标题: OG12 6 关于指代问题 [打印本页] 作者: 加州女孩 时间: 2010-5-9 10:02 标题: OG12 6 关于指代问题 In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls. (A) due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing (B) due to moisture that tourists had exhaled, thereby raising its humidity to such levels that salt from the stone would crystallize (C) because tourists were exhaling moisture, which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize (D) because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels so high as to make the salt from the stone crystallize (E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing C Th e pronoun them seems to refer to tourists, which is nonsensical; the entire construction is awkward and wordy; would crystallize is not parallel to was growing. D Once again, them seems to refer to tourists; the entire construction is awkward, wordy, and ambiguous; crystallize is not parallel to was growing. E Correct. Th e causal sequence is clear, and them clearly refers to chambers. C中的指代问题我可以理解，因为C那个tourist是中心名词，但是我觉得D跟E中的tourist半斤八两啊，为啥D就错了E就对了呢？作者: lenaqiao 时间: 2010-5-22 13:05
个人愚见：对于D选项，raising the humidity within them 修饰的是tourists，而E选项had raised the humidity within them的主语是moisture。
