主語從句
一、概念
主語從句：在復合句中作主句的主語
例如：
That she was chsen made us very happy. 她當選了使我們很高興。
What caused the accident is a cmplete mystery. 是什么導致了這次事故還完全是一個謎。
Whether she will cme r nt is still a questin. 她是否來還是一個問題。
Which team will win the match is still unknwn. 哪個隊會贏得這場比賽還不知道。
Whever cmes t the party will receive a present. 參加聚會的每一個人都將收到一份禮物。
When they will start has nt been decided yet. 他們何時出發(fā)還沒決定。
注意：上述例句中的主語從句都是放在句首，但有時為了使句子結(jié)構(gòu)平衡，避免“頭重腳輕”，常用it作形式主語，而把從句放在后面。例如：
It is a pity that she has made such a mistake. 她犯了這樣一個錯誤,真是遺憾。
It depends n the climate whether they are ging shpping tday. 他們是否今天去購物還得看天氣情況。
二、常用句型
1. It is + adj. / n. +從句
It is a pity/shame that... 遺憾的是……
It is pssible that... 很可能……
It is unlikely that... 不可能……
2. It +不及物動詞+從句
It seems/appears that... 似乎……
It happened that... 碰巧……
3. It + be +過去分詞+從句
It is said that... 據(jù)說……
It is knwn t all that... 眾所周知……
It is reprted that... 據(jù)報道……
It is believed that... 據(jù)信……；人們相信……
It is suggested that... 有人建議……
It must be pinted ut that... 必須指出……
It has been prved that... 已證明……
例如：
It is believed that at least a scre f buildings were damaged r destryed.
據(jù)信，至少有二十座樓房遭到破壞或徹底毀掉。
It is suggested that the meeting shuld be put ff.有人建議會議延期召開。
It’s reprted that three peple were killed in the accident and five were hurt badly.
據(jù)報道，事故中三人喪生，五人重傷。
It is knwn t all that Taiwan is an inseparable part f China.
眾所周知，臺灣是中國不可分割的一部分。
三、引導詞
1. 引導詞that和what
what在從句中作句子成分(主語、賓語、表語等)。常譯成"所……的(東西、事情、話等.)"；
that只起連接作用，本身無實際意義，在從句中也不擔當任何句子成分.但that引導的主語從句放在句首時，不能省略that。
例如：
What is dne can’t be undne. (諺語)已成定局，無可挽回。
What we can’t get seems better than what we have. 我們得不到的東西似乎比已得到的要好。
That we shuld wrk ut a plan t deal with the present serius situatin is imprtant.
我們應該制定一項計劃來應付目前嚴峻的形勢，這一點非常重要。
That a new teacher will cme t teach us gegraphy is true. 一位新老師將來教我們地理，這是真的。
2. 引導詞if和whether
if和whether引導動詞后的賓語從句時一般可通用，但介詞后的賓語從句、主語從句(放在句首時)、表語從句常由whether引導。例如：
Whether she will g hme r nt is unknwn. 她是否回家還不得而知。
Whether we shall raise ducks r geese remains t be decided. 我們是養(yǎng)鴨還是養(yǎng)鵝仍沒決定。
=It remains t be decided whether/if we shall raise ducks r geese.
但我們不能說If we shall raise ducks r geese remains t be decided.
3. 連接代詞和連接副詞
連接代詞wh, which, whm, whse有各自的意義，起連接作用，并在從句中充當語、賓語、表語、定語等；連接副詞when, where, why, hw等有各自的意義，起連接作用，并在從句中充當狀語。
It is clear wh is afraid f having a change in land wnership.
It is nt yet decided which cash crp will be prduced next year.
When we’ll start tmrrw will be tld sn.
Where we can buy xen is smething we need t find ut.
