高考英语常考句式（06）

强调句是高考英语经常涉及的一个考点，这类考题主要涉及以下几个方面：一是考查强调句型的基本结构，即“It is + 被强调成分 + that / who +其他部分”；二是考查强调句的疑问句形式，如强调句的一般疑问句形式“Is it + 被强调成分 + that / who +其他部分”以及特殊疑问句形式“疑问词+is it that+其他部分”；三是考查not…until…的强调形式“It was not until….that….”。如：

It was from Betty that he first heard the news. 这消息他最早是从贝蒂那里听到的。

Was it you who broke the window? 窗子是你打破的吗?

It was not until the rain stopped that they started. 直到雨停他们才出发。
