1. This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.
【点拨】it是形式宾语, 真正的宾语是不定式短语to develop。it作形式宾语时常用在find/ make/ think/ consider+it +adj./n.+to do结构中。
it作形式宾语, 除指代不定式结构外, 还可指代that引导的宾语从句。如:
They made it clear to the public that they
did an important and necessary job.
1) 这么坏的天气, 我们发现爬到山顶是不可能的。
We find it impossible to climb to the top of the hill in such bad weather.

2. “Oh dear,” I cried, “walking does need a bit of practice now that gravity has changed.”
“天哪,” 我大声说,“重力改变了,看来走路也的确需要练一练了。”
now that引导原因状语从句, “既然, 由于”, 相当于since, 而且that可省略。
能引导原因状语从句的连词还有as,for,since,because这些连词包括now that在内后常接从句。而because of,due to,owing to都是介词短语,后面只能接名词或代词。
【语境应用】 完成下面句子。
1) 既然你的工作已经做完了,最好休息一下吧。
___________________________________,
you’d better have a rest.
2) 饭准备好了,洗手去吧。
________________________, wash your
hands.
Now (that) you have finished your work
Now (that) dinner is ready
本句中的twice as ...as ...表示“是……的几
倍”,该句型中的twice也可用half, one
third等词,表示“是……的一半/几分之几”。
3. But when I tried to step forward, I found I was carried twice as far as on the earth and fell over.
而当我试着向前迈步的时候,我发觉我被送出去很远,步子的跨度竟是在地球上的两倍,因而我摔倒了。
【拓展】
有关倍数的表达方式还有:
① 倍数+as+adj./adv.原级+as ...
② 倍数+形容词/副词的比较级+than ...
③ 倍数+the+名词+of ... 在这个结构中,常用的名词有size, height, weight, length, width等。
【语境应用】完成句子。

& Zhangjiakou Winter Olympics will be _____________________ the present one.
为2022年北京&张家口冬季奥运会建设的新体育场将是现在的三倍大。

is three times as high as

复合句中充当句子主语的从句叫主语从句。
【要点精讲】
引导主语从句的词有连词that, whether;连接代词who, what, which;连接副词when, where, how, why等。如:
Whether you can do it by yourself mainly depends on your ability, not your age.
What I need most now is more time and more patience.
When you can finish the work is of great importance.
主语从句
that引导主语从句时,在句中无实际意义,只起连接作用,不作句子成分。当它引导的主语从句置于句首时,that不能省略;如果用it作形式主语,而把主语从句放在句末时,从属连词that可以省略。如:
That the teacher will come is certain.
It is a pity (that) you made such a careless mistake.
常见由it作形式主语的句型如下:
① It+be+ n.+从句。常见名词有:fact, rule, pleasure, truth, pity等。如:
It is a fact that English is being accepted as an international language.
It’s a rule that new members must sing a song.
② It+ be+adj.+从句。常见形容词有:true, important, necessary, clear, certain等。如:
It’s true that the earth is round.
It was important that you rest.
③ It+v.+从句。常用动词:seem, appear, happen, follow等。如:
It seems that I’ve made a mistake.
It appeared to scientists on earth that the stars had moved.
④ It+be+v-ed+主语从句。常用过去分词:known, said, proven, asked, suggested等。如:
It’s well known that Thomas Edison invented the electric lamp.
It’s said that he was a spy during the war.
如果主语从句置于句首,则不能用if引导,而用whether;但如果用it作形式主语,而把主语从句放在句末时,也可以用if引导。如:
Whether Tom really saw Sharon was doubtful.
It was doubtful whether / if Tom really saw Sharon.
