1. “How was _________ they discovered the entrance to the underground palace?” “Totally by chance.”

　　A. it that B. he that C. it when D. he which

　　【陷阱】幾個干擾項均可能誤選。

　　【分析】答案選A，為強調(diào)句的特殊疑問句形式，其相應的陳述句形式為：

　　It was totally by chance that they discovered the entrance to the underground palace.

　　比較以下各題，它們也屬強調(diào)句的特殊疑問句形式：

　　(1) Who was it _________ saved the drowning girl?

　　A. since B. as C. that D. he

　　答案選C，被強調(diào)成分為 who，該句實為類似 It was Tom that saved the drowning girl. 這類強調(diào)句的特殊疑問句形式(即對其中的Tom 提問而得)。

　　(2) What is it _________ his daughter needs most?

　　A. what B. which C. that D. if

　　答案選C，被強調(diào)成分為 what，該句實為類似 It is a bike that his daughter needs most. 這類強調(diào)句的特殊疑問句形式(即對其中的a bike 提問而得)。

　　2. “Where did you find the professor who made the speech yesterday?” “It was in the hall _________ the students often have a meeting.”

　　A. where B. which C. that D. when

　　【陷阱】很可能誤選C，認為這是一個強調(diào)句，強調(diào)地點狀語 in the hall。

　　【分析】假若選C，即有 It was in the hall that the students often have a meeting，該句的意思是“學生們通常是在大廳開會”，單獨看這一句，無論是其意思還是其語法均未錯，但若將其與上文聯(lián)系起來看，則不通，因為上文的意思是“你是在哪兒找到昨天作報告的那位教授的?”假若將答句改為 It was in the hall that I found the professor，則完全可以。

　　其實，此題的最佳答案是A，where the students often have a meeting 為定語從句，用以修飾其前的名詞 the hall，句意為“是在學生們經(jīng)常開會的那個大廳(找到教授的)”，這樣語意就通順了。

　　3. It was what he meant rather than what he said _________ annoyed me.

　　A. which B. as C. what D. that

　　【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選。

　　【分析】此題為一個強調(diào)句型，空格處應填 that (即選D)，被強調(diào)成分為 what he meant rather than what he said。句意為“讓我生氣的不是他說的話，而是他話中的意思”。請再看兩例：

　　(1) It was his nervousness in the interview _________ probably lost him the job.

　　A. which B. since C. that D. what

　　答案選C，為強調(diào)句型，被強調(diào)成分為 his nervousness in the interview，句意為“很可能是面試時表現(xiàn)出緊張，使他失去了這份工作”。

　　(2) It is the ability to do the job _________ matters not where you come from or what you are.

　　A. one B. that C. what D. it

　　答案選B，為強調(diào)句型，被強調(diào)成分為 the ability to do the job，句意為“重要的是你做工作的能力，而不是你來自何地或你是從事什么工作的”。

　　4. It was in the small house _________ was built with stones by his father _________ he spent his childhood.

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

　　【陷阱】幾個干擾項均有可能誤選，主要是分不清為強調(diào)句型，或即使分清為強調(diào)句型，也分不清強調(diào)哪一個成分。

　　【分析】答案選A，第一空填 which，用以引導定語從句;第二空填that，為強調(diào)句的結(jié)構(gòu)詞，被強調(diào)部分為 in the small house (以及修飾它的定語從句 which was built with stones by his father)。此題難就難在強調(diào)句型中套用了定語從句。請再看類似例子：
