1、【陷阱】此题容易误选D，认为强调的是原因状语从句 because we were late.

【分析】但实际上，此题的答案为B，强调的是句子主语 our being late，此题若还原成非强调句，即为：

Our being late caused him to serve dinner an hour later than usual.

注意，强调句的一个显著特点是，若去掉强调结构 it i s [was]… that…，句子仍然成立；换句话说，该结构中的 that 不能充当句子成分。

2、【陷阱】几个干扰项均可能误选。

【分析】答案选A，为强调句的特殊疑问句形式，其相应的陈述句形式为：

It was totally by chance that they discovered the entrance to the underground palace.

比较以下各题，它们也属强调句的特殊疑问句形式：

Cc

3、bcc

4、【陷阱】很可能误选C，认为这是一个强调句，强调地点状语 in the hall.

【分析】假若选C，即有 It was in the hall that the students often have a meeting，
