Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, to gather information about its size and curvature of its surface, new observations have been made by astronomers that show with startling directness the large-scale geometry of the universe.
(C) Similar to the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, where they gathered informationabout its size and the curvature of its surface, astronomers have made newobservations
(D) Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth gathering information about its size and thecurvature of its surface, astronomers have made new observations
1)where
C项 where紧跟earth, 语义上理解为,navigators 在地球上收集信息,这是不对的; 这里的语义是navigator飞出地球之外 采集关于地球大小和地球表面状况的信息;
2) 关于gather的你说的表目的,我觉得并不绝对;
因为这里说的是已经发生的事情,根据后面astronomers have made new observations……可以判断出这一点;
gathering information 我认为是发生在过去的,伴随sailed around the earth的动作;
从语义对称的角度来说,后半句没有表目的,前半句在此也不需要表示目的。
综上,vote for D |
