高考英语陷阱题中的省略

省略是为了避免重复、突出新信息而省略句中的一个或者几个句子成分并使上下文紧密连接的一种语法修辞手段,在语言应用中,尤其在对话中,是一种十分普遍的现象。在英语考试中,也经常会采用微型语境的方法,使用省略手段来设计考试陷阱,增加考试的难度。在考试陷阱中,所涉及的省略情况一般有:词的省略、句子成分的省略、多个成分的同时省略等。

一、承前省略陷阱

所谓承前省略指的是当前后两句结构相同时,通常可将后一结构与前一结构相同的部分省略,从而使句子更简洁。一般说来,这种省略考生是可以根据上下文的语境做出正确理解的,但是,当这种省略与其他英语句型相似并很容易发生混淆时,就可能张冠李戴,步入误区。如果命题者刚好抓住这一点来巧妙设题,就很可能构成有一定难度的陷阱题。如:

1.—What should I do with this passage?

—______the main idea of each paragraph.(2005重庆卷)

A. Finding out

B. Found out

C. Find out

D. To find out

【分析】答案选C。很容易误选A或D,误认为这是考查非谓语动词。根据问句可知,完整的答语应是Y ou should find out...,此处是承前省略了Y ou should,所以就是Find out。

2. My friend Mary is______beautiful girl and______girl everyone likes to work with.

A. a, a

B. a,the

C. the, a

D. the,the

【分析】此题很容易误选B,认为第一次提到girl用不定冠词,第二次提到就应该用定冠词。但其实最佳答案是A。句中第二次提到girl 时并不是特指的,此句实为一省略句,补充完整为My friend Mary is

a beautiful girl and she is a girl everyone likes to work with.请再看两道题(答案选A):

(1) Jim is______brave boy and______boy never fearing anything.

A. a, a

B. a,the

C. the, a

D. the,the

(2) It is ______really useful dictionary and_____dictionary every one of us needs.

A. a, a

B. a,the

C. the, a

D. the,the

3. “What made her struggle to become an artist so hard?”“ ______ she was a woman.”

A. /

B. When

C. That

D. What

【分析】此题最佳答案选C。that 用以引导主语从句(此that 不可省略),其后的谓语和宾语等被省略,若补充完整,即That she was a woman made her struggle to become an artist so hard.下面两题选A,理由同上:

(1)“What made her so happy?”“______her son passed driving test.”

A. That

B. 不填

C. Since

D. For

(2)“What were you trying to prove to the police?”“_______I was last night.”

A. Where

B. When

C. That

D. What

4. If the weather is fine,we’ll go. If______,_____ .

A. not,not

B. no,no

C. not,no

D. no,not

【分析】此题应选A。If not,not. 为If the weather is NOT fine,we will NOT go之省略。全句意为“如果天气好,我们就去;如果天气不好,我们就不去”。该句的特点是:后句与前句的用词和句式完全相同,只是前句为肯定,后句为否定,为了简洁起见,于是将后句与前句相同部分省略,只保留否定词not。又如:

If it is cheap,I’ll buy it. If not,not. 如果这东西便宜,我就买;如果不便宜,我就不买。

If you study hard,you’ll succeed. If not,not. 你若努力,你就会成功;你若不努力,你就不会成功。

二、语境省略陷阱

这里所说的语境省略指的是在一定的语境中,为了表达的简洁可省略有些不言而喻的信息。有时命题者巧妙地运用这一省略手段可编制出一些非常高明的语境省略陷阱题。如:

1. Boris has brains. In fact,I doubt whether anyone in the class has ______ IQ.

A. a high

B. a higher

C. the higher

D. the highest

【分析】此题答案为B。此句实为Boris has brains. In fact,I doubt whether anyone in the class has a higher

IQ than him之省略。省略than him后不仅句意仍然清楚,而且显得更为简洁。句意为“……我怀疑班上有没有哪个人比他智商更高”,即“我认为他可能是班上智商最高的”。请再看以下类似的题目(分析理由同上,答案均选A):

(1) “I’ve never found ______job.” “Congratulations.”

A. a better

B. a best

C. the better

D. the best

(2) “What do you think of the service here?” “Oh,wonderful. We couldn’t have found______ place.”

