Reading
Among the different types of bee, it is the honey bee that has most interested scientists because of the “language” they use to communicate with each other.
在不同种类的蜂中,最使科学家感兴趣的是蜜蜂,因为蜜蜂能用“语言”,来相互交际。
【点拨】…it is the honey bee that has most interested scientists…是一个由it 引导的强调句,被强调的部分是 the honey bee。如果不加以强调,则全句是:
…the honey bee has most interested scientists…
The development of the modern beehive in 1851 made it possible to design experiments to research the language of honey bees.
1851年新式蜂箱的研制,使设计实验研究蜜蜂的语言成为可能。
【点拨】 本句是一个简单句:The development… made it possible to design experiments …其中的 it是形式宾语,它所代替的真正宾语是后面的不定式短语 to design experiments。it作形式宾语的句型是:
主语 +及物动词 +it +宾语补足语 +不定式
