省略句英语
考点一、状语从句中的省略
(1) 当主句主语与从句主语相同(或从句主语为it),并且从句谓语中含be动词,常将从句主语和be动词省略,构成省略形式。
(2) as / than引导比较状语从句时,从句通常使用省略形式。如:He earns less than his wife (does).
【考例】The climate here is quite pleasant, the temperature rarely, ____, reaching 30°C in summer.
A. if not
B. if ever
C. if any
D. if so
解析:B。
当从句中的主语是it,谓语动词中又含有系动词be时,可以把it和系动词be一起省略。if ever与rarely连用,意为“极少”。
考点二、动词不定式的省略
【考例1】 Let those in need ____ that we will go all out to help them.
A. to understand
B. understand
C. understanding
D. understood
解析:B。
let sb do sth使役动词后面的动词不定式符号to省略。
【考例2】 The driver wanted to park his car near the roadside but was asked by the police _____.
A. not to do
B. not to
C. not do
D. do not
解析:B。
“在路边停车”这一动作前面已经提到,所以后面应省略以使句子简洁。
考点三、使用替代词so / not
英语中常用so / not等来代替省略的肯定内容或否定内容,多跟在I’m afraid / I hope / I think / I guess / I believe / I expect / I suppose等开头的答语中,条件状语从句中也有类似的用法。 如: if so / if not句中。
【考例1】
—You could always put the decision off a little bit longer.
—____ If I leave it much longer I might miss my chance.
A. That’s reasonable advice.
B. Isn’t it a good idea?
C. Do you think so?
D. I can’t agree more.
解析:C。
第二个人不是肯定第一个人的意见,用Do you think so? 先进行反问,然后给出自己的观点。
考点四、情景交际中的省略
在情景对话中,常常省略大家都知道的内容或不会引起歧义的部分,只保留主干部分或关键词。
【考例】
—Mary’s been offered a job in a university, but she doesn’t want to take it.
—____? It’s a very good chance.
A. Guess what
B. So what
C. Who cares
D. But why
解析:D。
But why(但是为什么)是But why(doesn’t she want to take it)?的省略。
