3. B。not only ... but also ... (不但……而且……) 引导的并列句中，not only位于句首时，它引导的句子要使用部分倒装形式，but also引导的句子则不用倒装形式。

[提示]
高考中常见的几个复合句型的倒装形式:
1. not until ... (直到……才……)； no sooner ... than ... / hardly ... when ... (一……就……)； so ... that ... (如此……以至……) 引导从句并置于句首时，主句要采用部分倒装形式。如:
   Not until she got home did she realize that she had lost her keys.
   No sooner had she fallen asleep than a knock at the door awakened her.
   So clearly does he speak that we all understand what he says.
2. not only ... but also ... (不但……而且……)引导的并列句中，not only位于句首时，其后的分句要用倒装语序，but also后的分句不用倒装语序。如：
   Not only will help be given to find jobs, but also medical treatment will be provided for people who need it.

3. neither ..., nor ... (既不……, 也不……)中，如果neither和nor分别位于分句句首，则两个分句都要进行部分倒装；如果neither不位于句首，而nor位于分句句首时，则nor引导的分句进行部分倒装。如:

   Sam neither has long hair, nor does he wear jeans.

二、only引起的倒装

2. D。only强调状语放在句首, 其后分句进行部分倒装, 且该句谓语是过去的动作, 用一般过去时。

only修饰主语位于句首时，不需要倒装。如:

1. D。表否定意义的副词little位于句首时，句子要进行部分倒装。
2. A。seldom为表否定的副词，放在句首时，其后分句进行部分倒装，本句是现在与以前进行比较，要用现在完成时，故选A项。
3. B。介词短语位于句首时，其后句子要进行完全倒装。stand表示“矗立，坐落”；lie表示“位于，存在”。由于主语是lakes，所以stand不合适。故选B项。
[提示]
1. 表否定意义的副词或短语never, no, hardly, scarcely, seldom, little, not, nowhere, rarely, at no time, in no case, under / in no circumstances等放于句首时，其后句子要进行部分倒装。
2. here， there， out， in， down， away等表示地点或方位的副词或at the foot of, in the distance, in the east of等表示地点的介词短语放于句首时，要进行完全倒装；若主语是代词，则需要正常语序，主谓语不倒装。

2. B。同上。
[提示]
as 和though引导让步状语从句的倒装形式是：动词 / 名词 / 形容词 / 副词 + as / though + 主语 + 谓语。
五、虚拟语气中的倒装

[提示]
     虚拟语气的条件从句中，如果有were / should / had，则可以省略if，把were / should / had提到句首。如：
     Should it rain tomorrow, we would have to put off the visit to the Great Wall.
 Had it not been for the free tickets, I would not have gone to the film so often.
