it用法一直是高考考查的热点之一,现就2007年高考试题,对此用法考点作逐一解析如下:
一、考查it作形式主语和形式宾语
1. ____ felt funny watching myself on TV. (全国II)
A. One B. This C. It D. That
解析:答案为C。分析句子结构可知,本句是it作形式主语,watching myself on TV作真正主语的句型。one, this, that都不能在句中作形式主语。
2. ____ worries me the way he keeps changing his mind.(山东)
A. This B. That C. What D. It
解析:答案为D。分析句子结构可知,本句是it作形式主语,the way he keeps changing his mind作真正主语的句型。this, that, what都不能在句中作形式主语。
3. He didnt make ____ clear when and where the meeting would be held.(天津)
A. this B. that C. it D. these
解析:答案为C。分析句子结构可知,本句是it作形式宾语,when and where the meeting would be held作真正宾语的句型。this, that, these都不能在句中作形式宾语。
TIPS:
(1)一般来说,当it作形式宾语,其后常接形容词、少数名词作宾语补足语。能够后接it作形式宾语的通常是表示“认为”的谓语动词,如:think,consider, feel, find以及make(使)等。
(2)在谓语动词appreciate, like, dislike, hate, enjoy, love, prefer, see to(保证), think of, depend on等词或词组后也可接it作形式宾语,指代if,when或that从句所包含的内容。
①Id appreciate ____ if you would like to teach me how to use the
computer.(06山东)
A. that B. it C. this D. you
②I like ____ in the autumn when the weather is clear and bright.(04河南)
A. this B. that C. it D. one
③Ill see to ____ that there are enough tickets for you.
A. one B. that C. it D. this
[参考答案]①B ②C ③C
(3)使用it作形式宾语的常用句型结构为:主语+think(consider, feel,find, make)+it(形式宾语)+形容词或名词(宾补)+不定式复合结构或名词性从句(真正宾语)。
①I think it a duty for us to help others in trouble.
我认为帮助处于困境中的人是我们的一种职责。
②They want to make it clear to the public that they do an important and necessary job.
他们想要使公众明白,他们做的是一项重要且必要的工作。
二、考查it强调句型
1. I dont mind her criticizing me, but ____ is how she does it that I
object to.(江西)
A. it B. that C. this D. which
解析:答案为A。这是it强调句型,强调宾语从句“how she does it”,将原句还原后为“I object to how she does it”。
2. It ____ we had stayed together for a couple of weeks ____ I found we had a lot in common.(浙江)
A. was until; when B. was until; that
C. wasnt until; when D. wasnt until; that
解析:答案为D。这是it强调句型,强调的是时间状语从句“not until we had stayed together for a couple of weeks”,将原句还原后为“I didnt find we had a lot in common until we had stayed together for a couple of weeks”。题意为“直到呆在一起若干星期后,才发现我们之间有这么多的相似点”。
3. It is not who is right but what is right ____ is of importance.
(重庆)
A. which B. it C. that D. this
解析:答案为C。这是it强调句型,强调的是主语从句“not who is right but what is right”,将原句还原后为“Not who is right but what is right is of importance”。
TIPS:
(1)判断是it强调句型还是定语从句的方法是:去掉“It is(was)…that”后,若全句语法、语意仍然完整,即可断定为强调句型,否则,可当定语从句来处理。
(2)强调句型中的it无词义,但绝不可用this, that代替。
(3)is/was(不可用are/were代替)由原句的谓语时态来决定,现在时与将来时用is,过去时用was。
(4)强调主语时,原句谓语应与强调的主语在人称、数上保持不变。
(5)被强调的对象为人时,可用that/who(若强调的对象人作宾语,也可用whom)。其他情况一律用that。
(6)对人称代词强调时,应保持人称代词格不变。
(7)强调句型的陈述式为It is/was+被强调的成分+that/who+原句的其他成分。
(8)强调句型的一般疑问式为Is/Was it+被强调的成分+that/who+原句的其他成分?
(9)强调句型的特殊疑问式为疑问词+is/was it that/who+原句的其他成分?
