Grammar
Ellipsis
省略
What is ellipsis?And why
定义:为了使语言简洁化、并且为了避免重复,省略句中的一个或几个成分,这种语法现象称为省略(Ellipsis)。
一般来说,只要不损害结构或引起歧义,能省略的地方就可以省略。
省略的意义:可使语言更加简洁,意思更加明确,句子结构更加紧凑。
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a It's just typical that my journey is on one of the
oldest lines, as well as one of the deepest.
b My office is only on the third floor of the
building, so quite low.
Compare them with the following sentences and answer the questions.
What has been left out in sentences (a) and (b)
c It's just typical that my journey is on one of the
oldest lines, as well as one of the deepest lines.
d My office is only on the third floor of the
building, so it is quite low.
Why does the author leave them out
“Lines” has been left out in sentence (a), and “it is” has been left out in sentence (b).
The author leaves them out to avoid repeating the word or expressions that is too obvious, and to make the sentences more concise(简洁的).
Find out what words have been removed before or after the underlined words.
Technology isn’t the only way to forecast the weather.
Nature has its ways, too. Unusual animal behaviour,
for example, can indicate whether it’s cold, wet
weather that’s on the way or a hot, dry period. If fish
are jumping higher than usual or frogs are croaking
more loudly, it may rain. And next time you look up at
the sky, don’t just look for rain clouds, but also for birds.
If they are flying low, grab your umbrella. It is also said that mice and snakes head for safer ground several
days before an earthquake, while dogs avoiding the
Beach may be a sign that a tsunami is approaching.
Of course, although these things may suggest
something bad is going to happen, they won’t tell us
when and where. So, for accurate and reliable
predictions, it’s best to check an official, scientific
report.

Remove words from the news report to make it more concise.
China’s rescue efforts in Nepal
The 8.1 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal on 25 April 2015, was one of the worst earthquakes in history. On hearing the news, China was quick to start organising emergency aid.
International rescue teams soon began to arrive in the country. Amongst all the international heavy rescue teams, the China International Search and Rescue Team(CISAR) was the first international heavy rescue team to arrive. Consisting of 62 people, it not only included rescuers and medical staff, but also included earthquake experts. By early May, emergency aid worth 9.7 million US dollars had been donated by China, with a further round of emergency aid to follow.
