The local government announced that only when the fire was under control ________ to return to their homes. A．the residents would be allowed B．had the residents been allowed C．would the residents be allowed D．the residents had been allowed

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考查Only引导的部分倒装句。Only引导的倒装句要满足两个条件，only放在句首，且强调的是状语。本题only放在了后面句子的句首，强调是是时间状语从句when the fire was under control。故使用部分倒装的形式。句意：当地政府宣布，只有当大火被控制住以后，据居民们才可以返回家中。故C正确。 点评：部分倒装中考查较多的有：(1) 含有否定意义的词never，seldom，little. hardly，not，scarcely，nowhere，by no means(决不)等置于句首时。(2)以only修饰作为状语的副词、介词短语或从句，且放在句首时。　注意：only 修饰状语从句放在句首时，状语从句不需要倒装，只能倒装主句部分。(3)当so置于句首意为“也如此”，neither，nor置于句首意为“也不”时。当so表示对前句内容的肯定和附和，译作“确实，正是”时，用自然语序。(4)当not only…but also, so／such…that, not… until, no sooner… than, hardly… when等连词置于句首时。(5)在as引导的让步状语从句中(名词／形容词/副词／动词+as+主谓结构)。(6)虚拟语气的条件状语从句省去 if时，须将were，had，should提到句首构成倒装句。(7)频度副词often, always, once, now and then, every other day, many a time等放在句首时。(8)为了使句子保持平衡，为了强调表语或为了使上下文紧密衔接时，常使用倒装语序。
