近年來試題對倒裝的考查一般結合其它語法現象和習慣句型進行。如虛擬語氣中條件從句的倒裝;no sooner...than，not until等引起的倒裝等。
熱點之一：含有否定意義的副詞放在句首引起的部分倒裝
此類副詞有：not，never，seldom，hardly，rarely，little等。例如：
Not a single word did he say at the meeting.(在會上，他什么也沒說。)
【原題重現】1.The old couple have been married for 40years and never once ____ with each other.(NMET 2003)
A.they had quarreled
B.they have quarreled
C.have they quarreled
D.had they quarreled(key：C)
【簡析】本題中關鍵詞是never這一副詞，與現在完成時態連用引起部分倒裝。
【原題重現】2.Not a single song ____ at yesterday’s party.(2001上海)
A.she sang B.sang she
C.did she sing D.she did sing
(key：C)
【簡析】本題是否定副詞not與一般過去時態共同形成的部分倒裝。
熱點之二：含有否定意義的連接詞置于句首引起的部分倒裝
此類連接詞有：not only...but also，neither...nor...，no sooner...than，scarcely...when，hardly...when等。請看例句：
No sooner had she gone out than the telephone rang.(她一出門電話就響了。)
【原題重現】3.Not only ____ interested in football but ____ beginning to show an interest in it.(2002上海春)
A.the teacher himself is;all his students are
B.the teacher himself is ;are all his students
C.is the teacher himself ;are all his students
D.is the teacher himself ;all his students are(key：D)
【簡析】包含not only...but(also)結構的句子，如果not only置于句首，not only所在句子要形成部分倒裝，but(also)后面的句子不要倒裝。
熱點之三：搞清so(nor ，neither)+助動詞+主語與so(nor ，neither)+主語+助動詞之間的區別
前者表示重復前句部分的內容，譯為“也是如此”。而后者表示對前句內容的進一步肯定或證實，譯為“確實如此”。例如：
Lily can’t answer the question.Neither can I.(莉莉不能回答這個問題。我也不能。)
Tom was late for school yesterday.So he was.(湯姆昨天上學遲到了。他確實如此。)
【原題重現】4.—David has made great progress recently.
—____，and ____.(1997上海)
A.So he has;so you have
B.So he has;so have you
C.So has he;so have you
D.So has he;so you have(key：B)
【簡析】前半部分意為“他的確如此”，對以上事實進一步肯定;后半部分意為“你也是如此”，屬于部分倒裝。
熱點之四：省略if的虛擬條件句以had /were /should開頭引起的部分倒裝
這是虛擬語氣中比較特殊的一種，其實質就是省略if后引起的變化。如：
Had he worked harder，he would have got through the exams.(要是他努力學習的話，他是會通過考試的。)
【原題重現】5.____ for the free tickets，I would not have gone to see the films so often.(1995上海)
A.If it is not B.Were it not
C.Had it not been
D.If they were not(key：C)
【簡析】在虛擬語氣中表達與過去事實相反的假設，主句用would have +過去分詞，從句用had +過去分詞，省略If后就將助動詞had提前引起部分倒裝。
熱點之五：not until置于句首引起后面句子的部分倒裝
not until意為“直到……才……”，位于句首時引起后面的主句倒裝。如：
Not until the teacher came did he finish his homework.(直到老師來了他才完成作業。)
【原題重現】6.Not until all the fish died in the river ____ how serious the pollution was.(NMET1995)
A.did the villagers realize
B.the villagers realize
C.the villagers did realize
D.didn’t the villagers realize(key：A)
【簡析】本題便是not until置于句首引起的部分倒裝。
熱點之六：only短語置于句首引起的部分倒裝
only放在句首，修飾副詞、介詞短語或狀語從句，常引起后面句子部分倒裝。如：
Only in this way can you learn English well.(只有通過這種方式，你才能把英語學好。)
【原題重現】7.____ can you expect to get a pay rise.(2001春)
A.With hard work B.Although work hard
C.Only with hard work
D.Now that he works hard(key：C)
【簡析】only位于句首與介詞短語構成了部分倒裝，其他選項均不能引起倒裝。
【原題重現】8.Only in this way ____ to make improvement in the operating system.(2003上海春)
A.you can hope B.you did hope
C.can you hope D.did you hope(key：C)
【簡析】本題中only置于句首修飾介詞短語，引起句子部分倒裝。因為句意表達的是一種條件，所以使用助動詞did不合題意。
