2019高考英语It句型和强调倒装句式讲解

一、 复习思路

这三种句式主要在翻译题中考查；每一种句式都是先讲解知识点然后辅以练习，练习难度分为三个层次。

二、复习要点

1. 知识点1：It句型

\用法及其句型和固定搭配，是高中英语语法的重点、难点，又是近几年高考的热点，因此应给予充分的重视。

That Sunkong develops fast is well-known to us.

______________________________________________________.

It作形式主语的概念：当不定式（短语），动名词（短语）或从句在句子中作主语时，为保持平衡，避免句式结构的混乱，常用it 作形式主语，而将真正的主语放在句尾。

It 作形式主语的常用句型:

①It + be + 形容词(obvious, true, natural, surprising, good, wonderful, funny, possible, likely, certain, probable, quite clear, unusual, etc.) + that从句。

如： It is certain that she will do well in her exam. It is probable that he told her everything.

②It + be + 名词词组(a fact, good news, no wonder, an honor, a good thing, a pity, no surprise, etc.) + that从句。 如： It's a pity that we can't go.

It's no surprise that our team should have won the game.

③It + be + 过去分词(said, reported, thought, expected, decided, announced, arranged, etc.) + that从句。 如： It is said that Mr Green has arrived in Beijing.

It is reported that China has sent another man-made earth satellite into orbit.

④It + seem（看上去），appear（显得），happen（碰巧）, matter（关系重大），turn out（结果），occur to sb. （某人突然想起）等不及物动词及短语+ that从句。 如: It seems that Alice is not coming to the party at all. It happened that I was out that day.

It作形式宾语语的概念：

当不定式（短语），动名词（短语）或从句在句子中作宾语时，为保持平衡，避免句式结构的混乱，常用it 作形式宾语，而将真正的宾语放在句尾。 。此时it只起引导作用，无意义。

It 作形式宾语的常用句型: find possible

1.S+ think + it+ necessary +clause. feel important

find a rule

2. S+ think + it + one’s duty +clause

feel an honor

Samples:

1. She made it a duty that she takes care of her sick mother.

2. I have made it my habit that I get up before 6:30 every day.

2.知识点2：强调句式

一、强调句句型

I met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.

第 5 页 共 20 页

1.陈述句的强调句型：It is/ was + 被强调部分（通常是主语、宾语或状语）+ that/ who（当强调主语且主语指人）+ 其他部分。

强调句例句：针对I met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday.句子进行强调。 强调主语：It was I that （who） met Li Ming at the railway station yesterday. 强调宾语：It was Li Ming that I met at the railway station yesterday. 强调地点状语：It was at the railway station that I met Li Ming yesterday. 强调时间状语：It was yesterday that I met Li Ming at the railway station.

2. 一般疑问句的强调句型：同上，只是把is/ was提到it前面。 e.g. Was it yesterday that you met Li Ming at the railway station？

3. 特殊疑问句的强调句型：被强调部分（通常是疑问代词或疑问副词）+ is/ was + it + that/ who + 其他部分？

e.g. When and where was it that you met Li Ming？

4. 注意：构成强调句的it本身没有词义；强调句中的连接词一般只用that， who，即使在强调时间状语和地点状语时也如此，that， who不可省略；强调句中的时态只用两种，一般现在时和一般过去时。原句谓语动词是一般过去时、过去完成时和过去进行时，用It was …… ，其余的时态用It is …… . 二、not … until … 句型的强调句

1. 句型为：It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分 e.g. 普通句：He didn’t go to bed until/ till his wife came back. 强调句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.

2. 注意：此句型只用until，不用till.但如果不是强调句型，till， until可通用；因为句型中It is/ was not …… 已经是否定句了，that后面的从句要用肯定句，切勿再用否定句了。 三、谓语动词的强调

1. It is/ was …… that …… 结构不能强调谓语，如果需要强调谓语时，用助动词do/ does或did. e.g. Do sit down. 务必请坐。

He did write to you last week. 上周他确实给你写了信。

Do be careful when you cross the street. 过马路时，务必（千万）要小心啊！

第 6 页 共 20 页

2. 注意：此种强调只用do/ does和did，没有别的形式；过去时用did，后面的谓语动词用原形。

四． 强调句的判断：

判断是否是强调句的一个简便的方法就是：

把It was，that结构去掉，如果句子结构完整就是强调句；如果句子结构不完整，那句子中就缺少了成分，可能是主语从句也可能是定语从句 。 比较：

Therefore, it is safer and more reliable ______ people get them repaired by an electrician. that, 强调句式

It is certain _______ many people enjoy the flavor that it adds to food. that, 主语从句

It was the day _______ its first homemade large passenger aircraft, the C919, was shown to the public in Shanghai.when, 定语从句

