Season 2——manhattan 25（ on the Tarcoles River ）

25. Many daring vacationers who participatein guided boat tours on the Tarcoles River encounter native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, whose eyes and noses are peeking out from the surface of the murky water.
        A       encounter native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, whose eyes and noses are peeking out
        B       encountered native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, whose eyes and noses peek out
        C       had encountered native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, whose eyes and noses peek out
        D      encounter native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, with eyes and noses peeking out
        E       encounter native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, with eyes and noses that are peeking out



In the original sentence, the modifier“whose eyes and noses are peeking out…” incorrectly refers to “shallows.” Whenused to introduce a noun modifier, “whose” always refers to the immediatelypreceding noun. In this case, the author intends to refer to the “crocodiles,”not the “shallows.”


(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeatsthe original sentence.

(B) The modifier “whose eyes and noses peekout…” incorrectly refers to “shallows.” When used to introduce a noun modifier,“whose” always refers to the immediately preceding noun. In this case, theauthor intends to refer to the “crocodiles,” not the “shallows.” Further, thepast tense “encountered” is inconsistent with the present tense “participate.”When there is no compelling reason to change tenses, consistency is preferred.Also, the past tense “encountered” seems to imply that these encounters havealready happened. However, it is clear from the original sentence that theencounters are ongoing occurrences for “vacationers who participate in guidedboat tours.”

(C) The modifier “whose eyes and noses peekout…” incorrectly refers to “shallows.” When used to introduce a noun modifier,“whose” always refers to the immediately preceding noun. In this case, theauthor intends to refer to the “crocodiles,” not the “shallows.” Further, thepast perfect “had encountered” is used incorrectly. The past perfect tenseshould only be used to specify the first of two past events. Here, there are nopast events.

(D)CORRECT. The adverbial modifier “with eyes andnoses peeking out” correctly modifies the verb "lurking." As thisexample shows, adverbial modifiers do not need to be placed adjacent to theverbs they modify. Further, the present tense “encounter” is consistent withthe present tense “participate.”

(E) While the adverbial modifier “with eyesand noses that are peeking out” correctly modifies the verb"lurking," this phrasing is unnecessarily wordy. The more concise“with eyes and noses peeking out” is preferred.

题目点评：
本题涉及考点：时态，修饰，

鉴于未划线部分动词participate用的是一般现在时，根据句意推断，主干中encounter也应该是使用一般现在时，排除B、C选项。

A,B,C选项中，都使用了whose引导定语从句，修饰的是前面一个名词，即shallows，逻辑意思不对，因此排除。其中有筒子回复说A中的are peeking out表达的语义不是太好，这个理解是正确的，它会给人一种“时刻感”，但其实这里描述的是一个普遍现象。

剩下D、E选项，一眼就能对比出E选项wordy了。正确选项D，独立主格成分with eyes and noses peeking out from the surface of the murky water 是伴随状语，表伴随的条件或状态，修饰lurking这个动作，是对它的具体化。

类似句子结构在第一季悬赏令中也有一题：

另外筒子提到的monkey的这道题也是类似的：

Visitors to the park have often looked upinto the leafy canopy and saw monkeys sleeping on the branches. whose arms andlegs hang like socks on a clothesline.

(A) saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs hang
(B)  saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs were hanging
(C) saw monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging
(D) seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging
(E)  seen monk eys sleeping on the branches, whose arms and legs have hung

思维点评：
1，“DE：用with表伴随，修饰主语动词encounter，表示那些旅行者眼睛和鼻子在水下，那逻辑意思也不符。所以只有B
问毛毛：如果我就针对encounter的时态不可能是过去完成，也不应该是一般现在，是不是能直接选B？”——innerwarrior
With型独立主格，与主句形成紧密的逻辑关系，并不是与主语。它可以修饰主句主语，也可以修饰前面的分句。
句意描述的是一个一直存在的事情，所以恰恰好是要用一般现在时噢。

2，“从句不是完整句直接排除AE，且是进行时with修饰谓语，逻辑不合排除DE，且n that be形式不好
对于谓语一般现在时态考虑who participatein tours修饰主语，我个人没有作为判定主句时态的标准”——geniealice
不太明白第一句话，从句不是完整句？再仔细看看题目。
另外这里with也不是修饰谓语encounter，而是修饰lurking
最后，其实我最想问问的是，为啥看到了participate这个提示，却不用来做判定标准呢？

        A       encounter native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, whose eyes and noses are peeking out (离crocodiles有点远吧)

所以选d
顺便问问什么时候公布答案呢？

bonfin

1.关于whose的用法，OG12 102题的解释说要就近修饰（refer to immediate antecedent），所以A、B、C选项中的whose不能修饰crocodiles，排除。
2.分词作定语比从句更为简洁，所以D>E.
3.另外C的过去完成时错误。

选D。

       A       encounter native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, whose eyes and noses are peeking out
       B       encountered native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, whose eyes and noses peek out
       C       had encountered native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, whose eyes and noses peek out
       D      encounter native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, with eyes and noses peeking out
       E       encounter native crocodiles lurking in the shallows, with eyes and noses that are peeking out

选B
许多度假者（参与T河观光的）遇到当地的C（潜伏在水里），C的眼睛和鼻子时不时的冒出水面。

A：are peaking out表示正在，和逻辑意思不符。
C：过去完成，意思是现在不会遇到了，和逻辑意思不符
DE：用with表伴随，修饰主语动词encounter，表示那些旅行者眼睛和鼻子在水下，那逻辑意思也不符。所以只有B

问毛毛：如果我就针对encounter的时态不可能是过去完成，也不应该是一般现在，是不是能直接选B？
C

好trick的题目！选D。

选B


从句不是完整句直接排除AE，且是进行时with修饰谓语，逻辑不合排除DE，且n that be形式不好
C的完成时句中没有指示，排除C
对于谓语一般现在时态考虑who participate in tours修饰主语，我个人没有作为判定主句时态的标准

在不知道 crocodiles lurking peeking 的情况下，选了D
ABC whose应该紧跟被修饰的名词，且BC时态不对
E中that are peeking out累赘

后来查到 crocodiles 鳄鱼，lurking 潜藏，peeking 瞥视（额，原谅我词汇贫乏吧）
那就更选D了~with就近伴随lurking，即伴随鳄鱼的动作

这让我想到了那道visitor和monkeys的题，with是可以就近伴随的（也就是伴随逻辑主语的动作），而不是伴随主语vacationers 的encounter动作
