Sentence patterns:
1．強調句型的運用與高考
強調句型常用于書面語，也可用于口語，用來突出說話人要強調的語言信息，給對方以強烈的印象和感受。強調句型是高考范圍內的語法內容，更是高考命題者頗為青睞的語法項目之一。下面對該句型的用法作一闡述。
一、句型特征及含義
強調句又稱為分裂句。其結構形式為“It ＋be的適當形式＋被強調部分＋that／who ＋其它”。在該句型中，it無詞義，且不可用this，that換用；若原句的謂語動詞用了現在時或將來時，則be動詞用is；若原句的謂語動詞用了過去時，則be動詞用was。有時為了表達需要，也可在be前加上may／might／must等情態動詞；若被強調部分是人，引導詞用 who（若強調部分是作賓語的人，則也可用 whom）或that均可；若是其它強調部分，則一律用that。翻譯時常加上“正是……；就是……”等字眼，以突出其強調含義。例如：
It is I who am to visit Hangzhou tomorrow．就是我明天要去杭州參觀。
．．．for it was in Greece that Olympic competitions firstly started．
（SEFC BIII L34）……因為就是在希臘奧林匹克運動會首次開始舉辦的。
It must be John that／who will take part in the contest on behalf of our class．
必定是約翰將代表我們班參賽。
It might be at the party that Tom knew her．
可能就是在這次聚會上湯姆認識她的。
二、強調角度及運用
1．強調主語、賓語或狀語。例如：
It was John who／that broke the glass yesterday．（強調主語）
It is me who／whom／that you should help．（強調賓語）
It was at the gate that he told me the news．（強調地點狀語）
It was with great joy that he received the news that his long lost son would soon return home．（強調程度狀語）
It is by bus that Wang Gang often goes to school．（強調方式狀語）
It was about 600years ago that the first clock with a face and an hour hand was made．（強調時間狀語）
It was in order to catch the first bus that they got up earlier．（強調目的狀語）
2．強調狀語從句。
（1）強調時間狀語從句：
It was only when I reread his poems recently that I began to appreciate their beauty．
（2）強調原因狀語從句：
It was because Li Ping was ill that he didn't come to school last week．
（3）強調地點狀語從句：
It is where you come from that you should return to it．
（4）強調方式狀語從句：
It is as you like that you may do everything．
3．強調含有“not．．．until．．．”結構的句子時，要用
“It is／was not until．．．that．．．”結構。that后的句子要用肯定句，且須用陳述語序。
例如：
It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I recognized she was a famous
film star．
It was not until 1920 that regular radio broadcasts began．
4．強調含有定語從句的主語、賓語或狀語。例如：
Was it at the school which was named after a hero that he spent his childhood？
5．強調含有either．．．or．．．，neither．．．nor．．．，
not only．．．but also．．．，as well as，not．．．but．．．等詞組所構成的句子。例如：
It was neither you nor he that is willing to go to the Great Wall．
It was he as well as his classmates who has ever been to Suzhou．
三、句型轉換及主謂一致
1．變為一般疑問句（把主句中的be動詞或情態動詞提到句首即可）
Was it during the Second World War that he died？
2．變為特殊疑問句（須用“特殊疑問詞＋be或情態動詞＋it＋that．．．？”結構）
When could it be that he went to our country？
3．變為否定疑問句（須在主句上進行變化）
Couldn't it be by plane that he went to France？
4．強調句型的反意疑問句（須和主句一致）
It was at eleven last night that I knew the good news，wasn't it？
5．強調句型的主謂一致問題（即使被強調部分是復數含義，主句的謂語動詞仍然用單數形式）
It is they who often help me with my lessons．
It was these books that they bought the day before yesterday．
注意：若強調句在整個復合句中作賓語，強調句須用陳述語序。例如：
He told me that it was Li Hua who was standing under the tree reading English．
四、相似句型及異同
1．強調句和主語從句句型（指“It＋ be ＋adj．／n．＋that-clause”類型）的異同點
二者均有It be．．．that／who．．．之類的語言標志。所不同的是：（1）含有主語從句的句子譯為漢語時不可加上“正是……”或“就是……”之類的字眼，而強調句則可以。（2）含有主語從句的句子若刪掉It be．．．that／who．．．，則原句不論結構還是語意均不成立，而強調句去掉結構標志卻仍然成立。例如：
It is true that he once went to Canada．（不可去掉It is及that，否則原句不成立。）
It was on December 11，2001that China became a member of WTO．（去掉強調結構原句仍然成立。）
2．含有定語從句的強調句型
強調句型中含有定語從句，往往會給學生造成錯覺，以致分不清哪一句是強調部分，哪一句是定語從句，尤其是強調句中的定語從句的引導詞是that或who時，更容易造成錯覺。辦法是仔細分析that或who在句中的作用：若that或who可有可無（結合it be來分析），則為強調句，否則是定語從句。例如：
It was in the lab that was set up by Mr．Smith that they finished the experiment．
（lab后的that不可以省略，因為that作該句的主語。句中第二個that才是強調句的標志。）
It was Tang Ling who came from Hunan that won the first prize in the contest．
（who在該句中作主語，所以不可以省略，后面的that才是強調句的標志。）
3．定語從句與強調結構。試比較：
1)It is the house where I met the young man.
(where 引導定語從句，修飾house，where在定語從句中作地點狀語)
2)It was in the house that I met the young man.
(本句為強調結構，可還原為I met the young man in the house.)

