【名师点津】 demand的易考点
(1)demand后的宾语从句常用虚拟语气, 其谓语动词常用(should+)do。
(2)sth. demand(s) doing某事需要被做; 此用法为主动形式表示被动的意义(=sth. demand(s) to be done), 此时demand可与动词need, require, want等互换。
【知识延伸】
表示“坚持”“命令”“建议”“要求”等的动词后面的
宾语从句要用虚拟语气。这类虚拟语气由“should+动
词原形”构成, 其中的should可以省略。可以归纳为:
一个坚持(insist)
两个命令(order,command)
三个建议(advise,suggest,propose)
四个要求(demand,require,request,ask)
以上动词用作名词或派生出的名词时, 相应的主语从句、表语从句或同位语从句也用虚拟语气。

此句为主从复合句。where引导的定语从句修饰名词case。有一些先行词, 如point,stage,position,case,situation,condition等, 属于抽象的地点名词, 需要接where引导的定语从句。
【语境领悟】

【要义详析】
英语的一般语序是“主语+谓语+其他部分”, 即主语在前, 谓语在后。但有时出于语法和修辞上的需要, 把谓语的全部或者一部分放在主语之前, 这种语序称为倒装。
一、完全倒装
谓语完全放在主语之前叫完全倒装。
1. 表示方位的介词短语位于句首, 句子的谓语是表示存在意义的动词(lie,stand,exist,live,sit等)时, 要用完全倒装。
*On the left of the crossroads is located the modern laboratory building. 现代化的实验大楼坐落在十字路口的左边。
2. 将here,there,now,then等地点或时间副词置于句首, 且谓语动词是be,come,go,remain,lie,run等, 主语为名词时, 用完全倒装; 主语为代词时, 则不倒装。
*There goes the last bus. (名词作主语, 句子倒装)
末班公共汽车开走了。
*Here comes the military parades!
阅兵方队走过来了!
3. 表示运动方向的副词out,in,up,down,away等置于句首, 谓语是表示运动的动词, 且主语为名词时, 句子要用完全倒装; 主语为代词时, 则不倒装。
*Up went the arrow into the air. 弓箭直射向空中。
*Away flew the plane. 飞机飞走了。
4. “There be”句型属于完全倒装, 其中be动词可用“stand,live,exist,lie,remain,seem, appear”等来代替。
*There stands the highest building in the world—Burj Khalifa Tower.
那儿有世界最高建筑——迪拜塔。
*Look! There appear some black clouds in the sky.
看!空中乌云密布。
5. 为保持句子平衡(句子的主语部分较长, 谓语部分较短)或使上下文衔接紧密, 或为了强调句子的表语时, 常使用完全倒装。
*Present at the meeting are leaders from the BRICS.
出席会议的是来自“金砖”国家的领导人。
6. such作表语, 置于句首, 意为“……就是如此”。
*Such was our attitude to territorial sovereignty.
我们对领土主权的态度就是如此。
【巧学助记】 七言记完全倒装
副介开头全倒装, 遇到代词则照常。
方位方式别遗忘, 上下进出往前放。
there,here用得上, 时间顺序句首放。
表语句首主语长, 句子平衡需倒装。
【即学活用】
(1)______________________ Mr Green and many
other guests.
出席聚会的是格林先生和其他一些客人。
(2)________ the facts.
事实就是如此。
Present at the party were
Such are
(3)Hidden behind the door _________________________.
藏在门后面的是几个调皮的孩子。
(4)In ___________________,followed by a group of
teachers.
校长走了进来, 后面跟着一群老师。
were some naughty children
came the headmaster
二、部分倒装
将谓语的一部分(助动词或情态动词)置于主语之前, 即构成部分倒装。
1. 一般疑问句皆为部分倒装。
*Does this mean that plants talk to each other?这意味着植物会彼此交谈吗?
2. 将never,hardly,seldom,scarcely,barely,little,not,nowhere,by no means,in no way,at no time,in no case等表示否定或半否定意义的词或词组置于句首时, 句子要用部分倒装。
*Hardly does she have time to listen to music.
她几乎没有时间听音乐。
*Little do I dream of seeing such wonderful scenery.
我做梦也没想到会看到这样美丽的景色。
3. “so/nor/neither+助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语”结构为部分倒装。
*He can swim and so can I. 他会游泳, 我也会。
