题目内容
【题目】It wasn’t until nearly a month later ________ I received the manager’s reply.
A. sinceB. whenC. as D. that
【答案】D
【解析】
试题分析:考查强调句型。强调句型的基本形式是“It is/was...that...”,对not... until...句式的强调有固定的结构,即“It was not(wasn’t) until...that...”。本题还原为普通的not until句型,为I didn’t receive the manager’s reply until nearly a month later.故答案选D。
【知识拓展】
1.强调句型的基本结构是:It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who/whom + 句子未被强调部分.
该句型可以用于强调除谓语外的句子所有成分。如果被强调部分为sb时,引导词可以用who/whom,who强调主语sb,而whom强调宾语sb;但是that可以用于任何强调句型。该句型的最大特点是:去掉it is/was和引导词that/who/whom之后,剩下部分为完整的一个句子(有时候需要调整句序)。
如:I met him in the street yesterday.
强调主语I时,改为:It was I who/that met him in the street yesterday.
强调宾语him时,改为:It was him whom/that I met in the street yesterday.
强调地点状语in the street时,改为:It was in the street that I met him yesterday.
强调时间状语yesterday时,改为:It was yesterday that I met him in the street.
以上句子如果去掉it was和引导词that/who/whom外,适当调整句序后,都会还原成原句:I met him in the street yesterday.
2.而not...until...的强调句型为:It is/was not until + 状语/状语从句 + that + 句子/主句的肯定句形式。
如:I didn't go to bed until my parents returned.
其强调句型为:It was not until my parents returned that I went to bed.
再如:I didn't go to bed until 11:30 pm.
其强调句型为:It was not until 11:30 pm that I went to bed.
