• 四、强调句型的 how … it is (that) +主语+谓语！
• 12．What a beautiful picture it is (that) you have drawn!
• 13．How beautiful it is (that) your daughter is!
• [简析]：本题答案为D。 第一个that为强调句型中的 that；第二个that引导同位语从句，说明the decision 的内容。
九、强调句型和定语从句的结合。
• 句式特征为: 在强调句型的被强调部分或其他部分
中找出一个先行词，附上修饰该部分的定语从句，
这样整个句子结构就变得非常复杂。应特别注意不 要混淆定语从句的关系词和强调句型中的that/who 部分。

六、在强调句型中考察主谓一致与比较结构。
• 在强调句型中，有时也考察用rather than， not …but…等连接的平行对比结构，此时既 要注重比较结构，又要注意主谓一致，属于较 复杂的句式。
• 句式特征为：
• It is/was not…but…that… ;
• [简析]：本题含义为“是在这间小房子里他度过了童 年”，the small house作先行词，其后的定语从句缺做 主语的关系代词；第二空所缺的应是强调句型中的结构 词that, 故答案选A。再如：
• [简析]：本句中被强调部分为对比结构，含义为“导 致世界人口快速增长的原因是对疾病的预防而非对 疾病的成功治疗。”当然has led to的主语应是the prevention of disease。
七、强调句型中的be动词和情态动词的结合。
• 句式特征: It may be+ 被强调部分+ that …
还可说成：It is the ability to do the job not where you come
from or what you are that matters. 但这样就显得句子重心不稳，
结构不合理。

• 19．It is the prevention of disease rather than its successful treatment that has led to the rapid increase of the world’s population.
• 这是一个含有情态动词的强调句型的一般疑问句形式，第一 空格所在的句子成分应为定语从句，结合介词in应用关系代 词which；第二个空格所在部分应为强调句型中的that分句。 故答案为B。
