14.Tell him that I'll call to see him and (that I'll) havesupper with him.

15.I don't know when (he was born) and where he was born.

二、在回答一般疑问句的简略答语中;或回答用陈述句，祈使句表示要求、命令的简略答语中。 常用Yes /No+主语+助动词， 而省略主动词或其它成份。但助动词应和原句的助动词和时间概念须保持相应的一致; 或根据句意选择对特殊问句的答语时，常常省略和问句相重复的部分，只保留新信息部分。如：

1.—Alice, why didn't you come yesterday?

—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：
