本期重点：特殊句型（强调句、倒装句、省略句）

考点例析：

例1：Animation（动画）means making things which are lifeless come
Alive and move. Since earliest times, people have always been fascinated by
movement. But not until this century we managed to capture movement, _______
to record it, and in the case of animation, to reinterpret it and recreate it.

解析：状语not until…提前，后面的主句主谓倒装，根据上下文和谓语managed可推断该句应为完成时。故在we 前加have。

拓展：部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词，则需添加助动词 do, does 或 did ，并将其置于主语之前。
句首为否定或半否定的词语，如 no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until... 等。
EX1. Never have I seen such a performance.
EX2. Nowhere will you find the answer to this question.
EX3. Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room.
　 当 Not until 引出主从复合句，主句倒装，从句不倒装。

以否定副词开头并加状语的句子要求部分倒装。这些否定副词有barely, hardly, little, seldom, , never, no sooner…… than, rarely, no more, nor nearly, Not only...but also, Hardly/ Scarcely ...when, No sooner... than等以及only
EX1. Not only did he refuse the gift, he also severely criticized the sender.
EX2. Hardly had she gone out when a student came to visit her.
EX3. No sooner had she gone out than a student came to visit her.

例2：It is Western health-care system which are spending huge sums of ______
money on the surgical treatment of the disease.

解析：这个是It is …that…强调句。无论后面的从句缺少什么成分，都只能用that来引导并且不能省略（如果强调部分是人时，可以用who）。故将which改为that。

例3：The boy wanted to play football in the street, but his mother told him not. ________

解析：这个是省略句，完整为The boy wanted to play football in the street, but his mother told him not to play football in the street。动词不定式的省略：在动词不定式结构中，为了避免重复，常常省略不定式结构中的动词原形，只保留to。所以应该在not后加个to。

together to be married.

2.It shames me to say it, but I told a lie when questioning at the meeting _______

参考答案及解析:

巩固与拓展

1. who -> that
本题强调的是状语in front of the religious leader，故引导词只能用that，并且不能省略。本题句意是：新郎、新娘通常就是一起站在宗教头领面前举行结婚。

2. questioning -> questioned
这句when后省略了I was。

3. one前加can
带有否定含义的状语In no country提前，主谓要倒装。这句话it had been said是插入语成分，主语和谓语分别是one和 experience，所以要在one前加can。这句话的意思是：除了英国之外没有一个国家能在一天内经历4个季节。

4. was -> / 或was前加she
while从句完整的应该是while she was an infant。根据英语中的省略规则，主从句主语一致、从句谓语包含be动词时，可以省略从句的主语和be动词，而不可以只省略主语。

5. he前加did
当only修饰的状语提前时，主句的主谓要倒装。故在he前加did。注：如果only修饰的是主语时，主谓不用倒装，例如：Only my sister can do this job.
