题目内容
【题目】It was with his iron-fist approach to fighting crimes in the southern state _______the 70-year-old man built a political name.
A. to fighting, where B. of fighting, that
C. of fighting, where D. to fighting, that
【答案】D
【解析】
试题分析:考查非谓语动词和强调句式。approach to doing sth.做某事的方法。句意:这位70岁的老人在南方打击犯罪的铁拳方法使其确立了自己的政治名声。此句是强调句式,所以第二空填that,故选D。
【学法指导】
强调句型
1.在英语中,我们常用It is/was… who/that结构来突出强调句子的某一成分(一般是句子中主语,宾语或状语)。在这个句型中,it没有词汇意义,只是引出被强调的成分。如果被强调的成分是表示人的词,用who或that来连接都可以。如果是其它成分,则一律用that来连接。It is my mother who/that cooks every day.是我的妈妈每天做饭;It was yesterday that Tom passed in the maths exam.是昨天汤姆通过了数学考试。
2.被强调成分是主语,who/that之后的谓语动词应该在人称和数上与原句中的主语保持一致。It is I who am right.It is he who is wrong. It is the students who are lovely.
3.被强调部分既包括人又包括物,用that不用who。lt was the things and people that they remembered that they were talking about.
