标题: 请教：冠词用法 885-s2-1 885-s2- [打印本页] 作者: binneal 时间: 2003-12-18 04:41 标题: 请教：冠词用法 885-s2-1 885-s2- Two questions related to 冠词 usage
1. A fire in an enclosed space burns with the aid of reflected radiation that preheats the fuel, making ignition much easier and flames spreading more quickly. (A) flames spreading (B) flame spreads (C) flames are caused to spread (D) causing flames to spread (E) causing spreading of the flames
Ans: D
Personally, I feel E is more parallel without being more redundent. However, people argue that the use of "the flames" is the reason of crossing it out. Can someone confirm it?
6. The new contract forbids a strike by the transportation union. (A) forbids a strike by the transportation union (B) forbids the transportation union from striking (C) forbids that there be a strike by the transportation union (D) will forbid the transportation union from striking (E) will forbid that the transportation union strikes
Ans: A
I don't like the use of "a strike". "strikes" would be much better, right? Can you say: "I love an apple", "I hate a crime", etc?作者: shellyaaa 时间: 2003-12-18 06:16
1. making/ ignition/ much easier 和 causing /flames /to spread 很对称平行阿！the flames不需要the,没有特指。前面的ignition也没有the。
6. forbid sth/ to do sth -------right forbid that/ sb from doing sth -----wrong
