2)強調句的特殊疑問句where was it that you saw her mobile phone yesterday? （強調地點狀語）how is it that you will go to visit her tomorrow? （強調方式狀語）3)強調從句it was because it was raining hard that i came home late. （強調狀語從句）it was what you said that really made us excited. （強調主語從句）4)not until結構的強調it was not until it stopped that we got off the bus. （注意：強調該結構時not until不能分開）5)強調時間狀語和地點狀語時與定語從句的區別it was in 1921 that our party was founded. （強調句）it was 1921 when our party was founded. （定語從句）it was on the farm that we practiced planting crops. （強調句）it was the farm where we learned a lot. （定語從句）表示時間或地點的名詞前有介詞時，一般為強調句型；前面沒有介詞時，多為定語從句。但應注意，有些表示時間的名詞或短語在作狀語時本身不需要加介詞，也應視為強調句型。it was yesterday/last week that we chatted a lot on line.昨天/上周我們在網上聊了許多。it was not until she got home______________ jennifer realized she had lost her keys.a. when b. that c. where d. before答案：b2. although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that we find the source of the river and begin our journey there.這里的although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places是讓步狀語從句；that we find the source of the river and begin our journey there是賓語從句，用的是虛擬語氣。整個句子可以翻譯成“盡管她對到某些地方的最佳路線并不清楚，她卻堅持我們要找到河的源頭，并從那里開始我們的行程。”動詞insist在表示“堅持某人應該……”時，后面的賓語從句應該使用虛擬語氣，即should+動詞原形或省略should直接用動詞原形。they insisted that he (should)be present at the ceremony.他們堅持認為他應該出席慶典儀式。mother insisted that a girl (should)not go out alone at night.媽媽堅持認為女孩子不應該晚上一個人出去。3. she gave me a determined look—the kind that said she wouldn’t change her mind.這里的the kind是a look的同位語，that said she wouldn’t change her mind 是that引導的定語從句。determined在句中的意思是“堅決的，堅定的”；say的意思是“指明，表明”。整個句子可以翻譯成“她給了我一個堅定的眼神——這種眼神表明她是不會改變主意的”。she is a very determined woman who always gets what she wants.她是一名意志非常堅定的婦女，總是會得到她想要的東西。the clock on the wall said a quarter to ten.墻上的鐘表明差一刻十點。4. once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it.這里的once she has made up her mind是狀語從句，相當于when she has made up her mind。once在這里用作連詞，表示as soon as一旦；一……就……。整個句子可以翻譯成“她一旦下了決心，什么也不能使她改變。”
