Question

---The baby looks much worse.

---_____is it that has made him ____he is today?

A. What; that      B. What; which

C. That;  that     D. What; what

Answer

D

【解析】

试题分析：考查强调句型和表语从句。先将句子结构理清楚，it is ___that has made him ___he is today 就可以判断，第一个空是考查强调句型的特殊疑问形式；第二个空则是表语从句，表语从句中缺少he is的表语。句意：病人好多了，是什么使得他成为现在这个样子。故选D。

【知识归纳】

强调句型

1.在英语中，我们常用It is/was… who/that结构来突出强调句子的某一成分(一般是句子中主语，宾语或状语)。在这个句型中，it没有词汇意义，只是引出被强调的成分。如果被强调的成分是表示人的词，用who或that来连接都可以。如果是其它成分，则一律用that来连接。It is my mother who/that cooks every day.是我的妈妈每天做饭；It was yesterday that Tom passed in the maths exam.是昨天汤姆通过了数学考试。

2.被强调成分是主语，who/that之后的谓语动词应该在人称和数上与原句中的主语保持一致。It is I who am right.It is he who is wrong. It is the students who are lovely.

3.即使被强调成分是句子中的时间状语，地点状语，原因状语等，也不能用when，where, because，要用 that.

It was because of the heavy rain that he came late.是因为大雨他迟到了。

3.如果被强调的成分有同位语，同位语也应提前。It was from him，his chemistry teacher，that Paul learned to watch carefully in class.

4.被强调部分既包括人又包括物，用that不用who。lt was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.

5.区分定语从句和强调句型某些定语从句和强调句型形式差不多，容易混淆。如果去掉it is/was ...that句子仍然通顺成立，则为强调句型，不成立不通顺，则为定语从句。

It was three years ago that he went to American for a further study去掉It was that句子为Three years ago he went to America for a further study.句子通顺，意思完整，那么，这就是一个强调句型。
