大家知道，英語(yǔ)強(qiáng)調(diào)句型的基本結(jié)構(gòu)是it is…that…，而不是it is … when…，所以有的同學(xué)下題選擇了A。

It was ten o’clock ______ he came back.
A. that??????? B. when??????? C. so????????? D. which

其實(shí)此題最佳答案為B，這不是一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。when引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，全句意為“當(dāng)他回來(lái)時(shí)，時(shí)間是10點(diǎn)鐘”。比較以下強(qiáng)調(diào)句型：

It was at ten o’clock that he came back. 他是10點(diǎn)鐘回來(lái)的。
It was after ten o’clock that he came back. 他是在10點(diǎn)過(guò)后回來(lái)的。
It was before ten o’clock that he came back. 他是在10點(diǎn)前回來(lái)的。

再比較：

It is autumn when leaves fall. 當(dāng)樹(shù)葉落的時(shí)候就是秋天了。
It is in autumn that leaves fall. 樹(shù)在秋天落葉。

另外，下面的句子也不是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型：

1. It’s a long time ______ I met you last.
A. that??????? B. since??????? C. when????????? D. which

2. It was more than a year now _____ he had seen her.
A. that??????? B. since??????? C. when????????? D. which

3. “Was it here _____ you were away talking to a friend?” “Sure. But when I got back there, it was gone.”
A. that?????? B. while?????? C. which?????? D. where

以上三題均選B，即前面兩句填since，其意為“自從”；第3題填while，其意為“在……期間”。

二、受疑問(wèn)句式的影響將強(qiáng)調(diào)句型誤判為非強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。如：

1. When was _____ that the general manager left for Japan?
A. he???????? B. it??????? C. that??????? D. since???

答案選B，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式?？梢暈?It was in May that the general left for Japan的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式。

2. “How was ______ they discovered the entrance to the underground palace?” “Totally by chance.”
A. it that?????????? B. he that??????? C. it when???????????? D. he which

答案選A，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式，其相應(yīng)的陳述句形式為：It was totally by chance that they discovered the entrance to the underground palace.

3. Who was it _____ saved the drowning girl?
A. since????? B. as???????? C. that????????? D. he

答案選C，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 who，該句實(shí)為類(lèi)似 It was Tom that saved the drowning girl. 這類(lèi)強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式（即對(duì)其中的Tom 提問(wèn)而得）。

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

答案選C，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 what，該句實(shí)為類(lèi)似 It is a bike that his daughter needs most. 這類(lèi)強(qiáng)調(diào)句的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式（即對(duì)其中的a bike 提問(wèn)而得）。

三、受復(fù)雜結(jié)構(gòu)的影響將強(qiáng)調(diào)句型誤判為非強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。如：

1. It might have been John _____ bought a present for Mary yesterday.
A. that??????? B. when??????? C. what????????? D. which

答案選A，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，只是其中的動(dòng)詞be采用了might have been這一復(fù)雜結(jié)構(gòu)。

2. It was what he meant rather than what he said ______ annoyed me.
A. which?????? B. as??? C. what?????? D. that

答案選D，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分為 what he meant rather than what he said，句意為“讓我生氣的不是他說(shuō)的話，而是他話中的意思”。

3. It was his nervousness in the interview ______ probably lost him his job.
A. which????? B. since???? C. that???????? D. what

答案選C，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 his nervousness in the interview，句意為“很可能是面試時(shí)表現(xiàn)出緊張，使他失去了這份工作”。

4. 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

答案選B，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 the ability to do the job，句意為“重要的是你做工作的能力，而不是你來(lái)自何地或你是從事什么工作的”。

5. It was just in the room _____ he was born _____ he died.
A. where, which??? B. that, that??? C. where, that????? D. which, that

答案選C，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分是 in the room，where he was born 為修飾 the room 的定語(yǔ)從句。

6. It was _____back home after the experiments.

A. not until midnight did he go???????????? B. until midnight that he didn’t go
C. not until midnight that he went????????? D. until midnight when he didn’t go

答案選C，為not…until…句式的強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)(it be not until…that…)句式的強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)。

7. It was with great joy _____ he received the news ______ his lost daughter had been found.

A. because, when?????????????????????????????? B. which, that

C. since, how????????????????????????????????? D. that, that

答案選D，第一空填that，構(gòu)成強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 with great joy；第二空也填that，用以引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句，修飾名詞the news。

8. I don’t know _____makes her afraid of having her business discussed.

A. what it is about Mary that?????????????? B. that is it abut Mary what
C. what is it about Mary that?????????????? D. that is about Mary what

答案選A，在通常情況下，強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)的特殊疑問(wèn)句形式為“疑問(wèn)詞+is it that…?”，但此題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是賓語(yǔ)從句，其語(yǔ)序與陳述句相同，所以是what it is…that…

四、受插入語(yǔ)的影響將強(qiáng)調(diào)句型誤判為非強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。如：

1. It was lack of money, not of effort, _____ defeated their plan.
A. which　　　　B. as?????? C. that?????? D. what

答案選C，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 lack of money, not of effort。由于句中插入了 not of effort這一成分，許多同學(xué)便看不出這是強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)。

2. It was because of English girlfriend, believe it or not, ______ his English improved so greatly.
A. which??? B. as?????? C. that?????? D. what

答案選C，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分為 because of English girlfriend。由于句中插入了believe it or not這一成分，致使許多同學(xué)誤認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。

五、受省略結(jié)構(gòu)的影響將強(qiáng)調(diào)句型誤判為非強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。如：

“Who are making so much noise in the garden?” “_______ the children.”

A. It is??????? B. They are???? C. That is????????????? D. There are

答案選A，答語(yǔ)為強(qiáng)調(diào)句型 It is the children who are making so much noise 之省略。

六、因忽略句子結(jié)構(gòu)而將強(qiáng)調(diào)句型誤判為非強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。如：

______ 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

此題容易誤選D，認(rèn)為強(qiáng)調(diào)的是原因狀語(yǔ)從句 because we were late。但實(shí)際上，此題的答案為B，強(qiáng)調(diào)的是句子主語(yǔ) our being late，此題若還原成非強(qiáng)調(diào)句，即為：Our being late caused him to serve dinner an hour later than usual. 注意，強(qiáng)調(diào)句的一個(gè)顯著特點(diǎn)是，若去掉強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu) it is [was]… that…，句子仍然成立；換句話說(shuō)，該結(jié)構(gòu)中的 it is [was]… that… that 不能充當(dāng)句子成分，而實(shí)際上句中的動(dòng)詞cause需要有自己的主語(yǔ)。
