特殊句式及其他
(共3组,每组限时8分钟)
1.(2013·南昌一模)It is comforting to see that ________, we are doing our part for the environment.
A.as small may be we B.as we may be small
C.small as may be we D.small as we may be
解析:选D 考查倒装。句意:很欣慰看到我们都在为环境尽自己的一份力,尽管我们可能是渺小的。此处考查as引导让步状语从句时构成的部分倒装,语序应为“形容词/名词+as+主语+谓语”,故D项正确。
2.(2013·东北三校一模)I am certain by no means ________ his word since he has promised an amount of money to the poor.
A.he will break B.will he break
C.broke D.did he break
解析:选B 考查倒装。句意:我确信既然他答应捐一笔钱给穷人,他绝不会食言的。by no means“绝不”为表示否定意义的介词短语,置于句首时,其后面的主谓语要部分倒装,根据句意可知设空处需用一般将来时,故选B。
3.(2013·辽宁五校协作体第一次联考)________ about the man wearing sunglasses during night that he was determined to follow him.
A.So curious the detective was
B.So curious was the detective
