Question

It was the middle of the night __ my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game.

A. that        B.  as     C.  which       D. when

Answer

D

【解析】

试题分析：由句子意思分析可知，my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game .作状语。即my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game in the middle of the night是状语从句。因此D选项正确。如果在原题的短语the middle of the night前加个介词in 的话，那么就变成了强调句型（这样去掉it was...that ...三个词，句子意思完整，成分齐全。所以此题选A选项是错误的。句意为“ 午夜时分，我父亲叫醒我去看足球赛。”。

考点：考查定语从句。
