题目内容
6.I have been living in the United States for twenty years,but seldom ______ so lonely as now.( )A. | have I felt | B. | I had felt | C. | I have felt | D. | had I felt |
分析 我已经在美国居住了20年了,但是极少像现在一样感到孤独.
解答 答案:A.否定词seldom(表示"极少")位于句首时,句子用部分倒装,即疑问倒装,又根据时间状语 now可知用现在完成时态,所以答案是A.
点评 考查部分倒装.
1)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.
Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he has always dreamt about(疾病没有使他放弃过上梦想中的生活)
2)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:例:Not until yesterday did little John change his mind.(小约翰直到昨天才改变了主意.) In no country other than Britain,it had been said,can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.(据说除了英国世界上没有哪个国家能让人在一天中感受到四季变化)
3)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等以及only. Only in the country can you learn the"true English".
4)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.
5)此外,一些介词+no+名词的结构中需要用部分倒装,这些结构包括at no time; by no means; by no manner of means; for no reason; in no case; in/under no circumstances; in no sense; in no way; on no account; on no consideration; at no point例如Under no circumstances should you lend Paul any money.
