省略句难题应对技巧
五、逻辑推断法
有的省略试题难度比较大,不仅涉及语法知识、生活常识等,而且还要求考生根据题干所提供的信息进行逻辑推理。如:
1. 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”,由于根据句首的信息,“她瘦”是客观事实,所以她“吃得少”也应是事实,所以第二空应填 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。
2. “Everyone says you are a good student. You never sleep in class, do you?” “_________.”
A. Yes, never B. Yes, sometimes C. No, sometimes D. Oh, really
分析:答案选B,答句是对针对 You never sleep in class, do you? 这一问句来回答的,Yes, sometimes 为 Yes, I do. Sometimes I sleep in class 之省略,其意为“不,上课有时睡觉”。若选其余几项,均会导致逻辑不通。请看类例:
“You’ve never been to the village, have you?” “_________. It is the most beautiful village I’ve ever seen.”
A. No, never B. No, I have C. No, only once D. Yes, only once
分析:答案选D,Yes, only once 为 Yes, I have. But I’ve been there only once. 之省略,句意为“不,我去过,但只去过一次”。注意句末的 It is the most beautiful village I’ve ever seen 表明“我”去过那儿,所以不能选A。
