Question

At no time ________ the rules of the game.It was unfair to punish them.

A．they actually broke           B．do they actually break

C．did they actually break        D．they had actually broken

Answer

C

【解析】

试题分析：考查倒装。否定介词短语位于句首，用部分倒装。根据后面“it was unfair to punish them”中谓语是过去时，所以选C而不选B。

【名师点睛】含有否定意义的词never，seldom，little. hardly，not，scarcely，nowhere，by no means(决不)等置于句首时，用部分倒装。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。
