Building on civilizations that preceded them in coastal Peru, the Mochica developed their own elaborate society, based on cultivating such crops like corn and beans, the harvesting of fi sh and shellfi sh, and exploiting other wild and domestic resources. (A) based on cultivating such crops like corn and beans, the harvesting of fi sh and shellfi sh, and exploiting (B) based on the cultivation of such crops as corn and beans, the harvesting of fi sh and seafood, and the exploitation of (C) and basing it on the cultivation of crops like corn and beans, harvesting fi sh and seafood, and the exploiting of (D) and they based it on their cultivation of crops such as corn and beans, the harvest of fi sh and seafood, and exploiting (E) and they based it on their cultivating such crops like corn and beans, their harvest of fi sh and shellfi sh, and they exploited Diction; Parallelism Th e sentence describes the elaborate society of the Mochica with a series of three features, the fi rst of which contains an example. Th e three features must be presented in parallel structures—e.g., cultivating, harvesting, and exploiting. Th e use of such to introduce the examples of crops requires that the comparison be completed with as instead of like. A Th e second item in the series violates the parallelism required for the series; like is the incorrect word to complete the introduction of examples. B Correct. Th e three items in the series are in parallel form, and such crops is correctly followed by as. C And basing it on … must come before the main verb in order to make this version a complete sentence. D Th e items in the description of the society are not in parallel form. E Like is the wrong word to introduce the examples; based it on their cultivating such crops … is awkward and wordy; they based is parallel to they exploited, but for this sentence to work, and would have to be inserted before their harvest of fi sh. Th e correct answer is B.
--------------------------------------------------- 题目解释中提到了正确parallel structures 应该是cultivating, harvesting and exploiting. 但是选项B中却使用cultivation, harvesting 和exploitation。为什么前后矛盾还正确阿作者: AlohaDJ 时间: 2010-12-19 23:34
这道题当初也差点被这个解释搞懵来着~~ 解释中讲parallel structures时，只是把cultivating, harvesting and exploiting当作一个example来说的（可以看到e.g.的字眼），这时三个动词都加ing变成gerund，这是一种平行结构。同样，其它类型的平行结构也是可以的，比如三个动词都变成名词性（如选项B中的）。。不知这样说lz是否能清楚些了呢呵呵。。
