【真题回顾：题型不一样，考点可是不变的哟】

A. when B. that C. which D.what
【真题解析：超级详细，英语再差也能看懂】
这种题目只要你有一双慧眼就可以很清楚的知道考的什么知识了。并且每次考这个知识点的时候，出题人会让这个题目的词汇有些难度，在句子构造上有些难度，在形式上面吓到你，让你产生幻觉，是考的什么从句之类的，然后你就蒙了。也只有瞎蒙了。
在讲题目之前，我们先来看一个知识点：
强调句
结构：It +is/was+ 被强调部分 + that /which/who/whom/whose+ 句子的其它成分
（其中去掉it is（was）..... that /which/who/whom/whose句子依然完整.在判断的时候:我们去掉这些看完整不?完整说明是强调句.）
注意地方：
1) 如果被强调部分是人， 用 “that”, “who”, “whom”;
2) 如果被强调部分是物，用 “that”或 “which”;
3) 强调状语时，只能用 “that”, 不能用 “when”, “where”和 “why”;
4) 强调的主语是复数，主句的谓语动词也得用复数。
强调部分有哪些：强调的成分通常为主语、宾语、宾补、状语以及由名词短语表示的主语补足语等。
It is Marythat/who looks charming.
（强调主语） 这里是强调Mary
It was the fencethat Tom painted white yesterday.
（强调宾语）这里强调the fence
It wasyesterday that Tom painted the fence white.
（强调状语）这里强调yesterday
It was the chairman of the Trade Unionthat they elected him. （强调宾补）这里强调the chairman of the TU
那么我们看这个题目:
It was only after he had read the papers ________ Mr. Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete.
先看空格后面的:
Mr. Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete.
realize 动词:认识到,意识到.
task 名词:任务.
before:表示在...之前
(这里有点含金量,你可以引申为面前,面对)
extremely 副词:尤其地,特别地
(这里是在修饰后面的形容词difficult)
complete 动词.完成.
那么这句话:Mr. Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete.
翻译是:Gross意识到他面对的这个问题是很难完成的.
现在看前面:It was only after he had read the papers
如果这里我们把it was 和后面的空格去掉.那么就是: only after he had read the papers
前后连接就是:Mr. Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete only after he had read the papers
这里其实就是在强调: only after he had read the papers 这个成分.
根据我们前面讲的原则:你想下这里是强调的什么成分呢?after这是表示时间,那么这里就是强调状语.
再根据我们前面讲的强调状语用什么连词呢?
根据注意的地方第3点可知用:that
好吧,这个题目知道选什么了吧.你们要训练一双这种慧眼出来,然后秒杀这些题目.
1. ____ that caused him to serve dinner an hour later than usual.
A. It was we being lateB. It was our being late
C. It was we were too lateD. It was because we were late
【陷阱】此题容易误选D，认为强调的是原因状语从句 because we were late。
【分析】但实际上，此题的答案为B，强调的是句子主语 our being late，此题若还原成非强调句，即为：
Our being late caused him to serve dinner an hour later than usual.
注意，强调句的一个显著特点是，若去掉强调结构 it is [was]… that…，句子仍然成立；换句话说，该结构中的 that 不能充当句子成分。
2. “How was ______ they discovered the entrance to the underground palace?” “Totally by chance.”
A. it thatB. he thatC. it whenD. he which
【陷阱】几个干扰项均可能误选。
【分析】答案选A，为强调句的特殊疑问句形式，其相应的陈述句形式为：
It was totally by chance that they discovered the entrance to the underground palace.
比较以下各题，它们也属强调句的特殊疑问句形式：
(1) Who was it _____ saved the drowning girl?
A. since B. as C. that D. he
答案选C，被强调成分为who，该句实为类似 It was Tom that saved the drowning girl. 这类强调句的特殊疑问句形式（即对其中的Tom 提问而得）。
(2) What is it _____ his daughter needs most?
A. what B. which C. that D. if
答案选C，被强调成分为 what，该句实为类似 It is a bike that his daughter needs most. 这类强调句的特殊疑问句形式（即对其中的a bike 提问而得）。
3. _____ was very ______ that little Jim wrote the letter.
A. It, carefulB. It, carefully
C. He, carefulD. He, carefully
【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选，但最有可能误选的可能是A，认为这是一个普通的系表结构，即认为第二空要填形容词作表语。
【分析】其实，此题是一个强调句，其非强调形式为 Little Jim wrote the letter very carefully. 若用 it is … that… 的强调句式强调其中的状语very carefully 即为上面一题的题干，所以答案应选B。