三、考查it时间句型中状语从句连词的选用
1. ——He got his first book published. It turned out to be a bestseller.
——When was ____?
——____ was in 2000 when he was still in college.(浙江)
A. that; This B. this; It C. it; This D. that; It
解析:答案为D。由第二空得知此处考查的是It+be+时间+when引导时间状语从句,it用来表示时间,故排除A、C;又因为两人叙述的是过去发生的事情,所以要用that来表示,this常用于表示下文要提到的事。
2. He was told that it would be at least three more months ____ he could recover and return to work.(江西)
A. when B. before C. since D. that
解析:答案为B。“It+be+一段时间+before引导时间状语从句”肯定式意为“多久以后才……”;否定式意为“没过多久就……”。本句句意为“他被告知至少在三个多月后他才能康复并重新工作”。
3. The field research will take Joan and Paul about five months; it will be a long time ____ we meet them again.(安徽)
A. after B. before C. since D. when
解析:答案为B。“It+be+一段时间+before引导的时间状语从句”肯定式意为“多久以后才……”;否定式意为“没过多久就……”。本句句意为“很长时间以后我们才能再次见面”。
TIPS:
(1)“It+be+一段时间+before引导的时间状语从句”肯定式意为“多久以后才……”;否定式意为“没过多久就……”。
(2)“It+be+时间+when引导的时间状语从句”中it指时间,一般具体时间前无介词,主从句谓语时态一致,意为“当某事发生时,时间是……”。
——Did Jack come back early last night?
——Yes, it was not yet eight oclock ____ he arrived home.(05福建)
A. before B. when C. that D. until
(3)“It+be+一段时间+since引导的时间状语从句”since从句谓语时态必须是一般过去时或过去完成时,若since与延续性动词连用,则意为“某人不做某事已多久了”;若since与短暂性动词连用,则意为“某人做某事已多久了”。
That was really a splendid evening. Its years ____ I enjoyed myself
so much.(05安徽)
A. when B. that C. before D. since
四、考查it与one、that的区别
1. ——Have you heard the latest news?
——No, what ____?(全国I)
A. is it B. is there C. are they D. are those
解析:答案为A。news为不可数名词,it用来代替不可数名词或单数可数名词,特指前面提到的“同类同物”。
2. In my opinion,life in the twenty-first century is much easier than ____.(安徽)
A. that used to be B. it is used to
C. it was used to D. it used to be
解析:答案为D。it用来代替不可数名词或单数可数名词,特指前面提到的“同类同物”;that常用来替代带定冠词的不可数名词或单数可数名词,构成that of…的形式,表示“同类异物”;used to be 表示“过去曾经是”;be used to则表示“习惯于”。
3. Little joy can equal ____ of a surprising ending when you read
stories.(四川)
A. that B. those C. any D. some
解析:答案为A。that 常用来替代带定冠词的不可数名词或单数可数名词,构成that of…的形式,表示“同类异物”。此句中that=the joy。句意为:没有什么比得上读到一个出人意料的故事结尾更快乐的事。
4. The information on the Internet gets around much more rapidly than ____ in the newspaper.(辽宁)
A. it B. those C. one D. that
解析:答案为D。it用来代替不可数名词或单数可数名词,特指前面提到的“同类同物”;one一般用来替代带不定冠词的可数名词,表示“同类异物”,泛指同一类中的一个;that 常用来替代带定冠词的不可数名词或单数可数名词,表示“同类异物”。the one=that;the ones=those, that不能指代人的概念,而those既可以替代人也可以替代物。此处that替代the information。
5. ——There is still a copy of the book in the library. Will you go and borrow ____?
——No, Id rather buy ____ in the bookstore.(陕西)
A. it; one B. one; one C. one; it D. it; it
解析:答案为A。it用来代替不可数名词或单数可数名词,特指前面提到的“同类同物”,第一空与a copy of the book指同一物,用it;one一般用来替代带不定冠词的可数名词,表示“同类异物”,泛指同一类中的一个,第二空符合此点,则用one。
