[答]这是一个主语从句, “it”在这个句中只是形式上的主语,真正的主语是that 引导的从句,为了使整个句子保持平衡,避免头重脚轻,我们需要用it 作形式主语,而将that 引导的从句作主语放在句末,由于主语大多由名词充当,因而主语从句也是名词性从句的一种,其结构为:It + is + adj. + that从句
例如:It is known to all that light travels in straight lines.众所周知,光线直线运行。
名题解析:_____ is a fact that English is being accepted as an international language.(95年高考题 )
A. There B. This C. That D. It
