【热点难点全析】
倒装
英语句子的自然语序是主语在前，谓语动词在后。把谓语动词提前，就叫倒装。如果把全部谓语放在主语之前，叫全部倒装；如果只把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前就叫部分倒装。倒装结构通常用于下列场合：
I. 全部倒装
1. 用于there be句型。例如：
There are many students in the classroom.
2. 用于“here（there，now，then）+不及物动词+主语”的句型中，或以out，in，up，down，away等副词开头的句子里，以表示强调。例如：
① Here comes the bus.
② There goes the bell.
③ Now comes your turn.
④ Out went the children.
注意：代词作主语时，主谓语序不变。例如：
⑤ Here it is
⑥ Here he comes.
3. 当句首状语为表示地点的介词词组时，也常常引起全部倒装。例如：
① South of the city lies a big steel factory.
② From the valley came a frightening sound.
4. 表语置于句首时，倒装结构为“表语＋连系动词＋主语”
1）形容词+连系动词+主语
Present at the meeting were Professor White，Professor Smith and many other guests.
2）过去分词+连系动词+主语
Gone are the days when they could do what they liked to the Chinese people.
3）介词短语+be+主语
Among the goods are Christmas trees，flowers，candles and toys.
5. 用于以so，nor，neither开头的句子，表示重复前句部分内容。原句的谓语应与前句谓语的时态、形式相一致例如：
①He has been to Beijing. So have I.
②Li Wei can’t answer the question. Neither can I.
6. 为了保持句子平衡，或为了强调表语或状语，或使上下文紧密衔接时
①They arrived at a farmhouse，in front of which sat a small boy.
②Inside the pyramids are the burial rooms for the kings and queens and long passages to these rooms.
Ⅱ. 部分倒装
1. 用于疑问句。例如：
Do you speak English?
2. 省略了if的条件句中，were，had或should可提到句首构成部分倒装例如：
①Were I not so busy，I should go with you.
②Had he been here yesterday, he would have come to watch the football match.
3. 在so...that（如此……以致于）句型中，若so...提至句首，则构成部分倒装
①So carelessly did he drive that he almost killed himself.
②So loudly did he speak that people in the next room could hear him.
4. 用于“形容词（或名词、动词）+as（though）”引导的让步状语从句中。例如：
①Pretty as she is，she is not clever.
②Try as he would，he might fail again.
注意：
1）在as（though）引导的让步状语从句中，如果主语较长. 也可实行全部倒装。例如：
Difficult as was the chemistry homework，it was finished in me.
2）如果从句的表语是名词，其名词前不加任何冠词例如：
Child as he was，he had to make a living.
5. 用于no sooner... than...，hardly...when和not until句型中，no sooner，hardly，not until置于句首时，句子倒装。例如：
Not until the teacher came did he finish his homework.
6. 用于以never，hardly，seldom，scarcely，barely，little, often not only，not once等词开头的句子
例如：
①Never shall I do this again.
②Little did he know who the woman was.
7. 用于only开头的句子（only后面为副词、介词短语或句子）例如：
①Only this afternoon did I finish the novel.
②Only in this way can you master English.
如果only后面的词组不是状语，则不用倒装，例如：
③Only Wang Ling knows this.
8. 如果直接引语后注明引语是什么人说的，而且主语是名词时，用倒装结构；主语是代词时，一般不用倒装：
例如：“Let’s go，”said the man.
9. 用于某些表示祝愿的句子：例如：
①May you succeed!祝你成功!
②Long live the people!人民万岁！
③May you all be happy!祝你们幸福!
【典型例题】
1. Not only
____
interested in football but
____
beginning to show an interest in it． A．the teacher himself is；all his students are B．the teacher himself is ；are all his students C．is the teacher himself ；are all his students D．is the teacher himself ；all his students are 【解析】D包含not only．．．but（also），not only置于句首，not only，but（also）—David has made great progress recently． —____，and ____． A．So he has；so you have B．So he has；so have you C．So has he；so have you D．So has he；so you have
【解析】B。前半部分意为“他的确如此”，对以上事实进一步肯定；后半部分意为“你也是如此”，属于部分倒装。
3. Only in this way ____ to make improvement in the operating system． A．you can hope
B．you did hope
C．can you hope
D．did you hope
【解析】C。本题中only置于句首修饰介词短语，引起句子部分倒装。因为句意表达的是一种条件，所以使用助动词did不合题意

【高考零距离】

Nevertheless
C. Besides
D. Meanwhile
【解析】选D句意：吉姆去接电话，与此同时，哈里开始准备午餐。
解析：考查副词用法。前后两个句子是相同的语义关系，在时间上表示同时，所以用meanwhile。

四、阅读理解
（福建省四地六校2017届高三上学期第三次月考）
A
Dear Editor,
Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. The problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. By banning all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.
These people forget that when they were young, they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2! Where can kids go for a snack?
There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. Add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?
Fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. Fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. Working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students.
The City Council claims that local merchants, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business. I agree that it is important to support local businesses, but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham.
Another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. If I need a tire for my bike, I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the some kind of tire for $9. Again, I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city.
Wes Woodrow
9th-Grade Student at Brockingham High School
56. Why does Wes Woodrow write this letter to the editor?
A. Because the government bans all fastfood restaurants and discount stores in Brockingham.
B. Because the writer can’t find an icecream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2.
C. Because a family of four can’t find a restaurant in Brockingham to eat dinner for less than $100.
D. Because the writer has to travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store.
57. From the letter we can infer that
.
A. the writer used to buy a lot of icecream soda
B. the students refuse to work in fancy food restaurants
C. the government’s ban benefits local merchants much

Celia was shocked. She had always been in good shape during high school, but now, in her first year of college, she was suddenly ten pounds heavier. “My friends and I often had pizza or ice cream when we studied late at night,” she said, “and I was always drinking Coke to stay awake.”
Celia’s experience is common. Many students enter college and find it so different that they cannot deal with changes properly. They’re away from their parents and in a new stressful environment. Pressures together with freedom to sleep and eat whatever they please cause many students to experience the “Freshman 15”: gaining weight suddenly in their freshman year of college.
Most students do not realize that the “Freshman 15” can cause some serious health problems. Of course, college-age adults are still developing bone mass, so gaining some weight is normal. Sudden weight gain, however, puts too much strain(负担)on the heart and lungs, resulting in little energy and some difficulty thinking and remembering. In later life, it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and possible cancer.
The solution to the “Freshman 15” is simple－pay attention to developing good habits! In general:
●Eat normal-sized meals at regular times. Eat slowly and enjoy it, so you don’t need to go back for more.
●Keep only healthy snacks in your room－and don’t snack too often!
●Control drinking and smoking. Alcohol has a lot of calories, and smoking too much makes exercise difficult.
●Exercise regularly! Even just 30 minutes a day－such as walking quickly to class from your dorm－will make a big difference!

If you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret according to a British market research document released last week.
Researchers peered(凝视)into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.
They say those people can be separated into five categories; nutrition nerds, food faddies(whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.
Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.
People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.
A fridge full of vitamins－enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddies, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.
A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want.
This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work lif
