Down it dropped. 直接引语的部分或全部放在句首时，如： 1) “Who will come here to help you?” asked the teacher. 2) “I dont think he will come.” said the girl. 当介词短语在句首时，如： 1) In front of the old house sat an old woman. 2) On the top of the mountain stands a tower. 部分倒装 only所修饰的副词,介词短语和状语从句放 在句首时，如： 1) Only then did he know that he was rejected by the boss. 2) Only in this way can you collect more stamps. 3) Only when her father came back was she able to go to school.一些含有否定意义的副词或连词 如hardly, never, not, not only, little, seldom, no sooner放在句首时， 如：v1) Never have I been to the mountain village.v2) Not a single word did he write in the class.v3) Little did the boy know the rules of English grammar.c.用so作简单回答时表明前面说的情况也适 用于另一个人，如： He likes swimming in summer very much. So do I. We saw the football match last week. So did they. The girl can speak fluent English. So can the boy.vd. 用neither, nor放在句首, 表示前面 的否定内容也同样适合另外一个人，v 如：v 1) He has never been to Shanghai. Neither have I.v 2) He didnt find any useful material in the book. Nor did I.Match the definitions with the correct words1.a child whose parents are dead2.a Victorian home for poor people3.to happen4.to be extremely hungry and weak5.a very long story6.a person who writes novels(a)novelist(b)take place(c) Orphan(d) workhouse(e)novel(f)starveGrammar(2): Emphatic Sentences It is/was.who/ that.句型 这是一个最常见的强调句型。利用这种句 型可以强调除谓语动词外的大多数句子成分 ，所强调的可以是单词、短语，也可以是从 句，但结构必须完整。被强调的成分可以是 主语、宾语和状语，但不能是定语或谓语。 引导词it置于句首，后接动词be（一般是is 或was），再加上强调的部分，再接that- /who-从句。如： Jack missed the first lesson yesterday because he was caught in the traffic jam. It was Jack who missed the first lesson yesterday because he was caught in the traffic jam. (强调主语) It was because Jack was caught in the traffic jam that he missed the first lesson yesterday. ( 强调状语) It was the first lesson yesterday that Jack missed because he was caught in the traffic jam. (强调宾语) 注意： 判断It is/was 这样的句型是不是强调句 ，只须把It is/was和who/ that去掉，如果意 思是完整的，就是强调句。反之，就不是。 就为例，去掉It is/was和who/ that，意思 没有改变，仍然是一个完整的句子，因为引 导词It is/was. 和who/ that不充当句子成分。 如果强调的部分是表示人的名词或人称代 词，多数情况下用who，如上面的例句。如 果被强调的是人称代词，要用主格形式，非 正式文体中多用宾格(如me, him等)，但不可 取。如： It was I (me) who told the police 若强调否定词，它的结构形式是：It +be not+中心成份+thatwho分句。如： I didnt come back till the day before yesterday. It was not till the day before yesterday that I come back.1.warden(a)a person whose job is to control the boys(b)a person whose job is to make sure the boys are happy2.appetite(a)the feeling of wanting to eat(b)the feeling of wanting to drinkLook at the words from the passage and choose the best meaning.3.pick out (a) to pick something up from the ground (b) to choose one person or thing from a group4.nudge (a) to push someone a little with a part of your body (b) to kick someone5.misery(a)great anger(b)great unhappiness6.hang someone(a)to put someone in prison(b)to kill someone by pulling a rope tightly around his/her neckAstonishment Companion Courage Desperate Eager EmployReward Seize Support WhisperComplete the sentence with the correct form of the words in the box.1.he tried to find work, but no one wanted to _ him.2.the boy_ the bowl of soup and started to eat it.3.when Mr Bumble returned to the room, the boys started _ to each other.4.Oliver and his _ had very little to eat.5.when he told them what had happened, th
