历年高考单选题中常常出现It+be+时间+从句的这类句型,先看几道高考题: 例1:It is almost five years________we saw each other last time.(05北京) A.before B.since C.after D.when 正确答案:B 我们已经有5年没见面了。 例2:-Did Jack come back early last night? -Yes.It was not yet eight o‘clock________he arrived home.(2005福建24) A.before B.when C.that D.until 正确答案:B 他回家时还不到8点。 这类考题出现频率较高,考生又极易混淆,在复习中做出归类非常必要: 1.It is/has been + 时间段 + since + 一般过去时 例1:It is/has been 10 years since he came here.这类句型可转化为: =Ten years has passed since he came here. 这一句型可扩展为:It was+时间段+since(从句用过去完成时) 例2:It was years since he had arrived in China.(过去是+since+过去完成时) 需要注意的是since从句的谓语动词一般是非延续性动词,但有时也可用延续性动词或表示状态的词,此时需要注意句子的翻译: 例3:It is three years since she came to our class.她来我们班已经有三年了。 It is three years since she was in our class.她离开我们班已经有三年了。 2.It + was + 时间点 + when clause(从句谓语用一般过去时) will be+时间点+when clause(从句谓语用一般现在时表将来) 例1:It was already evening when he came back.当他回家时已经8点了。 例2:It will be midday when they get home.当他们到家时将是中午。 3.It + will(not) be + 时间段 + before + 现在时 was(not)+时间段+before+过去时 例1:It will be another year before he comes here. 例2:It was some time______we realized the truth.(2005山东24) A.when B.until C.since D.before 正确答案:D。过了一段时间后我们才了解了真相。 该句型中before前常用时间段,表示“…之后才…”“在…之前就…”;有时before前也可以用时间点,此时突出表示动作的变化。试比较: 例3:It was evening before we reached the little town of Tailstocks. 当我们到达Tailstocks时已经黑了。(到达前天还没有黑) 4.It/This is + the + 序数词 + 时间 + 定语从句(从句用完成时) 例1:It is the first time (that) I have been here.(定语从句) 该句型可扩展为:It was+序数词+时间+定语从句(从句用过去完成时) 例2:It was the second time he had been out with her alone. 例3:It’s the second time you________late this week. A.arrive B.arrived C.havearrived D.hadarrived 正确答案:C。这是这个星期你第二次迟到了。 5.It is + (high)time + that + did(虚拟语气) 例1:It is (high) time (that) we stopped pollution. 其中that引导得从句中也可用should+V(原型) 例2:It is (high) time (that) you came/should come here. 写作中表示建议时也常可用这类句型。 例3:It‘s high time we took measures to solve this problem. 注意应将以上5种句型与强调时间的强调句型的区别: 6.It be + 时间(被强调部分) + that 例1:It was at 6 o’clock that we heard the noise. 例2:It was 3 years ago that he joined the army. 最简单的判断方法是:当表示时间的词前有介词或者后有副词时,一定是强调结构,必用that。 试比较下面句式与强调句的不同之处: It was already ten o‘clock when he arrived. It is ten years since I met you last. It was quite some time before he found the elephant at all. 以上几句中时间前无介词后没副词故不是强调句型。 《动手练一练》: 1.It was not until 1936________basketball became a regular part of the Olympic Games.
