【溫馨提示】 (1)search在作名詞用時，前面一般有a，the或物主代詞等限定詞，這時在其后既可跟of也可跟for，但意義不一樣。跟of時表示的是動賓關系，of后面的名詞是“被搜的對象”；跟for時后面的名詞則是“尋找的目標”。(2)in search of是個固定習語，of后面的名詞一定是“尋找的目標”。如果search前有物主代詞或不定冠詞修飾，用介詞for，即in a/one’s search for。

句型解析
1【教材原句】 However，police found that Justin did in fact return home on Friday night at about 11 p．m..(P2)
然而，警方發現賈斯汀確實在周五夜里大約11點鐘返回過家中。
【句法分析】 “do/does/did＋動詞原形”用于肯定陳述句中，加強語氣。
【溫馨提示】 (1)這種強調句只有一般現在時和一般過去時。
(2)只對肯定句的謂語動詞進行強調，沒有否定式和疑問式。
(3)do/does/did在句中要重讀。
(4)在祈使句中使用時，往往不表示命令，而表示強烈的請求，有時也表達更加客氣的語氣。
18．Cars moved very slowly in the 1930s，but they ________ faster than in the 1920s.
A．were moving B．did move
C．had moved D．would move
解析：選B。考查強調句。句意：在20世紀30年代汽車行駛得非常慢，但是他們確實比20世紀20年代行駛得快多了。do/does/did＋動詞原形，是強調的一種形式，根據句子的時態改變助動詞的形式。在本句中由時間狀語in the 1920s可知應用一般過去時。
★19.The little girl is generally healthy，but every now and then she ________ a cold.
A．has caught B．is catching
C．will catch D．does catch
解析：選D。does是助動詞，用于肯定句中，對謂語動詞catch加以強調。句意為：這小女孩總的來說很健康，但偶爾的確會感冒。選項A、B、C表示的三種時態均不合題意。
2【教材原句】 Standing inside were lots of whiteMskinned，strangeMlooking creatures with large black eyes.(P3)
(飛船里)站著很多白皮膚的、奇形怪狀的、眼睛又大又黑的生物。
【句法分析】 這是一個倒裝句，主語是lots of whiteMskinned，strangeMlooking creatures with large black eyes。因為creatures是復數形式，所以動詞用復數形式的were。因為主語較長，句子倒裝避免了頭重腳輕。
20．(2009年高考江蘇卷)Distinguished guests and friends，welcome to our school.________ the ceremony of the 50th Anniversary this morning are our alumni(校友)from home and abroad.
A．Attend B．To attend
C．Attending D．Having attended
解析：選C。考查倒裝語序。從題意可知，說話人是在介紹嘉賓，因此應該使用現在進行時，表示出席50周年校慶儀式的有……因為主語較長，因此把Attending the ceremony提到前面以保持句子結構的平衡。
21．(2010年重慶模擬)Eventually they arrived at a cave，________.
A．in front of that there stood a strange tree
B．in front of which stood a strange tree
C．in front of that stood a strange tree
D．in front of where there stood a strange tree
解析：選B。考查倒裝句。in front of which stood a strange tree是一個非限制性定語從句，修飾cave。
