特殊句式(省略，倒装，强调)
1．________ a strange plant! I've never seen it before.
A．Which
B．What
C．How
D．Whether
解析：考查感叹句。句意：多么奇怪的植物啊！我以前从没见过。此处为“What＋a/an ＋adj. ＋ n. ＋it is/was”的省略结构，故B项正确。
答案：BUnder no circumstances ________ my bike tomorrow.
A．he is borrowing B．is he to borrow
C．he will borrow
D．could he be borrowing
under no circumstances 放在句首的时候，后面用部分倒装。根据后面的时间状语tomorrow，可以知道选B项。
答案：B
3．Such________the facts；no one can deny them.
A．is
B．are
C．was
D．were
解析 句意：事实就是这样；没有人能够否认它们。此句型是倒装语序，such为表语，所以such后的be动词应与其后的主语the facts保持一致，故用复数。又因后半句为一般现在时，故排除D项。
答案 B
．Not until the train pulled into the next station ________ her suitcase gone.
A．Mary had found
B．had Mary found
C．did Mary find
D．Mary found
解析：考查部分倒装。否定短语“not until”放在句首时，句子要采用部分倒装，故排除A、D两项；“find her suitcase gone”发生在“the train pulled into the next station”之前，应用过去式，故C项正确。句意：直到火车驶进下一站，玛丽才发现她的手提箱不见了。
答案：C
Every evening after dinner, if not ________ from work, We will spend some time walking with our parents.
A．being tired
B．tiring
Ctired
D．to be tired
“if not tired from work”实际上是“if we are not tired from work”的省略，为了避免与后句的重复，而tiring的主语是物。
答案：C
6．________， his idea was accepted by all the people at the meeting.
A．Strange as might it soundB．As it might sound strange
C．As strange it might soundD．Strange as it might sound
解析 句意：虽然他的主意听起来很怪，但参加本次会议的所有人却都同意他的主意。as引导让步状语从句时，从句要用倒装语序，其结构为：adj./adv./n.＋as＋主语＋句子其他部分。因此D项正确。
答案 D
________ she is not so cheerful.
________ she used to be?
A．How is it that；as
B．Why is it thatwhat
C．Is it why；that
D．How it if thatas
解析：考查强调句和状语从句。第一空是强调句的特殊疑问句部分；第二空为not so(as)．..as固定句式。根据第二空的搭配可排除B、C两项；根据句意可知A项正确。句意为：她怎么不像以前那样高兴了？
答案：A
8．—I don't know ________ makes her different from others.
—Honesty, I think.
A．how is it that
B．how it is that
Cwhat is it that
D．what it is that
what it is that makes her different from others是know的宾语从句，因此要用陈述语序。从句是一个强调句，被强调部分是主语what。
答案：D
9．He________to see you, but you were out.
A．didn't come
B．does come
C．did come
D．doesn't come
解析 句意：他上周日的确来看过你，但是你出去了。根据but可知，前后表示转折含义，故排除A、D两项。此题表示强调谓语，再依据but后面的时态可知，应填did come。
答案 C
—________ made Daisy wild with joy?
—Her success in the Alevel exam this year.
A．How was it that
B．When was it that
CWhy was it that
D．What was it that
be＋it＋that，根据语意，此处表示“什么东西让Daisy欣喜若狂？”强调what，故选D项。
答案：D
11．—Will the Smiths leave for Australia this winter?
—No, they finally decided________.
A．not to be leaving
B．to not leave
C．not to
D．not leaving
解析 考查不定式的省略。不定式的省略通常省去动词或短语，保留不定式符号to。答句的完整形式为：No, they finally decided not to leave for Australia this winter.。
答案 C
1They landed safely on the island in the Pacific. Everything went on better than ________.
A．expected
B．expecting
Cexpectation
D．to expect
than expected看成是that it was expected的省略。better than expected为习惯用法，表示“比预期的好”。
答案：A
13．Mary was only too ready to help others, seldom, ________，refusing them when they turned to him.
A．if never
B．if not
Cif any
D．if ever
if ever“很少，难得”，符句意。
答案：D
14．________ the instructions on the packet when you take the drug and the drug, I think, will work soon.
A．Follow
B．To follow
CFollowing
D．Followed
when引导的状语从句。I think为插入语。此句实际上是“祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句”结构。祈使句中要用动词原形。
答案：A
15．_______ and the problem could be settled.
A．A bit more effort
B．To make more effort
C．Making more effort
D．If you make more effort
解析：考查句式。句中有并列连词and，因此前面应该为祈使句。考查了“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”的句式。
答案：A