II.with引導的獨立主格結構
英語中，with引導的獨立主格結構很富有表現力，在句子中作狀語，表示伴隨、方式、原因、結果等。它不是句子而是短語，其結構為：with＋名詞／ 代詞 ＋ 介詞短語 ／ 形容詞 ／副詞 ＋ 名詞 ／ 非謂語動詞。 現將with引導的獨立主格結構作一小結。

1. ______ two exams to worry about, I have to work really hard this weekend. (北京2004)
A. With B. Besides C. As for D. Because of

A. for B. with C. from D. of
[解析]答案是B。這還是“with +賓語+賓語補足語”結構。
III. so/such/as/ the same as/that的區別。
as 的用法：
例1.the same… as；such…as; as / so…as…中的as 是一種固定結構, 和……一樣……。as既可指人，也可指物，常在限制性定語從句中充當主、賓、表語。as引導的定語從句的先行詞前面常有as ／such ／the same等修飾詞。還要注意區分下列兩個詞組：
1．“such．．．that．．．”表“如此……以致……”的意思，用來引導一個結果狀語從句；而“such．．．as．．．”表“像……這（那）樣”的意思，用來引導定語從句，as在定語從句中充當主、賓、表語等。試比較下列兩個句子：
①He is such an honest man that we respect him.
他是一個如此誠實的人以致我們都尊敬他。
② He is such an honest man as we respect．他像我們所尊敬的那種誠實的人。
2．“the same．．．that．．．”表同一人或物，而“the same．．．as．．．”表同種類的東西。試比較下列兩個句子：①This is the same book that I lost．這就是我丟失的那一本書。（指同一本書）②This is the same book as I lost．我丟失的那一本書一模一樣。（并不是原來的那一本）
例如：
He is as brave a man as ever lived．他是世界上最勇敢的人。
Don't read such books as are not worth reading．不要讀那些不值得讀的書。
I have got into the same trouble as he (has).
The film is so good as we saw last night.(as 作saw 的賓語)
Cf.The film is so good that we moved to tears.(that是連詞，不作句子成分,引導結果狀語從句)
Last night we saw such a good film as we had expected.(as作expected的賓語)
Cf.Last night we saw such a good film that we thought it’s worth seeing again. (that是連詞，不作句子成分,引導結果狀語從句)
