答案与解析
1. A。这是so…that…句式的倒装。“so + 形容词或副词”置于句首时，主句要用部分倒装形式。
2. B。因…does one know 是倒装句式，所以用“only +状语”并置于句首。
3. B。以never, little, hardly, rarely, scarcely, nowhere, no sooner, seldom 等否定意义的词位于句首时要倒装。如：Not a single song did she sing at yesterday’s party. 在昨天的舞会上她一首歌也没唱。
4. A。地点状语放于句首，用完全倒装。将整个谓语放在句子主语前。句意为“在广场中间矗立着一个英雄纪念碑。”stand意为“站, 立, (使)竖立, (使)位于,”lie意为“躺, 平放,位于”。因此应该用stand，而不用lie。如：The plates lay on the table. 盘子在桌上。
5. C。not only…but also… 连接两个句子时，前句要部分倒装。
6. C。neither 开头要用部分倒装；条件句是一般现在时，主句要用一般将来时。
7. A。因否定词Never放在句首，要用部分倒装，排除选项B和D；另外never before常与完成时连用，排除选项C。
8. D。该题考查倒装结构。当seldom, never, little, hardly等否定词置于句首时，要用倒装结构。
9. A。第一空填空 did you，表示疑问；第二空填 did I，构成 so did I 句式，表示“我也一样”。
10. B。当never, seldom, hardly, little等否定副词置于句首，其后习惯上要用倒装语序，如：Never before have I met such a strange person. 以前我从未见过这样古怪的人。Seldom does he go out for dinner. 他很少出去吃饭。
11. D。由于little含有否定意味，所以当它置于句首时，其后要用倒装句式，又如：Little did they know they were to be reunited ten years later. 他们简直想不到10年后竟又能团聚。
12. C。so does mine在此的意思是“我的房间也一样”。表示“……也一样”时，so的后面要用倒装语序，故可排除B和D。又因为前面一句的谓语动词为实义动词(gets)，所以后面一句要用助动词do，不能用is。所以答案选C。
13. B。当要表示“……也一样不”时，neither后要接倒装句式，故选B。注意这类句式不能用either。
14. B。当so…that…句式中的so…结构位于句首时，so…中的主谓语要用倒装形式。又如：So sudden was the attack that we had no time to escape. 袭击来得非常突然，我们来不及逃跑。
15. D。当as引导让步状语从句时，它总是要用于倒装形式，又如：Young as he is, he knows a lot of things. 他年纪虽轻，知道的事情却不少。Try as he might, he couldn’t open the door. 他试过多次了, 却仍打不开那门。
