[句式分析]
(1)句中they were surprised to find属于“主语＋be＋形容词＋to do”结构。该结构的用法：
a．形容词往往是表示心理活动的词，如：surprised，moved，disappointed，pleased，happy，sad，delighted，sorry，interested，glad，worried，eager，anxious，angry等；
b．不定式作原因状语，表示产生这种心理活动的原因。 ①I'm glad ________． 我很高兴在这儿遇见你。
②John was pretty surprised to have received such an invitation. 收到这样一份请柬，约翰感到十分惊奇。 (2)not only...but (also)．..在句中连接两个并列谓语。not only...but (also)．..的常见用法：
a．用于连接两个并列成分；
b．连接的两个名词/代词作主语时，谓语动词与but(also)后的成分在人称和数上保持一致；
c．not only位于句首时，其后的分句要倒装。
③Not only were the crops damaged，but also many people died. 不仅庄稼受到了损害，而且许多人都死了。
④Not only I but also Tom and Mary ________ watching TV. 我、汤姆和玛丽都喜欢看电视。
答案：①to meet you here ④are fond of [重点提示]
not only...but also...，either...or....，neither...nor...在用法上有很多相同之处：
a．都连接两个并列成分；
b．连接的两个并列成分作主语时，谓语动词的人称和数采用“就近原则”。但not only位于句首时，其后的分句要采用倒装结构。它们各自的用法及辨析是高考考查的重点。
