Grammar and usage
强调结构
第一部分：重点讲解
强调结构是用特定的方法使句子中的某个部分突出出来，以达到强化这个部分的目的。在英语中，强调的方法有很多，包括运用语言、语调、单词、短语以及语法等手段。常见的强调形式：
1．增加单词来强调
此类单词有：so,such,just,right,very,pretty,single,really,indeed以及反身代词等。如：
I have never seen such a lazy person in my whole life.（这么）
So angry was he that he couldn’t speak.
Fortunately,he was just in time for the first train in the morning.（刚好）
It’s unbelievable that the woman herself could lift so heavy a box.（自己一个人）
This is the very English dictionary that I have been looking for.（就是，正是）
The manager was right in the office when I arrived at the company by metro (地铁)。（正好）
2．增加短语来强调
常用的短语有：on earth,in the world,by no means(位于句首需用倒装）,not…at all等。如：
“What on earth are you doing now?” asked the policeman.（究竟，到底）
Though we are good friends,I don’t agree with you at all this time.（根本不）
I have to point out that this job can by no means be accomplished overnight.（决不）
3．用助动词do,does,did来强调
可以用来强调肯定陈述句或祈使句的动词。如：
Do come early tomorrow morning,or you will be fined.（务必，一定）
The new exchange student does hope to go to the evening party with us.（确实）
My mother did sing well in the past because she used to be a teacher.（的确，确实）
4.将“地点”提前加以强调
On the table were some flowers. 桌上摆了一些花。
5．用强调句来强调
强调句的基本结构是It + be +被强调部分+that (who/whom)+原句剩余部分。被强调部分可以是简单句中除谓语以外的其它成分，也可以是主从复合句中的从句。如：
It was our we that/who saved my little younger sister.（强调主语）
It was him that/whom they saw stealing yesterday in the supermarket.（强调宾语）
It is by sending e-mail that they keep in touch with each other.（强调状语）
It was only when I reread this poem recently that I began to appreciate its beauty.（强调从句）
注意：
（1）强调句形中的it没有实际意义，由于it处在主语位置，即使被强调的主语是复数，动词只用单数。强调主语时用主格。如：
It was Tom and Mike that /who helped us out.
It is we who/that have passed the driving test.
（2）强调句的一般疑问句就是直接把动词置于句首；特殊疑问句就是把被强调的特殊疑问词置于句首。如：
Is it next week that we will hold another football match ?
Who was it that taught you English ten years ago ?
How was it that you managed to deal with such difficult problems ?
（3）强调not …until…结构时，not要放在until之前。即：It is/was not until…that….如：It was not until all fish died that people realized how serious pollution was.
It was not until midnight that they came back.
not…until…还可以这样强调：
Not until all fish died did people realize how serious pollution was.
Not until midnight did they come back.
（4）在强调时间、地点、原因或方式状语时，一律用that，而不用when,where,why或how等；特别要注意不能同定语从句等相混淆。如：
Was it during World War II that he lost his devoted son. ?
It was for this reason that the naughty boy got severely punished.
区别强调句型和定语从句的方法是：若将和去掉而句中不缺成分，结构完整，说明原句是强调句；若结构不完整，则说明原句为定语从句。试比较:
It was on October 5,1999 that the new city was founded.(强调句）
那个新城市确实是于1999年10月5日成立的。
It was October 5,1999 when their first son was born.(定语从句)
他们第一个儿子的出生时间是1999年10月5日。
（5）强调句与其它的交融使用
It was the village where I was brought up that I visited yesterday.
昨天我们参观的是我在那长大的村子。（与定语从句结合）
I can’t remember how many years ago it was that I entered the factory.
我记不清到底是多少年前进厂的了。（与宾语从句的结合）
When I asked him when it was that he took my dictionary,he made no answer.
我问他究竟何时拿了我的字典，他没吱声。（与状语从句的结合）

“情态动词＋have＋过去分词”是很重要的一种句型，除should外，may, might, must, couldn’t, needn’t, ought to等都可以用于这一句型，但要注意, 使用不同的情态动词，句子的意思就有所不同。表示对已发生的事情进行推测, 就表示的可能性程度而言，must最大，could其次，may更次之，might最小。
◇ could + have done 表示“本来有能力做而实际上没有做”。
― We could have walked to the station, it was so near.
― Yes. A taxi was not at all necessary.
I could have won if I hadn’t fallen over.
◇ must + have done 表示对过去情况的推测，只用于肯定句，意思是“一定……”。
Her eyes were red, she must have been crying.
You must have left your handbag in the theatre last night, I think.
◇ can (could) + have done表示对过去情况的推测，只用于否定和疑问句中，意为“一定没有……，一定不会……”。用 could 比用 can 语气更加委婉些。
He couldn’t have gone to bed, you see, the light in his room is still on .
Where is Dick? Where can he have gone?
◇ should (ought to) + have done 表示“本来应该做而实际上没做”，其否定式则表示“本来不该做而实际上做了”，常含有责备的语气。

I’d like to have gone to college.
I’d like to have seen his face when he opened the letter.

第三部分：练习答案
I. 单项选择
1. 答案D. should have done 表示“（过去）本来应该做了某事”，言外之意又没做，表达说话人极为不满的情绪。
2. 答案A. 后一分句中的一般过去时暗示，Mr. White“（过去）本来应该8：30到会”。C项是错误结构。
3. 答案D. 由对话语境可知，他们谈论的是过去的事情，且答话人是依据对方所说的事实作推断，用must 加完成式，表现了非常肯定的语气。
4. 答案C could have done表示对过去情况的推断，意为“可能是……”。should have done表示本来应该做而没有做；must have done表示过去一定那样做了，对过去情况的肯定的推测；would have done常用来表示虚拟语气。
5. 答案C. 因为主句的谓语动词用了would have happened，所以从句的谓语动词要用过去完成时。在虚拟语气中，如果条件状语从句中的if省略，该句要倒装。译文：如果鲍勃走得远一点，走到岸边，会发生什么事呢?
6. 答案D. 根据otherwise可以判断出要用虚拟语气。表示过去发生的事要用would have scored。译文：在踢球前他犹豫了一会儿，否则他就会射中球门。
7. 答案D.本题须注意对话这一语境。答语中用了一个过去分词作状语，表条件，细细体会一下说话人的意图不难看出，该过去分词短语应相当于if I had been given more time,即对过去的情况进行假设。故主句须用“情态动词+完成式”。could have done表示与过去事实相反，意思是“本来可以”，该句话的意思是“如果再多给点时间的话，我可以做得更好”。
8. 答案B. 后一句陈述了事实（手机关机了），这里用的是一般过去时。四个选项只有could have done对过去时间里发生的事情的推测，意为“可能……过”。
II. 完成句子
1. tends, to, oppose 2.dreamt of possessing 3.lend,to,as,long,as
4. made, an, agreement 5.distinguish,between 6.impossible,boycott class