*My father doesn’t smoke; nor/neither does her father.
我父亲不吸烟, 她的父亲也不吸烟。
【微语心得】
“so+助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语”结构强调前面所表述的情况也适用于另一主语, 但是该结构中的主语与前面的主语不一致。
4. 将not until,“only+状语(副词、介宾短语或从句)”置于句首时, 句子要用部分倒装。
*Not until you waste it will you realize the importance of time.
只有当你浪费掉时间的时候, 你才会知道时间的重要性。
*Only in this way can we be civilized Chinese who will win respect from all over the world.
只有这样我们才会成为被世界各地人们所尊重的文明中国人。
5. 在“so/such. . . that. . . ”句型中, 将“so/such+所修饰成分”置于句首时, 主句要用部分倒装。
*So nervous was I that I could hardly tell which direction was left.
我如此着急以至于分辨不清哪边是左。
6. not only. . . but also. . . 引导两个并列分句, not only置于句首时, not only所在的分句需用倒装, but also所在的分句不用倒装; 而 neither. . . nor. . . 引导两个并列分句时, 两个分句都需要倒装。
*Not only do we come to school on time every day,but also we must study hard.
我们不仅每天按时上学, 也必须要努力学习。
*Neither will he give up the treatment to his ankle,nor will he give up the chance to take part in the next race.
他既不会放弃对他的脚踝的治疗, 也不会放弃参加下次比赛的机会。
7. 在no sooner. . . than. . . , hardly/scarcely. . . when. . . 结构中, no sooner, hardly/scarcely位于句首时, 主句倒装, 从句不倒装。
*No sooner had the competition begun than an unexpected accident happened.
比赛刚开始, 一个意想不到的事故就发生了。
*Hardly had the result of the match been announced when the audience cheered up. 比赛结果刚一宣布观众就欢呼起来了。
8. as引导的让步状语从句必须部分倒装, though引导的让步状语从句可倒可不倒, 其倒装形式为: 形容词/副词/名词/动词+as/though+主语+谓语。
*Busy and tired as we are,we still feel happy.
尽管很忙很累, 但是我们仍然很高兴。
*Try hard as he will,he never seems able to do the work satisfactorily.
尽管他很努力, 他似乎永远无法把工作做得满意。
9. 虚拟条件句中, if引导的条件从句中若有were, had, should, 可省去if,把were,had,should提到主语之前, 构成部分倒装。
*Were I to do the work,I should do it some other way.
要是我做这份工作, 我会换种方式做。
10. 部分倒装还用于某些表示祝愿的句子中。
*May you have a happy day!祝你过得愉快!
【巧学助记】 口诀记部分倒装
only修饰副、介、状, 位于句首半倒装。
否定意义副连词, 放在句首也同样。
not only开头句, 前一分句须倒装。
had,were,should虚拟句, 省略if半倒装。
注: 半倒装=部分倒装。

In order to encourage the students to take outdoor exercise,our school organized a mountain-climbing activity on April 10. Hundreds of us took part in it.
It was a nice day. At 8: 00 am,we gathered at the foot of Daqing Mountain to set out for the top in high spirits. All the way we were chatting,singing and laughing,enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. When someone fell behind,others would come and offer help. About 2 hours later,we all reached the top. Bathed in sunshine,we jumped and cheered with joy.
The activity benefited us a lot. Not only did it get us close to nature and give us relaxation from heavy schoolwork,but it also promoted the friendship among us. What a wonderful time!
