在近几年的高考中倒装句一直备受出题人的喜爱，因此为了便于同学们更好地备考，我们一起来看一看重庆谢仕芳老师对倒装句的讲解。

　　请看下面几道高考题：

　　1. Not until the early years of the 19th century ________ what heat is.

　　A. man did know

　　B. man knew

　　C. didn't man know

　　D. did man know

　　由此，我们不难看出，"倒装句"已成了历届高考考查的热点。

　　"倒装句"就是为了语法结构的需要或为了强调而把谓语的一部分或全部提到主语的前面。倒装句有两种：

　　一、部分倒装

　　就是把谓语中的be动词、助动词或情态动词置于主语前面。常见于下列几种情况：

　　1. only所修饰的副词，介词短语或状语从句放在句首时。注意：only修饰主语时，不需要倒装。

　　Only in this way ________to make improvement in the operating system.

　　A. you can hope B. you did hope

　　C. can you hope D. did you hope

　　2.含有否定意义的副词或连词放在句首时。如：never, little, seldom, not, not only, not until, no sooner (…than), hardly (…when), rarely, scarcely, in no way等。

　　I finally got the work I dreamed about. Never in all my life________ so happy!

　　A. did I feel B. I felt C. I had felt D. had I felt

　　Not until I began to work________how much time I had wasted.

　　A. didn't I realize B. did I realize

　　C. I didn't realize D. I realized

　　3.在so…that, such…that句型中，若把so, such引导的结构放在句首时。

　　So difficult________it to live in an English-speaking country that I was determined to learn English well.

　　A. I've felt B. have I felt

　　C. I did feel D. did I feel

　　4.省略了if的虚拟条件句中，把were, had或should放在句首时。

　　________it rain tomorrow, we would have to put off the visit to Yangpu Bridge.

　　A. Were

　　B. Should

　　C. Would D. Will

　　5.用于形容词/副词/名词/动词+as (though)引导的让步状语从句中。注意：当表语为名词时，则名词前不加任何冠词；主谓并不倒装。

　　________, I have never seen anyone who's as capable as John.

　　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

　　6.由however, no matter how引导的让步状语从句中，把however+形容词/副词，no matter how+形容词/副词放在句首时。

　　________, mother will wait for him to have dinner together.

　　A. However late is he

　　B. However he is late

　　C. However is he late

　　D. However late he is

　　二、全部倒装

　　就是把整个谓语部分放在主语之前。注意：谓语动词的数要与后面的主语保持一致。常见于下列几种情况：

　　1.把副词so放在句首，表示前面所说的情况也适用于另一个人或物。

　　I like reading English, so does he.

　　2.把neither, nor放在句首，表示前面的否定内容也适用于另一个人或物。

　　-I don't think I can walk any further.

　　-________, let's stop here for a rest.

　　A. Neither and I

　　B. Neither can I

　　C. I don't think so

　　D. I think so

　　3.用于地点副词here, there,方位副词out, in, up, down及时间副词now, then等开头的句子里，以示强调。注意：主语为代词时，不能全部倒装。

　　There goes the bell.

　　Look! Here they come.

　　4.当表示地点的介词短语放句首时。注意：谓语多为be, lie, sit, stand, come, walk等不及物动词；倒装时不需要助动词。

　　Under the table are three white cats.

　　5.表语置于句首时，倒装结构为"表语+系动词+主语"。

　　(1)形容词+系动词+主语

　　Present at the meeting was Mr. Green, a headmaster.

　　(2)过去分词+系动词+主语

　　Hidden behind the door were some naughty children.

　　(3)介词短语+系动词+主语

　　In front of the playground is a newly-built house.

　　6.有时由于主语较长，谓语很短，为保持句子平衡，或为了强调表语或状语，或使上下文紧密衔接时。

　　They arrived at a house, in front of which sat an old man.

　　7.在一些表示祝愿的句子里。

　　Long live the Communist Party of China!