A. a better

B. a best

C. the better

D. the best

2. She’s too thin. She______gain some weight but she______too little.

A. would,ate

B. will,eats

C. would,eats

D. will,ate

【分析】此题有些难度,许多同学不知如何分析。我们先根据题目所提供的选项将句意大致勾出来:她太瘦了。她会增加体重的,但她吃得太少了。根据句首She’s too thin 这一所给信息可知,“她瘦”应是客观事实。按照一般的常识,“吃得少”就会引致“瘦”,“吃得多”就会导致“胖”,根据句首的信息,“她瘦”是客观事实,所以她“吃得少”也应是事实,因此第二空应填eats(即用一般现在时表示客观事实)。根据上面的分析:“她瘦”和“她吃得少”均为客观事实,那么“她体重会增加”就应是假设(注意句中的转折连词but),所以第一空应填would。其实,此句可理解为but前省略了一个条件状语if she ate more (如果她多吃一点的话)。所以,此题最佳答案选C。

三、结构省略陷阱

1. —Who has eaten all the cake,Jim?

—Oh,________must be your two pet dogs.

A. it

B. they

C. that

D. which

【分析】许多学生可能认为此题应选B,因为其后的your two pet dogs 为复数。但实际上,此题的最佳答案就是A,此句实为强调句型It must be your pet dogs that have eaten all the cake 的省略形式。

2. If you are planning to spend your money having fun this week,better_____it—you’ve got some big bills coming.

A. forget

B. forgot

C. forgetting

D. to forget

【分析】此题最佳答案为A。考查had better 后接动词原形的用法。但是考题中将you had better 这一结构省略成better,致使许多同学一时看不出来。又如:

Better go with him. 最好同他一起去。

Better have the operation right now. 你最好还是现在就动手术。

四、状语从句省略陷阱

为了简洁起见,有的状语从句(如时间状语从句、条件状语从句、方式状语从句等)有时可省略从句的主语和部分谓语(尤其是当从句主语与主句主语一致,且从句谓语包括有动词be 时)。

While (he was) waiting,he saw Jim pass by. 他在等时见到吉姆路过。

He opened his mouth as if (he was) to speak. 他张开口好像要说话似的。

Often she would weep when (she was) alone. 她一个人时,常常哭泣。

I’d like to see you whenever (it’s) convenient.你方便时我想来看看你。

有些由if 构成的省略结构,已属固定短语,如if any,if necessary,if possible,if not,if so。如:There are few,if any,mistakes in that book. 那本书就是有错误也不多。

If necessary,ring me at home. 如果必要,可以打电话到我家找我。

If possible,I wish to come next time. 如果可能,我希望下次能来。

He may be busy. If so,I’ll call later. If not,can I see him now?他可能很忙,要是这样,我以后再来拜访。要是不忙,我现在可以见他吗?

请看下面的考题:

1. He is a man of few words,and seldom speaks until ______to.

A. spoken

B. speaking

C. speak

D. be spoken

【分析】此题容易误选B,认为until 是介词,后接动词时用动名词形式。其实,此题应选A,until

spoken to 为until he is spoken to之省略。句意为“他是个沉默寡言的人,别人不同他说话,他也很少同别人说话”。

2. If ______carefully ,the experiment will be successful.

A. do

B. does

C. done

D. doing

【分析】答案选C,为if it is carefully done 之省略。

3. The research is so designed that once______nothing can be done to change it.

A. begins

B. having begun

C. beginning

D. begun

【分析】答案选D,为once it is begun 之省略。

五、虚拟语气省略陷阱

在虚拟条件句中,有时可将引导条件从句的连词if 省略,而将从句中的were,should,had 等提到句首。如:

Were I Tom,I would refuse. 如果我是汤姆,我会拒绝。

I will go,should it be necessary. 假若有必要,我会去的。

Had it not been for the bad weather we would have arrived in time. 若不是天气坏,我们就准时到达了。

值得注意的是,若条件从句为否定句,否定词not 应置于主语之后,而不能与were,should,had 等缩略成Weren’t,Shouldn’t,Hadn’t 而置于句首。另外,有时省略if 后提前的had 不是助动词。如:Had I time,I would come. 假若我有时间,我会来的。(=If I had time...)

请看一道试题:

It______very silly to argue any more against each other about it______true.

A. will be;could that be

B. must be;could that be

C. should be;was that to be

D. would be;should that be

【分析】有些同学会认为主句表示推测,从而将答案误选为B。其实,只要分析一下句子成分就很简单了。四个选项均为谓语动词,且第2 空所给选项为倒装,这正好与虚拟语气中省略if 时倒装结构一致。由此可知该题考查与将来相反的虚拟语气的用法。故答案选D。

六、让步从句省略陷阱

在由though,as 引导的让步状语从句中,如果从句的表语是可数名词单数,将名词提前时,名词前面的冠词 a 须省略。如:

Child as[though]he is,he knows much about the society.= Though he is a child,he knows much about the society.尽管他还是个小孩,但他对社会的了解不少。请看下面两道题:

1.______as it is,it can understand you.

