( 2002.全国.25 )A. they B. it C. one D. which 在此指买房之后的情况
5、。又如:She was frightened, but tried not to show it. 她非常恐惧,但竭力没有表现出来。二、it可在句子中作主语或宾语，用来代替一个名词，一个短语，一个分句或一个句子，以避免它们在句子中的重复。为了避免句中作真正主语的动词不定式短语、动名词短语和名词性从句(一般都比较长)置于句首时造成头重脚轻，习惯上用it作形式主语置于句首，指代后面的真正主语，使句子显得流畅,保持句子的平衡。而且，作形式主语的代词只能用it ，不能用that，this等词.it作形式主语的用法1.It + be形容词(for sb./ sth) 动词不定式此句型中的形容词用来描述动

9、4.It+ be 形容词/名词doing sth此句型中的形容词和名词常见的有：no / little use, no / much good, no / much harm, no / a wonder, useless, senseless, dangerous, enjoyable, worthwhile 等。如：It is no use crying over spilt milk. 覆水难收。9 _ felt funny watching myself on TV.

21、其余的全部用that。这一句型也可用于一般疑问句、否定句或特殊疑问句。其特点是:去掉It is(was)及that (who)后,在不添词、不减词的前提下能重新构成一个意义完整的句子。例如：25WasitduringtheSecondWorldWar_hedied?(88)A.thatB.whileC.inwhichD.then 26Itwasnot_shetookoffherglasses_Irealizedshewasafamousfilmstar.

26、 the place. It is ( high / about ) time ( that ) sb. did / should do sth. 该句型中that引导虚拟定语从句，修饰先行词time，意思是：某人早该做某事了。It is high time (that ) he went to school . It is / has been + 时间段+ since sb. did sth.It was+ 时间段+ since sb. had done sth. 若since从句中的谓语动词是终止性动词，表示“自某人做某事以来已经多久了”；若从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词，则表示“自某人不

31、结构）It is +地点名词+ whereIt is the place where I was born.（定语从句）It is +地点状语+ thatIt was in the place that I came to know him.（强调结构）四替代词it, that与one的区别it表特指，替代前文中出现过的同一名词；替代前文中出现过的同类名词时，用that和one。that表特指，相当于“the+名词”，可代替单数可数名词或不可数名词（只指物不指人），one用于泛指，相当于“a/an+名词”，只代替单数可数名词（可表示人也可表示物）。I hope there are enough
