在英語(yǔ)表達(dá)中，為了使語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔明了、重點(diǎn)突出或上下文緊密相連，省去某些句子成分，但又保持句子原意不變，這種語(yǔ)言現(xiàn)象稱(chēng)之為“省略”。省略句也是近年來(lái)各類(lèi)考試中常見(jiàn)的考查內(nèi)容之一。在不破壞句子結(jié)構(gòu)和不引起歧義的基礎(chǔ)上，為了使句子更簡(jiǎn)潔，能省略的地方可盡量省略。

【考點(diǎn)一】動(dòng)詞不定式中to的省略

A. 在hear，see，watch，notice，feel，find等感官動(dòng)詞和make，have，let等使役動(dòng)詞后面，應(yīng)跟不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。若這些使役動(dòng)詞為被動(dòng)形式，則其后充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞不定式應(yīng)帶to。如：

1. The child is crying. Please do something to make him .

A. stop to cry B. stop crying C. to? stop crying

2. I saw Tom his key in the lock，turn it and open the door.

A. put? ? ? ? B. putting? ? ? ? C. puts? ? ? ? D. to put

B. would rather，had? better，rather than等后面應(yīng)該跟不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式。如：

3. — Do you prefer?basketball with me？

— No，Id? rather at home and watch? TV.

A. play；stay? ? ? ? ? ? B. to? play；to stay

C. play；to? stay? ? ? ? D. to play；stay

C. “Why? not + 動(dòng)詞原形 + 其他”相當(dāng)于“Why? dont? you + 動(dòng)詞原形 + 其他”，意思是“為什么不……”。如：

4. It is? raining? outside. Why? not an? umbrella？

A. to? take? ? ? ? ? B. take? ? ? ? ? ? C. taking

【考點(diǎn)二】動(dòng)詞不定式后動(dòng)詞的省略

動(dòng)詞 like，love，want，hope，wish，seem，hate，expect，try，prefer等和be glad / pleased / delighted / happy等后面接動(dòng)詞不定式時(shí)，為避免重復(fù)，常省略與上文相同的動(dòng)詞，只保留to。如：

7. — Would? you? like? to? play? basketball? with? us? this? afternoon？

A. I dont care? ? B. Id? love to C. Of? course? ? D. My? pleasure

在一般疑問(wèn)句和反意疑問(wèn)句的簡(jiǎn)略答語(yǔ)中，常用be動(dòng)詞、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞或助動(dòng)詞（do / did / have等）替代要重復(fù)的動(dòng)詞及它們后面的相關(guān)賓語(yǔ)、表語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ)或其他成分。如：

【考點(diǎn)四】用替代詞so、not的替代省略

有時(shí)，為了避免重復(fù)前文中所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容，常用替代詞so或not 。在省略句中，so或not常與expect，fear，guess， suppose， think，do， believe，Im afraid 等連用。表示肯定時(shí)，上述動(dòng)詞多與so搭配；表示否定時(shí)，hope，guess及Im? afraid等只用 I? hope? not， I guess? not，Im? afraid? not等形式，而think，believe，suppose等可用 I think / believe / suppose? not? 或 I dont? think / believe / suppose? so兩種否定形式。如：
