Question

2．正因为是他被任命为经理，该公司在过去的十年中迅速发展为广告业巨头．（It）It was because he was appointed as manager that the company has developed into a giant in the advertising business．．

Answer 1

分析 It was because he was appointed as manager that the company has developed into a giant in the advertising business．

解答 It was because he was appointed as manager that the company has developed into a giant in the advertising business．
本句描述的是他担任公司经理一职后的结果以及根据句意"在过去的十年中"，可知用一般过去时．
结合句意"正因为是他被任命为经理"，可知需要运用强调句型．被强调部分为一原因状语从句．
be appointed as被任命为…；a giant 巨人，巨头．

点评 注意强调句型中的被强调部分可以是除谓语以外的其他成分，如主语、宾语、状语（从句）等，如：
It was at the railway station that I met Li Ming yesterday．
