It was in 1867 that President Andrew Johnsons Secretary of States(国务卿), William H. Seward, bought Alask
2、a from the Russians at the cost of $7.2 million. The buying of the northern land seemed at first something foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and it appeared to be of no importance in time of war. Besides there are volcanoes (火山) there as Alaska
3、lies on the Pacific “ring of fire”. In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year round. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called “Sewards Folly(蠢事) ” at that time.However, in 1896, gold was found in Alaska, and people poured into the land. Then other important natural r

6、句型主要是:It is / was that / who / whom。该句型可以用来强调除谓语动词以外的任何成分。例如上文中的:It was in 1867 that President Andrew Johnsons Secretary of States(国务卿), William H. Seward, bought Alaska from the Russians at the cost of $7.2 million. 该句强调了时间状语 in 1867。意思是: 正是在 1867 年 ,当时担任美国总统 Andrew Johnson 国务卿的William H. Seward 以七

10、bought a video camera. (该句中的 that 不能换成 when)2)It was in London that I met her for the first time.

11、eached its highest point. 还有一种发生了改变的强调句型:It is / was not until +被强调部分 时间状语(词、短语或从句) + that 从句(用肯定句) 。例如:1)It was not until 11:45 that he went to bed.2)It was not until she took off her dark glasses that I realized she was a famous film star.3. 其他可以用于表示强调的方式: 用副词或短语表示强调,以加强语气,如:only, even, much, enou

22、主语时,句子不使用倒装语序。例如:Only Tom can solve this problem. 用在 省略了 if 的虚拟语气 句子中。在含有 were, had, should 的虚拟语气的句子中,如果省略了 if, 则将 were, had, should 置于句首,形成倒装语序。例如:1)If I were here, I should go. = Were I here, I should go.2)If she had come earlier, she would have caught the train.= Had she come earlier, she would h

25、或名词性短语,谓语动词为不及物动词时,句子用全部倒装结构。例如:Now comes the winter vacation youre looking forward to.Out rushed the children.当句首是表示地点的 介词短语 时,用全部倒装。例如:On the top of the building flies the national flag.在使用倒装句时,要注意如果一个句子是复合句的话,不管它带有几个从句,倒装语序都只能用一次,即主句用倒装语序,而从句则一律使用陈述语序。相关练习:Directions: There are 20 incomplete sent
