这似乎是一件怪事:这位发展了共产主义的人竟然在伦敦生活,并且在伦敦去世。

当here, there位于句首时,主语是名词且没有宾语时,句子需要完全倒装,即整个谓语动词提到主语之前。与此用法相同的还有now, then, thus, in, out, away, down, up, off,
back, over等, 谓语动词常为be,come,go等。如:
飞机起飞了。
Away flew the plane.
我姑姑出来了。
Out came my aunt.

had never seen before.
A.a girl stand B.a girl stood
C.did a girl stand D.stood a girl
【命题分析】考查倒装句。
【答案与解析】D 句意:约翰把门打开。在那儿,站着一个他以前从未见过的女孩儿。根据第二个句子句首的there以及句子的主语a girl可判断出,该句须用全部倒装句,A、B项均不是倒装句,C项为部分倒装句,只有D项正确。
(2)For a moment nothing happened.
Then ? all shouting together.
A. voices had come B.came voices
C.voices would come D.did voices come
【命题分析】考查倒装句。
【答案与解析】B 句意:一时间,什么都没发生。之后大家一起大叫起来。本句中副词then位于句首,且句子主语为名词voices,故该句须用全部倒装,B项符合要求。
