专题十七 强调句
重难点分析
高考命题导向：“It is/was…who/that…”强调句型是高考考查的重点内容之一。此句型可强调主语、宾语、状语。如果要强调谓语，用do/does/did+动词原形。高考通常考查强调句与几个易混句型连词的使用和强调句的问句。
一、相关句型构成的强调句 1. 陈述句的强调句型
It is/was+被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/who(当强调主语且主语指人)+其他部分。如： It was yesterday that he met Li Ping. 他是昨天遇见李平的。 2. 一般疑问句的强调句型
同上，只是把is/was提到it前面。如：
Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping? 他是昨天遇见李平的吗？ 3. 特殊疑问句的强调句型
被强调部分(通常是疑问代词或疑问副词)+ is/was + it + that/who + 其他部分？ When and where was it that you were born? 你是何时何地出生的？ 4. not…until…句型的强调句
A. 句型为：It is/was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分 普通句：He didn’t go to bed until his wife came back. 强调句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
注意：此句型只用until，不用till。但如果不是强调句型，till, until可通用。 5. 谓语动词的强调
A. It is/was ... that ... 结构不能强调谓语，如果需要强调谓语时，用助动词do/does或did。如： Do sit down. 务必请坐。
Do be careful when you cross the street. 过马路时，务必(千万)要小心啊！
注意：此种强调只用do/does和did，没有别的形式；过去时用did，后面的谓语动词用原形。
二、强调句型注意事项一览表 说明 例句 1 强调主语时，其后的谓语动词和主语在人称和数上保持一致 It is he who/that often does good deeds. 是他经常做好事。 It is I who/that am looking for you. 是我找你。 It is the book that I want. 这是我要的书。 2 被强调部分除了指人时连词可用who/whom之外，其他情况下只能用that 3 not…until…句型的强调句 It was not until you told me that I realized my mistake. = Not until you told me did I realize my mistake. = I didn’t realize my mistake until you told me. 直到你告诉我，我才意识到自己的错误。 4 与主语从句(It is/was…that-clause)的区别 It is true/a fact that they won the game. (it是形式主语) 他们赢得了比赛是事实。(去掉It was…that后句子已不完整) It was in Xiamen that I first met him. 是在厦门我第一次遇到他。(强调句特点：去掉It was…that后句子仍完整) 5 与“It be…before(时间过多久才……) It was two hours before he worked out the problem. 两个小时/since(自……以来多长时间了)句型”的区别 后他才算出这道题。 It is two years since he joined the army. 他参军已两年了。 It was in 1919 that he was born. (强调句) 他于1919年出生。 It was 1919 when the May 4th Movement took place. (定语从6 与“It be…when/where定语从句”的区别 句) 五四运动发生于1919年。 It was in Beijing that I met him. (强调句) 我在北京遇到他的。 It was Beijing where I met him. (定语从句) 我在北京遇到了他。 注意：在美国英语中，强调句强调事物时常用which来代替that。 考点练透

Animals may also become extinct through direct destruction. This includes the hunting and capturing of animals. Humans have always hunted and killed wildlife 1 early humans lived more in harmony with nature, 2 killed animals for essentials like food and clothing. When guns 3 (invent), mass destruction of species was possible. Animals have been, and still are, killed 4 meat, clothing, medicines, feathers, eggs, trophies (战利品), tourist souvenirs — and sometimes just for amusement. Some species are still captured in the wild for the live pet trade, even though 5 numbers are decreasing.
The 6 (extinct) of at least 500 species of animals has been caused by man, most of them in this century. Today there are about 5,000 endangered animals and at least one species dies out every year. There are probably many more which become extinct 7 anyone knowing.
8 main threats to species then can be cited as poaching (非法狩猎), habitat loss and climate change. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has its own “red list” of endangered species 9 (range) from “least concern” through to “critically endangered”. It is their assessment 10 we will refer to here.

三、佳作欣赏 下面是一篇摘自全国英语高考书面表达的范文，文中有许多精彩且灵活的语言表达，其
中也包含有强调结构，用心体会其用法。
An old man fished by the river and he was so skillful that soon his basket was full of fish. A lovely child came by and the old man would like to give all his fish to him, but the child rejected. Surprised, the man asked for the reason and the child said, “I would like to take your fish pole, because this basket of fish would soon be eaten up, but with the fish pole, I can catch fish myself whenever I want to eat fish all my life.” The little child thought that he could get fish just with the fishing tool, but actually it is the skill to fish that is the key to countless fish. So rather than simply take the tools, we should always learn the way to “fish” in our life.
参考答案
考点练透 一、单句填空
1. that 2. that 3. since 4. when 5. that 6. before 7. What 8. where 9. who 10. what; that 二、语法填空
本文作者向我们介绍物种灭绝的原因以及濒危动物面临的状况。
1. but 空的前后是两个分句，故填连接词。根据两句间的关系可知，此处存在一个转折关系，故填but。 2. they 缺少主语填代词。they在此指代前面的early humans。
3. were invented 分析句子成分可知，动词invent作谓语，故只需要考虑时态和语态。根据上下语境可知时态是一般过去式，invent与主语guns存在被动关系。故填一般过去式被动语态were invented正确。
4. for 表目的用介词for。或者根据下文and sometimes just for amusement. Some species are still captured in the wild for the live pet trade也可知。 5. their 分析句子成分可知numbers在此作主语，但这到底是“谁的数量”？不清楚。所以需要填一个形容词性物主代词。此处their指前面的Some species的。
6. extinction 作主语用名词形式。
7. without 根据上下语境和句意可知，此处 7 anyone knowing理应是表示“没有任何人知道”，故填without。
8. The 表特指必须用定冠词。
9. ranging 分析句子成分可知，动词range在此作非谓语。此外range与逻辑主语endangered species是主动关系，故填ranging作伴随状语。
10. that 强调句型It is…that…，故填that。句意：我们将在这里涉及到的就是他们的评估(本句引出下文)。
