一道强调句易错考题分析

下面这个句子是考查强调句吗？答案是哪个？

It was what he meant rather than what he said _________ annoyed me.

A. which                  B. as                        C. what                    D. that

许多同学对此题的结构分析感到无从下手。其实，此题为一个强调句型，空格处应填 that (即选D)，被强调成分为 what he meant rather than what he said。句意为“让我生气的不是他说的话，而是他话中的意思”。请再看几例：

(1) It was his nervousness in the interview _________ probably lost him the job.

A. which                  B. since                    C. that                      D. what

答案选C，为强调句型，被强调成分为 his nervousness in the interview，句意为“很可能是面试时表现出紧张，使他失去了这份工作”。

(2) It is the ability to do the job _________ matters not where you come from or what you are.

A. one                      B. that                      C. what                    D. it

答案选B，为强调句型，被强调成分为 the ability to do the job，句意为“重要的是你做工作的能力，而不是你来自何地或你是从事什么工作的”。
