标题: Prep2#29 差口气型问题请教NN们
Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio winds through the middle of the business district, and the River Walk, or Paseo del Rio, is the city's most popular attraction.
(A) Unlike many United States cities, where a river is no longer the focal point of urban life, the river in San Antonio
(B) Unlike the river in many cities in the United States, which is no longer the focal point of urban life, in San Antonio the river
(C) Today the river in many cities in the United States is no longer the focal point of urban life, unlike San Antonio, where it
(D) In few United States cities today, a river is the focal point of urban life, but the river in San Antonio
(E) No longer do many cities in the United States have a river as the focal point of urban life, but in San Antonio the river
这个题问题就在DE选不明白.可以2.3排除法除去ABC
但是我选的D,没看出来D有什么毛病呀.请教一下...十分的迷茫....

1. 把no longer换成了today，语义不完整，并不能表达那些城市曾经是以河流为生活中心。
关于这点的另一个解释：
there's a big distinction between the meaning of this sentence and the meaning of the original (which is the same as the meaning of choice e): the original (like choice e) specifically goes so far as to say that there were once MANY american cities in which a river was the focal point of urban life.
so, even though (d) does suggest that there were once more such cities, it stops well short of saying/implying that there were once MANY such cities.
2.前半句最好倒装以示强调：In few United States cities today is a river the focal point of urban life.--->ineffectiveness的问题
3.but前后状语位置不够对称，也是ineffectiveness的问题。。

这题一开始我做错了，选了D。仔细想来，D的毛病除了倒装强调问题，还有介词短语的修饰问题：
the river in San Antonio (.....and )is… 实际上就是说the river in other places isn’t…
这显然扭曲了原文的含义，所以in San Antonio 只能做做状语，不能做定语。
