[例] It was in today‘s newspaper that we found the news. 他是在今天的报纸上打到那条新闻的。
去掉It was … that后,句子可以整理为:We found the news in today‘s newspaper. 这是一个完整的句子,故本句是强调句。
强调句型的常见考法:
①用介词短语来作为被强调的部分。
[例] It was for this reason that he left the company. 正是因为此原因他才离开公司。
It was in this way that he solved the problem. 正是用这种办法他才解决了问题。
②用时间状语从句、条件状语从句等作为强调的部分
[例] It was only when I reread his poems that I began to appreciate their beauty. 我在重读了他的诗歌之后才开始欣赏到这些诗歌的美。
③用not until结构作为被强调的部分。
[例] It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a film star. 直到她取下眼镜之后我才意识到她是一位影星。
④在被强调的部分后接定语从句,使句子结构更加复杂。 [例] It was on July 5th, 1980 when he was born that his father died. 他是在1980年7月5日即其父亲去世的那一天出生的。
⑤通过句型转换来进行考查。如把肯定句改成一般疑问句或特殊疑问句,或把肯定句改成否定句或否定疑问句等。
[例] Was it during the Second World War that he died? 他是在二战期间去世的吗?
When was it that the sports meeting began? 运动会什么时候开始?
It was not Tom that stole the book. 不是汤姆偷了书。
Wasn‘t it he that had made a mistake? 难道不是他犯了错误的吗?
⑥通过改变系动词的形式来进行考查。强调句型的系动词除了用is或was外,还可以在其前面加上may / might / must等表示推测的情态动词。 [例] It might be him that you met yesterday.
你昨天遇到的或许是他。 [高考示例]
1. I just wonder ___ that makes him so excited. (06山东卷32) A. why it does B. what he does C. how it is D. what it is 答案D。

2. With so many people communicating in English every day, we can see that it will be more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.
每天有这么多的人用英语交流,我们可以看出掌握英语是越来越重要。
“with +宾语+宾补”是with引起的复合结构,常用作原因或伴随状语,也可作定语。 除了可以用现在分词形式作宾补外,根据宾补与宾语的关系,还有以下形式: with +宾语+形容词 with +宾语+副词 with +宾语+介词短语 with +宾语+过去分词
21
with +宾语+动词不定式
[例] He fell asleep with the window open.

由于没有什么事情可做,我便到外面去散步。 [典题示例] (2007·安徽卷)
John received an invitation to dinner, and with his work ______, he gladly accepted it. A. finished B. finishing C. having finished D. was finished 答案:A
解析:with sth. done为独立主格,作伴随状语。
3. However, most of the time people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other.
然而,在多数时间里,英国人和美国人都能容易地相互听懂对方所说的话。
常用句型have / find / there be + (any / some / no / much, etc.) difficulty (in) doing sth / with sth.表示“做某事有??的困难”,其中difficulty通常用单数形式。 [例] We have no difficulty (in) dealing with the matter.
我们处理此事没有困难。
He found some difficulty in finishing the task / with the task on time. 他发现按时完成任务有些困难。
本短语中difficulty也可替换成trouble,均为不可数名词。后接名词时,常用介词with。
4. For a long time the language in America stayed the same, while the language in England changed.
长期以来,美国英语保持原状,但英国英语却发生了变化。 此句中的while意为“而;然而”,表示转折对比。
[例] He always stays the calm while his brother gets excited easily.
他总是很平静,而他弟弟却很容易激动。
There‘s plenty of rain in the southeast, while there‘s little in the northeast. 东南部雨量充足,而东北部则很少下雨。
Some people waste food while others haven‘t enough. 有些人浪费粮食,然而有些人却吃不饱。 You like sports, while I prefer music. 你喜欢体育,而我更喜欢音乐。
( 1 )在作“然而”解时,while句子不能放在前面。while和but有所不同,while用于对比,but表示转折;在用同一个主语表达不同动作并进行转折时应用but,不用while来表示转折。下面两句均不能用while。
[例] He is not a scientist, but a musician.
他不是科学家,而是音乐家。 I like sports but don‘t like music. 我喜欢体育而不喜欢音乐。
( 2 ) while 引导让步状语从句时,意为“尽管; 虽然”。
[例] While I don‘t have much money, I would like to help the people who need help. [典题示例]
1. We thought there were 35 students in the dining hall ______, in fact, there were 40. (06·全国)

2. ______ I really don‘t like art, I find his work impressive. (07·山东卷)
A. As B. Since C. If D. While 答案:D
解析:while引出让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然”,此处while不表转折,而表让步。 3. I‘d like to study law at university ______ my cousin prefers geography. (07·四川卷)
A. though B. as C. while D. for 答案:C
解析:while表示对比转折,意为“然而”。
4. I won‘t call you _______ something unexpected happens. (07·全国卷I) A. unless B. whether C. because D. while 答案:A
解析:考查连词的用法,unless意为“如果不?,除非?”。即:如果没有意外之事,我不给你打电话了。whether意为“是否”;because表原因,意为“因为”;while表时间等,意为“当?之时”,皆不合题意。

If you want to live longer and lower the risk of heart disease, a move to the mountains may help. Research by scientists in Greece show that mountain dwelling is good for the heart and longevity. People living at higher altitude have lower odds of dying from heart disease than those closer to sea level, even if they have factors that could increase their risk. ―Residence in mountainous areas seems to have a ?protective effect‘ from total and coronary mortality,‖ said Dr Nikos Baibas of the University of Athens. He and his colleagues suspect that the increased exercise from walking up mountainous terrain gives the heart a good workout and enables it to cope with lower levels of oxygen. Researchers studied the health records and death rates of 1,150 Greeks who lived in three villages near Athens over 15 years. One village was 1,000 metres above sea level and the other two were in low-lying areas. Although men and women living in the mountainous village had higher blood pressure rates and other risk factors than people in the other village, they had a lower rate of death from heart disease and other causes after a 15 year follow-up. ―The contrast was more evident among men than among women,‖ Baibas added in a report in the Journal of Epidemiology(流行病学) and Community Health. Heart disease is one of the world‘s top killers. Smoking, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol(高胆固醇) levels, being overweight or obese and a family history of the illness increase the odds of developing the disease.
56. The underlined word ―odds‖ in this passage in most near in meaning to ______. A. function B. probability C. trend D. danger
57. Scientists believe that mountain living is good for heart and health mainly because ______. A. people can take in fresh air B. people get shocks or surprises C. the heart can get enough exercise D. oxygen in mountains is lower
58. From the passage we know that those who‘re easily suffering from high blood pressure rates are ______.
A. people living at higher altitude B. people living at lower altitude C. people living in big cities D. people living by the sea 59. It seems that the writer of this passage is ______. A. troubled as where to live B. suffering from a bad heart disease C. in doubt about mountain living D. in favour of mountain living
