在历年高考英语试题中,英语词序问题都作为一个重点测试项目,频繁出现。下面结合历年高考英语试题,对英语中词序考点问题举例分析。
一、 否定词放在句首时的词序
例:“Do you know Jim quarrelled with his brother?” “I don’t know,________.”
(91MET)
A. Nor don’t I care
B. Nor do I care
C. I don’t care neither
D. I don’t care also
析:答案为B。A项多了not,C项、D项分别要改neither, also为either。否定词作状语放在句首时要用倒装句,倒装句只需将情态动词、助动词、系动词be提至主语之前即可。 实义动词的倒装要在主语前面加助动词do, does, did等,此时谓语动词要用动词原形。常见的否定词或结构(包含否定意义的词语)有: neither, nor, never, hardly, little, seldom, scarcely, barely, nowhere, not until, no sooner ... than, hardly ... when, not only ... but also, at no time, not once, by no means等。例如:
Little did Einstein care for money.
By no means (Never, At no time) will that country be a superpower.
试题选练:

例:________ from the north to the south in winter.
A. Away do some birds fly
B. Away do a few animals run
C. Away fly some birds
D. Away run all the animals
析:答案为C。某些副词(如here, there, up, down, in, out 等)以及介词短语放在句首引起的倒装句(不可用助动词)要注意以下三点:
a. 主语是名词时(用完全倒装)把动词提至主语前:Here (In) came a lady.
b. 主语是代词时(用部分倒装)只将上述副词提至主语前即可:Here (In) he came.

三、 only + 状语放在句首时的词序
例: Only by practising a few hours every day ________ be able to master the language.
A. you can B. can you
C. you will D. will you
析:答案为D。由“only + 状语”引起的强调句放在句首时要用倒装结构,此结构只需把助动词、情态动词或系动词be提至主语前即可,故排除A、C。B中的can与be able to 意义重复故也排除。
试题选练:
1. Only in this way ________ progress in yourEnglish. (84MET)

B. can you make
C. you be able to make

例: So________ that no fish can live in it. (92上海)
A. the lake is shallow
B. shallow the lake is
C. shallow is the lake
D. is the lake shallow
析:答案为C。在so ... that句型中,当so 后的部分提到句首,如果句中谓语是系动词be的各种形式时,则用全部倒装;如果是实义动词时,则要用部分倒装(仅把do, does, did提前)。例如:
So hard does he study that he is sure to succeed.
试题选练:

例:________, Mother will wait for him to have dinner together.(97NMET)
A. However late is he
B. However he is late
C. However is he late
D. However late he is
析:答案为D。当how或however修饰形容词、副词时,要与被修饰的词一起提前。故排除 B、C。从句部分不可用倒装句,故A也排除。例如:
I don’t know how hard the problem is.
It’s useless however hard you try.
试题选练:
1. If we work with a strong will, we can overcome any difficulty, ________great it is.(95NMET)

六、虚拟语气省略if时的词序
例:________for the free tickets, I would not have gone to the films so often.(95上海)
A. If it is not B. Were it not
C. Had it not been D. If they were not
析:答案为C。这是一个与过去相反的虚拟条件从句的省略形式,当从句中的if省略时,从句要用倒装句。 这类倒装句只需将助动词、情态动词或系动词提至主语前即可。常见句式更换如下:
a. 与现在相反:If I were you (= Were I you), I would go with him.
b. 与过去相反:If I had had time then (=Had I had time then), I would have gone with you.
c. 与将来相反:If I were to visit (should visit) the Great Wall tomorrow, (= Were I to (Should I) visit the Great Wall tomorrow), I would take my son with me.
注意:在否定句中,not不可提至主语前。例如:
误:Weren’t I here now, I would be in the bus.
正:Were I not here now, I would be in the bus.

七、 as, though引导让步状语从句时的词序
例:________ , he doesn’t study well.(85MET)
A. As he is clever B. He is as clever
C. Clever as he is D. As clever he is
析:答案为C。as, though引导让步状语时要将句中作表语的形容词、 名词(前面不可用冠词)、作状语的副词或部分谓语动词提至as, though前。例如:
Child (Young) as she is, she knows a lot.

例:—John won the first prize in the contest.
— ________. (87MET)
A. So he did B. So did he
C. So he did, too D. So did he, too
析:答案为A。以so开头的句子, 如果是重复前面一句话的部分内容,该内容也适合另一人或物,要用倒装(但谓语要与前句谓语时态、形式一致)。例如:
He has got up, so have I.他起床了,我也起床了。
但so开头的句子,如果是重复前面一句话的意见,表示对上一句加以肯定,语序不必倒装。例如:
I have passed the maths exam. —So you have.(我数学考试及格了。——你确实考试及格了。)
试题选练:

例: If you don’t know the word, why don’t you ________ in the dictionary? (79MET)
A. look at it B. look after it
C. look up it D. look it up
析:答案为D。其意指“查(词典等)”。A意为“看”,B意为“照顾”,均不符合题意,故排除。由动词加副词构成的短语,其宾语是名词时,宾语可放在整个短语后面,也可插在动词与副词之间;但当宾语是代词时,代词宾语只能插在动词与副词之间。