A. A dog

B. Dog

C. Dogs

D. The dog

2. ______,he talks a lot about his favorite singers after class.(2005重庆卷)

A. A quiet student as he may be

B. Quiet student as he may be

C. Be a quiet student as he may

D. Quiet as he may be a student

【分析】根据前面的分析,这两道题的答案均为B。

高考英语陷阱题总结归纳-名词性从句

高考英语陷阱题总结归纳——名词性从句 ◆典型陷阱题分析◆ 1. She was so angry and spoke so fast that none of us understood _______ he said meant. A. that B. what C. that that D. what what 【陷阱】可能误选 B.许多同学一看选项首先就排除了C和D,认为这样两个“引导词”叠 用的情况不太可能。在A和B两个选项中,选项A肯定不行,因为它引导宾语从句时不能 充当句子成分,所以便选择了 B. 【分析】正确答案选 D.第一个what 用作动词meant 的宾语,第二个what 用作动词said 的宾语,即在none of us understood what what he said meant 中,none of us understood 为主 句,what what he said meant 为宾语从句,而在此宾语从句中又包括有what he said 这样一 个主语从句。 2. After _______ had happened he could not continue to work there. A. which B. how C. what D. having 【陷阱】可能误选 A. 【分析】最佳答案选 C.有的同学误选A,是因为认为介词后应接关系代词which,但实 际上,若填关系代词,其前没有先行词,这根据不是一个定语从句。另外,由于had happened 缺主语,所以B和D也不能选。请再做下面一题(答案选B): He pointed to ______ looked like a tomb and said, “Ghost.” A. that B. what C. which D. as 3.“Is ______ you want to say?” asked the teacher. A. this B. that C. all that D. that all 【陷阱】根据中文字面意思误选A或B. 【分析】最佳答案选 D.假若选A或B,那么转换成陈述句即为:This is you want to say. / That is you want to say. 显然句中的两个谓语动词is与want相冲突。选D组成的句子是Is that all you want to say?其中的that 为句子主语,all 为表语,you want to say 为定语从句, 用以修饰all. ?”“When ______ leave for Japan is kept secret.” 4. “When ______ leave for Japan A. they will, will they B. will they, they will C. they will, they will D. will they, will they 【陷阱】可能误选D,认为when 后应用疑问句词序。 【分析】最佳答案选 B.第一个when引出的是一个特殊疑问句,故用疑问词序;第二个 when 引出的是主语从句,故其后用陈述句词序。请做以下试题(答案选C):(1)None knows if _______ that boy, but if _______ him, her parents will be disappointed. A. she will marry, she will marry B. she marries, she marries C. she will marry, she marries D. she marries, she will marry (2)“Where _______ go to work?”“Where _______ go to work is not known.” A. we shall, we shall B. shall we, shall we C. shall we, we shall D. we shall, shall we 5. Someone is ringing the doorbell. Go and see ______.

高考英语陷阱题总结归纳连词

高考英语陷阱题总结归纳——连词 ◆典型陷阱题分析◆ 1. I'm sorry, _____ I won't be able to come tonight. A. for B. and C. but D. then 【陷阱】容易误选A,因为空格后的句子是用以说明I'm sorry 的原因的,所以便想当然地认为要选for来表示原因。 【分析】事实上,I'm sorry 后习惯上不接表示原因的连词for,而接表示转折的连词but(也可省略but),用以委婉地提出一个使对方不快的事实。又如: Oh, sorry, but she's out. 哦,不好意思,她出去了。 I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. 对不起,我不敢苟同。 I'm sorry, but I have already had another appointment. 对不起,我已经有约会了。 注:I'm sorry 后虽然不能接表原因的连词for,但却可接介词for.如: I'm sorry for shouting at you. 对不起冲你嚷嚷了。 I am sorry for what I said to you. 我后悔不该对你讲那些话。 2. The point is not who said the words, _____ they are true or not. A. but whether B. and whether C. but how D. and how 【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选。 【分析】最佳答案为A.此题涉及两个搭配:一是not …but …(不是……而是……),二是whether …or not (是否)。请看类例: He was not an actor, who often appeared on stage, _____ a writer, writing stories. A. but B. and C. then D. so 答案选A,主要考查not …but …结构。 3. Just because they make more money than I do, _____ they seem to look down on me. A. so B. and C. but D. 不填 。so …because …直译为……”所以……因为“,将汉语的A但容易误选【陷阱】【分析】此题正确答案为D,但是按英语语法,because 为从属连词,用以引导原因状语从句,它表明整个句子为复合句;而so 在表示“所以”时,它是并列连词,用以连接两个简单句使之成为并列句。由于在同一句中既用了从属连词because,又用了并列连词so,使得该句一半像复合句,一半像并列句,从而导致错误。正确的做法是,任意去掉because 和 so 中的一个,使之要么成为复合句,要么成为并列句。 4. Although he had only entered the contest for fun, _____ he won first prize. A. but B. and C. even D. 不填 【陷阱】容易误选A,将汉语的“虽然……但是……”直译为although …but …。 【分析】正确答案选D.按英语语法,although 为从属连词,用以引导让步状语从句,它表明整个句子为复合句;而but 在表示“但是”时,它是并列连词,用以连接两个简单句使之成为并列句。由于在同一句中既用了从属连词although,又用了并列连词but ,使得该句一半像

