标题: 关于非谓语动词就近修饰还是修饰主语的疑问——附两个例子比较 [打印本页] 作者: courtdancer 时间: 2011-3-23 16:13 标题: 关于非谓语动词就近修饰还是修饰主语的疑问——附两个例子比较 OG12 第一题中C选项如下 The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia, were sighted in 1770 by the English navigator Captain James Cook, naming them supposedly since their sheer wet rocks glistened like glass. OG对C为什么错的解释如下 As the object of a preposition and not the subject of the clause, James Cook does not work as the noun that the verbal phrase beginning with naming can describe; the preposition since loses the important causal logic of the sentence.
再看OG21题D选项 Neuroscientists have amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain grows and how babies acquire language. OG对D为什么错的解释为 Th e fi nal descriptor in present tense, now drawing conclusions … does not fi t the opening clause, which is in present-perfect tense (have amassed a wealth …) and seems to modify adulthood.
