省略句考点讲义【精讲版】
有关省略结构的重要练习题与对应知识点总结
是反意问句还是省略句
请看下面一题,是考查反意疑问句还是考查省略句?
Many people have become rich by working hard, __________ you
A. are B. have C. aren’t D. haven’t
此题应选B。容易误选C,D,误认为这是反意疑问句。其实这是一个省略句,补全为。如:
Many people have become rich by working hard; have you become rich by working hard too 许多人通过勤劳致了富,你也通过勤劳致富了吗
又如。如:
Many young people like the book. Do you 许多年轻人喜欢这本书,你喜欢吗
He will leave for Japan next week. Will you 他下星期要去日本,你去吗
We all want to attend the meeting; do you 我们都想参加这次会议,你想参加吗
以下各句情况也有些类例。如:
1. —I met Mr Smith last Sunday 上个星期天我遇到史密斯先生了。
—Oh, did you 哦,是吗
2. —He has come back already 他已经回来了
—Oh, has he 哦,是吗
3. —Soon he will marry his cousin. 他不久将同他 表妹结婚。
—Oh, will he 哦,是吗
4. —Jim, why weren’t you telling the truth 你为 什么不讲真话
—But I was. 但我讲的是真话。
句末的介词可以省略吗
请看下面的句子,句末的介词可以省略吗?
It is too small a room for us __________.
A. to live B. to live in C. living D. living in
此题应选B。从结构上看,句子前部的too small...应连用一个不定式,所以选项C,D不宜选择。至于为什么要选B 而不选A,这是因为有些用作后置定语的不定式与它所修饰的名词有动宾关系,此时若不定式是不及物动词,则应在其后加上适当的介词。如:
He has no pens to write with. 他没有钢笔写字。
Give me a chair to sit on. 给我一把椅子坐。
He has a lot of things to attend to. 他有许多事要管。
I’ve to find a large bag to put these things in. 我得找一个大袋子来装这些东西。
The child has no toys to play with. 这小孩没有玩具玩。
He is a very nice person to work with. 他是个很好共事的人。
There is nothing (for us) to worry about. 没什么值得发愁的。
Please give me some paper to write on. 请给我一些纸来写字。
有时句子主语与其后的不定式有动宾关系,若不定式是不及物动词,同样要考虑加适当的介词。如:
The room is too small for us to live in. 这房间太小,我们住不下。
如何理解这个if not better than
这样一道题:
Jim plays football as well as,if __________ than,Mike.
A. no better B. not better C. no good D. not good
此题应选B。容易误选A。这是一个省略句,其中的 if not better than=if he doesn’t play football better than。全句意为:吉姆踢足球如果不是比迈克踢得更好,至少也是一样好。
请做以下类似试题:
1. Her pronunciation is as good as,if _________ than,her teacher’s.
A. no better B. not better C. no good D. not good
2. This bridge is as strong as,if _________ than,that one.
A. no stronger B. not stronger C. no strong D. not strong
3. In that business,he earned as much as,if _________than,$40000.
A. no more B. not more C. no much D. not much
4. He has been to Guilin as many as,if_________ than,ten times.
A. no more B. not more C. no much D. not much
答案:1. B 2. B 3. B 4. B