○典型高考英语陷阱题详解(二)?定语从句 2013年曾梦龙 1. The factory was built in a secret place, around ______ high mountains. A. which was B. it was C. which were D. them were 【陷阱】容易误选A或B,将A、B中的which 和it 误认为是其后句子的主语。 【分析】最佳答案是C,around which were high mountains 是一个由"介词+which"引出的非限制性定语从句,而在该从句中,主语是high mountains,around which 是表语,所以句子谓语应用复数were,而不是用单数was.请做以下类例题目(答案均为C):(1)Yesterday we visited a modern hospital, around _______ some fruit shops. A. which is B. it is C. which are D. them are (2)The murder happened in an old building, beside ______ the city police station. A. which are B. it is C. which is D. them are (3)Next month we'll move to a new building, next to _______ a nice restaurant where we can have Chinese food. A. which are B. it is C. which is D. them are 2. A man with a bleeding hand hurried in and asked, "Is there a hospital around ______ I can get some medicine for my wounded hand?" A. that B. which C. where D. what 【陷阱】容易误选B,认为around 是介词,选which 用以代替前面的名词hospital,在此用作介词around 的宾语。 【分析】最佳答案为C。以上语法分析并不算错,但问题是,照此分析,此句的意思即为:有没有这样一个医院,我在它的附近可以买药治我的手伤?这样的语境显然有点不合情理,因为人们通常是在医院里面治伤,而不是在医院附近治伤。此题选C 的理由是:句中的around 不是介词,而是副词,意为"在附近";其后的where 引导定语从句用以修饰其前的地点名词hospital,句意为:附近有没有一家医院,我可以去治我的手伤? 3. _____ is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month.

高考英语典型陷阱题详解(时态)

高考英语典型陷阱题详解(时态) 1.“I _________ his telephone number.” “I have his number, but I _________ to brin g my phone book.” A.forget, forget B.forgot, forgot C.forget, forgot D.forgot, forget 【陷阱】容易误选A,认为“忘记”是现在的事。 【分析】仔细体会一下对话的语境:第一个人说“我忘记他的电话号码了”,这个“忘记”应该是现在的情况,即现在忘记了,要不然就没有必要同对方说此话了,故第一空应填for get;第二个人说“我有他的号码,但我忘记带电话本了”,这个“忘记”应该是过去的情况,即过去忘记带电话本,所以现在电话本不在身上(注意句中的转折连词but),故第二空应填f orgot,即答案选应C。请再看一例: —Oh, I _________ where he lives. —Don’t you carry your address book? No, I _________ to bring it. A.forget, forget B.forgot, forgot C.forget, forgot D.forgot, forget 答案选C,理由同上。 2.Dear me! Just _________ at the time! I _________ no idea it was so late. A.look, have B.looking, had C.look, had D.looking, have 【陷阱】此题容易误选D,认为第一空用现在分词表伴随,第二空填have 的一般现在时,以保持与前面时态的一致性。 【分析】其实,此题应选C,第一空应填look, 因为这是祈使句的谓语;第二空应填had,因为前一句说“看看时间吧”,这一看当然知道了现在很迟的情形,“不知道这么迟了”显然应是“过去”的事,故应用一般过去时态,许多同学由于忽略这一隐含的语境而误选。 3.Mr Smith _________ a book about China last year but I don’t know whether he has finished it. A.has written B.wrote C.had written D.was writing 【陷阱】容易误选B或C。 【分析】此题应选D,这是由but I don’t know whether he has finished it 这一句话的语境决定的,全句意为“史密斯先生去年在写一本书,但我不知道他现在是否写完了”。有的同学可能由于受last year的影响而误选B。但若选B,则句子前半部分的意思则变为“史密斯先生去年写了一本书”,既然是“写了”,那么这与下文的“但我不知道他现在是否写完了”相矛盾。 4.He has changed a lot. He _________ not what he _________. A.is, is B.was, was C.is, was D.was, is 【陷阱】几个干扰项均有可能误选。 【分析】最佳答案选C,上文说“他”变化很大,即“他”现在不是过去的那个样子了,故第一空填is,第二空填was(其实第二空也可用used to be)。请看类例:

