典型強調(diào)句易錯題分析

請看下面的題：

_____ was very ______ that little Jim wrote the letter.

A. It, careful                          B. It, carefully

C. He, careful                        D. He, carefully

【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選，但最有可能誤選的可能是A，認為這是一個普通的系表結(jié)構(gòu)，即認為第二空要填形容詞作表語。

【分析】其實，此題是一個強調(diào)句，其非強調(diào)形式為 Little Jim wrote the letter very carefully. 若用 it is … that… 的強調(diào)句式強調(diào)其中的狀語 very carefully 即為上面一題的題干，所以答案應(yīng)選B。請看下面幾例，也屬強調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)(from www.hz123456.com)：

(1) It was when she was about to go to bed ______ the telephone rang.

A. since        B. as            C. that          D. then

答案選C，被強調(diào)成分為 when she was about to go to bed 這一時間狀語從句。

(2) It may have been at Christmas _____ John gave Mary a handbag.

A. before      B. who        C. that          D. when

答案選C，被強調(diào)成分為 at Christmas，其中的動詞 be 采用了 may have been 這一較為復雜的形式。
