语法模块
内容
结构 / 规则
典型例句及翻译
句型一 It is/was + adj. (+for/of sb) + to do
基本结构
it 作形式主语置于句首,真正主语是句末的不定式 to do sth,避免头重脚轻
It is important to learn English well.
for sb 用法
形容词描述事情的难度/价值/必要性(possible, necessary, difficult, convenient)时,用 for sb
It is necessary for us to save water.
of sb 用法
形容词描述人的性格/品质(wise, polite, kind, careless, selfish)时,用 of sb;判断:把 sb 提前成 sb + be + adj 通顺即用 of
It is kind of you to help me.
时态区分
现在常态用 It is…;过去已发生用 It was…
It was rude of him to leave without a word.
常见形容词
for 类:important, necessary, difficult, easy, possible, convenient;of 类:kind, wise, polite, clever, careless, selfish, brave
It is clever of her to work out the problem.
句型二 It is/was + adj. + that 主语从句
基本结构
it 形式主语,真正主语是 that 引导的完整陈述句;that 仅起连接作用,不作成分、不可省略
It is common that students take after-school classes.
常用形容词
obvious(明显的)、unbelievable(难以置信的)、common(普遍的)、moving(感人的)、strange(奇怪的)、important、necessary
It is obvious that reading can open up our eyes.
固定句式
It is said / reported / believed that… 表示“据说/据报道/人们认为……”
It is said that a new library will open next month.
时态区分
现在 It is + adj. + that…;过去 It was + adj. + that…
It was unbelievable that he finished it overnight.
易错点
that 不可换 which/what;that 后须接完整句子(主 + 谓);不可漏掉 that
It is important that everyone follow the rules.
使用注意事项
1. it 作形式主语时,真正主语是不定式(to do)或 that 引导的从句,放在句末;it 不能换成 this / that / there。
2. for 与 of 的选择:形容词修饰“事”(important, necessary, difficult, possible 等)用 for;修饰“人”的性格品质(kind, wise, polite, careless, brave 等)用 of。判断口诀:把 sb 提前成 “sb + be + 形容词” 通顺即用 of。
3. of 类与 for 类形容词要熟记:of 类多表人的品格(kind, wise, polite, clever, careless, selfish, brave, patient);for 类多表事情特征(important, necessary, difficult, easy, possible, convenient)。
4. that 主语从句中,that 只起连接作用,不作任何成分,也不可省略,其后须接一个完整的句子(主语 + 谓语)。
5. 固定句式 It is said / reported / believed that… 表示“据说/据报道/人们认为……”,是中考高频考点,that 从句用陈述语序。
6. 时态区分:描述现在常态用 It is…,描述过去已发生的事用 It was…;注意 for/of 与 to do 搭配时,to 不能漏写。

7. deeply 8. has changed 9. To understand 10. valuable
【导语】本文介绍了美国作家赛珍珠(Pearl S. Buck)及其代表作《大地》。文章阐述了她作为中西方文化交流桥梁的重要性,指出她通过深入中国日常生活,向西方世界展示了真实、温暖的中国农民形象。尽管当今中国已发生巨大变化,但赛珍珠作品中体现的基于共同情感的理解依然具有宝贵的价值。
【详解】1. 句意:即使在今天,她仍被认为是撰写关于中国题材的最重要的西方人之一。主语she与动词consider之间是被动关系,且时间状语Even today暗示这是一种持续至今的状态或普遍认知,应用一般现在时的被动语态“is + 过去分词”。consider的过去分词为considered,故填is considered。

6. 句意:巴克的重要性在于她是如何了解不同文化的。介词in后接宾语从句,从句中缺少方式状语,表示“如何”,故填连接副词how。
7. 句意:这帮助她深刻地理解了他们的生活。修饰动词understand,需用副词形式。“deep”的副词形式为deeply,意为“深刻地”。
8. 句意:然而,如今中国已经发生了巨大的变化,并与世界更加紧密地联系在一起。根据时间状语today及语境(强调变化对现在的影响)可知,句子应用现在完成时。主语China是第三人称单数,助动词用has,change的过去分词为changed,故填has changed。
9. 句意:要了解现代中国,仅阅读巴克的书籍是不够的。此处表示目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语,位于句首,首字母大写,故填To understand。
10. 句意:然而,像巴克那样通过人们共同的情感去看待他人,仍然是有价值的。“It is + adj. + to do sth.”是固定句型,此处需用形容词作表语。“value”的形容词形式为valuable,意为“有价值的”。

表格梳理了 It is/was + 形容词 + (for/of sb) + to do 与 It is/was + 形容词 + that 主语从句两大基本句型,重点区分 for 与 of 的选用技巧、that 从句的连接作用与固定句式,帮助准确运用形式主语 it。
语法模块
内容
结构 / 规则
典型例句及翻译
句型一 It is/was + adj. (+for/of sb) + to do
基本结构
it 作形式主语置于句首,真正主语是句末的不定式 to do sth,避免头重脚轻
It is important to learn English well.
for sb 用法
形容词描述事情的难度/价值/必要性(possible, necessary, difficult, convenient)时,用 for sb
It is necessary for us to save water.
of sb 用法
形容词描述人的性格/品质(wise, polite, kind, careless, selfish)时,用 of sb;判断:把 sb 提前成 sb + be + adj 通顺即用 of
It is kind of you to help me.
时态区分
现在常态用 It is…;过去已发生用 It was…
It was rude of him to leave without a word.
常见形容词
for 类:important, necessary, difficult, easy, possible, convenient;of 类:kind, wise, polite, clever, careless, selfish, brave
It is clever of her to work out the problem.
句型二 It is/was + adj. + that 主语从句
基本结构
it 形式主语,真正主语是 that 引导的完整陈述句;that 仅起连接作用,不作成分、不可省略
It is common that students take after-school classes.
常用形容词
obvious(明显的)、unbelievable(难以置信的)、common(普遍的)、moving(感人的)、strange(奇怪的)、important、necessary
It is obvious that reading can open up our eyes.
固定句式
It is said / reported / believed that… 表示“据说/据报道/人们认为……”
It is said that a new library will open next month.
时态区分

It was unbelievable that he finished it overnight.
易错点
that 不可换 which/what;that 后须接完整句子(主 + 谓);不可漏掉 that
It is important that everyone follow the rules.
使用注意事项
1. it 作形式主语时,真正主语是不定式(to do)或 that 引导的从句,放在句末;it 不能换成 this / that / there。
2. for 与 of 的选择:形容词修饰“事”(important, necessary, difficult, possible 等)用 for;修饰“人”的性格品质(kind, wise, polite, careless, brave 等)用 of。判断口诀:把 sb 提前成 “sb + be + 形容词” 通顺即用 of。
3. of 类与 for 类形容词要熟记:of 类多表人的品格(kind, wise, polite, clever, careless, selfish, brave, patient);for 类多表事情特征(important, necessary, difficult, easy, possible, convenient)。
4. that 主语从句中,that 只起连接作用,不作任何成分,也不可省略,其后须接一个完整的句子(主语 + 谓语)。
5. 固定句式 It is said / reported / believed that… 表示“据说/据报道/人们认为……”,是中考高频考点,that 从句用陈述语序。
6. 时态区分:描述现在常态用 It is…,描述过去已发生的事用 It was…;注意 for/of 与 to do 搭配时,to 不能漏写。
