14. 高考相關(guān)
1. (NMET 95) If you work with strong will, we can overcome any difficulty, ____ great it is.
A whatever B however C wherever D whenever
B. 本題考察讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，however 引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，一般構(gòu)成however +adj./adv.+主語(yǔ)+謂語(yǔ). 該句子還可以寫成：no matter how great it is.
2. (NMET 97)It is generally considered unwise to give a child ___ he or she wants.
A however B whatever C whichever D whenever
B. 從屬連詞whatever 引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，等于anything that he or she wants, 且在從句中做賓語(yǔ)，所以 A, D 不可選。 Whichever 指在“大范圍”已經(jīng)確定的情況下的任何一個(gè)， 而這句話并沒(méi)有確定大范圍，所以用whatever 表示“無(wú)論什么”。
3. （NMET 2002）Having a trip abroad is certainly good for the old couple, but it remains ____ whether they will enjoy it.
A to see B to be seen C seeing D seen
B. it 為形式主語(yǔ)， 真正的主語(yǔ)是whether 從句。 因?yàn)椴欢ㄊ奖磉_(dá)的被動(dòng)含義，所以應(yīng)使用被動(dòng)形式。

5、強(qiáng)調(diào)句型的兩種變形形式：
一般疑問(wèn)句形式：Is/ Was it … that…?
特殊疑問(wèn)句形式：Who/ Whom /When/ When 等 + is/ was it that …? 如：
1）Was it in 1979 ______ the American astronaut succeeded ______ landing on the moon? (上海 94)
A. when; on B. that; on C. when; in D. that; in (Key: D)
2）Was ______ that I saw last night at the concert? (上海 95)
A. it you B. not you C. you D. that yourself (Key: A)
3）Who was it that you met in the street yesterday? 昨天你在街上遇到的是誰(shuí)？
Where was it that you met Jack yesterday? 你昨天是在哪里遇到杰克的？
6、當(dāng)強(qiáng)調(diào)的成分是表示時(shí)間或地點(diǎn)的介詞短語(yǔ)時(shí)，如果去掉介詞，句型會(huì)發(fā)生根本變化。試比較：
It was five o'clock in the afternoon _____ they climbed up to the top of the mountain．（NMET 96）
A．since B．when C．that D．until (Key: B)
該句為 when 所引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，it 在句中表示時(shí)間。如在題干上加上介詞 at，句子變成：It was at five o'clock in the afternoon _____ they climbed up to the top of the mountain．空格中只能填 that，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句。因?yàn)椋焊呖荚}目如果填 that，就應(yīng)該是強(qiáng)調(diào)句，去掉 it，was，that，可以得到：They climbed up to the top of the mountain five o'clock in the afternoon. （不成立）所以高考原題不能填 that；而增加介詞的句子可以改寫為： They climbed up to the top of the mountain at five o'clock in the afternoon. 這是個(gè)完整的句子，所以填 that，為強(qiáng)調(diào)句。
七、另外兩個(gè)與it 有關(guān)的常用句型
1、It is／ was ／will be the + 序數(shù)詞 + time that 從句。
該句型意為“這是／那是／這將是某人第某某次做某事了”。主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用is時(shí)，從句用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)；主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用was時(shí)，從句用過(guò)去完成時(shí)；主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用will be時(shí)，從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示將來(lái)。如：
1）She understood what I was talking about, even though it was the first time we had spoken together. 盡管這是我們第一次在一起談話，但是她明白我們?cè)谡勑┦裁础?/p>
注意：句型中 it 可以用this 或 that，time 可以用成 week，year，month 等邊式時(shí)間的名詞。如：
This is the first moth that/ year I have been here. 這是我在這兒的地一個(gè)月/第一個(gè)年頭。
）It’s high time they realized the problem. (NMET 99) 是他們意識(shí)到問(wèn)題的時(shí)候了。
