簡析省略在會話中廣泛應用，解題時應按照問話或答語的具體內容補充完整, 做好該類題型一是要注意上下文語境，二是要注意常見句式的省略。英語中常見句式的省略有：

1.It is … (that…) 強調句式中that 部分省略。2.(It is) No wonder … ( 難怪…)

3.(Is there) Anything else ?

4.(You’d) Better do

5.have some difficulty( in) doing, prevent sb (from) doing sth 等詞組中介詞在口語中常省略

A. where　　B. that C. which　　D. /

2. You can’t imagine the great difficulty I had _____ your house.

A. finding　　B. found　　C. to find　　D. find 　key1.A2.A

簡析第1題可以補全強調句式that 部分： It was in the hotel where he stayed that I saw him last night. hotel 后為定語從句。

第2題是對have difficulty in doing sth 詞組置于定語從句的考查，介詞in 的省略加大了該題的難度。
