语法精讲——it的用法
在英语中,it的使用相当广泛,它既可以用作代词,也可用作引导词,还可用在强调结构中.
(一)作人称代词
这时it指前面已经提到过的人或事物.
-Where is the cat?-猫在哪儿?
-It is lying under the chair.-它躺在椅子下面.
He took off the first shoe and threw it on the floor.他脱下第一只鞋子,把它扔在地板上.
I've seen the film Gone with the Wind, It is very interesting.我看过电影《飘》.这部电影很有意思.
(二)作非人称代词
1.当说话者不清楚或无必要知道说话对象的性别时,也可以用it指代.
Is it a boy or a girl?是男孩还是女孩?
There is someone knocking at the door. Who is it?有人敲门.是谁呢?
2.it除可代替事物外,还可指时间、天气、距离、重量、状况或其他情况等
It's time for class.是上课的时候了.
It's warm today.今天天气暖和.It weighs 350 pounds.重量为350磅.
3.it有时不确指
How's it going with you?你近况如何?
It was dull when Mary was away.玛丽不在,真没劲.
How is it going?情况怎么样?
4.it还可用于强调结构
英语常用的强调结构为it is(was)+被强调部分(主语、宾语或状语)+who(that)....一般说来,被强调部分指人时用who(that),指物时用that.
It is Li Lei that cleaned the classroom.是李雷打扫了教室.
It was yesterday that l bought the book.我是昨天买这本书的.
(三)作形式主语
为了避免将句中作真实主语的不定式短语、-ing分词短语和主语从句置于句首造成头重脚轻,习惯上用it作形式主语来指代后面的真实主语.
1.代替不定式短语
It is wrong to tell a lie.说谎是不对的.
It is necessary to buy that dictionary.有必要买下那本词典.
2.代替-ing分词短语
It is no use going there so early.这么早去那里没用.
It is no use learning without thinking.学而不思则罔.
3.代替主语从句
It is said that Mary is leaving for London tomorrow.据说玛丽明天要动身前往伦敦.
It is certain that we shall succeed.我们一定会成功.
(四)it常用句型
1.It + v. + to do sth.
· It takes her a week to finish reading this book.
· It cost me five hundred dollars.
2.It + be + adj.+ to do sth.
· It’s glad to see you gain.

3.It + be + adj.+ for sb. to do sth. (用于形容事情)

5.It + be + n. + to do sth.

6.It is / has been + 时间段+since...
· It’s/ has been more than ten years since we met one another last time.
· It’s/ has been twenty years since he gave up smoking.
7.It + is + the first/ second/ third time + that...(现在完成时)

· It’s the second time that she has read Treasure Island.
It + was + the first/ second/ third time + that...(过去完成时)

一、单项选择
1.It’s polite ________ others.
A.help B.to help C.helping D.helps
【答案】B
【详解】句意:帮助别人是有礼貌的。
考查it固定句型。help帮助,动词原形;to help动词不定式;helping动名词或现在分词;helps动词的第三人称单数形式。根据“It’s polite…”可知,此处是固定句型“It’s+形容词+to do sth”表示“做某事是……的”,所以此处应用to help。故选B。
2.It’s time ________ our class.
A.to begin B.begin C.beginning D.to beginning
【答案】A
【详解】句意:到我们上课的时间了。
考查非谓语动词。It’s time to do sth.是固定句型,意为“到做某事的时间了”,所以此处应用动词不定式to begin。故选A。
3.It’s important ________ us to eat a balanced diet.
A.for B.of C.to D.with
【答案】A
【详解】句意:均衡饮食对我们来说很重要。

4.________ seems that you know a lot about this city.
A.This B.It C.You D.That
【答案】B
【详解】句意:看起来你对这座城市了解很多。
考查代词辨析。This这个;It它;You你;That那个。“It seems that ...”,意为“看来……,似乎……”,固定句式,it作形式主语。故选B。