四、以it作形式主語的主語從句與強調(diào)句型的區(qū)別
It be + adj./n. + that從句與強調(diào)句型均有It 之類的語言標志，但不同的是：
前者中的that從句是主語從句。若刪掉其中的It be和that，則剩余部分不論結(jié)構(gòu)還是語意都不能成為一個句子；但若將后者中的It be和that去掉，則剩余部分的結(jié)構(gòu)和語意仍能構(gòu)成一個完整的句子。
It is surprising that Mary shuld have wn first place. 令人驚奇的是瑪莉竟然獲得了第一名。
It is Mary that has wn first place. 正是瑪莉得了第一名。
第一句話中的It是形式主語,that引導的是主語從句。句中的It is和that無法刪除，一旦刪除句子就不成立。
第二句是強調(diào)句型，其中的It is和that可以去掉，因為沒有It is和that句子仍然很通順。

一、1. D 解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，家長、老師和其他高成就的同齡人會讓我們相信，如果我們希望保持競爭力，我們必須是完美的。才能有這些巨大的成就，但它們值得學生以犧牲睡眠作代價嗎？由此可推斷出，追求完美會讓學生睡眠不足，這自然會影響學生的身體健康。分析選項可知D項（追求完美的愿望可能會使許多學生以健康為代價）符合題意，故選D。
2. C 解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的最后一句Feeding n ur thirst fr perfectin, sme cllege and career industries have been set up claiming t help us reach ur gals.（為了滿足我們對完美的渴望，建立起來一些大學和職業(yè)，它們聲稱可幫助我們達到目標）。由此可推斷，一些人在我們對完美的追求中獲取利益。分析選項可知C項符合題意，故選C。
3. A 解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“we need t priritize(優(yōu)先選擇)what we want t d and cut ut the activities we cannt d. If yu enjy debating, take a law class and see hw it suits yu. If yu enjy cking, experiment in the kitchen and see what yu can make!”可知，我們需要優(yōu)先選擇我們想做的事情，并不做我們不能做的活動。也就是做你感興趣的事。分析選項可知A符合題意，故選A。
4. D 解析：推理判斷題。第一段“We have a strange bsessin with the cncept f perfectin. … Under cultural influence, we seek what we can’t have withut remembering that we dn’t actually need t be perfect. Imperfectin allws us t be human.”本句是指“我們對完美的概念有一種奇怪的迷戀。而因為不完美，我們才是真正的人”。由此可知，人們要接受自己的不完美。分析選項可知D符合題意，故選D。
二、5. D 解析：考查形容詞辨析。A. thrilling令人激動的，顫動的；B. exciting激動人心的；C. bring無聊的，乏味的；D. tuching感人的，動人的。根據(jù)下文的故事可知是一個感人的（tuching）故事。故選D。
6. A 解析：考查名詞辨析。A. farmer農(nóng)民；B. wrker 工人；C. teacher老師；D. engineer工程師。根據(jù)下文中的“n the farm where Greta had been ___5__”可知，他是個農(nóng)民，故選A。
7. C 解析：考查固定搭配。A. place 地方；B. time時間；C. sight 視野；D. way方法。句意： 28歲的Ureta遇到17 歲的Graciela yraiz，他們一見鐘情。fall in lve at first sight 為固定搭配，意為“一見鐘情”，在此符合題意，故選C。
8. B 解析：考查動詞辨析及固定搭配。A. put放入；B. settled定居，解決；C. laid 放置； D. tk拿起，接受。句意：兩年后，他們結(jié)婚后在農(nóng)場定居了。settle dwn為固定搭配，意為“定居下來”，故選B。
9. D 解析：考查動詞短語辨析。A. picked up拾起，撿起；B. given up放棄；C. made up構(gòu)成，化裝；D. brught up教育，培養(yǎng)，長大。此處是指“他們倆結(jié)婚后在Ureta長大（brught up）的地方定居下來”。 根據(jù)語境可知，brught up合適，故選D。
10. B 解析：考查介詞辨析。A. belw在……的下面；B. ver在……的上面；C. acrss穿過；D. beynd超過。根據(jù)常識及語境可知，此處是指“Graciala坐飛機飛越潘帕時，……”可知，飛機在農(nóng)場的上空飛，因此要用“在……的上方”，故選B。
11. A 解析：考查名詞辨析。A. air空氣，天空；B. distance距離；C. beginning 開始；D. tp頂部。Graciala坐飛機飛越潘帕時，所以是從空中看。因此此處是指“從空中（air）看另一個農(nóng)場看起來像一個擠奶桶”，故選A。
12. D 解析：考查動詞辨析。A. treated治療，對待；B. regarded尊敬，看；C. cnsidered考慮，認為D. shaped；塑造，形成。此處是指“被塑造成她最喜歡的樂器吉他形狀的巨大森林”，be shaped as…為固定搭配，意為“被塑造成……”，因此選D。
13. C 解析：考查動詞辨析。A. disliked不喜歡；B. missed錯過，思念；C. enjyed 享受，喜愛；D. avided避免。根據(jù)“her favrite musical instrument”及“playing the guitar in her spare time and ften played the guitar”，可知，“格雷西拉喜歡在業(yè)余時間彈吉他，而且經(jīng)常彈吉他”，此處應填enjyed（喜愛）。故填C。
