因为 at five o’clock 用作时间状语。此题选A可分析为：it 表时间，when the fire broke out 为时间状语从句，全句意为“火灾是5点钟发生的吗?”比较下面一题（答案选B，为强调句）：

Was it at five o’clock ______the fire broke out? A. when B. thatC. which D. in which

8. “Was it under the tree _____ you were away talking to a friend?” “Sure. But when I got back there, the bike was gone.

A. that B. whereC. which D. while 【陷阱】此题很容易误选A，认为这是强调句型。

【分析】其实此题应选D。做好此题的关键是正确理解上下文的语境。在此句中，it 是代词，指代 the bike，句意为：“当你离开去同朋友谈话的时候，你的自行车是在这树下吗?”“当然，但当我回来时，自行车就不见了。”现在反过来分析一下，假若选A，将此句判为强调句，句子即为 Was it under the tree that you were away talking to a

friend? 若进一步转换为非强调句，句子则为 Under the tree while you were talking to a friend，句意显然很荒唐。

9. It’s more than half a century _____ my grandfather joined the Party and became a servant to the people.

A. when B. thatC. since D. while 【陷阱】容易误选B，认为这是强调句型。

【分析】假若选B，将此句分析为强调句，那么若将此句还原为非强调句就应该是My grandfather joined the Party and became a servant to the people more than half a century. 很显然, 句中的 more than half a century 是一段时间，然而它修饰的谓语动词 joined…became 却是两个终止性动词，这显然不合适。其实，此题应选C，属

于“It is＋一段时间＋since 从句”句型，句意为“我爷爷加入党组织成为人民的公仆已有半个多世纪了”。此句的主句谓语也可以用现在完成时态(has been)，但在口语中多用一般现在时代替。

10. It was lack of money, not of effort, _____ defeated their plan. A. which B. asC.that D. what

【陷阱】容易误选A，受空格前逗号的影响，误认为这是一个非限制性定语从句，从而误选了A。

【分析】其实，此题最佳答案为C，整个句子为强调句，被强调成分为 lack of money, not of effort。由于句中插入 not of effort 这一结构，干扰了许多同学对 it was lack of money that defeated their plan 这一强调句的认识和理解。

二、练习

11. It was after he got what he had desired _______ he realized it was not so important.

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

12. It was what he meant rather than what he said _______ annoyed me. A. that B. it C. what D. which 【答案详解】

1. C。句意为“我真的不知道我的手机是在哪儿被偷的”。强调句的特殊疑问句由“特殊疑问词+is / was + that / who / whom +句子其余部分”构成。

2. B。此题考查强调句的一般疑问句结构：Is / Was+ it + 被强调的部分+ that / who / whom+句子其余部分? 被强调的部分是because引导的原因状语从句。

3. C。本题强调的的宾语从句中的主语。还原为陈述句是：I just don’t understand what prevents so many Americans from being as happy as one might expect。 4. C。本题考查强调句的基本结构。此题被强调的主语部分较复杂，the news是主语，后面的of not being the first to know and everyone who did know lying to me about it作the news的定语。句子的简单结构是：It was the news that hurt me.

5. A It is / was not until…that…是not…until… 的强调式，为固定结构。

6. B。强调主语 the protection for the trees。

7. A。许多同学会受空格前面逗号的影响，认为此句是非限制性定语从句，对前面的his word and action 或his appearance进行说明，从而将答案误选为B、C或D。而事实上，此题的正确答案为A，整个句子是强调句型It was… that…，强调his word and action, but not his appearance部分。

8. C。因为not…until…的强调结构是：it be not until…that…(肯定)。也不要用倒装，故选C。顺便说说，也可用not until开头来强调，此时要倒装，请比较：Not until midnight did he go back…

