英語中的倒裝句指的是主語、謂語位置顛倒的情況,根據(jù)其倒裝形式又可分為部分倒裝和全部倒裝兩種形式。在歷年的高考中,倒裝句都是其考查的重點,本文通過對高考倒裝句考點的歸納和試題的解析,以便同學們能夠更好的備考2007年高考。
考點一.強調(diào)否定狀語的倒裝句。即將含有否定意義的副詞或連詞置于句首引起的部分倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。這類狀語有:never, seldom, rarely, little, few, at no time, by no means, no longer, hardly/scarcely….when…, no sooner…than…, not only…but also…, not until, nowhere, neither…nor…等。
例1. I’ve tried very hard to improve my English. But by no means____ with my progress. (06年重慶卷)
A. the teacher is not satisfied B. is the teacher not satisfied
C. the teacher is satisfied D. is the teacher satisfied
解析:by no means意思是“決不,在任何情況下都不”,放在句首,句子要用部分倒裝。故正確答案為D。
例2.──Did Linda see the traffic accident?
──No, no sooner____ than it happened.(06年天津卷)
A. had she gong B. she had gone C. has she gone D. she has gone
解析:no sooner……than意為“一……就……”,no sooner所在的主句常用過去完成時,that引導的從句用一般過去時,no表示否定意義。故正確答案為A。
注意:not only…but(also)…連接兩個并列分句且包含否定意義的not only放于句首時,not only后的分句要進行部分倒裝, but (also)后的分句不進行倒裝。
例3. Not only____ interested in football but ____ beginning to show an interest in it. (02年上海卷)
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
解析:not only位于句首,其后句子用部分倒裝的形式,而but also后的句子語序不倒裝。故正確答案為D。
考點二. Only+狀語/狀語從句置于句首時,主句要進行部分倒裝。
例4. Only then____ how much damage had been caused? (06年陜西卷)
A. she realized B. she had realized
C. had she realized D. did she realize
解析:only位于句首修飾狀語then,全句要進行部分倒裝, 由then又知道此時時態(tài)應用一般過去時態(tài)。故正確答案為D。
考點三.作狀語的介詞短語放于句首時引起的句子要全部倒裝。有時為了強調(diào)將作狀語的介詞短語放在句首,而將主語放到句末;或者當句子中主語較長時,為了使句子平衡,常以作狀語的介詞短語開頭。
例5. At the foot of the mountain____.(06年四川卷)
A. a village lie B. lies a village
C. does a village lie D. lying a village
解析:介詞短語at the foot of the mountain位于句首,句子用全部倒裝,其時態(tài)應為一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。故正確答案為B。
例6. Just in front of our house____ with a history of 1,000 years. (06年上海卷)
A. does a tall tree stand B. stands a tall tree
C. a tall tree is standing D. a tall tree stands
解析:介詞短語位于句首,句子用全部倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。故正確答案為B。
考點四. so/such…that…結(jié)構(gòu)中的so, such連同它所修飾的成分共同位于句首表示強調(diào)時,主句要進行部分倒裝。
例7. So difficult____ it to work out the problem that I decided to ask Tom for advice. (06年廣東卷)
A. I did find B. did I find C. I have found D. have I found
解析: so位于句首且so修飾difficult,主句部分進行部分倒裝,整句為一般過去時態(tài)。故正確答案為B。
考點五. so/neither/nor表示前面所說的情況也適合于后者時用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)“so/neither/nor+助動詞/系動詞/情態(tài)動詞+主語”(so表示肯定意義,neither/nor表示否定意義)的形式。
例8. ──It’s burning hot today, isn’t it?
──Yes. ____ yesterday. (06年福建卷)
A. So was it B. So it was C. So it is D. So is it
解析: so在這里表示昨天的天氣情況也跟今天的一樣。故正確答案為A。
例9. —I would never come to this restaurant again. The food is terrible.
— ____. (04年全國卷Ⅲ)
A. Nor am I B. Neither would I C. Same with me D. So do I
解析:前句表示否定,則后句也應表示否定,根據(jù)上一句的情態(tài)動詞,第二句中也應該用情態(tài)動詞would。故正確答案為B。
但是,如果so表示強調(diào),即強調(diào)前面所說的情況的真實性時,其結(jié)構(gòu)則是“so+主語+助動詞/系動詞/情態(tài)動詞”的形式,這里的主語同前一個句子的主語指的是同一人或物。如:
例10. ──Well,I do think the rabbit is a beautiful, gentle animal which can run very fast. (05年遼寧卷)
──_____.
A. So it is B. So is it C. So does it D. So it does
解析:肯定前一句話中的賓語從句“the rabbit is a beautiful, gentle animal”, so引導的句子不進行倒裝,而且so引導的句子中謂語動詞要與該賓語從句中的謂語動詞相一致。故正確答案為A。
考點六. As/though引導的讓步狀語從句要用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。即as / though引導的讓步從句中必須將表語或狀語提前(形容詞、副詞、分詞、實義動詞提前),構(gòu)成“形容詞/副詞/名詞/動詞/分詞+as/though+主語+謂語的其它部分”的形式。
例11.______, he talks a lot about his favorites singers after class.(05年重慶卷)
A. A quiet student as he may be B. Quiet student as he may be
C. Be a quiet student as he may be D. Quiet as he may be a student
解析:整個表語部分quiet student提在as之前
并且名詞student前的冠詞a要省略。故正確答案為B。
例12. ______, I have never seen anyone who’s as capable as John.(01年上海卷)
A. As long as I have traveled B. Now that I have traveled so much
C. Much as I have traveled D. As I have traveled so much
解析:本題中從句與主句之間存在明顯的讓步關(guān)系,故需要選擇由as引導的讓步狀語從句,并且要將副詞much提前進行倒裝。故正確答案為C。
使用as/though進行倒裝時需要注意的是:
①句首有名詞時,名詞不能帶任何冠詞。
②句首是實義動詞時,其他助動詞則放在主語之后。如果實義動詞有賓語和狀語,則賓語和狀語隨實義動詞一起放在主語之前。如:
Try hard as he will, he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.
雖然他盡了努力,但他的工作總做的不盡人意。
考點七.非真實條件句中的倒裝。即在非真實條件句中含有were, had, should等助動詞時,可以將if省略,把助動詞放在非真實條件句的句首的倒裝形式。
例13._______ fired, your health care and other benefits will not be immediately cut off.(06年湖北卷)
A. Would you be B. Should you be C. Could you be D. Might you be
解析:該句中條件句為非真實條件句,省略if且表示與將來事實相反。故正確答案為B。
例14. ______ for the free ticket, I would not have gone to see the film.(95年上海卷)
A. If it is not B. Were it not C. Had it not been D. If they were not
解析:該條件句中省略if,且表達與過去事實相反。故正確答案為C。
由高考考點的穩(wěn)定性可知,只要我們掌握了倒裝句這六種重要的考查形式,熟悉其解題規(guī)律,就能夠在復習時極大的提高復習效率。
