1、专题10特殊句式与主谓一致1“Never for a second，”the boy says，“_that my father would come to my rescue.”(2013江苏，27)AI doubted Bdo I doubtCI have doubted Ddid I doubt答案D解析句意为：这个男孩说：“我从不怀疑我父亲会来救我。”当否定副词或具有否定含义的短语置于句首时，句子常用部分倒装。故本题要用部分倒装。再根据would come to.可知，是在讲过去发生的事，故用过去时。2It was only after he had read the papers _
2、 Mr.Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete.(2013大纲全国，30)Awhen BthatCwhich Dwhat答案B解析句意为：直到他读了文件之后，格罗斯先生才意识到他面临的任务很难完成。本句为强调句型，强调了时间状语only after he had read the papers。根据强调句结构“It is/was被强调部分that剩余部分”可知选B项。3Only by increasing the number of doctors by 50 percent _ proper
3、ly in this hospital.(2013大纲全国，32)Acan be the patients treatedBcan the patients be treatedCthe patients can be treatedDtreated can be the patients答案B解析本题考查部分倒装。句意为：只有增加50%的医生，这个医院的病人才能得到恰当的医治。“only状语”放于句首时句子须用部分倒装。4_small，the company has about 1,000 buyers in over 30 countries.(2013天津，5)AAs BIfCAltho

6、用复数形式；“which_a burden for some of them”是一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前面一句话，所以此处谓语动词用单数。 7Not once_to Michael that he could one day become a top student in his class.(2013湖南，35)Aoccurred it Bit did occurCit occurred Ddid it occur答案D解析考查倒装的用法。句意为：迈克尔成为班里的第一名这样的情况一次也没有发生过。否定词not置于句首，句子要用部分倒装。8Read this story，_you

8、 Dhow答案B解析考查强调句型。句意为：是在当地向导的帮助下，登山者才被营救出来。强调句型的结构是：It is/was被强调部分that.，故答案为B项。10Film has a much shorter history，especially when_such art forms as music and painting.(2012新课标全国，32)Ahaving compared toBcomparing toCcompare toDcompared to答案D解析句子的主语是film，它和compare之间是被动关系，所以要用被动形式。因此只能选D项。“when compared t
9、o.”相当于when引导的状语从句的省略，补全后为：when it is compared to.。句意为：电影的历史短得多，尤其是它与诸如音乐、绘画等艺术形式相比较时。11Not until he retired from teaching three years ago _having a holiday abroad.(2012辽宁，32)Ahe had consideredBhad he consideredChe consideredDdid he consider答案D解析句首是“Not until”，表达否定意义的连词短语位于句首时要用部分倒装，因此可以排除A、C两项。再分析句子
10、结构可知，本空所在是主句部分，结合从句时态可知主句用一般过去时态。句意为：直到在三年前从教学上退休后他才考虑到国外度假。12Only after Mary read her composition the second time_the spelling mistake.(2012天津，6)Adid she notice Bshe noticedCdoes she notice Dshe has noticed答案A解析句意为：只有当玛丽再次读她的作文之后她才注意到这个拼写错误。“only状语/状语从句”位于句首时，主句须用倒装语序。after引导的是时间状语从句，接在only之后，位于句首，
11、所以主句要用倒装，可排除B、D两项。而且根据语境知read和notice都是过去发生的动作，所以答案为A项。13The basketball coach，as well as his team，_ interviewed shortly after the match for their outstanding performance.(2012陕西，12)Awere BwasCis Dare答案B解析考查动词时态和主谓一致。as well as连接两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词的数由第一个名词或代词决定。本题中主语中心词是the basketball coach，是单数；根据shortly

13、 only its beauty but also its weather.(2012湖南，30)Awho BthatCwhere Dbefore答案B解析句意为：直到我来到这儿才意识到，这个地方不仅以它的美而且以它的天气出名。这里是强调结构：It is/was被强调部分that.；本题强调的是时间状语。16All the scientific evidence _ that increasing use of chemicals in farming _ damaging our health.(2012湖南，35)Ashow；are Bshows；areCshow；is Dshows；is
14、答案D解析句意为：所有的科学证据表明：农业方面越来越多化学物质的使用正在损害着我们的健康。主语是evidence“证据(不可数名词)”，所以谓语动词应用单数形式shows；宾语从句的主语是use“使用(不可数名词)”，所以谓语动词要用is。17Never before_seen anybody who can play tennis as well as Robert.(2012江西，32)Ahad she Bshe hadChas she Dshe has答案C解析句意为：她从来都没有看到过任何人打网球和Robert一样好的。表示否定的副词never等放在句首，句子要用部分倒装结构，且本句时
