强调结构的几类重要考点
其基本形式为It is (was) not until…that…。比较:
He didn't come until his wife left. 他妻子走了之后他才来。
→It was not until his wife left that he came. 他妻子走了之后他才来。
They didn't start until the rain stopped. 直到雨停他们才出发。
→It was not until the rain stopped that they started. 直到雨停他们才出发。
注:这类句型不用倒装语序,但若改成Not until…,则要用倒装。如:
Not until his wife left did he come. 他妻子走了之后他才来。
Not until the rain stopped did they start. 直到雨停他们才出发。

五、考查强调句与非强调句的辨别
1. 设置陷阱,使考生将强调句误判为非强调句。如:
It might have been John _________ bought a present for Mary yesterday.
A. that B. when C. what D. which
【解析】答案选A,为强调句型,由于句中动词be采用了might have been这一复杂结构,所以许多同学们可能会看不出它是一个强调句型。
2. 设置陷阱,使考生将非强调句误判为强调句。如:
It was evening we reached the little town of Winchester.
A. that B. until C. since D. before
【解析】答案选D。有的考生一看到句首的it was,再联系到选项中的that,就以为这是考查强调句。其实错了。此题是考查连词before的用法。因为去掉It was…that这一结构后,原句不能成为一个完整的句子,所以这不是强调结构。句意是:我们还没有到达Winchester这个小镇,天就夜了。
