第十一周 彰显水平的强调句型、倒装句型和There be句型
特殊句式是英语中的高级表达,其中,强调和倒装句型是最为常见的特殊句式,它们的准确使用能够彰显考生的英语水平,提高写作档次。另外there be句型在写作中也是一种常见的高级表达。
一、重点突出的强调句型
强调句型可强调除谓语动词和表语外的其他任何成分,如主语、宾语、状语等。强调句型的灵活运用不仅有助于增强表达效果,突出要强调的重点,更能彰显考生对英语表达的把握能力。其基本结构为:It is/was+被强调部分+that+其他。
It is not the story itself but what is reflected in the story that counts.(2015·福建高考书面表达)
重要的并不是故事本身而是它所反映出来的东西。
在写作中,我们可以通过强调句型将句子提高到一个新的档次,写作时可采用“四步法”:
[示例]
1.It is/was+被强调部分+that+其他.
It is the time and energy we spend on the present that makes it valuable rather than the money we pay.(2017·重庆高考满分作文)
珍贵的是我们在礼物上花费的时间和精力,而非我们所花的钱。
2.Is/Was it+被强调部分+that+其他?
Was it in that park that the children saw the strange green objects?
正是在那个公园里孩子们看见了那些奇怪的绿色物体吗?
3.特殊疑问词+is/was it+被强调部分+that+其他?
When was it that you made up your mind to work as a volunteer teacher?
是什么时候你下定决心要当一名志愿者老师的?
4.It is/was not until ... that ...
It was not until all the fish in the river died out that the villagers realized how serious the pollution is.
直到河里所有的鱼都死光了,村民们才意识到污染是多么严重。
5.强调谓语时,借助于do/does/did+动词原形
We did hope there would be more meaningful activities in the coming future.(2015·北京高考满分作文)
我们确实希望今后有更多有意义的活动。
