Though_______ money, his parents managed to send him to university. A．lacked B．lacking of C．lacking in D．lacked in

Answer 1

C

试题分析：句意：他的父母尽管缺少钱，但是他们还是设法送他去上大学。Though后是省略句，当从句的主语与主句的主语一致，并且从句的谓语动词有be时，谓语动词be与主语一起省略。完整的是Though they were lacking in money；lack是动词时直接在后面加宾语，但是they 与lack之间是主动关系，故排除AD；当lack是名词时后接of+名词；be lacking in缺乏，故选C。 点评：本题难度适中。为了使话说得简明扼要，英语句子中某个单词、短语甚至从句或主句都可以省去。这种省去句子某些成分而保持句子意思不变的现象，称为省略。它是高中阶段的重要的语法项目，需要考生仔细分析句子结构，来确定省略的内容。 即学即练：Though ______to go to bed many times, the little boy just turned a deaf ear and fixed his eyes on the cartoons.  A. urging             B. being urged            C. urged        D. having urged 解析：C。考查省略结构。在让步、时间、条件等状语从句中，当主、从句主语一致时且从句中含有系动词be的各种形式时，通常将主语和系动词省略，故选C。
