4. 语法：倒装(Inversion)
英语句子的正常语序(Normal Order)是主语放在谓语动词前。如果句子的谓语动词位于主语之前，这种语序被称作倒装语序(Inverted Order)。倒装语序有全部倒装和部分倒装两种。一般说来，英语中有两种情况需要使用倒装句：一种是由于语法结构的需要而进行的倒装，另一种是由于修辞需要而进行的倒装。
1) 语法倒装
① 疑问句中的倒装。例：
Is it necessary to keep the brushes in water?
How can we find out who are using these computers?
② 在there be (或there十其他表示状态的动词) 结构中的倒装．例：
There are a lot of people in the room．
There stands a weather station at the top of the hill．
③ 在以here，there，now，then等引起的句子中，动词是be，come，go等时，常用倒装形式以引起注意。例：
There goes the bell！
Now comes your turn．
如果主语是人称代词，则不用倒装。例：
Here we are．
④ 在so，nor，neither开头的句子中，须用倒装语序。例：
All animals need air and so do plants．
If you won’t go，neither shall I.
2) 修辞倒装
① 具有否定意义的副词或词组用于句首，担任状语时，要用倒装。常见的词有：never，seldom，1ittle，hardly，not until等。另外，含有否定意义的关联词neither… (nor)，no sooner…(than)，hardly…when，not only…(but also)等位于句首时也须用倒装。例：
Never have I dreamed of it．
Not Until midnight did it stop raining．
Hardly had he arrived when he started complaining．
Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quite, beautiful place．
② as引导的让步状语从句中，要用倒装语序。例：
Old as he was, he studied English hard.
Brave as they were , the danger made them afraid．
注：though引导的让步状语从句中，也可用倒装语序。
③ 为了生动地描写动作，在in，out，away，up，down，off等副词开头的句子中常用倒装语序。例：
Up went the rocket into the air.
Following a roar, out rushed a tiger from among the bushes.
在此结构中，当主语是代词时，用正常语序。例：
Away they went. / Down it flew.
④ 当“only +状语”用于句首表示强调时，要用倒装语序，如果不在 句首，则用正常语序。例：
Only in this way can you hope to improve the situation there.
Only when we had a talk with him did we come to know that he was a Japanese .
⑤ 当“ so (such) ... that" 结构中的so, such 放在句首加强语气时，用倒装。例：
So excited was he ( = He was so excited ) that he couldn't speak.
Such was the force of the explosion(爆炸) that all the windows were
broken .

Are you short or Tall? Do you like pumpkins(南瓜) but hate mayonnaise（蛋黄酱）? Whatever your interests, there’s a club, society, or group for you.
America is home to about 25,000 clubs, associations, societies, organizations, and other groups that all sorts of people join. If you are very short, there are the “Short Stature Foundation” and the “Little People of America.” If you’re tall, there are dozens of clubs for tall people.
If you can’t stand mayo（蛋黄酱）, there’s the “I Hate Mayonnaise” club: members get the No Mayo newsletter, and a list of mayo-free restaurants,
Many people claim to have seen the rock star Elvis Presley, even after his death in 1977. Maybe that’s because so many people dress up and act like Elvis. Some of them formed the “Elvis Presley Impersonators Association International.”
If you like to sing along through a micro phone as you listen to music, you might consider the “Karaoke International Organization of Nerds” has more than 10,000 members. It is led by a man in Cincinnati, Ohio, who calls himself the Supreme Archerd. He says membership may be for you if your eyeglasses are held together with tape, you keep at least 37 ball-point pens in a plastic pocket protector, and you wear slacks and shirts of clashing plaids.
Many clubs are devoted to food. The “International Banana Club” wants people everywhere to smile more in a world that is “going bananas”(变地疯狂). The club has a library and museum of about 12,000 important banana artifacts. The “International Pumpkins” is devoted to growing giant pumpkins. “Slow Food Foundation” is a club that objects to fast-food places and promotes that joy of leisurely dining.
Because so many people love animals, there are many clubs to protect favored creatures. For instance, “Bat Conservation International” wants people to know about the many good points of bats. One example: Bats eat tons of insects, which would otherwise upset people.
1. The clubs mentioned in the passage are _______ .
A. for serious people only. B. for fun

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity(好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven－year－olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary（薪水） and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior(行为). But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or “I'd never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target (目标) for your disagreement.
Lastly, show; don't tell. Real－life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
4. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is .
A. to let them see the world around
B. to share the children's curiosity
C. to explain difficult phrases about science
D. to supply the children with lab equipment
5. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by _ .
A. any questions B. any problems
C. questions from textbooks D. any number of questions
6. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults _ .
A. ask them to answer quickly
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question
C. tell them to answer the next day.
D. wait at least for three seconds after a question.
7. In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?
A. The second and third. B. The fourth and fifth.
C. The fifth and sixth. D. The seventh.
8. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children's curiosity except that adults should .
A. tell their children stories instead of reciting(背诵) facts
B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves
C. be patient enough when their children answer questions

