英语复习:句式叠加及分解有法可依(2)
来源:学习方法发布时间:2011-10-21
C.he was realizing D.realized he
答案为A。题干中出现的“it is…that…”,说明有一个强调句;如果不是叠加在强调句中,以only on the way back home置于句首,应当使用倒装结构,即:
Only on the way back home did he realize he was cheated by the girl.
但由于“did he realize he was cheated by the girl.”这部分在强调句that之后,属于从句的位置,因此,不能使用疑问语序,故改为陈述结构,选择A。
例4 ——Where did you get to know her?
——It was on the farm _________ we worked.
A.that B.there
C.which D.where
答案为D。本题极易误选为A。本题中it不是强调结构没有任何意义的“it”,而是代指地点的“it”,它有含义。“你在哪里认识她的?”“是在(我们工作的)农场。”where为关系副词引导定语从句,修饰farm。
高考试题常常采用强调句和倒装以及复合句的句式叠加来设空置项,考查同学们的句式结构能力,在平时的训练中,要加强语句特别是复杂句式的辨别和分析,从而在考试时回答此类问题能够得心应手。
下面的5个题目供同学们做简单的训练。
1.David said that it was because of his strong interest in literature _____ he chose the course.
A. that B. what
C. why D. how
2.It was not until she got home _______ Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.
A. when B. that
C. where D. before
3.It is not who is right but what is right ______ is of importance.
A. which B. it
C. that D. this
4.It is what you do rather than what you say ____ matters.
A. that B. what
C. which D. this
5._____ electricity plays such an important part in our daily life?
A.why is it B.why is it that
C.why does it D.why was it
参考答案
1.A 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.B
四、强调句和状语从句的that要整体记忆结构
1.句子中的“it is (was)…that / who…”,如果可以整体从句子中剥离出去,而不影响句子的意思,则句子就使用了强调句结构。
例如:
It was after he got what he had desired
he realized it was not so important.
A. that B. when
C. since D. as
试选A,构成“It was…that…”的结构,并将其整体剥离,句子就成为:
“After he got what he had desired,he realized it was not so important.”句义完整,说明选择强调结构的“that”是正确的。
2.由“that, so that, in order that”引导的目的状语从句和“that, so that, so … that, such … that …”引导的结果状语从句,可以结合语句加以选择。
例如:
Pop music is such an important part of society ______ it has even influenced our language.
A. as B. that
C. which D. where
答案为B,that引导结果状语从句。
复合句和特殊句式中涉及的连接性词语很多,而that和what掌握起来相对比较难,同时因为它们也是考试的热点,因此,希望同学们在平时的学习和练习中加以注意并不断积累,力争突破好这个难点。
下面再请同学们练习几个题目。
1.In some countries, ______are called “public schools” are not owned by the state.
A. that B. which C. as D. what
