Answer 1

A

试题分析：句意：哎呀！我没有什么可以坦白的，你要我说什么？这里是强调句型，被强调的是what，判断强调句型的方法是把It was that去掉整个句子不缺成分，是成立的。因为这里是疑问句。故用疑问语序。
点评：本题难度适中。强调句型是高中阶段的重难点之一，它的考查往往与宾语从句放在一起，而是句子更加复杂，需要考生有分析理解句子结构的能力。
即学即练：It was not until she got home ____Jennifer realized she had lost herkeys.
A. when   B. that   C.where    D.before  
解析:B。如果去掉强调结构，该句是一个“not… until”句型：Jennifer didn’t realize she hadlost her keys until she got home. 要强调时间状语until she gothome，这时要把主句中的否定词not放在was之后。
