C.did they actually break D.they had actually broken 【答案】C
【解析】考查倒装。否定介词短语位于句首,用部分倒装。根据后面“it was unfair to punish them”中谓语是过去时,所以选C而不选B。
【名师点睛】含有否定意义的词never,seldom,little. hardly,not,scarcely,nowhere,by no means(决不)等置于句首时,用部分倒装。即只把谓语的一部分(如助动词、情态动词等)放到主语前,或把句子的强调成分提前。
8. [2013·湖南卷] Not once ________ to Michael that he could one day become a top student in his class.
A. occurred it B. it did occur occur 【答案】D
【解析】考查倒装。句意:迈克尔从来没有想到过有一天自己会成为班上的优秀学生之一。否定词not once置于句首,引起部分倒装。
【名师点睛】部分倒装中考查较多的有:(1) 含有否定意义的词never,seldom,little. hardly,not,scarcely,nowhere,by no means(决不)等置于句首时。(2)以only修饰作为状语的副词、介词短语或从句,且放在句首时。 注意:only 修饰状语从句放在句首时,状语从句不需要倒装,只能倒装主句部分。
9. [2013·江苏] “Never for a second,” the boy says, “________that my father would come to my rescue.”
A.I doubted B.do I doubt C.I have doubted D.did I doubt 【答案】D
C. it occurred
D. did it
【名师点睛】这题考查的是部分倒装。如果含有否定意义的词never,seldom,little. hardly,not,scarcely,nowhere,by no means(决不)等置于句首时,句子用部分倒装,将be动词,助动词,情态动词放在主语前面。要识别哪些词是否定词。
10. [2013·湖南卷] Every day ________ a proverb aloud several times until you have
it memorized.
A. read
B. reading
C. to read
D. reads
【答案】A 考查祈使句。句意:每天都要几次大声朗读一句谚语,直到你记住为止。连词until引导时间状语从句,前面为主句,其主语实际上是you。不要被时间状语every day所迷惑。
【名师点睛】分析句子可知这里没有主语,填动词的形式,很显然是祈使句的句型,用动词原形,其他选项都是非谓语动词,如果用非谓语动词,这句话缺少谓语是不能构成一个独立的句子的。
11. [2013·福建卷] Not until he went through real hardship ________the love we have for our families is important.
A. had he realized B. did he realize C. he realized D. he had realized 【答案】B
【解析】考查倒装。not until或其他否定词或词组放在句首时,主句动词均用部分倒装结构。本句意为:直到他经历了真正的苦难后,他才意识到我们对家庭的爱是多么重要。过去完成时表示该动作(realize)先于从句的动作(went through),不合语境,故用一般过去时。 【名师点睛】部分倒装即只把谓语的一部分(如助动词、情态动词等)放到主语前,或把句子的强调成分提前。1) 以否定词开头的句子要求部分倒装。注意下列句子中助动词或情态动词提前、甚至补充助动词的用法: 2) 以否定副词开头并加状语放在句首的句子要求部分倒装。这些否定副词有barely, hardly, little, seldom, scarcely…… when, never, no sooner…… than, rarely, no more, not nearly, not only等3)一些如scarcely……when, no sooner ……than, hardly……when引导的主从复合句主句要求使用过去完成式。注意:在部分倒装句中,只有助动词、情态动词或连系动词to be可以置于主语之前,其它部分都要置于主语之后。
12. [2013·安徽卷] It's said that the power plant is now ________large as what it was.
A.twice as B.as twice C.twice much D.much twice 【答案】A
【名师点睛】倍数表达要牢记,倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点,也是历届高考的热点。当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时,通常用句型来表示: “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”,表示“A比B大(长、高、宽等)多少倍”。2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。 3. “A+倍数+the size /height /length /width,+of+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。4.“……times+what+从句”。 13. [2013·安徽卷] If parents have children help with housework, the children will feel needed.________,they will learn to take care of themselves.
A.On the contrary B.In a word C.That is to say D.What's more 【答案】D
【名师点睛】这几个都是常考的短语。在句子中间做插入语。首先要理解每个词组的含义。做题的时候要弄懂句意和上下文的逻辑关系,进行判断。关键是学生平时要特别注意这方面的积累。
