37: Roughly one-half of the world’s population, including virtually all of East and Southeast Asia also, is wholly dependent on rice to be its staple food.
A: including virtually all of East and Southeast Asia also, is wholly dependent on rice to be
B: including virtually all of East and Southeast Asia, is wholly dependent on rice as
C: virtually all of East and Southeast Asia as well, wholly dependent on rice as
D: which includes virtually all of East and Southeast Asia’s, being wholly dependent on rice as
E: which includes virtually all of East and Southeast Asia also, is wholly dependent on rice to be
这题选B,估计大家都同意。但时偶还是觉得B读起来怪怪的,理由如下(1)all 后面是否省略population? (2)wholly dependent on rice as its staple food-->这句怎么读起来感觉好奇怪?
也许我的问题很白痴,could anyone help me? many thanks!
(1)你可以这样理解。但非本题关键。
(2)你觉得怎么奇怪呢?不奇怪呀。习惯用法。
这道题ETS出的很好,我们可以分析一下它出题的思路。
首先,ABCDE 5个开头,全是正确的,千万别浪费时间分析到底哪个更正确。
然后看第二个分句开头,谓语必须是助动词+形容词,CD不完整,排除。
最后看ABE的末尾其他部分,发现都一样除了2个to be,1个as。因为只能有一个正确答案,只能选As那个,就是B
不需要什么更复杂的语法知识,也能做对题。

不同意5楼说的开头全对的说法。这里的分词结构要比which clause要好。因为Which 修饰和它相连的先行词- World’s population,而在意义上应该表示one-half of the world’s population, 所以只能要分词,分词可以修饰前面的分句。
至于AS, 没有dependent on to be 的这种用法。此外,Dependent on … as , 在这里,就类似于serve.. as, think of… as. 一样的用法。AS解释为“作为“,比to be “要成为”好。

有道理
而且A,E的also是多余的。
原文要说世界的一半人口,这一半人口包括east and southeast asia。also多余。
