Step VIII Grammar
定义：在英语中，主语和谓语的语序通常是主语在前，谓语在后。但有时谓语的全部或者一部分（通常是助动词或情态动词）却提到主语的前面，这种语序叫做“倒装”。
1. 对部分倒装句型的判断:
so （用于肯定句表示“也”）;so/such…that…(引导结果状语从句);only（修饰介词、副词、状语从句）;否定副词/短语never，little, seldom，neither，nor，hardly，rarely, barely， not a/an…, not only, not until…,no sooner…than…,hardly…when…,by no means, under no condition等放在句首均使用部分倒装句型。例如：
So frightened was she that she dared not move. 她吓得不敢动。
Seldom does he go to see his parents. 他很少去看望他父母。
Under no condition will I give up.无论任何我都不会放弃的。
Hardly/ Scarcely had he reached home when it began to rain heavily. 他一到家天就下起大雨来。
2. 对全部倒装句型的判断:
某些表示时间或地点的副词 here/there/now/ then; 表示方向性的副词in, out, up, down, away, off； 表示地点的介词短语at the foot of, in front of, to the east of等放在句首均使用全部倒装句型。此外,表示存在的“There be”句型 以及为了强调表语而将其提前的“表语+be +主语”的结构也属于完全倒装之列。例如：
There goes the bell. 铃响了。
In front of the house stands a tall tree. 门前有一棵大树。
Present at the meeting were Pro. White, Doc. Smith and other guests. 出席会议的有怀特教授，史密斯博士以及其他客人。
注意: 全部倒装句型的谓语动词应是不及物动词，常见的有: be, come, go, follow, stand, lie, sit, fly, flow, exist, live等。
部分倒装
1. 当含有否定意义的副词或连词hardly, never, not, little, seldom, no longer, not only, not until等位于句首时。如：
Never before have I seen such a thrilling film.
Little did I know that my life was about to change.
注意：
① not only... but also... 连接两个并列分句时，如果not only位于句首，则前一分句倒装，后一分句仍然用陈述语序。如：
Not only did I know Helen, but also I was her best friend.
② not until后跟状语从句位于句首时，从句不倒装，后面的主句倒装。如：
Not until her son came back did Mrs. White go to bed last night.
2. only所修饰的副词、介词短语或状语从句位于句首时。如：
Only in this way was Jack able to make himself understood.
Only then did I know the importance of friendship.
Only after she finished the homework did she leave.
注意：如果only修饰主语位于句首时，句子不倒装。如：
Only a few students can answer this question.
3. so, neither, nor引起的句子，表示前面的情况也适用于另一人或物。如：
Mrs. Wang has gone abroad, so has her daughter.
If you don’t attend the meeting, neither / nor will I.
4. as引导让步状语从句时，常将表语、状语或谓语提前，构成倒装。此时as可与连词though替换。 如：
Angry as / though Professor Smith was, he managed to speak calmly.
5. if引导虚拟条件句时，可将if省略，同时将were / had / should等提至主语前。如：
Had Mike got up earlier, he could have caught the bus.
6. 用于“形容词(或名词、动词)＋ as (though)” 引导的让步状语从句。
Pretty as she is, she is not clever.
Try as he would, he might fail again.
7. 用于某些祝愿的句子。
May you succeed.

Step Ⅵ Summary and Homework
T: In this period we have talked about the qualities needed to be a good reporter and a good photographer, how to get an accurate story and how to protect a story from accusation. Now here’s homework for today:
Summary
To the reporters, it’s _ unnecessary for them to take a camera when covering
a story because they have professional photographers with them. The reporters should be curious and they must have a good nose for a story. They know how to acquire the information they need. While interviewing, they won’t be rude, they won’t talk too much
themselves. They will listen to the detailed facts and ask new questions. There is a trick of the trade, that is, with the permission of the interviewer, they would use small recorders which could keep the evidence to help support their story.

E — Eyewitness
TV: Good evening. It is lovely to be with you and to-night we have a very special story. It’s about a very large and rare fish that was caught during a fishing competition. And who is sitting here tonight is the fisherman who caught it. Good evening.
F: Good evening.
TV: Can you tell your story to the audience?
F: OK. It was quite by accident. I went to the river early that morning. There was no one else. I threw my fishing line into the water and was amazed to find that immediately I had a bite on the line. It was this wonderful fish. So, of course, I pulled it out of the water quickly.
TV: And was it the largest fish caught so far?
F: Yes, indeed.
TV: But an eyewitness has said that he saw you buying this fish in a fish shop.
F: Well, I think that must have been a mistake. This is my fish. I caught it and it belongs to me. I can’t understand why someone would make up such a story.
TV: Well, we’ll see. Let’s go to our reporter. He’s talking to the eyewitness who saw the whole thing.
R: Hello there. I’m right by the fish shop and with me is Zhang Xia who saw the fisherman buy the fish. Now please tell us what happened?
E: I saw the fisherman go into the shop and come out with this large, rare fish. When he went into the shop he had nothing at all. Really!
R: Did you follow him?
E: Yes, because I thought it was a little strange. When I got close to the river I saw him showing his fish to the other fishermen. Then he went to the judges and they weighed his fish and told him it was the largest so far.
R: Goodness. So you think he cheated?
E: Yes, I think so.
R: Wow! I must return you to the studio.
TV: Well, what do you have to say about that?
F: ... It’s a lie! He has a friend who’s also taking part in this competition. I think he just wants him to win.
TV: We can settle this right away. All we have to do is to go to the fish shop and ask the shopkeeper if he recognizes you or not.

Fish Story
Today is the city’s annual Fathers’ Day Fishing Competition. Mr. Thompson took part in the fishing competition. He presented a very large and rare fish as big as a small car.
Mr. Thompson said, “It was quite by accident.” “I had a bite on the line. It was this wonderful fish. So, of course, I pulled it out of the water very quickly.” He added.
However, an eyewitness said he had seen Mr. Thompson earlier in the day buying fish at the fish market. He said, “I saw the fisherman go into the shop and come out with this large, rare fish.” “Then he went to the judges and they weighed his fish and told him it was the largest so far”, said the witness.
Mr. Thompson finally admitted he had bought the fish and had not caught it. He apologized in public and said that he only did it so his son would be proud of him as a fisherman. So it seems that it was Mr. Thompson who was the big fish!
