高考英語語法——省略句

省略句的基本情況總結(jié)
省略句的基本情況分為以下三個(gè)方面:
1.為避免重復(fù)而進(jìn)行的省略。
當(dāng)一個(gè)句子中有兩個(gè)或更多相同的詞、短語出現(xiàn)時(shí),其中的第一個(gè)須保留,其余的往往省略,以達(dá)到避免重復(fù)、使句子簡練的目的。高考中尤其要注意的情況是:當(dāng)時(shí)間狀語從句、地點(diǎn)狀語從句、方式狀語從句、讓步狀語從句、條件狀語從句等狀語從句中的主語與主句的主語一致并含有be時(shí),往往將該狀語從句中的主語和be一同省略。例如: He hurt himself while (he was) playing basketball.他在打籃球時(shí)受了傷。// He works very hard though (he is) still rather weak.他雖然身體還很虛弱,但他非常努力地工作。
2.語法上的省略。
有些成分的省略是出于語法上的原因——使表述更為簡明,例如: He got up at six (o’clock).他六點(diǎn)鐘起床。// He is twelve (years old).他十二歲。// I walked (for) ten miles.我走了十英里路。
3.習(xí)慣用法上的省略。
有些省略句的情況是出于習(xí)慣用法,尤其是在口語中。例如,在問句中be常常省略,有時(shí)連主語一起省略: Very easy?很簡單嗎?// Feeling unwell?感覺不舒服嗎?
又如以what, how或why開頭的某些問句: What (happened) next?下面要發(fā)生什么?// Why not?為什么不?// Why so?為什么這樣?
備考高考需要重點(diǎn)理解“為避免重復(fù)而進(jìn)行的省略”這一情況。
[考題1] He has made a lot of films, but ____ good ones. (2007北京)
A. any B. some C. few D. many
。鄞鸢福 C
。劢馕觯菹聞澗處之前的but決定了只能選擇具有否定含義的選項(xiàng)C。題干中的“few good ones”為省略句形式,單獨(dú)看起來不好理解,應(yīng)聯(lián)系上文理解為“He has made few good films.”
。劭碱}2] ____ and I’ll get the work finished. (2006重慶)
A. Have one more hour B. One more hour
C. Given one more hour D. If I have one more hour
。鄞鸢福 B
。劢馕觯荼硎緯r(shí)間的名詞one more hour在這里相當(dāng)于祈使句“Give me one more hour.”,與and后面的陳述句并列,表示時(shí)間的名詞經(jīng)?梢砸詥为(dú)出現(xiàn)的省略形式表示一個(gè)祈使句的含義。
[考題3] After he became conscious, he remembered ____ and ____ on the head with a rod. (2006江西)
A. to attack; hit B. to be attacked; to be hit
C. attacking; be hit D. having been attacked; hit
。鄞鸢福 D
。劢馕觯荼硎舅逍阎蠡貞浧疬^去發(fā)生的情況,應(yīng)選用動名詞的形式而不是不定式的形式,先排除選項(xiàng)A和B;由于主語是被襲擊,應(yīng)表示出被動語態(tài),進(jìn)一步排除C而選出D。D選項(xiàng)中的hit前省略了與其并列的賓語當(dāng)中相同的“having been”。
。劭碱}4] The police found that the house ____ and a lot of things ____.(1990)
A. has broken into; has been stolen
B. had broken into; had been stolen
C. has been broken into; stolen
D. had been broken into; stolen
。鄞鸢福 D
。劢馕觯 主句謂語動詞found后有兩個(gè)并列的賓語從句, 兩個(gè)賓語從句中的主語the house和a lot of things都是物, 兩個(gè)賓語從句中的謂語動詞都應(yīng)采用過去完成時(shí)的被動語態(tài)形式來表示在警方發(fā)現(xiàn)之前已經(jīng)完成的被動動作, 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中前半部分采用了過去完成時(shí)的被動語態(tài)形式的只有選項(xiàng)D, 因此應(yīng)選D。本題第二個(gè)下劃線處采用了stolen的形式, 這屬于為避免重復(fù)而省略的形式, 省略了與前一賓語從句相同的成分had been。
。劭碱}5] One of the sides of the board should be painted yellow, and ____. (2000北京、安徽春)
A. the other is white B. another white
C. the other white D. another is white
。鄞鸢福 C
。劢馕觯萏刂改景宓牧硪粋(cè)應(yīng)使用定冠詞the,因此首先要排除表示泛指意義的選項(xiàng)B和D;又因?yàn)锳選項(xiàng)不能表示出與前面分句一致的被動動作,因此選C。本題下劃線處采用了the other white的形式,這屬于為避免重復(fù)而使用的省略句,其完整形式為“the other side of the board should be painted white”。
。劭碱}6] The research is so designed that once ____ nothing can be done to change it. (2002)
A. begins B. having begun C. beginning D. begun
[答案] D
。劢馕觯 once后省略了it(指前面剛被提及的the research) is,下劃線表示一個(gè)“(研究)被開始,被啟動”的被動動作,應(yīng)該采用過去分詞的形式,因此本題選D。注意:本題題干中省略的it(the research) is是順承上文而自然進(jìn)行的省略,被省略后仍可以很清楚地把握它的意思,而且使得整個(gè)句子更為簡練。
。劭碱}7] He speaks English well indeed, but of course not ____ a native speaker. (2004上海)
A. as fluent as B. more fluent than
C. so fluently as D. much fluently than
[答案] C
。劢馕觯 but在本題中作并列連詞連接兩個(gè)分句, 后一分句屬于省略句, 為了避免重復(fù)而省略了主句中的主語he和比較狀語從句中的謂語speaks English, 由此可以看出題干中是在對he和a native speaker說英語的熟練程度進(jìn)行比較。說英語的熟練程度應(yīng)選用副詞fluently, 所以首先排除選項(xiàng)A、 B; much fluently than中than前面沒有出現(xiàn)fluently的比較級的形式, 應(yīng)進(jìn)一步排除選項(xiàng)D而選出C。
。劭碱}8] No matter how frequently ____, the works of Beethoven still attract people all over the world. (2006廣東)
A. performed B. performing
C. to be performed D. being performed
。鄞鸢福 A
。劢馕觯蓊}干中讓步狀語從句的原型為no matter how frequently they are performed(無論這些作品是如何經(jīng)常地被表演),其中的they are可以省略。
。劭碱}9] The flowers his friend gave him will die unless ____ every day. (2007四川)
A. watered B. watering C. water D. to water
。鄞鸢福 A
。劢馕觯輻l件狀語從句的主語是被省略掉的與主句主語相同的the flowers,由于下劃線要表示“(花)被澆水”的被動動作,因此只能選表示被動動作的選項(xiàng)A, watered之前可以加上被省略的they are。
