The odds are about 4 to 1 against surviving a takeover offer, and many business consultants therefore advise that a company's first line of defense in eluding offers like these be to even refuseto take calls form likely corporate raiders.
(A) that a company's first line of defense in eluding offers like these be to even refuse
(B) that a company's fist line of defense in eluding such offers be to refuse even
(C) a company defending itself against offers like this kind that, as a first line of defense, they should even refuse
(D) companies which are defending themselves against such an offer that, as a first line of defense, they should even refuse
(E) that the first line of defense for a company who is eluding offers like these is the refusal
首先根据like thes 排除A E 再根据advice sb to do 排除C D(没有advice sb that)
只能选B 大家注意 B里违反了两条语法总结里的条例:
1.be to do 说是主观语气不能出现 但想想advice是人给的,难不成还是客观存在的(忒唯物了)
2.even 作为强烈语气词改变了原句的位置

P257 #7
be to do中do前面不能加副词的吧?
这题思路比较怪!
帮顶, 我昨天看了也很LZ的问题一样.
今天再想想是不是可以这样理解:
first line of defense in eluding such offers be to refuse, 可以看作与the only way is to do sth 一样, 此处 first line of defense 是advise 的宾语, 而本身first line of defense 的用法是 is to do sth , 在这里有虚拟,故成了 be to refuse, 看上去像是 be to do, 实际上是虚拟的变体.
而一直讲的所谓的be to do(/be about to do)不能用,是当其作为将来时态,表示马上要做某事, 应该改成be going to do;
而 even是弱语气词, 不是强烈语气词,所以其位置不需要保持, 即使选项将其改变位置,也只是有效性错误,不能依据even的变化来排除选项.
lz 可以参考一下大全的解释,这到题大全是792, sec02-12; 不过我觉得By 和大全的解释都没有把LZ的疑问展开讨论,都回避了这两点.
以上说法不知lz 同意否, 还请指教.

感谢LS
不过关于第一点:虽说是虚拟,若不省略should的话就是should be to do也就是说即使它是虚拟的变体,但这里还是有be to do的结构