高考英语陷阱题总汇

高考英语陷阱题总汇 基础题,人人会做,显不出优势;高难题,人人不会做,拉不开距离;陷阱题,表面看起来很容易,所需知识也不一定很难,但其中隐含机关,预设陷阱,尽管你完全具备做好此类题的知识和能力,但由于你理解角度不对、分析思路不活、做题方法不当、使用技法不巧等,可能自认为捡了个大便宜,而实际上却刚好掉入了命题人为你精心准备的陷阱。不信你就看看下面几道题: 1. She was so angry and spoke so fast that none of us understood _____ he said meant. A. that B. what C. that that D. what what 仔细想想看,选A还是选B?请给出你的决定——未作决定之前请不要往后看!你的分析可能是这样的:选项C和D 不太可能是正确答案,因为像这样两个―引导词‖叠用的情况一般不可能。在A和B两个选项中,选项A肯定不行,因为它引导宾语从句时不能充当句子成分,所以只能选B了。 事实是:如果你选A,肯定错了;如果你选B,那也错了。此题最佳答案是D,其中第一个what 用作动词meant 的宾语,第二个what 用作动词said 的宾语,即在none of us understood what what he said meant 中,none of us understood 为主句,what what he said meant 为宾语从句,而在此宾语从句中又包括有what he said 这样一个主语从句。假若去掉句末的meant,则答案就是B了。 分析有道理吗?有点启发吗?你可要客观地评价噢!请再看一题: 2. Everyone knows that _______ is dangerous to play with fire, but _______ is difficult is to prevent children from playing with fire. A. it, it B. what, what C. it, what D. what, it 这次可要想好!请拿定主意,选C还是选D?未作决定之前请不要往后看!你的分析可能是这样的:此题既不选C,也不选D,而是选A。因为两处的空格均填形式主语it。 事实上,你又错了。此题的最佳答案是C:第一空填形式主语,真正的主语是其后的不定式to play with fire;而第二空应填what,what is difficult 是主语从句,注意what is difficult 后的谓语动词is。有点收获吧,再请做做以下类似试题: (1) I know ______ is important to know my own limitations, but _______ is difficult is to help others to know their own limitations. A. it, it B. what, what C. it, what D. what, it (2) Yes, ______ is difficult to find a job nowadays, but _____ is more difficult is try to find such a job with a high salary but little things to do. A. it, it B. what, what C. it, what D. what, it 答案选什么,估计你不会选错了,你若还不放心,请往本书后面有关知识点去找找,那里有明确的答案。对此有兴趣吗?那就再看一题吧! 3.Let‘s make it at seven o‘clock on Tuesday morning at my office if ________. A. you‘re convenient B. it is convenient for you C. you feel convenient D. it is convenient with you 先仔细想好,看选项A和C哪个更佳,当然也可能A和C都不对,答案在B、D当中。不过,主意你自己拿。我猜你的答案不是A就可能是C,因为你可能将汉语中的―如果你方便的话‖直译为if you are convenient 或if you feel convenient了。 其实最佳答案是B,因为英语中的convenient不是表示―感到方便的‖,而是表示―使人感到方便的‖,所以be convenient 的主语通常不能是―人‖。要表示―如果你方便的话‖,英语通常if it is convenient for [to] you,其中的介词可用for 或to,但一般不用with。顺便说一句,偶尔也可见到用人或物作be convenient的主语,但此时的句子必须具备这样的特点:句子主语是其后不定式的逻辑宾语,如:Mary is convenient to see on Sunday. / It is convenient to see Mary on Sunday. 星期天去见玛丽较为方便。
