A．was; I had left

B．were; I have gone

C．was; had I left

D．were; did I leave

Answer 1

C

试题分析：考察主谓一致和倒装句。本题第一句的主语The singer together with her band，谓语动词与名词the singer保持一致，是单数形式。第二空是固定句式no sooner…than…一…就…；前面的no sooner是一个否定词，故使用倒装句的形式。因为后面使用了过去式sang，前面使用过去完成时的时态。句意：—这位歌手和他的乐队被邀请来参加本次音乐会。你喜欢这个聚会吗？—不，我一进去他们就在唱Oh My Baby。故C正确。
点评：部分倒装即只把谓语的一部分（如助动词、情态动词等）放到主语前，或把句子的强调成分提前。
Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he has always dreamt about（疾病没有使他放弃过上梦想中的生活）
1) 以否定词开头的句子要求部分倒装。注意下列句子中助动词或情态动词提前、甚至补充助动词的用法：
例：Not until yesterday did little John change his mind.（小约翰直到昨天才改变了主意。）
In no country other than Britain, it had been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.（据说除了英国世界上没有哪个国家能让人在一天中感受到四季变化）
2) 以否定副词开头并加状语放在句首的句子要求部分倒装。这些否定副词有barely, hardly, little, seldom, scarcely…… when, never, no sooner…… than, rarely, no more, not nearly, not only等以及only。
Only in the country can you learn the “true English”.
3）一些如scarcely……when, no sooner ……than, hardly……when引导的主从复合句主句要求使用过去完成式。
注意：在部分倒装句中，只有助动词、情态动词或连系动词to be可以置于主语之前，其它部分都要置于主语之后。
