thathecanhardlyaccompanyhiswifeandchildatweekends.A.themanagerhasbecome

B.becomesthemanagerC.hasbecomethemanager

D.hasthemanagerbecome参考答案：D考查so---that的部分倒装。句意：经理如此忙于生意结果他几乎不能在周末陪伴他的妻子和孩子。在so---that---引导的结果状语从句中，如果So+形容词或副词位于句首，则句子用部分倒装。故答案为D。【部分倒装】1、含有否定意义的副词位于句首时的倒装：在正式文体中，never,seldom,rarely,little,hardly,scarcely,nosooner,nolonger,nowhere等含有否定意义的副词若位于句首，则其后要用部分倒装：如：Ishallneverforgivehim./NevershallIforgivehim.我永远不会宽恕他。注：(1)对于not…until句型，当notuntil…位于句首时，其后的主句要用倒装语序：如：Hedidn'tleavetheroomuntiltherainstopped./Notuntiltherainstoppeddidheleavetheroom.雨停了之后他才离开这房间。(2)某些起副词作用的介词短语，由于含有否定词，若位于句首，其后要用部分倒装：如：Onnoaccountsmustthisswitchbetouched.这个开关是绝不能触摸的。2、“only+状语”位于句首时的倒装：当一个状语受副词only的修饰且置于句首时，其后用部分倒装语序：如：Onlythendidherealizethathewaswrong.到那时他才意识到他错了。

3、“so+形容词或副词”位于句首时的倒装：副词so后接形容词或副词位于句首时，其后用部分倒装：如：Socoldwastheweatherthatwehadtostayathome.天气太冷，我们只好呆在家里。

4、“So+助动词+主语”倒装：当要表示前面提出的某一肯定的情况也同样适合于后者，通常就要用“So+助动词+主语”这种倒装结构：如：YouareyoungandsoamI.你年轻，我也年轻。注：(1)若前面提出某一否定的情况，要表示后者也属于同样的否定情况，则应将其中的so改为neither或nor：如：Youaren'tyoungandneitheramI.你不年轻，我也不年轻。(2)注意该结构与表示强调或同意的“so+主语+特殊动词”结构的区别：如："Itwascoldyesterday.""Soitwas."“昨天很冷。”“的确很冷。”5、由notonly…butalso引出的倒装：当notonly…butalso位于句首引出句子时，notonly后的句子通常用部分倒装形式：如：Notonlyisheateacher,butheisalsoapoet.他不仅是一位教师，而且是一位诗人。6、虚拟条件句省略if后构成的倒装：当if引导的虚拟条件从句中含有had,were,should等时，如将if省略，则要将had,were,should等移到主语前，构成倒装句：如：Hadyoucomeyesterday,youwouldhaveseenhim.若你昨天来，你就会见到他了。18.Hewenttotheschoolgatetowaitforher________.A．asusual

【名师点睛】在完成完形填空时，我们可以从词汇和语法两个方面着手：（一）词汇

1．利用动词词组中的介词或副词确定正确选项

如果我们认识某一词组，可根据自己的判断毫不犹豫地选择你认为是正确的选项。如果

不认识或拿不准它们的意义，我们可以根据动词后边的介词或副词进行推导。

2．利用固定搭配或习惯用语高考完形填空中词汇题目涉及对各种短语、固定词组和惯用语的测试，其所占的比例相当大。测试范围包括动词短语、动词与其他词语构成的习语、介词短语、形容词短语等。这类词组主要是习惯性和固定搭配用法，不能主观臆测，也不能随意创造，只能靠死记硬背。

3．根据邻近原则，利用词语意义的互相联系，确定选择的依据。

（1）选项为名词时，其前后的名词为选择的依据。（2）选项为动词、动词词组（包括动名词、动词的分词形式）时，前后的动词、名词、介词为选择依据。

（3）选项为形容词时，可以其前后出现的名词、动词、副词、介词为依据。

（4）选项为副词时，其前后出现的动词、形容词、副词为判断依据。

（二）语法

熟悉历年考题中常出现的语法考点。分析前后分句间的逻辑等同关系，进行逻辑推理，从而确定正确选项在完型填空中，句子间的逻辑关系主要包括：

表示并列关系的连接词有and，while等。

表示转折关系的连接词有but，however，though，whereas，nevertheless，although，yet，onthecontrary，otherwise，ontheotherhand，afterall，forall，still，notwithstanding等。

表示顺序关系的连接词有before，after，and，tobeginwith，first，firstly，second，

secondly，出en，next，finally，andsoon等。

表示解释关系的连接词有thatistosay，inotherwords，toputitanotherway等。

表示因果关系的连接词有so，therefore，thus，because，accordingly，asaresult，

consequently，hence，forthisreason，for，since，as等。

表示让步关系的连接词有though，although，despite，inspiteof，afterall，eventhough，evenif,while，whereas等。

表示条件关系的连接词有it,unless，once，providedthat，incase（of）等。

表示附加说明、例证的连接词有likewise，similarly，inalikemanner，forexample，forinstance，incidentally，indeed，infact，inotherwords，inparticular，specifically，thatis，toillustrate等。

表示概括总结的连接词有so，inbrief，inshort，inconclusion，inaword，onthewhole，

generallyspeaking，

tosumup，

tosummarize，

toconclude等。三、阅读理解22.TherewasaboyinIndiawhowassentbyhisparentstoaboardingschool.Beforebeingsentawaythisboywasthebrighteststudentinhisclass.Hewasatthetopineverycompetition.Hewasachampion.Buttheboychangedafterleavinghomeandattendingtheboardingschool.Hisgradesstarteddropping.Hehatedbeinginagroup.Hewaslonelyallthetime.Andtherewereespeciallydarktimeswhenhefeltlikekillinghimself.Allofthiswasbecausehefeltworthlessandthatnoonelovedhim.Hisparentsstartedworryingabouttheboy.Buteventheydidnotknowwhatwaswrongwithhim.Sohisdaddecidedtotraveltotheboardingschoolandtalkwithhim.Theysatonthebankofthelakeneartheschool.Thefatherstartedaskinghimcasualquestionsabouthisclasses,teachersandsports.Aftersometimehisdadsaid,“Doyouknowson,whyIamheretoday?”Theboyansweredback,“tocheckmygrades?”“No,no”hisdadreplied,“Iamheretotellyouthatyouarethemostimportantpersonforme.Iwanttoseeyouhappy.Idon’tcareaboutgrades.Icareaboutyou.Icareaboutyourhappiness.YOUAREMYLIFE.”Thesewordscausedtheboy’seyestofillwithtears.Hehuggedhisdad.Theydidn’tsayanythingtoeachotherforalongtime.Nowtheboyhadeverythinghewanted.Heknewtherewassomeoneonthisearthwhocaredforhimdeeply.Hemeanttheworldtosomeone.Andtodaythisyoungmanisincollegeatthetopofhisclassandnoonehaseverseenhimsad!Thanksalot,dad.YOUAREMYLIFE.56.Theboychangedafterhewenttotheboardingschoolbecause________.A.hisgradeswerenotasgoodasbefore
