一、 考查完全倒装
所谓完全倒装即是整个谓语部分放在主语前面。关键是需要具有识别出完全倒装的能力。此部分考点主要是谓语动词的单复数形式应与真正的主语保持一致。考例:
1. At the foot of the mountain________ .(2006四川卷)
A. a village lie B. lies a village
C. does a village D. lying a village
2. In the dark forests______ , some large enough to hold severalEnglish towns. (2005辽宁卷)
A. stand many lakes B. lie many lakes
C. many lakes lie D. many lakes stand
解析: 答案为1. B。2. B。这两道题都考查了表示地点的短语放在句首,需要完全倒装。 根据主语分别是a village 和manylakes 来选择谓语动词的单复数形式。
扩展: 其它用完全倒装的情况:
1) there be 句型。
2) 句首有here, there, out, in, on, up, down, away, back, now,then等副词,且主语是名词而且谓语是不及物动词时用倒装;如果主语是人称代词时则不用倒装。例如:
Here comes the bus!
Here he comes!
二、 考查部分倒装
所谓部分倒装就是谓语中的一部分(通常是助动词,情态动词或系动词)放在主语前面,其余部分放在主语之后。命题时主要和动词时态联系在一起考查。
考点1: 否定词或带有否定意义的短语放于句首时引起部分倒装。考例:
1. I’ve tried very hard to improve my English. But by nomeans________with my progress.
A. the teacher is not satisfied
B. is the teacher not satisfied
C. the teacher is satisfied
D. is the teacher satisfied
解析: 答案为D。否定意义的短语by nomeans放在句首,句子应部分倒装。B项也是倒装,但又加了一个not,成为肯定的意思,与题意不符。
2. Never in my wildest dreams________these people who are living insuch poor conditions. (2006 安徽卷)
A. I could imagine
B. could I imagine
C. I couldn’t imagine
D. couldn’t I imagine

3. —Did Linda see the traffic accident?

A. had she gone B. she had gone
C. has she gone D. she has gone

A. Not only they brought
B. Not only did they bring
C. Not only brought they
D. Not only they did bring
解析: 答案为B。not only ... but also结构中,若not only 放于句首时,句子需部分倒装,butalso引导的句子不倒装。
6. Maybe you have been to many countries, but nowhereelse________such a beautiful palace. (2004辽宁卷)
A. can you find B. you could find

总结: 常用于倒装结构表示否定意义的单词或短语有: not, never, little, seldom, rarely,nowhere, not until, by no means, in no case, in no time, not a bit,no longer, on no condition, not only, hardly ... when, no sooner... than 等。
考点2: 句首状语若由“only +副词,only +介词短语,only +状语从句”构成,通常引起部分倒装。
1.________by keeping down costs will Power Data hold its advantageover other companies. (2006 浙江卷)
A. Only B. Just C. Still D. Yet
解析: 答案为A。由题干中的will power Data hold its advantage over othercompanies可知必须选择一个能引导倒装结构的单词。

3. Only after my friend came________ .
(2005福建卷)
A. did the computer repair
B. he repaired the computer
C. was the computer repaired
D. the computer was repaired

(2006 湖北卷)

—Yes,________yesterday. (2006福建卷)
A. So was it B. So it was
C. So it is D. So is it

A. A quiet student as he may be
B. Quiet student as he may be
C. Be a quiet student as he may
D. Quiet as he may be a student
解析: 答案为B。as意为“尽管” 时引导让步状语从句,把名词放在as之前,结构是:“名词 + as+ 主语 +系动词”;在倒装时名词前没有冠词。
2.________ , Carolina couldn’t get the door open. (2005广东卷)
A. Try as she might B. As she might try
C. She might as try D. Might she as try

总结: as 引导让步状语从句的几种句型:
1) 形容词 + as+ 主语 + 系动词
Young as he is, he knows a lot about history.
2) 过去分词+ as + 主语 + 系动词
Well-written as the book is, its author is not satisfied.
