FIRE AT SEABREEZE
Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors: “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed. ” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.
The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one:
ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp. ” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

Labrador Retrievers are known
for their hunting skills and friendly
dispositions(性情), but Beau, a black
Labrador who lives in Montana, is
winning acclaim (喝彩) for his math
abilities.
Owner David Madsen says if he tells Beau there are six dogs in the park and three dogs leave, and then asks him how many are left, the dog replies: “Woof, woof, woof. ”
B
“He counts, he adds and subtracts (减去), he can do some division(除法) and has memorized square roots, ” Madsen said.
Beau has achieved a degree of celebrity (名人)for his counting skills, becoming a star on visits to shops, restaurants and cabins in the Flathead Lake resort in Montana where the Madsen family spends summers.
Madsen, a retiree of AT&T, adopted the puppy a dozen years ago and began teaching him math basics when he showed signs of being intelligent.
He taught Beau to count using dog biscuits, laying out a handful and rewarding the dog when the number of his barks corresponded to the number of treats.
“He caught on that rewards were associated with the correct number of barks. I’ve had dogs all my life, but this dog is different. He’s super smart, and the accuracy rate is about 85 percent of the time, ” Madsen said.
“As a puppy, Beau invented games and crafted(精巧地制作)complex strategies to avoid capture, ” he said.
Brandon Bretz, manager of Bretz RV and Marine in Missoula, Montana, said he recently watched Beau in action.
“A group of us were standing there and Dave asked Beau, ‘how many girls are here ’ There were two and Beau barked twice, next, Dave asked, ‘how many boys ’ Beau barked five times even though there were only four guys. ” Bretz said.
“Then we understood it. Beau is a boy, and he was counting himself. That dog is on the up and up, ” he said.
Bretz has booked Beau as a guest speaker for his company’s annual customer appreciation barbecue.

倒装是一种比较常见的语言表达方式,是英语几种特殊句式中常考的一种题型。学习倒装结构应该注意以下几点:一、什么是倒装——倒装是指谓语动词置于主语之前的一种现象二、有几种倒装——两种(全部倒装和部分倒装)三、什么时候需要用倒装——语法需要和强调。
观察下列句子,注意黑体部分在句子中的成分及作用。
①Never will Zhou Yang(ZY) forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper.
周洋将永远不会忘记在一个很受欢迎的英语报刊办公室的第一个任务。
②Not only am I interested in photography, but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills.
我不仅对摄影感兴趣,而且在大学里我还选修了这门课程来使我的摄影技术不断进步。
③In came the teacher and the class began.
老师走了进来,然后开始上课。
在句子中,把助动词或谓语动词置于主语之前,我们把这
种句式称为倒装句。倒装句分为部分倒装和全部倒装。将
谓语动词完全移至主语前面的倒装句称为全部倒装,如③;
只将谓语的一部分放到主语之前的倒装句称为部分倒装,
如①②。
Ⅰ. 全部倒装
1. 表示方式、时间或方位的副词或介词(短语)如here, there, now, then,up, down, in, away, off, out, in the room, on the wall等置于句首时,用全部倒装。
改错:Out rushed he. → Out he rushed .
2. such置于句首时,此时such在句中多作表语,故such后
be动词应与其后的“真正的主语”保持一致。
Such are the facts (这就是事实);no one can deny them.
3. 有时为了保持句子平衡,或为了强调表语或状语,或使上
下文紧密衔接,把表语或状语提前,用完全倒装语序。
Present at the meeting were experts (出席会议的是专家)on
AIDS.
4. so. . . that或such. . . that句型中的so. . . 或such. . . 等词组提
到句首时,主句要倒装。

go to study in the school.
5. “There be”句型中,be可以换作appear, enter, come,
exist, happen, lie, remain, seem, stand等。
There stood a tree (耸立着一棵树) behind the house.
6. 在虚拟条件句中,若有were, had, should,有时可以省略
连词if,而把这三个词放在主语之前,变成倒装句。
If I were a bird, I would fly
→ Were I a bird , I would fly.
Ⅱ. 部分倒装
1. 有否定意义的词或含有否定词的状语短语放在句首时,部分倒装。如never, not, nowhere, neither, nor, little, seldom, rarely, hardly, scarcely, not until, no sooner. . . than, in no way, by no means(决不), at no time (任何时候都不),in no case (在任何情况下都不),not only. . . but also. . . (连接两个并列分句时,前一个分句倒装,后一个分句不倒装)等。
Seldom does he come late to the office these days.
他这段日子很少上班迟到。
2. “Only+状语”(副词、介词短语或状语从句)位于句首时,必须使用倒装语序。
Only Tom didn’t pass the exam.
只有汤姆没有通过考试。
3. as或 though引导的让步状语从句,要用倒装语序。把从句中的表语、状语或动词原形置于句首。如果表语是单数可数名词,提到句首时一般不加冠词。
Child as he is (虽然他只是个孩子), he knows a lot about the car.
4. 以so开头表示“也一样”的省略句必须使用倒装语序。
但是,当前后两句的主语是同一人时,不可使用倒装语
序表示对上一句的赞同。
She has been to New York and so have I (我也一样).
5. 虚拟语气中,若从句中含有should, had等时,可以省
略连词if,而把should,had等词放在主语之前,变成部分
倒装句。
Had you come a bit earlier (=If you had come. . . ),
you should have caught the last bus.
6. 一般疑问句和特殊疑问句一般都用倒装语序。
