day? —i ______ ,but i had an unexpected visitor. (nmet97) a.had b.would c.was going to d.did 本题选c。据句意，是表示昨天打算要来。 was going to 后省略了come yesterday。 2.—could i borrow your dictionary? —yes, of course you ________ . (nmet92) a.might b.will c.can d.should 本题选c。could在句中表示委婉语气，而不是过去时，答语中应用can；can后省略了borrow my dictiona ry。 3.—don't forget to come to my birthday party tomorrow. —__________.(nmet94) a.i don't b.i won't c.i can't d.i haven't 本题选b。因祈使句含有未来的意味，再加上有tomorrow的限制，因而应用i won't回答。i won't 后省略了forget to go to yourbirthday party tomorrow。 4.—how long has this bookshop been in business? —_________ 1982.(nmet94) a.after b.in c.from d.since 本题选d。根据句意和结构，该题承前省略了主语、谓语it hasbeen in business 等；只保留了新信息（时间状语）部分；再由howlong对时间段提问的限制，只能选since。三、在回答问句及其它形式的答语中，如有和上文重复的不定式时，在答语中只保留其不定式符号to，而把动词和其它部分省略。如： 1.—would you like to come to dinner tonight? —i'd like to,______i'm too busy. (nmet94) a.and b.so c.as d.but 本题应选d。据上文，下文中的i'd like to 后省略了come todinner tonight，这样很容易看出逗号前后信息相反，故选but。 2.—i'll be away on a business trip. would you mindlooking after my cat? —not at all,__________.(nmet95) a.i've no time b.i'd rather not c.i'd like it d.i'd be happy to 本题应选d。据not at all 的限制，a、b不合题意。c搭配错，因'd like后应跟不定式。i'd be happy to 后省略了look after yourcat。 3.the boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street, buthis mother told him_________. (nmet95) a.not to b.not to do c.not do it d.do not to 本题选a。not to 后省略了和上文相重复的ride his bicycle inthe street。四、英语中的反意疑问句。反意疑问句常用一个肯定的陈述句，再加上一个只保留助动词和主语的简略问句的否定形式；或一个否定的陈述句，再加上一个简略疑问句的肯定形式；而其它成分则被省略。祈使句的反意问句形式，不管祈使句是肯定的还是否定的，除了在let's...后加简略的疑问句shall we外，其余的都在其后加will you。如： 1.it's a fine day. let's go fishing,________? a.won't we b.will we c.don't we d.shall we(met90) 本题选d。 2.be sure to write to us, _______?(nmet93) a.will you b.aren't you c.can you d.mustn't you 本题选a。五、在英语中，有一些特殊的省略结构，如：what/how about...? why not do...?等实际上已形成了习惯用法。how/what about 后只跟名词、代词或动名词（短语）；why not后只接动词原形。如： 1.how about the two of us________a walk down the garden?(met93) a.to take b.take c.taking d.to be taking 本题选c。 2.—i usually go there by train. —why not_______by boat for a change? (nmet92) a.to try going b.trying to go c.to try and go d.try going 本题选d。六、和前文重复的助动词或重复的主要动词也可省略（括号部分为省略的成分）。如： 1. you could have come and (you could have) told me. 2.please clean the classroom and (clean) the reading-room. 七、和前文重复的冠词、物主代词、指示代词及其它的限定词、介词和连词等也可省略（括号内的内容为省略的成分）。如： 1.a man and (a) woman have just passed by. 2.please take good care of those books and (those) papers. 3.he lived in beijing and (in) shanghai for some time. 八、两个或两个以上被形容词修饰的同一名词，前边的常被省略；重复出现的形容词，后边的可以省略（括号内容为省略成分）。如： 1.there were middle-aged (men) and elderly men to attendthe meeting. 2.we are young boys and (young) girls. 九、如果句意或上下文意思清楚，一般动词前的人称代词和形容词前的人称代词＋be可被省略；词首的冠词、物主代词、人称代词和助动词也可被省略（括号内容为省略的成份）。如： 1.(have you) seen tom? 2.(i) couldn't know this matter. 3.(i) hope to see you soon. 4.(i am) glad to see you. 5.(the) car's giving trouble again. 十、so，nor/neither 用来表示“……也一样”时，也用省略结构（括号内容为省略的成份）。如： 1.—i am a student. —so am i (a student). 2.—we haven't been there. —neithe
