托福閱讀倒裝句的5個解題技巧。托福閱讀考試之所以成為部分同學的絆腳石，除了詞匯量較大以外，句子結構復雜也是新托福閱讀的障礙之一。倒裝句在托福閱讀考試中，也會增加同學們的閱讀難度。

    　托福閱讀中的倒裝句主要有下列情況：

　　1.方位副詞放在句首

　　Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine。

　　2.介詞放在句首

　　Among the species of seabirds that use the windswept cliffs of the Atlantic coast of Canada in the summer to mate， lay eggs， and rear their young are common murres， Atlantic puffins， black-legged kittiwakes， and northern gannets。

　　3. 形容詞放在句首

　　Implicit in it is an aesthetic principle as well： that the medium has certain qualities of beauty and expressiveness with which sculptors must bring own aesthetic sensibilities into harmony。

　　4.過去分詞放在句首

　　Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”， the film has never been， in the full sense of the word， silent。

　　5.現在分詞放在句首

　　Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate， or transitional， between land mammals and cetaceans。

　　句子倒裝的目的主要有兩個：

　　一是被提前的部分被強調，如上述的第四句：Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”，其中的accustomed按照正常語序應該放在are之后：Though we are accustomed to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”。之所以將accustomed提前，是為了強調它。二是為了句子的平衡，否則將導致頭重腳輕的效果，如上述的第一句、第三句和第五句。以第五句為例，按照正常語序應該是：Fossils clearly intermediate， or transitional， between land mammals and cetaceans were missing until recently。但是這種句子結構比較糟糕，因為主語及其修飾語過長(從句首直到cetaceans)，而謂語部分were missing until recently較短，容易造成頭重腳輕的效果。第五句將missing提前，避免了這一現象。

　　托福閱讀中為了考試時能迅速把握句子的主干，大家需要進行更多的閱讀和分析，每種托福閱讀難句類型都有一定的練習，在不斷的練習中自己總結不同類型文章的行文思路，不同類型考題的答題技巧，練得多了考試時就能駕輕就熟了。
