204. In recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used crossbreeding, in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics and partly because crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor. (A) in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics (B) in part for the acquisition of certain characteristics in their steers (C) partly because of their steers acquiring certain characteristics (D) partly because certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers (E) partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers Choice E is best; it best indicates purpose for crossbreeding-- partly to acquire. In A, in part that does not grammatically connect the underlined portion to the first part of the sentence (the independent clause). In both A and B, in part is not parallel with and partly in the nonunderlined portion. Choice C causes a misreading, suggesting that the steers' acquisition has caused the crossbreeding. D awkwardly and illogically shifts to the passive voice: certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers; the steers, however, are not agents in the acquisition.看懂意思的话,这句很荒谬 根本上讲还是对并列理解的问题,说说容易,真正深刻的理解还是很难的,比如说形式上要并列,D看上去很美,但E却是形式上最对称的(从本质上看) 出现被动语态的时候一定要小心,除非有确切的证据(比如,后边有提示词 by,并列考虑等等),否则都是错误的。 steer 食用牛一种, 年轻公牛,尤指于性成熟前被阉割并食用的肉牛 hybrid 混血的,杂交的 要知道有前置省略这么当子事。 以上是"OG语法手册of超级菜鸟"的解释内容, 唯独最后一句没有看懂,还请大侠指教一下,究竟在这道题中, "前置省略"是指哪里的用法. 谢谢了!