—It was great. We visited some friends, and spent the ________days at the seaside. (95NMET)
A. few last sunny B. last few sunny
C. last sunny few D. few sunny last
析:答案为B。此题考测多个形容词或修饰语并列时的位置问题。多个修饰语并列修饰一个名词时的位置规则为:
a. 限定词(如a, the, all, many, little, first, last, these, this等)与数词同时出现时,序数词在前,基数词在后。
b. 多个形容词修饰名词时,通常按照这样的顺序:描述性质、特征的形容词(handsome, ugly),描述大小尺寸的形容词(small, large),描述形状的形容词(round, square),描述年龄的形容词(old, young),描述颜色的形容词(red, blue),描述来源(某国、某地)的形容词(American, Japanese),表明制造材料的形容词(silk, wooden),说明用途的动名词或形容词(a waiting room, a conference hall)。 也就是说,名词前形容词通常的顺序为:性质、特征,大小、尺寸,形状,年龄,颜色,来源,材料,用途,名词。例如:
He is a famous tall American writer.
This useless old geography book doesn’t belong to me.
试题选练:

十一、不定冠词的位置
例: (84MET) He is________ teacher that all of us like him.
A. a such good B. such good a
C. a so good D. so good a
析:答案为D。A、B中冠词的位置应放在such之后。C中冠词应放在good之后。当so与不定冠词a (an)连用时,a (an)要直接放在名词之前。类似结构有too (rather, quite) + adj. + a (an) + 名词。 例如:
He is so clever a boy that we all like him. = He is such a clever boy that we all like him.
如果此句改为复数时,只可用such ... that。例如:
They are such clever boys that we all like them.
试题选练:
1. ________ box cannot be lifted by a boy offive.(93上海)
A. So a heavy B. So heavy a
C. A such heavy D. Such heavy a
2. Can you believe that in ________ a rich country there should be ________ many poor people. (95NMET)
A. such; such B. such; so
C. so; so D. so; such
但是,当quite与a few, a little等连用时,由于a few, a little是固定用法,所以其中的冠词a不可放在quite前。例如:
3. I hear________ boys in your school like playing football in their spare time, though others prefer basketball.(06 辽宁)
A. quite a lot B. quite a few
C. quite a bit D. quite a little
Keys: 1-3 BBB
十二、 作后置修饰语的情况
例: “Mum, I think I’m ________ to get back to school.”“Not really, my dear, you’d better stay at home for another day or two.”
(93NMET)
A. so well B. so good
C. well enough D. good enough
析:此题答案为C。根据题意只能选well,意指“健康”。enough修饰形容词或副词时要放在所修饰的词之后。修饰名词时可置于名词之前或之后。例如:
We haven’t enough time / time enough to lose.
常见的几种修饰语后置的情况如下:
a. 形容词修饰something, nothing, anything, everything 等不定代词时要后置。present作“出席的”之意时,要放在所修饰词后。例如:
I have nothing new to tell you.
The people present are workers.
b. 副词或介词短语作定语时要后置。例如:
The man upstairs (in charge of the factory) often comes home very late.
c. 以a-开头的表语形容词(如alive, asleep, awake, alone等)作修饰语时通常后置。例如:
Do you know the greatest poet alive in your country?
d. 非谓语动词作定语时,通常要后置。例如:

十一、不定冠词的位置
例: (84MET) He is________ teacher that all of us like him.
A. a such good B. such good a
C. a so good D. so good a
析:答案为D。A、B中冠词的位置应放在such之后。C中冠词应放在good之后。当so与不定冠词a (an)连用时,a (an)要直接放在名词之前。类似结构有too (rather, quite) + adj. + a (an) + 名词。 例如:
He is so clever a boy that we all like him. = He is such a clever boy that we all like him.
如果此句改为复数时,只可用such ... that。例如:
They are such clever boys that we all like them.

2. Can you believe that in ________ a rich country there should be ________ many poor people. (95NMET)
A. such; such B. such; so
C. so; so D. so; such
但是,当quite与a few, a little等连用时,由于a few, a little是固定用法,所以其中的冠词a不可放在quite前。例如:
3. I hear________ boys in your school like playing football in their spare time, though others prefer basketball.(06 辽宁)

十二、 作后置修饰语的情况
例: “Mum, I think I’m ________ to get back to school.”“Not really, my dear, you’d better stay at home for another day or two.”
(93NMET)
A. so well B. so good
C. well enough D. good enough
析:此题答案为C。根据题意只能选well,意指“健康”。enough修饰形容词或副词时要放在所修饰的词之后。修饰名词时可置于名词之前或之后。例如:
We haven’t enough time / time enough to lose.
常见的几种修饰语后置的情况如下:
a. 形容词修饰something, nothing, anything, everything 等不定代词时要后置。present作“出席的”之意时,要放在所修饰词后。例如:
I have nothing new to tell you.
The people present are workers.
b. 副词或介词短语作定语时要后置。例如:
The man upstairs (in charge of the factory) often comes home very late.
c. 以a-开头的表语形容词(如alive, asleep, awake, alone等)作修饰语时通常后置。例如:
Do you know the greatest poet alive in your country?
d. 非谓语动词作定语时,通常要后置。例如:
The building built last year (being built now, to be built next year) will be equipped with computers.