—Yes. We can have fun ________ the beautiful sights on the way.
A.travelling; to enjoy B.to travel; enjoying
C.travelling; enjoying D.to travel; to enjoy
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——和我们的朋友一起环游世界很有趣吗?——是。我们可以在路上享受美丽的风景。
考查非谓语动词。根据“Is it great fun…around the world”可知,第一空考查“it is+名词+to do sth”固定结构,因此填不定式to travel;根据“We can have fun”可知,考查have fun doing sth“做某事很高兴”,因此填动名词enjoying。故选B。
6.________ wasn’t s easy to predict weather in the past.
A.It B.These C.This D.Its
【答案】A
【详解】句意:过去预测天气并不容易。
考查it作形式主语。It is/was+adj.+to do sth“做某事……”,it为形式主语,真正的主语为动词不定式。故选A。
7.It is not polite ________ you to speak ________ mouth full.
A.for; when B.of; when C.for; with D.of; with
【答案】D
【详解】句意:你嘴里满是食物时说话是不礼貌的。
考查介词辨析。for对于;of属于……的;with带有;when当……时。It is+形容词 for/of sb to do sth为固定句型,用of时强调人的品质特征,for指“对于某人来说”;此处polite指人的品质特征,应用介词of;排除A、C;when引导时间状语从句,空后并非句子,不能用when,排除B。故选D。
8.We found ________ necessary to plant more trees when spring comes.
A.it B.this C.that D.what
【答案】A
【详解】句意:我们发现春天来的时候有必要种更多的树。
考查it作形式宾语。it它;this这个;that那个;what什么。根据“We found...necessary to plant more trees when spring comes.”可知,此处it作形式宾语,不定式作真正的宾语。故选A。
9.—_______ is the weather in Beijing?

A.What; It’s B.How; It’s C.How; It D.What; It
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——北京天气怎么样?——温暖而晴朗。
考查特殊疑问句。What什么;It’s它是;How如何;It它。询问天气可以用“How is the weather?”或“What is the weather like?”。此处用how,排除A、D;第二句缺少主语和谓语,主语是it,be动词用is。故选B。
10.—Tom, it’s time ________ class.
—OK. Let’s ________.
A.for; going B.for; go C.to; go D.to; going
【答案】B
【详解】句意:——Tom,上课时间到了。——好的。让我们走吧。

11.It’s very kind ________ you to share your report with me.
A.of B.for C.to D.with
【答案】A
【详解】句意:你和我分享你的报告,你真是太好了。
考查介词辨析。“It’s + adj. + of sb. to do sth.”表示“某人做某事是……的”,这里的形容词kind是用来描述人的品质、性格等内在特征;“It’s + adj. + for sb. to do sth.”表示“对于某人来说做某事是……的”,其中的形容词一般是描述事情的性质。根据语境可知,此处是在夸赞“you”的善良品质,描述人所以用“of”。“to”和“with”无此搭配用法。故选A。
12.________ is not easy for people to keep exercising every day.
A.That B.This C.It D.One
【答案】C
【详解】句意:人们每天保持锻炼是不容易的。
考查代词用法。That那个;This这个;It它;One泛指一类。根据分析句子成分可知,本句为固定句型It is + 形容词 + for sb. to do sth,表示“做某事对某人来说是……”,其中It作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to keep exercising every day。故选C。
13.I found ________ important to keep exercising to keep fit.
A.one B.this C.that D.it
【答案】D
【详解】句意:我发现坚持锻炼来保持健康很重要。
考查it的用法。one一个;this这个;that那个;it它。分析句子结构可知,此处是it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式,句型是“find it+形容词+to do sth”,意为“发现做某事……”。故选D。

A.leave B.to leave C.forget D.to forget

【详解】句意:他又把作业忘在家里了,真是太粗心了。
考查动词辨析和it固定句型。leave遗忘,动词原形;to leave遗忘,动词不定式;forget忘记,动词原形;to forget忘记,动词不定式。It is adj of sb to do意为“某人做某事是怎样的”,to do作真正的主语,故排除A和C;根据“...his homework at home”可知,此处表示把作业忘在家里,leave sth+介词短语,意为“把某物遗忘在某处”。故选B。
二、阅读理解

“Autumn” afternoon
In the afternoon, the temperature goes down quickly, especially (尤其) after the sun goes down. It’s cool, just like in autumn. People have to put on warm clothes.
“Winter” night

