③The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste.

[我的发现]
(1)以上5个句子都是主从复合句,黑体部分均为从句,这些从句属于表语从句。
(2)①②③属于that引导的表语从句,④属于why引导的表语从句,⑤属于as if引导的表语从句。

一、概念
在主从复合句中充当表语的从句,叫作表语从句。它常位于系动词之后,用来说明主语是什么或怎么样。
二、连接词的用法
1.that引导的表语从句
用法:①无意义 ②(在从句中)不充当成分 ③一般不省略
The trouble is that she has lost his address.麻烦的是她弄丢了他的地址。
My suggestion is that we should tell him.我的建议是我们应该告诉他。
2.whether引导的表语从句
The question remains whether they will be able to help us.问题仍然是他们能否帮助我们。
[名师点津] if不能引导表语从句。
3.连接代词和连接副词引导的表语从句
The problem is how we can find him.问题是我们如何找到他。
He is no longer what he was.他已经不再是以前的他了。
That's where you are wrong.这就是你不对的地方。
4.because、as if/as though等引导的表语从句
It seems as if he knows everything.看起来好像他知道一切事情。
That's because you can't appreciate music.那是因为你不会欣赏音乐。

选词填空
①The fact is that we have lost the match.

③It looks as if it is going to snow.
④This is what we want to do.
⑤Their difficulty is how they can raise enough money.
⑥Tom was caught in a heavy rain.That was why he caught a cold yesterday.
三、注意事项
1.why和because引导的表语从句的区别
That's why...
意为“那是……的原因”,强调结果
That's because...
意为“那是因为……”,强调原因
I didn't phone her,and that's why she got angry with me.我没有给她打电话,那就是她对我生气的原因。(强调“生气”这一结果)
I didn't phone her,and that's because I got angry with her.我没有给她打电话,那是因为我生她的气了。(强调“生气”这一原因)
2.表语从句中的虚拟语气
在表语从句中,表示间接的命令、要求、请求、建议、决定等,主句中的主语通常是advice、suggestion、proposal、request、order、idea等,从句谓语形式是“should+动词原形”(should可以省略,但不可换成would)。
My suggestion is that we (should) start early tomorrow.我的建议是我们明天应该早点出发。
