表语从句
复合句中作表语的从句叫表语从句，说明主语是什么或者怎么样。
表语从句学习要点：1. 引导词的选用
2. 从句的语序
3. 重点句型
引导表语从句的关联词：（三类）
1)从属连词that，whether，because，as if / though
It sounds as if someone is knocking at the door.听起来好像有人在敲门。
The argument is whether it rains tomorrow.
明天是否下雨是争论的内容.
The trouble is that we are short of money.
困难是我们资金短缺。
2)连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which, whatever, whoever, whomever, whichever等引导表语从句.
The question is which book we should choose.
问题是我们哪一个应该去。
The problem was who could do the work.
问题是谁能做这项工作。
That's what he is worrying about.
那就是他在担心的事。
3)连接副词 where，when，why，how，whenever等
The problem is how we can get the things we need.
问题是我们怎样能弄到我们需要的东西.
She has remained where I stood yesterday for an hour.

表语从句语序：陈述语序

问题是他何时能到达宾馆
表语从句重点句型：
That is why... 意为 “这是为什么……”
That is because...意为 “这是因为……”
The reason why...is that... 意为 “...的原因是...”
表语从句几点注意事项：
（1）当主语是表示建议、要求、命令、请求的名词时，表语从句常常由that引导，并且从句中要用虚拟语气（should+ 动词原形）。例：
My suggestion is that we (should) set off early tomorrow.
（2）that, why, because都可引导表语从句。表示原因的名词（reason, cause）作句子主语时，后面的表语从句常用that引导，不可用because。例：
The reason why he was late was that he missed the first train this morning.
（3）引导表语从句的that通常不省略，但在口语或非正式文体中有时也可省略。例：
My idea is (that) we should do it right away.
1. I've got a cold; that's ____ I wouldn't like to go out.
2. Fame and personal gain is ______ they're after.
3. The reason why Tom failed in the exam was _____

Read the passage about Mei Lanfang and try to get the main idea of it. （Hint：What made Mei Lanfang a successful artist in Peking Opera ）
Mei Lanfang (1894-1961)
Mei Lanfang was born into a family of Peking and Kunqu Opera performers in 1894. At the age of eight, he started training in Peking Opera on a daily basis.
When he was 17, he even kept a flock of pigeons and trained to fly high,
watching them as they flew. Every day Mei watched them as they flew,
which helped him to develop the expressive eye movements that were
so crucial to his art. His hard work and dedication made him to a
leading artist in Peking Opera.
Mei was also an innovator. In addition to new stage designs and
singing styles, his innovations in make-up and costume design allowed
for more vivid depictions of female characters. This contributed greatly
to the development of Peking Opera.
Until he passed away in 1961, Mei had been performing and encouraging the spread of Peking Opera for almost 60 years. This lifelong devotion has made him one of the most
celebrated Peking Opera artists of all time.
