重点中学英语语法讲义-强调句

2. 将强调句判为非强调句

有些强调句型由于句子本身有一定的特殊性，比如是强调句的特殊疑问句形式，强调句型情态动词或复杂时态等，强调句中的被强调成分过于复杂，强调句与其他从句混杂在一起，等等，这都可能掩盖强调句型的本来面目，从而导致误判：

(1) When was _____ that the general manager left for Japan?

A. he                        B. it                          C. that                      D. since

答案选B，为强调句的特殊疑问句形式。

(2) It might have been John _____ bought a present for Mary yesterday.

A. that                      B. when                    C. what                    D. which

答案选A，为强调句型，只是其中的动词be采用了might have been这一复杂结构。

(3) It was what he meant rather than what he said ______ annoyed me.

A. which                   B. as                         C. what                    D. that

答案选D，为强调句型，被强调部分为 what he meant rather than what he said，句意为“让我生气的不是他说的话，而是他话中的意思”。

(4) It was just in the room _____ he was born _____ he died.

A. where, which        B. that, that               C. where, that           D. which, that

答案选C，为强调句型，被强调成分是 in this room，where he was born 为修饰 the room 的定语从句。
