例2:They have all got up, and _____. (1985)
[A] Jack has too[B] so has Jack[C] Jack hasn't[D] also has Jack
答案为[B]。如表示赞同别人的陈述,so后面的部分不倒装,如:Tom is a good student. So he is,and so is Dick.前半句So he is表示后者赞同前者的观点,认为Tom是个好学生,后半句and so is Dick中so后面部分倒装,表示Dick也是个好学生。
(2)当there,here,then,now等副词置于句首,且谓语动词为come,go,be等词时,句子一般全部倒装。此类倒装句旨在引起别人注意,如果主语是代词,则句子不倒装。例如:
Look! Here comes the bus.
Look! Here he comes.
(3)当out,in,away,up,into,bang等方位词和拟声词置于句首时,句子一般全部倒装。此类倒装句比正常语序的句子更生动、形象。但若主语是代词,则句子不倒装。例如:医学全在线www.med126.cn
Away flew the bird.
Out she went.
Into this category fall many of the lies told within the walls of government.
(4)省略whether的让步状语从句,常用be +主语+其他。例如:
The business of each day, selling goods or shipping them, _____ went quite smoothly. (1992)
[A] it being[B] be it[C] was it[D] it was
答案为[B]。
2.部分倒装的构成条件
(1)具有否定意义的词或短语置于句首时,句子一般要部分倒装,即将系动词、助动词或情态动词提到主语前。这类词或短语包括:not,never,seldom,hardly,rarely,scarcely,by no means,under no circumstance,in no way,at no time,no sooner ... than,hardly...when,not only ... but also...,in no sense,on no account,at no point,little,nowhere,barely,scarcely ... when/before,not until,in vain,still less等。例如:
_____ to speak when the audience interrupted him. (1991)
[A] Hardly had he begun[B] No sooner had he begun[C] Not until he began[D] Scarcely did he begin
答案为[A]。hardly ... when为固定搭配,hardly置于句首,要求部分倒装。scarcely ... when也是固定搭配,但[D] 的时态不正确。
(2)as引导的让步状语从句常用倒装。一般将一些形容词、副词等置于句首。例如:
Outstanding as she is in her field, she remains easygoing.
(3)当so,often,only等表示程度或频率的副词置于句首时,句子一般部分倒装。例如:
So involved with their computers _____ that leaders at summer computer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games. (2001)
[A] became the children[B] become the children[C] had the children become[D] do the children become
答案为[D]。由于So involved位于句首,句子采用倒装形式。因为句子的时态是一般现在时,所以要借助于助动词do来构成倒装。把这句话改成正常语序是:The children become so involved with their computers that leaders at summer computer camps often have to force them to break for sports and games. (孩子们对他们的电脑如此着迷,以至于电脑夏令营的领导不得不经常强迫他们停下来,做些体育运动和游戏。)
(4)省略if的非真实条件从句中,助动词、情态动词要提前。例如:
_____ for the timely investment from the general public, our company would not be so thriving as it is. (1998)
[A] Had it not been[B] Were it not[C] Be it not[D] Should it not
答案为[A]。if 省略,助动词提前,从句表达与过去事实相反的虚拟情况。
(四)平行结构
由not only ... but also,would rather... than...,would sooner... than...,more... than...,rather than(而不是),and,or连接的成分要求在语法形式上保持平行一致。例如:
例1:It is better to die on one's feet than _____. (1991)
[A] living on ones knees[B] live on ones knees[C] on one's knees[D] to live on one's knees
答案为[D]。to die on one's feet与to live on one's knees在语法形式上保持一致。
例2:We are taught that a business letter should be written in a formal style _____ in a personal style. (1995)
[A] rather than[B] other than[C] better than[D] less than
答案为[A]。根据句意及in a formal style与in a personal style成分一致的线索,可断定本句是想表达“应该…,而不应该…”,故只有[A] 正确。other than表示“除了…”,常用于否定句。句意:商务书信必须用正式文体而不是个人文体来写。
