21。 Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, are now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain grows and how babies acquire language. (A) Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, are (B) Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of knowledge about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood over the past twenty years, and are (C) Neuroscientists amassing a wealth of knowledge about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood over the past twenty years, and are (D) Neuroscientists have amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, (E) Neuroscientists have amassed, over the past twenty years, a wealth of knowledge about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood, 答案是A OG对D项的解释: The final descriptor in present tense, now drawing conclusions....does not fit the opening clause, which is in present-prefect tense(have amassed a wealth)and seems to midify adulthood.
那还想请问,既然这里没有主系表结构,分词短语为什么也会有做定语修饰adulthood的嫌疑?因为og第一题的c项,就是我第一个问题里面,og的解释是分词短语不能做定语修饰前面这个名词的啊,这里怎么又可以做定语修饰前面的名词了呢?og解释岂不是矛盾? 求高人指点。。。 -- by 会员 guoshanche (2010/11/2 20:54:13)
现在分词在句尾用逗号隔开,必须要注意的一点是这个结构从来都没有失去过“做定语”的功能,只是优先做状语而已,或者也可以说是优先修饰到前面主句的主语和谓语头上去。 而如果前面主句的谓语是完成时态,那么既然已经完成了,drawing就无法再做其的伴随,所以只剩下做定语的功能。So OG says that. |
