剖析 It is...that/who...构成强调句型
强调结构的形式是“It＋be的适当形式＋被强调部分＋that/who＋剩余部分”，它常用来突出说话人要强调的语言信息，给对方以强烈的印象和感受。
在本结构中，it无意义，但不能换成this或that；若原句时态是现在时或将来时，be则用is；若原句谓语动词是过去时，be则用was。
若强调部分是人，引导词用who或that均可(若强调部分是作宾语的人，也可用whom)；若是强调其他部分，一律用that。译成汉语时，常加上“正是……”等字眼。
It was in Greece that Olympic Competitions firstly started.
奥林匹克运动会是在希腊首次开始举行的。
It must be John that/who will take part in the contest on behalf of our class.
肯定是约翰将代表我们班参赛。

是我将于下周去北京。
应用 11.It was not until midnight________they reached the camp site.
A．that B．when
C．while D．as
解析： 把It was和空白处删掉后成为：They didn’t reach the camp site until midnight.其意义仍然讲得通，说明这是一个强调句型，强调时间状语not until midnight，只能选择A项。句意是“他们直到午夜才到达宿营地”。
答案： A
Another man，lying on his side，looks as if he is trying to get up.(P6)
躺在他身旁的另一个人像是在设法站起来。
剖析 该句是一个主从复合句，其中as if (＝as though)引导方式状语从句。
如果as if后面的从句所表示的情况是真实的或很可能是真实的，谓语动词用陈述语气，尤其是在feel，look，seem，smell，sound，taste之后。
—I feel as if I have got a bad cold.我觉得我好像得了感冒。
—You’d better see a doctor.你最好去看医生。
提示 如果as if引导的从句表示所叙述的情况与事实相反，谓语动词多用虚拟语气。
It looks as if he knew the impressionist in the flesh.
看起来他好像认识那位印象派艺术家本人。
应用 12.用be的适当形式填空
The man talks a lot as if he________a know all.
答案： were

A．attack B．burst
C．split D．blast
解析： 句意为：在一阵暴怒中，那个男人把所有触手可及的东西都扯成了碎片。a burst of指“情感的一时冲动”；a blast of表示“一阵(风)”，A、C两项都是错误的搭配。结合句意，应选择B项。
答案： B
6．A national park was set up to________the endangered animals from dying out in this area.
A．serve B．observe
C．preserve D．deserve
解析： 考查词语辨析。根据句意“为了保护濒临灭绝的动物，在这个地区建了一个国家公园”。可知C项正确，意为“保护，维护”。observe注意，观察；deserve应受，值得，均不符合题意。
答案： C
7．—Shall we go and help them with their work
—We’d better not.They said we’d just be________if we tried to help.
A．in the way B．by the way
C．on the way D．off the way

答案： A
8．Was it in front of the market________the road accident happened yesterday
A．where B．why
C．which D．that
解析： 本题考查强调句型。题干为强调句型的一般疑问式，其构成为：Is/Was it＋被强调部分＋that＋其他部分。题目中被强调部分为in front of the market，故用that。
答案： D
9．They both talked as if they________friends before.
A．would be B．should be
C．had been D．have been
解析： 句意为：他俩谈起话来好像以前就是朋友似的。言外之意指“他们以前并不是朋友”，所以要用虚拟语气形式，had done表示与过去事实相反。
答案： C
10．Hardly________to speak when there was a shout from the back of the hall.
A．has she begun B．she has begun
C．had she begun D．she had begun
解析： hardly...when...句型中，若hardly(有否定意义)位于句首时，主句用部分倒装，即将主句中的助动词、系动词或情态动词提到主句的主语前，hardly...when...句型中主句常用过去完成时，从句用一般过去时，因此可知本题选C。
答案： C

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming lake behind his house.
In a hurry to dive into the cool water，he ran out the back door，leaving behind his shoes，socks，and shirt as he went.He flew into the water，not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake，an alligator (鳄鱼) was swimming toward the shore.
His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer.In extreme fear，she ran toward the water，yelling to her son as loudly as she could.Hearing her voice，the little boy became alarmed and made a U turn to swim to his mother.It was too late.Just as he reached her，the alligator reached him.
From the dock (码头)，the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs.That began an incredible tug of war (拔河)．The alligator was much stronger than the mother，but the mother was much too passionate (感情强烈的)．A farmer happened to drive by，took aim and shot the alligator.
After weeks and weeks in the hospital，the little boy survived.The newspaper reporter asked if he would show him his scars.The boy lifted his legs，then，with obvious pride，he said to the reporter，“But look at my arms.I have great scars on my arms，too.I have them because my mom wouldn’t let go.”
Some scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.But，some wounds are because love has refused to let go.

I was working as a consultant in a beer company，helping the president and senior vice presidents form and carry out their new planning projects.It was really a great challenge.
At the same time，my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night.It was tiring and stressful，but it was what I wanted to do.My commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day，even though my evenings were very hard.I didn’t want to bother the president with my situation，yet I felt someone at the company needed to know what was going on.So I told the vice president of Human Resources，asking him not to share the information with anyone.
A few days later，the president called me into his office.
I thought he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on.When I entered，he asked me to sit down.He faced me from across his large desk，looked at me in the eye and said，“I hear your mother is very ill.”
I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears.He just looked at me，let my crying subside (平息)，and then gently said a sentence I will never forget：Whatever you need.
That was it.His understanding and his willingness both to let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of sympathy that I carry with me to this day.
