英語(yǔ)倒裝句的命題規(guī)律探究

1. 考查否定詞置于句首時(shí)的倒裝形式

(1) Never in my wildest dreams _______ these people are living in such poor conditions.

A. I could imagine                                     B. could I imagine

C. I couldn’t imagine                                 D. couldn’t I imagine

答案為B。當(dāng)never, seldom, hardly, little等否定副詞置于句首，其后習(xí)慣上要用倒裝語(yǔ)序，如：Never before have I met such a strange person. 以前我從未見(jiàn)過(guò)這樣古怪的人。

(2) Little _______ that we were watching his every move, so he seemed to be going his own way in this business.

A. he realized                                            B. he didn’t realize

C. didn’t he realize                                    D. did he realize

答案為D。由于little含有否定意味，所以當(dāng)它置于句首時(shí)，其后要用倒裝句式，又如：Little did they know they were to be reunited ten years later. 他們簡(jiǎn)直想不到10年后竟又能團(tuán)聚。

2. 考查否定的介詞短語(yǔ)置于句首時(shí)的倒裝形式

I’ve tried very hard to improve my English. But by no means _______ with my progress.

A. the teacher is not satisfied                      B. is the teacher not satisfied

C. the teacher is satisfied                            D. is the teacher satisfied

答案為D。當(dāng)by no means, in no case, on no condition等表示否定意義的介詞短語(yǔ)置于句首時(shí)，其后要用倒裝語(yǔ)序。

3. 考查so / neither do I類(lèi)型的倒裝形式

(1)— My room gets very cold at night.

— _______.

A. So is mine            B. So mine is            C. So does mine        D. So mine does

答案為C。so does mine在此的意思是“我的房間也一樣”。表示“……也一樣”時(shí)，so的后面要用倒裝語(yǔ)序，故可排除B和D。又因?yàn)榍懊嬉痪涞闹^語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞為實(shí)義動(dòng)詞(gets)，所以后面一句要用助動(dòng)詞do，不能用is。所以答案選C。

(2)If Joe’s wife won’t go to the party, _______.

A. he will either        B. neither will he       C. he neither will       D. either he will

答案為B。當(dāng)要表示“……也一樣不”時(shí)，neither后要接倒裝句式，故選B。注意這類(lèi)句式不能用either。

4. 考查so…that…句式的倒裝形式

(1) _______ that Maric was able to set up new branches elsewhere.

A. So successful her business was                B. So successful was her business

C. So her business was successful                D. So was her successful business

答案為B。當(dāng)so…that…句式中的so…結(jié)構(gòu)位于句首時(shí)，so…中的主謂語(yǔ)要用倒裝形式。又如：So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape. 襲擊來(lái)得非常突然，我們來(lái)不及逃跑。

(2) So difficult _______ it to work out the problem that I decided to ask Tom for advice.

A. I did find              B. did I find              C. I have found         D. have I found

答案為B。句子使用的基本句式為so…that…結(jié)構(gòu)。按英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法，當(dāng)該結(jié)構(gòu)的so…置于句首時(shí)，其后的句子(主句)要用倒裝語(yǔ)序。

5. 考查“only+狀語(yǔ)”置于句首時(shí)的倒裝形式

(1) Only then _______ how much damage had been caused.

A. she realized                                           B. she had realized

C. had she realized                                     D. did she realize

答案為D。當(dāng)“only+狀語(yǔ)”置于句首時(shí)，其后句子要用倒裝語(yǔ)序。

(2) _______ by keeping down costs will Power Data hold its advantage over other companies.

A. Only                    B. Just                      C. Still                     D. Yet

答案為A。當(dāng)“only+狀語(yǔ)”置于句首時(shí)，其后句子要用倒裝語(yǔ)序。反過(guò)來(lái)，既然后面用了倒裝語(yǔ)序，所以句首要填only。

6. 考查表語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)置于句首時(shí)的倒裝

(1) At the foot of the mountain _______.

A. a village lie           B. lies a village          C. does a village lie   D. lying a village
