定语从句中的介词或介词短语可以提到引导词which, whom的前面。

2. There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer and that it is human activity

that has caused this global warming rather than a random but natural phenomenon. There

is no doubt that….

There is some doubt whether….

辨析:主句为肯定句时,doubt后使用连词whether。主句为否定句时,doubt后则使用连词that。[考点1] There is no doubt that ...是固定句型,意为“毫无疑问……”,that引导的是同位语从

句,用来进一步补充说明doubt的具体内容。

[考例] Some researchers believe that there is no doubt ______ a cure for AIDS will

be found. (广东2005

A. which

B. that

C. what

D. whether

[点拨] 根据固定搭配there is no doubt that ...可知选B。

[考点2] it is ... that ...在此句中构成强调句型,强调的是主语human activity。强调句型除谓语不能强调外,可强调主语、宾语或状语。

[考例1] It is not who is right but what is right ______ is of importance. (重庆2007

A. which B. it C. that D. this

[点拨] 根据强调句型的判断方法:将it is和that去掉后,此句成为Not who is

right but what is right is of importance,是一个完整的句子,故此题是一个强调句型。

3. It was a scientist called Charles Keeling who made accurate measurements of the

amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997.

[翻译] 是一位名叫查尔斯·奎林的科学家把1957至1997年期间大气层中二氧化碳的含量作了精确的统计。

[点拨] 该句是一个it was ... who强调句。a scientist called Charles Keeling是被强调部分,其中called Charles Keeling为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰a scientist。

4. On the other hand, there are those, like George Hambley, who are opposed to this

view, believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. [翻
