一、倒装场合实在多,有些考生没见过

　　难点介绍:

　　能够使用倒装句型的场合很多,大多数场合比较常见,考生不易失分,如little, seldom, hardly, never等半否定副词;not until / only / not only...but also... / so, neither, nor / hardly...when, no sooner... than等置于句首构成的倒装句是大多数考生都能得分的倒装句场合,但有些场合出现频率较低,考生对此不太熟悉,容易造成失分,如so...that...引导的结果状语从句置于句首构成的倒装句,not a +名词置于句首构成的倒装句等。

　　题例分析:

　　例1:So difficult ________ it to live in an English-speaking country that I determined to learn English well.

　　A. I have feltB. have I felt

　　C. I did feelD. did I feel

　　析:D。 so...that...引导结果状语从句且置于句首时应采用倒装句式,但有些考生对此缺乏了解,难免造成失分。

　　例2:Not a single song ________ at yesterday’s party.

　　A. she sangB. sang she

　　C. did she singD. she did sing

　　析:C。 Not a+名词置于句首时应采用倒装句式,但不少考生平时复习时没见过这种题型,结果也容易造成失分。

　　应对方法:考生在平时的学习过程中一定要将应使用倒装句的场合进行分类汇总,并一一加以识记。同时也应明白增强倒装意识也能提高解题正确率,当四个备选答案语序各不相同时,应高度警惕其是否考查倒装句型,并最终作出正确判断。

　　二、倒装方式多而杂,难怪考生会考砸

　　难点介绍:

　　倒装方式很多,有直接将动词提前的完全倒装句型,有在句首使用助动词的不完全倒装句型,还有形式各异的特殊倒装句型,纷繁复杂的倒装句式使部分考生眼花缭乱,最终莫衷一是,乱选一气。

　　题例分析:

　　例1:________, 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

　　析:C。 as表“尽管”引导让步状语从句时须采用倒装句式,将表语、动词、副词提至句首而将as紧随其后,这种倒装句形式新颖复杂,容易造成失分。

　　例2:What would have happened ________, as far as the river bank?

　　A. Bob had walked farther

　　B. if Bob should walk farther

　　C. had Bob walked farther

　　D. if Bob walked farther

　　析:C。 当if引导的虚拟条件从句的谓语动词含有were, had, could, should等词时,可将这些词提至句首,而将if省去,从而构成倒装句式,这种句式的使用范围和表达形式都很复杂,能力不强的考生很难过关。

　　应对方法:考生应熟练掌握各种倒装句式并增强其使用意识。

　　三、陷阱试题难度大,稍有不慎把分失

　　难点介绍:

　　名词性从句、感叹句、 however引导的让步状语从句因由特殊疑问词转变而来的连词引导,易被考生误认为是倒装句型。

　　题例分析:

　　例1:________ , Mother will wait for him to have dinner together.

　　A. However late is heB. However he is late

　　C. However is he lateD. However late he is

　　析:D 。分析语境逻辑和句子结构可知,however引导的是让步状语从句而不是特殊疑问句,应用陈述语序而不用疑问式倒装语序。

　　例2:________ from Beijing to London!

　　A. How long way it isB. What a long way is it

　　C. How long way is itD. What a long way it is

　　析:D。分析语境逻辑和句子结构不难发现,what引导感叹句而非特殊疑问句,应用陈述语序而不用疑问式倒装语序。

　　例3:No one can be sure ________ in a million years.

　　A. what man will look like

　　B. what will man look like

　　C. man will look like what

　　D. what look will man like

　　析:A。由语境含义和句子结构可知,what 引导宾语从句而非特殊疑问句,应用陈述语序而不用疑问式倒装语序。

　　应对方法:牢记名词性从句、感叹句、however引导的让步状语从句不使用疑问式倒装语序而使用陈述语序,并针对自己平时的出错情况,增强错误防范意识。