Between ten and midnight the United States is politically leaderless ---- there is no center of information anywhere in the nation except in the New York headquarters of the great broadcasting companies and the two great wire services. No candidate and no party can afford the investment on election night to match the news-gathering resources of the mass media; and so, as every citizen sits in his home watching his TV set or listening to his radio, he is the equal of any other in knowledge. There is nothing that can be done in these hours, for no one can any longer direct the great strike for America’s power; the polls have closed. Good or bad, whatever the decision, America will accept the decision ---- and cut down any man who goes against it, even though for millions the decision runs contrary to their own votes. The general vote is an expression of national will, the only substitute for violence and blood. Its verdict is to be defended as one defends civilization itself.
There is nothing like this American expression of will in England or France, India or Russia or China. Only one other major nation in modern history has ever tried to elect its leader directly by mass, free, popular vote. This was the Weimar Republic of Germany (魏玛共和国), which modeled its unitary vote for national leaders on the American practice. Out of its experiment with the system it go Hitler. Americans have had Lincoln, two Roosevelts. Nothing can be done when the voting returns are flooding in; the White House and its power will move to one or another of the two candidates, and all will know about it in the morning. But for these hours history stops.
13. Between 10 p.m. and midnight the United States has no leader because _____.
A. the president has resigned B. the strike for power has ended
C. the results of the election are not in D. the networks have shut down
14. “The great strike for America’s power” in Para. 1 implies _____.

Bulbs(鳞茎) are ideal for new gardeners including children, because they are easy to plant and they always flower well in their first season. They need comparatively little attention, provided that the soil has been properly prepared, and the place where they are planted is chosen with care. They will last for many years and give you an annual(yearly)show of flowers that are often so richly colored or beautifully formed as to be in a class apart from other garden flowers.
However; it is a mistake to buy bulbs without any plan of what effect you really want from them. I have written this book to help in selecting the most suitable bulbs for the typical, small, modern garden of the non-specialist gardener, and have made some suggestions to help readers who may not have had a garden before.
Too many books for beginners tell new gardeners to grow a few "sensible" kinds of plants and leave the more interesting kinds to adventurous experts. For the first few years of one's gardening life one should, it seems, concentrate on learning simple techniques while admiring the gardens of more experienced neighbors.
In fact, as a learner-gardener you need not fear that your efforts will necessarily show your inexperience, because (and here I give away a most closely-guarded secret), provided the bulbs come from a really reliable source, it is possible to produce as good results in your first year of gardening as in your eightieth.
There are some difficult bulbs that will disappoint you, especially some lilies (百合花) and a few very small daffodils (黄水仙), but these are often no more attractive than the really easy ones. Therefore, be bold with bulbs; they are a sound investment (投资) for any garden.
17. Inexperienced gardeners are often told that they should ______________.
A. learn from other gardeners
B. plant only a few types of plants
C. get some suggestions firm experienced neighbors
D. make more experiments with plants
18. Why should new gardeners try growing bulbs?
A. Once planted, little after-care is needed.
B. Their flowers become beautiful and beautiful each year.
C. They are cheap.
D. They can grow anywhere in the garden.
19. Bulbs are described as an investment because ___________ .
A. the people can appreciate them
B. they make other flowers look beautiful
C. they flower year after year
D. they continue to flower all summer
20. What is this book on gardening about?
A. General advice for gardeners.
B. The choice of bulbs for small gardens.
C. The latest information on new bulbs.
D. Planning on easily maintained (保养)

Ⅴ.Two possible version:
Dear editor:
I think it is good to send teenagers abroad for further study.
Compared with China’s education, foreign education has many advantages.
It has a good education sense, pays special attention to the training of students’ abilities and creates relaxing self-study circumstances for them.
In the schools, we don’t have to bear a heavy learning load as we do in China, and therefore we can learn much and better.
In foreign countries, we have more chances to learn about foreign culture, customs and habits, which can broaden our mind.
Though we have to look after ourselves abroad and maybe life is hard for us, it will help us train our ability to live independently and deal with problems.
Yours sincerely
Li Hua
Dear editor:
I don’t think it is good to send teenagers abroad to study.
Compared with China’s education, foreign education has many problems.
Some foreign schools are not as good as those of our country in teaching quality. In those schools, students can’t learn more, and therefore waste a lot of money, which is a heavy burden to their families.
Teenagers are too young to take care of themselves either in their study in their daily life, which in turn will bring a lot of trouble to them.
As they often don’t have the ability to tell right from wrong, and lack necessary help and guidance, some lose their interest in studies and even learn something bad.
Yours sincerely
