英语语法精讲:倒装句(在线收听

  近年来试题对倒装的考查一般结合其它语法现象和习惯句型进行。如虚拟语气中条件从句的倒装;no sooner...than,not until等引起的倒装等。

  热点之一:含有否定意义的副词放在句首引起的部分倒装
  此类副词有:not,never,seldom,hardly,rarely,little等。例如:
  Not a single word did he say at the meeting.(在会上,他什么也没说。)
  【原题重现】1.The old couple have been married for 40years and never once ____ with each other.(NMET 2003)
  A.they had quarreled
  B.they have quarreled
  C.have they quarreled
  D.had they quarreled(key:C)
  【简析】本题中关键词是never这一副词,与现在完成时态连用引起部分倒装。
  【原题重现】2.Not a single song ____ at yesterday's party.(2001上海)
  A.she sang B.sang she
  C.did she sing D.she did sing
  (key:C)
  【简析】本题是否定副词not与一般过去时态共同形成的部分倒装。
  热点之二:含有否定意义的连接词置于句首引起的部分倒装
  此类连接词有:not only...but also,neither...nor...,no sooner...than,scarcely...when,hardly...when等。请看例句:
  No sooner had she gone out than the telephone rang.(她一出门电话就响了。)
  【原题重现】3.Not only ____ interested in football but ____ beginning to show an interest in it.(2002上海春)
  A.the teacher himself is;all his students are
  B.the teacher himself is ;are all his students
  C.is the teacher himself ;are all his students
  D.is the teacher himself ;all his students are(key:D)
  【简析】包含not only...but(also)结构的句子,如果not only置于句首,not only所在句子要形成部分倒装,but(also)后面的句子不要倒装。
  热点之三:搞清so(nor ,neither)+助动词+主语与so(nor ,neither)+主语+助动词之间的区别
  前者表示重复前句部分的内容,译为“也是如此”。而后者表示对前句内容的进一步肯定或证实,译为“确实如此”。例如:
  Lily can't answer the question.Neither can I.(莉莉不能回答这个问题。我也不能。)
  Tom was late for school yesterday.So he was.(汤姆昨天上学迟到了。他确实如此。)
  【原题重现】4.—David has made great progress recently.
  —____,and ____.(1997上海)
  A.So he has;so you have
  B.So he has;so have you
  C.So has he;so have you
  D.So has he;so you have(key:B)
  【简析】前半部分意为“他的确如此”,对以上事实进一步肯定;后半部分意为“你也是如此”,属于部分倒装。
  热点之四:省略if的虚拟条件句以had /were /should开头引起的部分倒装
  这是虚拟语气中比较特殊的一种,其实质就是省略if后引起的变化。如:
  Had he worked harder,he would have got through the exams.(要是他努力学习的话,他是会通过考试的。)
  【原题重现】5.____ for the free tickets,I would not have gone to see the films so often.(1995上海)
  A.If it is not B.Were it not
  C.Had it not been
  D.If they were not(key:C)
  【简析】在虚拟语气中表达与过去事实相反的假设,主句用would have +过去分词,从句用had +过去分词,省略If后就将助动词had提前引起部分倒装。
  热点之五:not until置于句首引起后面句子的部分倒装
  not until意为“直到……才……”,位于句首时引起后面的主句倒装。如:
  Not until the teacher came did he finish his homework.(直到老师来了他才完成作业。)
  【原题重现】6.Not until all the fish died in the river ____ how serious the pollution was.(NMET1995)
  A.did the villagers realize
  B.the villagers realize
  C.the villagers did realize
  D.didn't the villagers realize(key:A)
  【简析】本题便是not until置于句首引起的部分倒装。
  热点之六:only短语置于句首引起的部分倒装
  only放在句首,修饰副词、介词短语或状语从句,常引起后面句子部分倒装。如:
  Only in this way can you learn English well.(只有通过这种方式,你才能把英语学好。)
  【原题重现】7.____ can you expect to get a pay rise.(2001春)
  A.With hard work B.Although work hard
  C.Only with hard work
  D.Now that he works hard(key:C)
  【简析】only位于句首与介词短语构成了部分倒装,其他选项均不能引起倒装。
  【原题重现】8.Only in this way ____ to make improvement in the operating system.(2003上海春)
  A.you can hope B.you did hope
  C.can you hope D.did you hope(key:C)
  【简析】本题中only置于句首修饰介词短语,引起句子部分倒装。因为句意表达的是一种条件,所以使用助动词did不合题意。
