(1)“it”引导的强调句
1)It + is/was + 被强调部分 + that/which/who/whom/whose + 句子的其他成分：
在这一结构中，如果被强调部分是人，用"that"，“who”，“whom”;如果被强调部分是物，用"that"或“which";强调状语时，只能用"that"，不能用"when"，“where” 和"why";强调的主语是复数，主句的谓语动词也得用单数。
It was uncle Bill、whose telephone number I lost.
It was we that/who arrived there first.
It was because it rained heavily that they didn’t go outing.
③作表语的形容词不能用于强调句式。
误：It is beautiful that Helen is.
④“No matter”+“关系代词/关系副词”加强语气：
Tom is absolutely right in doing this job.
This is just the word the author uses in his article.
He is nothing if not careful.(=He is very careful.)
They are the truest of friends.

[注]在疑问句中，当宾语是"them"时，强调时应改为"those"

Was it those that the professor regarded with such contempt?
5)对否定句中的某部分强调时，要注意"not"的前移：
6)在“It is/was……”之后可用“肯定+否定”或“否定+肯定”形式，以加强对比含义。