培优题：强调句式在写作中的应用

假设你是中华中学学生姚平，最近参加了一项研究性学习调研，课题为“父母是否以子女为荣”。通过调研你校学生及其父母，结果发现双方对此问题的看法有差异（数据如图所示）。根据图表写一份报告，在报告中，你必须：描述调研数据；分析可能导致这一结果的原因。

First, conservative Chinese parents are never accustomed to conveying directly how much they are proud of their children. This tendency to conceal feelings hardly helps children develop a strong sense of self-confidence.（首先，保守的中国父母亲不习惯于直接表达他们对于孩子的自豪之情，这种情感的保留很难帮助孩子培养足够的自信心）。

以上是范文中的原句，学生可将其改作强调句式：

First, conservative Chinese parents are never accustomed to conveying directly how much they are proud of their children. It is this tendency to conceal feelings that hardly helps children develop a strong sense of self-confidence.

3. 知识点3：倒装句式

一、全部倒装

全部倒装是指整个谓语放到主语的前面，即谓语在前，主语在后。有下列几种： 1. there be (lie, stand, live...)句型。there be是谓语，其后的名词是主语。 There are different forms of energy.

On the top of the mountain there stands an old temple. Once upon a time, there lived a poor fisherman.

第 9 页 共 20 页

2. 在以here, there, out, in, up, down, away，now，then等开头的句子中。 There goes the bell. Here comes the bus. Out rushed the boy. Away went the children.

The door opened and there entered a middle-aged man. 主语是人称代词时不倒装。例如： Here it is.给你。 Away he went.他走了。

3. 当句首状语为表地点的介词词组时，也常常引起全部倒装。 From the valley came a frightening sound. South of the city lies a big steel factory.

4. 表语置于句首时，倒装结构为“表语+系动词+主语” (1) 形容词+系动词+主语

Present at the meeting were Professor White and many other guests. (2) 过去分词+系动词+主语

Gone are the days when they could do what they liked to the Chinese people. (3) 介词短语+be+主语

Among the goods are Christmas trees, flowers, candles and toys. 5. such置于句首时

Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man and the 20th century’s greatest scientist.

此句型中的such多被认为是表语，所以such后面的be动词应该与其后的“真正主语”保持一致。 Such are the facts; no one can deny them.

6. 用于so, nor, neither开头的句子，表示重复前句部分内容。原句的谓语应与前句谓语的时态、形式相一致。

Li Wei can’t answer the question. Neither can I. He has been to Beijing. So have I.

注意：如果是重复相同的意思，不倒装。例如： —It was cold yesterday.

第 10 页 共 20 页

—So it was.

7. 为了使句子保持平衡，有时需要倒装。

Nearby were two canoes in which they had come to the island.

On the winding path were to be found footprints of some strange animals.

二．部分倒装

1. 否定副词位于句首时的倒装

在正式文体中，never, seldom, rarely, little, hardly, scarcely, no sooner, no longer, nowhere 等含有否定意义的副词若位于句首，则其后要用部分倒装：

I shall never forgive him. / Never shall I forgive him. 我永远不会宽恕他。

He seldom goes out for dinner. / Seldom does he go out for dinner. 他很少出去吃饭。

She hardly has time to listen to music. / Hardly does she have time to listen to music. 她几乎没时间听音乐。 He little realizes how important this meeting is. / Little does he realize how important this meeting is. 他不甚明白这个会议的重要性。

We had no sooner reached the airport than the plane took off. / No sooner had we reached the airport than the plane took off. 我们刚到机场,飞机就起飞了。 【注意】

(1) 对于not…until句型，当not until…位于句首时，其后的主句要用倒装语序：

He didn’t leave the room until the rain stopped. / Not until the rain stopped did he leave the room. 雨停了之后他才离开这房间。

(2) 某些起副词作用的介词短语，由于含有否定词，若位于句首，其后要用部分倒装： On no accounts must this switch be touched. 这个开关是绝不能触摸的。

In [Under] no circumstances will I lend money to him.无论如何我也不会再借钱给他了。 但是，in no time(立即，马上)位于句首时，其后无需用倒装语序： In no time he worked out the problem. 他马上就算出了那道题。

第 11 页 共 20 页

2.“only+状语”位于句首时的倒装

当一个状语受副词only的修饰且置于句首时，其后用部分倒装语序： Only then did he realize that he was wrong. 到那时他才意识到他错了。 Only in this way are you able to do it well. 你只有用这种方法才能把它做好。

Only when he returned home did he realize what had happened. 当他回到家里时，才知道出了什么事。

3. “so+adj. / adv.”位于句首时的倒装

副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时，其后用部分倒装：

So cold was the weather that we had to stay at home. 天气太冷，我们只好呆在家里。

So fast does light travel that we can hardly imagine its speed. 光速很快，我们几乎没法想像它的速度。 So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape. 袭击来得非常突然，我们来不及逃跑。

