It's no secret that it is one city that everyone has heard about.众所周知,这是一个人人都听说过的城市。

【点石成金】It's no secret that是个句型,表示“众所周知”的意思。that后面接主语从句。这里的it只是形式主语,真正的主语是that后面的it is one city that everyone has heard about,此句作主语从句的同时,又包含了另一个定语从句,在此定语从句中,先行词为one city,从句为that everyone has heard about。

Ⅱ.Memorize some text-centered chunks
