深度挖据OG10th 128（og11th 80）

128. New hardy varieties of rice show promise of pro­ducing high yields without the costly requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties.

(A)  requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties

(B)   requirements by earlier high-yielding varieties of application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation

(C)  requirements for application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation of earlier high-yielding varieties

(D)  application of commercial fertilizer and irriga­tion that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties

(E)   irrigation and application of commercial fertil­izer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties

这道鸟题十分有意思，兄弟我觉得是把修饰问题挖据的淋漓尽致。

首先，拿到题目，我们先用动词优先，杀A，B，C。再把剩下两个选项比较，发现就是两个关键名词位置不同。再细心一看，发现一个是was，一个是were，立刻明白到，D中的required by earlier high-yielding varieties只修饰irrigation，而E中的required by earlier high-yielding varieties修饰两个关键词irrigation和appication，根据忠于原文的规定，杀D，让required by earlier high-yielding varieties修饰两个关键词。

这个杀法很爽。哥们再深度挖掘一下，觉得这条题要捕捉的ETS出题思路是修饰这个问题。

看A选项，首先，用costly修饰requirements就不合逻辑，其次，earlier high-yielding varieties只是修饰了application，同样，B，C和D也犯了同样错误，不是只修饰requirements，就是只修饰了irrigation。

大家觉得是不是这样？欢迎拍砖。

用costly修饰requirements就不合逻辑吗？能不能翻译成是需要付出很高代价的需求呢？

嘿嘿，偶是新手，刚看语法还不到一个星期，要是不对，欢迎大家拍~
