1、浅谈 it 作形式主语和形式宾语用法It 作形式主语和形式宾语用法，是中学阶段英语学习的主要语法项目之一。纵观历届高考题，无论是单项选择，还是完行填空，it 用法始终是反复考查的重、热点之一。现将it 在特殊句型中作形式主语和形式宾语用法，进行如下归纳分析，以供学习参考。一、 It 用作形式主语当不定式（短语） 、动名词（短语）或从句在某个句子中作主语时，为保持句子结构前后平衡，避免头重脚轻，因此常用 it 作形式主语置于句首，而将真正的主语放在句尾。此时 it只起先行引导作用，本身无词义。e.g. It is wrong to tell a lie. (说谎是错误的。) It 为 to te
2、ll a lie 的形式主语It is no use arguing about it. (争吵是没用的。) It 为 arguing about it 的形式主语It is uncertain who will come. (谁要来还不确定。) It 为 who will come 的形式主语It 作形式主语的常见句型： It + be + 形容词 + to do sth. / doing / that .e.g. It is very important to learn a foreign language. (学一门外语非常重要。)It is useless crying over t

(据说他们发明了一种新型电脑。)It is believed that China will become one of the strongest countries in the wo
5、rld.(大家都相信中国将会步入世界强国之列。)It was reported that more than 170 thousand people died in the 2004 tsunami.(据报道，至少有十七万人在 2004 年那场海啸中丧生。) It + seems / appears / happens 等不及物动词 + that .e.g. It seems that he enjoys pop songs very much.(似乎他非常喜欢流行歌曲。)It appears that Tom might change his mind.

11、从句若作该动词的宾语时，须借用 it。e.g. I leave it to your own judgement whether you should do it.（我让你自己判断这事是否该做。 ）We owe it to you that there wasnt a serious accident.（多亏了你才没有发生严重事故。 ）试比较下列高考题，选出最佳答案：1.
