        2.倒装测试范围和应对策略
        倒装分部分倒装和全部倒装,但从近几年的测试来看,重点是部分倒装。对于倒装句型同学们所应注意的就是在哪些情况下需要倒装,并且如何倒装。注意下面常见的倒装条件。
        1) 含有否定意味的词置于句首,主谓倒装。
        同学们应注意常用否定词语,如:hardly, barely, not, seldom, little, few, nowhere, never, at no time, by no means, in no way, in no case, under no circumstances, not until, not only… but also.., neither … nor…等。如果是在从句的句首,则从句倒装,如4)题。
        2) only + 状语置于句首,主谓倒装。
        Only后的状语可以是单词、短语,也可以是从句,要特别注意,从句并不倒装,而是主句倒装。如:
        Only when the war was over was he able to get happily back to work.
        3) Neither/So置于句首倒装,表示"也/也不……",如上面的2)3)题。
        4) There/here/then或做状语的地点副词和地点介词短语置于句首,要全部倒装。如:
        There stands a monument in the center of the square.
        Down came a light form the ceiling when he was walking across the floor.
        On the hay lay a wounded boy of not more than seventeen.
        5) 现在分词和过去分词可提至句首构成"分词+ be + 主语+其它+的倒装句式。如:
        Enclosed in the letter was a photo of a beautiful girl.
        Glooming in the test tube on the table was the mysterious something which they had been working so hard to find, radium.
        6) so/such…. that句型中,so + 形容词/副词提前,主谓倒装。如:
        So boring was the speech that the audience all left halfway.
        Such a noise did they make that the neighbors could not go to sleep at night.
