大全987-8

8.    A huge flying reptile that died out with the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, the Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 36 feet, believed to be the largest flying creature the world has ever seen.

(A) believed to be

(B) and that is believed to be

(C) and it is believed to have been

(D) which was, it is believed,C

(E) which is believed to be

请问为什么b中的that 不能认为和A huge flying reptile that died out with the ...中的that 平行?谢谢.

因为改变了句子意思,本句的意思不是平行的。这里的划线部分应该是修饰the Quetzalcoatlus 。能否给出正确答案?

C is best. 1)两个句子平行,意思连贯;2) it明确地指代the Quetzalcoatlus3) 根据句意应该用完成时态believed to have been,句末的has ever seen是个暗示, to have been时态上与后面的the world has ever seen对应。

A, 错在believed to be修饰对象模糊,逗号+done做定语优先修饰前面就近的名词。参考大全174

Elephants emit low-frequency sounds, believed to originate from a small area on their foreheads, that they may use as a secret language to communicate with other members of the herd.

主语+谓语+宾语,done。如果过去分词放在句末是修饰主语的,可以认为这个句型不是ETS喜欢的。

另外believed to beQuetzalcoatlus现在仍存在的意味。to have beento be好,to have beenbelieve之前就是的。

Band that在这里that指带不对。Gmatthat一般不单独用来指代某物。

D, Ewhich一般只能指前面的名词wingspan,错。

补注:done或是形容词短语,放在句末,多是修饰前面的名词,而非首先修饰句首主语。当然在没有引起歧义的情况下,有时也指向主语。在前面有名词(a wingspan)的情况下,believed to be尽量不放在句末为好,也许the Quetzalcoatlus (believed to be)had a wingspan这样放置更清楚些。这题主要还是to be the largest flying意思表达不准确。

一个老外点评:This is a badly-written sentence, without a correct answer.  In my understanding, the correct answer should read "and is believed to be (or have been) the largest flying creature the world has ever seen. However, I will default to the second best answer, which is C

我认为A huge flying reptile 应该做the Quetzalcoatlus 的同位语 逗号后面是一个完整的句子

如果B 中的that与A huge flying reptile that died out with the 平行 则句子没有谓语 不完整

不知道对不对

但为什么A不对呢