4.“so+助动词+主语”倒装

当要表示前面提出的某一肯定的情况也同样适合于后者，通常就要用“So+助动词+主语”这种倒装结构： You are young and so am I. 你年轻，我也年轻。 She likes music and so do I. 她喜欢音乐，我也喜欢。 If he can do it, so can I. 要是他能做此事，我也能。 【注意】

(1) 若前面提出某一否定的情况，要表示后者也属于同样的否定情况，则应将其中的so改为neither或nor： You aren’t young and neither am I. 你不年轻，我也不年轻。 She hasn’t read it and nor have I. 她没有读它，我也没有读。

第 12 页 共 20 页

(2) 注意该结构与表示强调或同意的“so+主语+特殊动词”结构的区别： \昨天很冷。”“的确很冷。”

\爸爸，你答应过的。”“嗯，是答应过。”

5. 由not only…but also引出的倒装

当not only…but also位于句首引出句子时，not only 后的句子通常用部分倒装形式： Not only is he a teacher, but he is also a poet. 他不仅是一位教师，而且是一位诗人。

Not only did he speak more correctly, but he spoke more easily. 不仅他讲得更正确，也讲得更不费劲了。

6. 虚拟条件句的省略与倒装

当if引导的虚拟条件从句中含有had, were, should等时，如将if省略，则要将had, were, should等移到主语前，构成倒装句：

Had you come yesterday, you would have seen him.若你昨天来，你就会见到他了。 Should you require anything give me a ring. 如果需要什么，可以给我打电话。 Were it not for your help, I would still be homeless. 要不是你帮助，我会仍然无家可归。

【注意】省略if后提前的had不一定是助动词： Had I money, I would buy it. 假若我有钱，我就会买它。

Section B

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A. public B. inadequate C. lowered D. released E. disappointment F. casting G. possibility H. objective I. desperately J. balance K. compared Why Aren’t Women Happier?

Why aren’t women happier these days?

第 17 页 共 20 页

That’s the question raised by a thought-provoking study, The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness, __31__ last month. The research showed that over the past 35 years women’s happiness has declined, both __32__ to the past and relative to men even though the lives of women in the US have improved in recent decades by most __33__ measures.

The research, by University of Pennsylvania economists Stevenson and Wolfers, and made __34__ by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found the decline in happiness to be widespread among women across a variety of demographic (人口统计的) groups. The researchers, for instance, measured similar declines in happiness among women who were single parents and married parents, “__35__ doubt on the hypothesis (假设) that trends in marriage and divorce, single parenthood or work/family __36__ are at the root of the happiness declines among women,” they wrote.

One theory for the decline in happiness is that expectations for workplace and general advancement were raised too high by the women’s movement and women might feel __37__ for not “having it all,” as a Los Angeles Times columnist recently put it.

The researchers acknowledge that’s a __38__:

“If the women’s movement raised women’s expectations faster than society was able to meet them,” the paper says, “they would be more likely to experience __39__ in their lives.” But they add things could change for the better: “As women’s expectations move into adjustment with their experiences, this decline in happiness may reverse.”

Readers, why do you think women are unhappier than in the past? Do you think that if expectations for “having it all” were __40__ to “move into adjustment with experiences,” women might be happier? III. Reading Comprehension Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

A Cashless Society

There is nothing worse than feeling around in your pocket trying to find some small change to pay for a newspaper or a coffee. So it’s good to know that new __41__ is making cash -- banknotes and coins -- a thing of the past, turning us into a cashless society.

Today, many of us already use credit and debit cards for __42__ transactions (交易) so there’s no need to carry around huge amounts of money. And now it’s __43__ to make contactless payments using tap-and-go cards which are regular bankcards but with a built-in chip. The card reader __44__ a radio signal and, when you bring the card close to the reader, the chip picks up the signal to make the payment.

第 18 页 共 20 页

__45__ money this way or spending on “plastic” -- an informal name for a credit card -- can put you at risk of fraud (诈骗). Criminals try to steal cards, or the information on them, to make __46__ online or in shops, which, as a result, adds too much difficulty to the police’s detective work. __47__, contactless payment is capped -- in the UK the limit is ￡30. And, if someone does go on a crazy spending with your card, your bank covers you against the loss. Also, the __48__ of chip and PIN technology has even been helping businesses by cutting the time people spend at the cashier’s in shops and has led to a(n) __49__ in fraud.

But, if getting your bankcard out seems like too much trouble, there’s now a __50__ using wearable technology -- something you can wear that include computer and electronic technologies. Kenneth Cukier, economist and technology expert, says “this is __51__ for people who don’t want to take their card out of their wallet, or use their phone, or use their watch. People are going to be making more purchases more of the time -- __52__ for small-valued goods.”