15.细节理解题。根据“The weather there changes a lot in summer. ”可知,夏天天气经常变化。故选A。
16.词义猜测题。根据“Sometimes, it rains, but the rain doesn’t last long. If you are lucky enough, you may see rainbows. ”可知,前后句意表示转折,有时下雨,但应该下的时间不长,因此如果幸运的话能看到彩虹;由此可推断划线单词“last”的意思应是“持续”。故选B。
17.细节理解题。根据“In the afternoon, the temperature goes down quickly, especially after the sun goes down.”可知,下午气温下降很快。选项B“晚上气温下降快”是错误的。故选B。
18.细节理解题。根据“The rainy season is from June to September each year.”可知,雨季在九月结束。故选D。
19.推理判断题。文章主要介绍青藏高原的天气特点,适合为旅行者提供参考,因此最可能出自旅游指南。故选C。

语法精讲——it的用法
在英语中,it的使用相当广泛,它既可以用作代词,也可用作引导词,还可用在强调结构中.
(一)作人称代词
这时it指前面已经提到过的人或事物.
-Where is the cat?-猫在哪儿?
-It is lying under the chair.-它躺在椅子下面.
He took off the first shoe and threw it on the floor.他脱下第一只鞋子,把它扔在地板上.
I've seen the film Gone with the Wind, It is very interesting.我看过电影《飘》.这部电影很有意思.
(二)作非人称代词
1.当说话者不清楚或无必要知道说话对象的性别时,也可以用it指代.
Is it a boy or a girl?是男孩还是女孩?
There is someone knocking at the door. Who is it?有人敲门.是谁呢?
2.it除可代替事物外,还可指时间、天气、距离、重量、状况或其他情况等
It's time for class.是上课的时候了.
It's warm today.今天天气暖和.It weighs 350 pounds.重量为350磅.
3.it有时不确指
How's it going with you?你近况如何?
It was dull when Mary was away.玛丽不在,真没劲.
How is it going?情况怎么样?
4.it还可用于强调结构
英语常用的强调结构为it is(was)+被强调部分(主语、宾语或状语)+who(that)....一般说来,被强调部分指人时用who(that),指物时用that.
It is Li Lei that cleaned the classroom.是李雷打扫了教室.
It was yesterday that l bought the book.我是昨天买这本书的.
(三)作形式主语
为了避免将句中作真实主语的不定式短语、-ing分词短语和主语从句置于句首造成头重脚轻,习惯上用it作形式主语来指代后面的真实主语.
1.代替不定式短语
It is wrong to tell a lie.说谎是不对的.
It is necessary to buy that dictionary.有必要买下那本词典.
2.代替-ing分词短语
It is no use going there so early.这么早去那里没用.
It is no use learning without thinking.学而不思则罔.
3.代替主语从句
It is said that Mary is leaving for London tomorrow.据说玛丽明天要动身前往伦敦.
It is certain that we shall succeed.我们一定会成功.
(四)it常用句型
1.It + v. + to do sth.
· It takes her a week to finish reading this book.
· It cost me five hundred dollars.
2.It + be + adj.+ to do sth.

The traditional Chinese solar calendar (日历) divides the year into twenty-four solar terms (节气). Minor Snow (小雪), the 20th solar term of the year, begins on November 22 this year. Here are a few things you should know about Minor Snow. Wearing hats and scarves
In China, starting in Minor Snow, the wind blows (吹;刮) from the northeast a lot. Many people do not wear hats or scarves yet. In fact, according to an old Chinese saying, “the head is the place where all passages of the body gather”. It’s necessary (必要的) to wear hats and scarves to keep one’s head warm. Drinking soup
During Minor Snow, the air in the houses is dry and most people may find their nose and mouth feel a bit dry. This will cause (导致) “inner heat” in one’s body. The key is to drink more hot soup. Eating rice cake
In some areas of South China, people eat rice cakes around Minor Snow. In ancient times (在古代), rice cakes were a traditional festival offering (祭品) to the bull god (牛神). Making pickled (腌制) vegetables and pork
After Minor Snow, because of low temperature (温度) and dry air. It is the best time to start making preserved pork (腊肉), which by the Chinese Spring Festival would be ready to enjoy. The people in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, have welcomed Minor Snow with making pickled vegetables.
In addition (此外), we like to eat hot and spicy (辣的) food to keep warm. However, it’s not wise to eat much spicy food because that will increase inner heat. This year’s Minor Snow is coming. Wish you to be surrounded by (被……包围) a life full of warmth.
26.When does Minor Snow begin this year?
27.How do people keep head warm in Minor Snow?
28.What is the key to avoid (避免) causing “inner heat”?
