主语从句
一、概念
主语从句：在复合句中作主句的主语
例如：
That she was chsen made us very happy. 她当选了使我们很高兴。
What caused the accident is a cmplete mystery. 是什么导致了这次事故还完全是一个谜。
Whether she will cme r nt is still a questin. 她是否来还是一个问题。
Which team will win the match is still unknwn. 哪个队会赢得这场比赛还不知道。
Whever cmes t the party will receive a present. 参加聚会的每一个人都将收到一份礼物。
When they will start has nt been decided yet. 他们何时出发还没决定。
注意：上述例句中的主语从句都是放在句首，但有时为了使句子结构平衡，避免“头重脚轻”，常用it作形式主语，而把从句放在后面。例如：
It is a pity that she has made such a mistake. 她犯了这样一个错误,真是遗憾。
It depends n the climate whether they are ging shpping tday. 他们是否今天去购物还得看天气情况。
二、常用句型
1. It is + adj. / n. +从句
It is a pity/shame that... 遗憾的是……
It is pssible that... 很可能……
It is unlikely that... 不可能……
2. It +不及物动词+从句
It seems/appears that... 似乎……
It happened that... 碰巧……
3. It + be +过去分词+从句
It is said that... 据说……
It is knwn t all that... 众所周知……
It is reprted that... 据报道……
It is believed that... 据信……；人们相信……
It is suggested that... 有人建议……
It must be pinted ut that... 必须指出……
It has been prved that... 已证明……
例如：
It is believed that at least a scre f buildings were damaged r destryed.
据信，至少有二十座楼房遭到破坏或彻底毁掉。
It is suggested that the meeting shuld be put ff.有人建议会议延期召开。
It’s reprted that three peple were killed in the accident and five were hurt badly.
据报道，事故中三人丧生，五人重伤。
It is knwn t all that Taiwan is an inseparable part f China.
众所周知，台湾是中国不可分割的一部分。
三、引导词
1. 引导词that和what
what在从句中作句子成分(主语、宾语、表语等)。常译成"所……的(东西、事情、话等.)"；
that只起连接作用，本身无实际意义，在从句中也不担当任何句子成分.但that引导的主语从句放在句首时，不能省略that。
例如：
What is dne can’t be undne. (谚语)已成定局，无可挽回。
What we can’t get seems better than what we have. 我们得不到的东西似乎比已得到的要好。
That we shuld wrk ut a plan t deal with the present serius situatin is imprtant.
我们应该制定一项计划来应付目前严峻的形势，这一点非常重要。
That a new teacher will cme t teach us gegraphy is true. 一位新老师将来教我们地理，这是真的。
2. 引导词if和whether
if和whether引导动词后的宾语从句时一般可通用，但介词后的宾语从句、主语从句(放在句首时)、表语从句常由whether引导。例如：
Whether she will g hme r nt is unknwn. 她是否回家还不得而知。
Whether we shall raise ducks r geese remains t be decided. 我们是养鸭还是养鹅仍没决定。
=It remains t be decided whether/if we shall raise ducks r geese.
但我们不能说If we shall raise ducks r geese remains t be decided.
3. 连接代词和连接副词
连接代词wh, which, whm, whse有各自的意义，起连接作用，并在从句中充当语、宾语、表语、定语等；连接副词when, where, why, hw等有各自的意义，起连接作用，并在从句中充当状语。
It is clear wh is afraid f having a change in land wnership.
It is nt yet decided which cash crp will be prduced next year.
When we’ll start tmrrw will be tld sn.
Where we can buy xen is smething we need t find ut.
四、以it作形式主语的主语从句与强调句型的区别
It be + adj./n. + that从句与强调句型均有It 之类的语言标志，但不同的是：
前者中的that从句是主语从句。若删掉其中的It be和that，则剩余部分不论结构还是语意都不能成为一个句子；但若将后者中的It be和that去掉，则剩余部分的结构和语意仍能构成一个完整的句子。
It is surprising that Mary shuld have wn first place. 令人惊奇的是玛莉竟然获得了第一名。
It is Mary that has wn first place. 正是玛莉得了第一名。
第一句话中的It是形式主语,that引导的是主语从句。句中的It is和that无法删除，一旦删除句子就不成立。
第二句是强调句型，其中的It is和that可以去掉，因为没有It is和that句子仍然很通顺。

一、1. D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，家长、老师和其他高成就的同龄人会让我们相信，如果我们希望保持竞争力，我们必须是完美的。才能有这些巨大的成就，但它们值得学生以牺牲睡眠作代价吗？由此可推断出，追求完美会让学生睡眠不足，这自然会影响学生的身体健康。分析选项可知D项（追求完美的愿望可能会使许多学生以健康为代价）符合题意，故选D。
2. C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的最后一句Feeding n ur thirst fr perfectin, sme cllege and career industries have been set up claiming t help us reach ur gals.（为了满足我们对完美的渴望，建立起来一些大学和职业，它们声称可帮助我们达到目标）。由此可推断，一些人在我们对完美的追求中获取利益。分析选项可知C项符合题意，故选C。