9. A。考查强调结构的特殊疑问句的句式。因为及物动词say要接宾语，排除C和D; 这是一个疑问句，所以is要放在it之前，排除B，只有A正确。

10. D。因为It wasn’t until…that…是not…until…的强调结构。

11. A。考查“it be+被强调成分+that…”这一强调句式，句中的被强调成分为after he got what he had desired。

12. A。被强调部分为 what he meant rather than what he said，其中的 rather than 相当于 but not。全句意为：让我恼火的不是他所说的话，而是他话里（隐含）的意思。

三、高考英语考查强调句的常见考点

（一）考查强调结构的基本形式

即考查it was…that (that)…这一强调句式的用法，其考点主要涉及句首it的正确使用（通常用this, that, he, she等进行干扰），句中that的正确使用（通常用what, which, how, when, since, before, after, as等进行干扰）等。如：

(1) David said that it was because of his strong interest in literature _______ he chose the course. (上海卷)

A. that B. what C. why D. how

答案为A。考查“it be+被强调成分+that…”这一强调句式，被强调成分为介词短语because of his strong interest in literature。

(2) I don’t mind her criticizing me, but _______ is how she does it that I object to. (江西卷)

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

答案为A。此题考查强调结构it is...that…的用法，被强调成分为how she does it。句意为：我不介意她批评我，我反对的是她批评我的方式。

（二）考查强调结构特殊疑问句形式

强调结构it is (was)…that…的特殊疑问句形式为“疑问词+is (was) it that…”。遇到这类题时，关键是要能够识别它是强调结构，同时根据句意或句子成分确定相应疑问词的选择。如：

(1) — _______ that he manage to get the information? —Oh, a friend of his helped him. (山东卷)

A. Where was it B. What was it C. How was it D. Why was it 答案为C。考查强调结构的特殊疑问句形式，根据答语的意思可知，问句用疑问词how最合适。how在此表示方式。

(2) I just wonder _______ that makes him so excited. (山东卷) A. why it does B. what he does C. how it is D. what it is

答案为D。考查强调结构的特殊疑问句形式。由于其中的动词makes缺主语，说明空格处应填一个能用用主语的疑问词，由此可排除how，故可确定正确答案只能在B和D之间；再根据强调结构的基本句式“疑问词+is (was) it that…”可知，答案只能是D。

（三）综合考查强调结构和not…until句式

not…until句式用于强调结构时，其基本结构为it was not until…that…格式，命题切入点主要有三个方面：一是考查it was not until的正确形式（通常用其肯定式进行干扰），二是考查其中的that的正确用法（通常用when等干扰），三是考查not until后的语序（应用正常语序，但可能用倒装语序来干扰）。如：

(1) It was ________ he came bank from Africa that year ________ he met the girl he would like to marry. (江西卷)

A. when; then B. not; until C. not until; that D. only; when 答案为C。考查not…until…的强调句形式，其基本结构是it was not until…that…，如：It was not until I met you that I knew real happiness. 直到我遇到你以后，我才真正体会到幸福。

(2) It _______ we had stayed together for a couple of weeks _______ I found we had a lot in common. (浙江卷)

A. was until; when B. was until; that C. wasn’t until; when D. wasn’t until; that

答案为D。此题考查not…until…句式的强调形式It was not until…that…的用法。注意不要想当然地将其中的that换成when。

四、综合考查强调结构和not…but…句式

综合考查强调结构与not…but…句式所采用的命题形式通常为it is (was) not…but…that…形式。如：

(1) It is not who is right but what is right _______ is of importance. (重庆卷)

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

答案为C。此题考查it is…that…这一强调句式，被强调的是not who is right but what is right，全句意为：重要的不是谁是对的，而是什么才是对的。

(2)—I’ve read another book this week.

—Well, maybe ________ is not how much you read but what you read that counts. (浙江卷)

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

答案为D。此题考查强调句式的用法。It is not how much you read but what you read that counts其实是一个强调句，其意为“重要的不是你读了多少，而是你读了些什么”。句中的count意为“重要”“有重要性”，与动词matter意思相同。又如：You really count with me. 对我来说你确实很重要。

有时也考查not…but…的同义结构…rather than…与强调结构的综合运用。如： (2) It is what you do rather than what you say _______matters (天津卷) A. that B. what C. which D. this

答案为A。被强调成分为what you do rather than what you say，全句意为：重要的是看你怎么做，而不是看你怎么说。
