标题: [求助]大全 25:分词短语到底修饰谁?
      A recent study of ancient clay deposits has provided new evidence supporting the theory of global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact that contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other creatures some 65 million years ago.


(A) supporting the theory of global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact that


(B) supporting the theory that global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact


(C) that supports the theory of global forest fires that were ignited by a meteorite impact and that


(D) in support of the theory that global forest fires were ignited by a meteorite impact and thatB


(E) of support for the theory of a meteorite impact that ignited global forest fires and



这道题答案我选对了,但是我的想法和白勇讲的不一样,就是关于 contributed…… 这个分词短语修饰谁的问题。我觉得 contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs and……是就近修饰 a meteorite impact 的,而白勇说是修饰 global forest fires 的。他说是全球的森林大火导致 the extinction of the dinosaurs,而不是 meteorite impact导致恐龙灭绝。但是按照分词短语就近修饰原则,难道不是 meteorite impact 导致 the extinction of the dinosaurs 吗?


请牛牛们指点一下!

global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact是主语,ignitedby是过去分词作定语,contributed to是谓语。你可能把contributed to理解成过去分词了。

1,vi:contribute to sth:导致,促成,使发生。

2,vt:contribute sth t给...,捐sth,贡献sth。

所以sth contributed to sth/sb很容易被理解成 2的被动形式,但这样句子就没有谓语了。

supporting the theory that global forest fires(主语) (ignited by a meteorite impact  修饰fires)contributed(谓语) to the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other creatures some 65 million years ago.

阴险啊。

如果这么一解读,的确是B最简洁,清晰
