答案是D
我的问题是First opened in 1892, then rebuilt in 1900中间为什么不加连接词(then是副词)。
来来来,放一起讨论 http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_SC/thread-424586-1-1.html 摘抄正确句子如下: The owner of Steele’s Grocery in Osage, Ohio, saved $600 monthly on heat during the winter by putting all his refrigerator air compressors together in an insulated compartment, then installing two fans and a duct that carried waste heat from the compressors into the main part of the store. ... owner ... saved ... by putting ... then installing ...
我没说具体,then这种时序性的词比较特殊,有连词功能,在这里就是可以看做是一个"连词",其可以连接除了"包含谓语动词的成分之外"的并列成分(当然这个并列成分要有时序关系)。很多字典都说到了then的这个引申用法. -- by 会员 aeoluseros (2009/2/27 23:44:00)
还有别的地方搜来的说法:
then 与and、but类似可以做连词,不同的是and 从意思上讲做的是并列连词,而but做的是转折连词。then做的是顺序连词,从时间及顺序上表示承接。因此,then可以放在句首做连词,但在这句话前面需要另有一句作为承启句,才能接then后面的句子作为转折, 比如:I help him domany excercises, then he success to pass the exam. 我帮助他做了很多练习,然后他通过了考试。
