8. 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
2. 因为指代是不可以越级的。这个可以理解C、E了,但是D我不是很懂。D的句子如下。我认为raising the humidity within them是跟moisture一级的,很多人是说修饰tourists,是that was exhaled by tourists的下一级。但是我觉得moisture raising the humidity是完全说的通的呀, 而且C也是这么说的,这两个是一级的。求解释!
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
关于语法的东西 也不是完全不懂啦 基本的简单的还是明白的 定语从句、状语从句、宾语从句简单的也是能分清的 只是每次读以纯语法角度解读的答案感觉晦涩难懂 不是很能够吃透 OG所讲的语法点是可以看懂的,因为OG不是繁杂的说明什么从句套什么从句修饰什么什么不能修饰什么什么 只是这道题OG的解读我觉得太过于简略了 要是能帮我看看我的问题所在那就多谢啦作者: brfmzbjz 时间: 2014-5-25 10:02
1. 按照加粗那句话,大概意思是说by tourist本身就是一个修饰语,所以后面them 优先指代主语而不是这个修饰语中的名词。 HOWEVER,我没有听说过加粗的那个语法原则。我的理解, D E 中用 them 问题都不大,按照句子意思 them 很难指代 tourists, because it doesn't make sense at all. OG 有的解释确实是为了解释而解释..比较勉强。其他四个选项错误太明显,不必纠结在指代这个问题上。
i'm not a big fan of this question, because it seems to go against what we expect of pronouns. the main thing to keep in mind is that pronoun ambiguity is subordinate to more rigorous grammar rules, and the other four choices have very clear mistakes..
对代词指代问题抓住下面几点就可以了。
Don't overcomplicate the issue of pronouns. With pronouns, all you have to think about is ... ... What thing/person/idea the pronoun want to stand for?
... Is there a NOUN for that thing/person/idea?
... Do the pronoun and noun match (in terms of singular/plural)?
If the answers to the last two questions are "yes" and "yes", then the pronoun is fine.
第二个问题:
D错在用了because of N+that定语从句的结构,一般改写成because条件状语从句。C中which引导的非限定性定语从句是在because状语从句的下一级,此时which从句中的them优先指代tourists,而不是跨一级的chambers。D选项中because of 短语后raising the humidity within them有做tourists定语的嫌疑,则them有可能指代tourists。
这道题通过due to不可以表原因,AB秒死。because of后不可接复杂句子,D死。未划线部分was growing与was crystallizing并列,C死。只剩E。已经完全足以找到正确选项。即使指代不是很了解,依然可以找到正确选项。作者: heidiym 时间: 2014-5-25 10:59
