It was the middle of the night_____ my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game.
A. that B. as C. which D. when.
答案选D.
有人提出疑问:the middle of the night可以不可以直接当时间状语,相当于in the middle of the night省略掉in, 然后把这个句子当强调句而选A呢?
the middle of the night不可以直接作状语。若加上介词in,则答案可选A。
这也并不是说名词短语作状语必须加介词。《牛津英语用法指南》指出:在以 next, last, this, that(有时候), one, every, each, some, any(在非正式文体中), all等词开头的一些表示时间的常用表达方式前面,不用介词。例如:
See you next Monday. 下星期一见。(不能说 … on next Monday)
The meeting’s this Thursday. 会议定在这个星期四开。
We met one Tuesday in August. 八月份的某个星期二我们见了面。
I’ll never forget meeting you that afternoon. 我永远不会忘记那天下午我见到你的情形。
Come any day you like. 你喜欢那天来就哪天来。
The party lasted all night. 聚会持续了整整一夜。
▲ tomorrow morning, yesterday afternoon, the day after tomorrow, the day before yesterday, the night before last, the other day 等常用的时间状语,其前也都不用介词。

【答】答案只能选D.(when my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game 是时间状语从句,when 后面不能有标点符号;主句中的 It 是代词,表示时间,was 是系动词, the middle of the night 是名词短语作表语。)
in the middle of the night 作时间状语使用时,不能省略 in。所以,不能把这个句子当强调句而选A。
