二、語(yǔ)境省略陷阱

這里所說(shuō)的語(yǔ)境省略指的是在一定的語(yǔ)境中，為了表達(dá)的簡(jiǎn)潔可省略有些不言而喻的信息。有時(shí)命題者巧妙地運(yùn)用這一省略手段可編制出一些非常高明的語(yǔ)境省略陷阱題。如：

1. 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

【分析】此題答案為B。此句實(shí)為Boris has brains. In fact, I doubt whether anyone in the class has a higher IQ than him之省略。省略than him后不僅句意仍然清楚，而且顯得更為簡(jiǎn)潔。句意為“……我懷疑班上有沒(méi)有哪個(gè)人比他智商更高”，即“我認(rèn)為他可能是班上智商最高的”。請(qǐng)?jiān)倏匆韵骂愃频念}目(分析理由同上，答案均選A)：

(1) How beautifully she sings! I have never heard _________ voice.

A. a better                B. a best              C. the better             D. the best

(2) “I’ve never found _________ job.” “Congratulations.”

A. a better               B. a best               C. the better             D. the best

(3) “What do you think of the service here?” “Oh, wonderful. We couldn’t have found _________ place.”

A. a better               B. a best               C. the better             D. the best

(4) How cold it is! We’ve never had _________ day this winter.

A. a colder               B. a cold              C. the coldest           D. the colder

2. 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】此題有些難度，許多同學(xué)不知如何分析。我們先根據(jù)題目所提供的選項(xiàng)將句意大致勾出來(lái)：她太瘦了。她會(huì)增加體重的，但她吃得太少了。根據(jù)句首 She’s too thin 這一所給信息可知，“她瘦”應(yīng)是客觀事實(shí)。按照一般的常識(shí)，“吃得少”就會(huì)引致“瘦”，“吃得多”就會(huì)導(dǎo)致“胖”，由于根據(jù)句首的信息，“她瘦”是客觀事實(shí)，所以她“吃得少”也應(yīng)是事實(shí)，所以第二空應(yīng)填 eats(即用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示客觀事實(shí))。根據(jù)上面的分析：“她瘦”和“她吃得少”均為客觀事實(shí)，那么“她體重會(huì)增加”就應(yīng)是假設(shè)(注意句中的轉(zhuǎn)折連詞 but)，所以第一空應(yīng)填 would。其實(shí)，此句可理解為but前省略了一個(gè)條件狀語(yǔ) if she ate more (如果她多吃一點(diǎn)的話)。所以，此題最佳答案選C。
