语法专练十三 特殊句式
高考真题
1.(2012·湖南高考)It was not until I came here __________ I realized this place was famous for not only its beauty but also its weather.
A.who B.that
C.where D.before
解析:句意:我直到来到这儿才意识到此处出名的不仅是它的美而且还有这里的天气。判断强调句式的方法是将it is/was...that去掉时句式是否完整。不难看出此处是强调not until引导的时间状语。故B项正确。
答案:B
2.(2012·重庆高考)It was 80 years before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic ________ Zheng He had sailed to East Africa.
A.when B.that
C.after D.since
解析:强调的是时间状语,故用that来引导。句意:是在克里斯托弗·哥伦布横渡大西洋80年前,郑和就已经航海到了非洲东部。故选B项。
答案:B
