2014高考英语考前押题：特殊句式
1． 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． 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． _______ 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
C．How curious was the detective
