PREP1-125 continue的疑惑

125. (31137-!-item-!-188;#058&004397)

The computer company registered a $16 million net loss for the year, largely because it was profitable only overseas, where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing to lose money in North America.

(A) where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing

(B) where much of their profits went to pay higher taxes, as they continued

(C) where much of its profit went to pay higher taxes, while it continued

(D) with much of their profits going to pay higher taxes, while continuing

(E) with much of the profit used for paying higher taxes, as it continued

句子结构：The computer company registered…, because…, while…

主语是computer company，谓语是registered，宾语是net loss，后跟原因状语从句，关系副词where引导定语从句作插入语修饰名词overseas，while it continued…表示转折对比含义。

考点：动词形式、指代一致、逻辑表达

动词形式-现在进行时，有些动词（表示状态或感觉的词，或者表示极短暂的动作）一般不用现在进行时，比如：declare, recognize 等，continue 是表示状态的动词，不用现在进行时态。

指代一致，单数名词对应单数代词it, its，在该题中，注意未划线部分句子的提示，已经有单数代词it。

逻辑表达，while 作连词，表达“而，然而”的意思，对比两件事情；as 作连词，表达“当…时，随着”的意思，改变了原句意思，原句的连词不应随意变换。

(A) their指代单数名词company错误；表示状态的动词continue不能用现在进行时态；be used for

paying名词形式不如动词形式更简洁有效。

(B) their和they指代单数名词company错误；as作连词表示“当…时，随着”，改变了原句要表达“然而”的转折对比含义。

(C) 正确，关系副词where引导定语从句修饰名词overseas，went to pay…清楚地表达了profit的用途，while it continued表达了转折对比关系。

(D) with… +现在分词结构不能清楚地表达与overseas的关系；表示状态的动词continue不能用现在进行时态。

(E) with…+过去分词结构不能清楚地表达与overseas的关系；as作连词表示“当…时，随着”，改变了原句要表达“然而”的转折对比含义；be used for paying名词形式不如动词形式更简洁有效。
