159。
            

错选A，应选E

 As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years and a board member for 28 years， Joan Philkill attended more than 400 meetings and reviewed more than 700 rezoning applications.

(A) As the former

(B) The former

(C) Former

(D) She was

(E) As the

※句子结构：As…， Joan Philkill attended… and reviewed…

【考点】逻辑表达、句子结构
            

逻辑表达，注意前后文所表达的意思，在词的含义上是否会有不符合逻辑之处。
            

※句子结构，平行的句子必须有连词连接。
            

(A) as the former chair… for 18 consecutive years不符合逻辑，而且主词动词是attended…，如果是former chair，attended…也是不符合逻辑的。
            

(B) former用错，原因与A选项相同。
            

(C) 缺少冠词a或the。
            

(D) 两个句子连接不当，缺少连词；chair前面缺少冠词。
            

(E) 正确。
        

求助，A 为什么错啊，为什么我看不懂啊？哪位大侠出来解释一下吧！

As the former chair of the planning board for 18 consecutive years
翻译一下就是:做了18年的"前主席".
而事实上...那18年不是在做"前主席"，而是做"主席".

understand,thanks
