與省略法相反的是,在一些單項填空題中,句子省略了某些成分的特殊結構較大地增加了試題的難度,我們可運用分析句子結構的方法,補全句子,破解難點,尋求正確答案。
19. Though ______ money his parents managed to send him to university.
A. lacked B. lacking of C. lacking D. lacked in
對于此題,我們可以采用補全句子的方法尋找正確答案。將句子補全為:Though they lacked money his parents managed to send him to university. 這樣,題干中they被省略了,lack與they呈主動關系,所以用現在分詞形式,故正確答案為C.
在某些復合句中,從屬連詞when if once though as soon as while等引導的從句,從句的主語與主句的主語相同,常將從句的主語和謂語be動詞省略,或省略主語,謂語動詞采用分詞形式。
20. 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
通過分析句子結構,該題省略了than he does. 將其補全應為:Boris has brains. In fact I doubt whether anyone in the class has ______ IQ than he does. 所以應用比較級,并且此處的比較級表達最高級的含義,從而得出正確答案為B.
21. ----What made her mother so angry?
---- ______ the exam.
A. Because she didn’t pass B. Her not passing
C. She didn’t D. Because her not passing
通過分析句子結構,將答語部分補全為:_____ the exam made her mother so angry. 可以看出少了一個主語,而能用作主語的是答案B. 這個選項是一個動名詞的復合結構。
