高考英语最易错的省略型陷阱题七

　　In some western countries, the rich are becoming richer, and _________.

　　A. the poor the poor B. poor poor

　　C. the poor poorer D. poorer the poor

　　【分析】此题应选C。句子后半部分为…and the poor are becoming poorer 之省略。句意为“在有些西方国家，富人变得更富，而穷人则变得更穷”。句中的 the rich 指“富人”，the poor 指“穷人”。按英语习惯，若前后两句谓语动词相同，则后句通常可承前省略。又如：

　　He is a teacher and his wife a nurse. 他是老师，他妻子是护士。(...his wife a nurse=...his wife is a nurse)

　　John won the first race and Mick the second. 约翰赢了先进场比赛,米克赢了第二场比赛。(... and Mick the second = ...and Mick won the second race)

　　In the accident the son was wounded, but the mother killed. 在事故中，儿子受伤，母亲丧命。(...but the mother killed=...but the mother was killed)

　　有时若后句的主语和宾语等与前句相同，也可一起省去：

　　He did it and quite successfully too at the beginning. 他这样做了，而且一开始就很成功。(=He did it and he did it quite successfully too at the beginning.)
