强调句通常用的句式：it is + 被强调的部分 + that + 句子的其余成分。强调部分指人的时候，用who 或者that; 指物的时候用that。

例1：

It is from the sun that we get light and heat.

           被强调的部分（物）

例2：

It was Sam who knocked down that old man and fled.

       被强调的部分（人）

注意：如何判断强调句式？

把一个句子中的it is …that/who这个部分去掉，如果剩余的句子仍然是完整的，那么这个句式就是一个强调句。反之则有可能是其他从句。

例如：

It is exciting that we succeeded in launching the satellite.

这个句子虽然也有it is ….that 的结构，但只要把这个结构去掉，就可以发现：剩下的内容不能构成完整的句子。所以这不是一个强调句。在这里It is…that 是不能随便去掉的，因为这里it 是形式主语。

翻译示例：

例：______________ （直到他详细研究）that the first of the vitamins was identified.

1. 所译部分为句子的主干，需要强调句型，表达方式为it is not until...that

2. 从句为过去时，所以主句中也应该是过去时

3. “详细地”表达方式应该是in detail。

答案：It was not until he investigated in detail

1. 本题考查的是强调句式。强调句式由“it is/was + 被强调成分+that/who…”构成。此题强调的是时间。

2. 在谓语动词前加do表示对动作的强调。and连接两个并列谓语，其形式应一致，故用过去时态。

3. 此题考查的是强调句的特殊疑问句形式。it在此作为形式主语，真正的主语是that从句。

4. 此句是一个强调句。根据题意“他的朋友不怎么喜欢看电视”可知这并没有什么可奇怪的，故排除B和C。no后直接加名词相当于not any +名词，可排除A。故选D。

5. 此题考查的强调句中含有一个定语从句。Who引导的定语从句修饰被强调部分the boy，that引导的从句构成强调句中的真正的主语。当被强调部分是人时，可以用that和who来引导从句。

6. 此题考查的强调句型中包含一个定语从句。Which引导的定语从句，修饰被强调部分the training，that从句构成强调句中的真正主语。

7. 本题考查的是强调句式。强调句式由“it was + 被强调成分+ who…”构成。

8. 本题考查的是强调句式。强调句式由“it was + 被强调成分+that…”构成。本句强调的是时间。

9. 本题考查的是强调句式。强调句式由“it was + 被强调成分+that…”构成。本句强调的是时间。not until…意为“直到……才”。

10. 本题考查的是强调句式。强调句式由“it was + 被强调成分+that…”构成。从句的语序仍然用陈述语序。
