有时句子应具备的成分出于修辞上和实际使用的需要,会缺少一个或几个句子语法结构所必要的语言成分,但在一定语境中可独立存在,仍能表达其意义完整并发挥交流功能的句子被称为省略句。省略不仅能使句子更加精练,而且可起到紧密连接上下文并使相邻词语达到强调的作用。
一、简单句中的省略

Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria, England
It was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sun setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the blackandwhite image (图像).

The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.

Researchers say the world has lost more than one fourth of its landbased insects over the past 30 years. The finding comes from a major study of insect populations worldwide. The researchers noted the loss of such insects suggests a more complex problem than earlier research has shown.
Ants, bees, butterflies and other landbased insects have been sufferingW1 population drops of about nine percent every 10 years or so. The number of insects on averageP1 has declinedW2 in the air, in the grass and soil, but not in trees or underground, the researchers found. Some estimates show that landbased insects will face a population drop of 24 percent in the next 30 years. The researchers did not find a link to climate change in the loss of insects. But they did note the widespread effects of growing cities and loss of underdeveloped areas to agriculture.
However, freshwater insects, such as dragonflies and mosquitoes, have been a different story. These insects were found to have experienced a population increase of about 1 percent every 10 years. Freshwater covers only 2.5 percent of the Earth's surface, so the majority of insects live mainly on land. The researchers said cleanwater policies established in recent years were responsible forP2 the increase in freshwater insects.
“The decline across insect orders on land is very surprising,” said Nick Haddad, an expert on butterflies at Michigan State University. He was not involved in the study. Ongoing decline on land at this rate will be extremely damaging for ecological systems and for humans, Haddad told the Associated Press. He noted that insects are pollinators (传粉昆虫). They move pollen from part of the flower of a plant to another part. This causes the plant to produce fruit or seeds. Insects also help to break down dead plants and animals. Nick Haddad added that insects also serve as food to many animals, making them very important to the earth's ecosystems.
Other scientists said the findings made sense. They would go on with the study with more accurate data.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了对世界各地昆虫种群所做的一项研究的发现。研究人员表示,在过去的30年里,世界上已经失去了超过四分之一的陆地昆虫,并对其原因做了分析。
4.What is the finding of the study mainly about?
A.The disturbance of the earth' s ecosystems.
B.The diversity of creatures in the world.
C.The complexity of studying landbased insects.
D.The change in the number of insects worldwide.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句“Researchers say the world has lost more than ... of insect populations worldwide.”可知,该项研究主要关于世界范围内昆虫数量的变化。故选D。
5.What was the main cause of the insects' situation according to the author?
A.Human activity.
B.Climate change.
C.A lack of freshwater.
D.Frequent natural disasters.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“The researchers did not find a link to climate change in the loss of insects. But they did note the widespread effects of growing cities and loss of underdeveloped areas to agriculture.”可知,城市的增多和未开发的用地流失影响了昆虫数量,由此可知,影响昆虫生存环境的主要原因是人类活动。故选A。
6.Why does the author say freshwater insects have been a different story?
A.They reproduce very quickly.
B.Their habitat has been protected.
C.Their population is in the minority.
D.They can live both on land and in water.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“The researchers said cleanwater policies established in recent years were responsible for the increase in freshwater insects.”可知,研究人员表示,近年来制定的清洁水政策是淡水昆虫数量增加的原因。由此可推知,淡水昆虫数量增长是因为它们的栖息地被保护了。故选B。
7.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The relationship between insects and plants.
B.The importance of insects to the ecosystems.
C.The significance of further studying insects.
D.Human's influence on the decline of wildlife.
答案:B 段落大意题。根据第四段中的“Insects also help to break down dead plants and animals.”以及“insects also serve as food to many animals, making them very important to the earth's ecosystems”可知,昆虫有助于分解死去的动植物,是很多动物的食物,这使得它们对地球的生态系统非常重要。由此可知,本段主要介绍昆虫在大自然生态系统中的重要性。故选B。

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们误认为鱼翅汤有价值且觉得鲨鱼会伤害人,使得鲨鱼处于危险的现状。
1.a 考查冠词。句意:由于人们的错误信念,成千上万的鲨鱼正在死亡。固定短语as a result of “由于……;作为……的结果”。故填a。
2.to produce 考查非谓语动词。have the ability to do sth “有能力做某事” ,应用动词不定式作后置定语,修饰名词ability。故填 to produce。
3.commonly 考查词性转换。句意:这在植物和昆虫中很常见,比如蚂蚁和蜜蜂。设空处应用副词修饰动词seen。故填commonly。
4.is believed 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:传统上,鱼翅汤被认为对健康有益,并且在中国非常特殊。此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时;主语shark fin soup与believe之间为被动关系,应用被动语态。故填is believed。
5.But/Yet 考查连词。句意:但现代科学家指出,鲨鱼组织的毒性可能极高。本句与前句“have health benefits”之间为转折关系。故填But/Yet。
6.endangering 考查非谓语动词。主语hunting for sharks与动词endanger是主动关系,应用现在分词作结果状语。故填endangering。
7.to die 考查非谓语动词。句意:根据佛罗里达博物馆的国际鲨鱼攻击档案(ISAF),你死于雷击的可能性是死于鲨鱼咬伤的两倍多。固定短语be likely to do “可能做某事”。故填to die。
8.majority 考查词性转换。句意:Dr Chapman(查普曼博士)说:“即使被鲨鱼咬伤,大多数人还是活了下来。”设空前是形容词large,设空后是介词of,可知设空处应用名词。故填majority。
9.were 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:根据国际安全援助部队的数据,2018年全球发生了66起无缘无故的鲨鱼咬人事件,其中只有6起是危险的。逻辑主语incidents是复数,且根据时间状语为in 2018可知,应用一般过去时。故填were。
10.which 考查定语从句的引导词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为incidents,在从句中作介词of的宾语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
