Question

Was it the hard training ______ he received as a young man _______ made him such a good basketball player?

A. which; that          B. that; what

C. what; that           D. that; which

Answer

A

【解析】

试题分析：考查定语从句和强调句型。第一个that,也可以填which或者不填,引导定语从句,关系代词在从句里做宾语；第二个空填that,与前文的it was .构成强调句. 试题分析：句意：就是他在年轻的时候接受的训练使他成为一个这么好的工程师。第一空填which，引导定语从句，修饰the training，在定语从句中which做宾语，第二空填that，使用了强调句，强调的是the training _____ he received as a young man，所以选A。

强调句型的用法

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。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.

温馨提示：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。

考点：考查定语从句和强调句型。
