[求助] GWD-TN-23 Q16: PP 52 (prep 52)

Although at one time children's programming had been limited to a few hours a week, now, however, there are at least four cable networks that dedicate themselves entirely to shows produced specifically for children.

A. Although at one time children's programming had been limited to a few hours a week, now, however, there are at least four cable networks that dedicate themselves entirely to shows produced specifically for children.

B. With children's programming having been limited at one time to a few hours a week, now at least four cable networks have dedicated themselves

C. Once limited to a few hours a week, there are now at least four cable networks with children's programming that dedicate themselves

D. Children's programming was once limited to a few hours a week, but now there are at least four cable networks dedicated

E. While children's programming had once been limited to a few hours a week, at least four cable networks are now dedicated

正解: (D)

 

我选了(E)

我想这里的意思有比较之前的状况和现在的状况

所以用while应该是很OK的

 

我对(D)中的”there are” 是否redundancy以及dedicate在这边不需要用被动式吗？

 

还是dedicate在这边用主动语气的道理就跟assemble一样？

不能光看主词是无生命的就一味的认为一定是用被动式？

 

 

恳求NN帮忙解惑~~~~

remona9t

had once been

没有根据

dedicated 是 that are dedicated的省略形式

minirainbow

Had once been 没有根据？
            什么意思？

跟was once limited相较之下，不是都是表对过去的比较吗？

 

现在看(D)好点了 but可以有力的表达出contrast，也懂了dedicate在这边是省略形式…

 

谢谢你

 

继续讨论………….

这个题中there be，被动，时态很多考点，大牛帮忙分析一下呀。我选E，根据XDF的说法，there be 在这里出现不合适。求解。。。

个人拙见：请NN指正。
A：at one time 用法有歧义， had been 没有过去时间点作为提示，不应该用。now的位置有修饰前面分居的嫌疑，that dedicate themselves wordy, dedicate 和 entirely redundancy.
B：with.. having awkward. have been 和 at one time 不一致。 at one time 歧义， dedicate themselves... 似乎不好。
C：limited 没有被修饰的referent， with修饰network不合适，that 修饰programming不合适
D：正确
E：had been 过去完成时没有时间提示，are dedicated 被动不好。

我的分析
A选项. Although和however重复。而且there are…that dedicate的表达awkward.
B选项，with结构表达伴随的意思。改变了原来的转折意味。
C选项，once limited找不到逻辑主语。
D选项，there are….networks dedicated的表达也不是很好。.
E选项，are dedicated被动表达不对。
没有特别好的选项，相比之下D选项稍微好点。我做的时候选成A。
