13、e kept secret. 这里说的话都应当保密。二、由连词that引导的主语从句。其中that一般不可省略，但若用it作形式主语， that从句后置时，则可省略。为避免头重脚轻，我们倾向用it开头，后接be，seem等。如果句子是疑问形式，就只能用带it的结构。That money doesnt grow on trees should be obvious.金钱不能从树上长出来是显而易见的。It is obvious（that）money doesnt grow on trees .显而易见，金钱是不能从树上长出来的。Has it been announced when the plan

14、es are to take off？飞机什么时候起飞宣布了没有？注意：1）选用what还是用that引导主语从句要根据关联词在从句中是否担任成分而定。且what（以及whatever，whoever等）引导的主语从句一般不用it作形式主语。What he said is true.他说的是真的。（what在其引导的主语从句中作宾语。）That China is a great socialist country is well known.（=Its well known that）众所周知，中国是一个伟大的社会主义国家。（that在其引导的主语从句中不作任何成分，也无词义，只起连接作用。）

15、2）it引导的强调句与it作形式主语的复合句不可混淆。it引导的强调句是用来对句中某一成分加以强调，其结构为：“It is（或was）+强调部分+that（或who）”强调句去掉It is（或was）that（或who）框架后，剩余部分为一个完整的句子。It was I that(who) met Mary in the street yesterday.是我昨天在街上遇见了玛丽。(强调主语)3）常见的用it作形式主语的复合句结构：*It is+形容词（necessary，strange，important，wonderful，possible，likely，等）+that从句，从句中常用虚拟

16、语气。Its necessary that he write something in English.他用英语写点东西是必要的。Its strange that she did not go to school yesterday.奇怪的是她昨天没去上学。*It is+名词（a fact，a pity ，no wonder，good news，等）+that从句Its a pity that she should have said so.真遗憾她竟然会这么说。*It is+过去分词（said，reported，decided，unknown等）+that从句Its said that ou

17、r English teacher will go abroad next week.据说我们英语老师下周要去出国。*It +不及物动词（seems，appears，happens， matters等）+that从句It seems that she is in great need of help.看来她急帮忙。4）主语为从句时，一般要用单数谓语动词形式；但如果引导的从句作主语、代表复数概念（常可从表语上看出）时，谓语动词则常用复数形式：What we need is water. 我们需要的是水。What we need are useful books. 我们需要的是有用的书。三、由连接

18、代词或连接副词（或if, whether）引导的主语从句。When they will come hasnt been made public.他们什么时候回来还没有宣布。Whether Ill attend the meeting hasnt been decided.=It hasnt been decided whether(if) Ill attend the meeting.我是否参加会议还未决定。4Closing down by doing an quiz1.
