标题: prep2-SC110,未发现之前有讨论
110. (30191-!-item-!-188;#058&004698)



The ivory-billed woodpecker, once the largest woodpecker in North America at a striking 20 inches

tall, has moved in and out of the extinct category, with scientists consistently unable to find solid

proof for the bird to still exist.



(A) for the bird to still exist

(B) for the bird as still existing

(C) for the bird's continued existence

(D) that the bird still exists

(E) of the bird and its continued existence



A. proof习语用法错误

B. as existing表达错误

C. for… continued existence表达啰嗦

D.正确。

E. and后面的its continued existencesolid proof并列,作find的宾语,不符合逻辑意思。



句子结构:The ivory-billed woodpecker, …, has moved…, with…

with部分为复合型独立主格结构。但句子考查的部分仅为proof的限定性定语从句。句子划线部分想表

达的意思为:这种鸟仍在存在的证据。



习惯用语(Idiom)、逻辑表达(Logical Predication

1) proof的常用表达方式为proof for sth, proof that从句。

2) and连接并列结构时,要注意其连接对象在逻辑上是否平行,是否符合原句意思。

解释中说proof的常用表达方式为proof for sth, proof that从句,那么A和C答案都复合proof for sth呀,为什么说它们错了呢?C答案只简单说是啰嗦,求进一步解释。谢谢大家

proof THAT the bird still exists
proof FOR the existence of the bird

同意LS的说法
C中the bird's continued existence
应该换成 the existence of the bird ,因为bird是物,要用非人所有格形式

补充一下楼上的:能用动词表达的就尽量不要用名词动名词和形容词表达,否则会显得啰嗦

谢谢!但是还是不太明白A选项。为什么去掉TO之后的短语就符合STH了呢?
