Q38:

Imported into Massachusetts form Europe in 1869, the gypsy moth was used by a French

scientist in an attempt at developing a strong strain of silk-producing insects, crossing

gypsy moths with adult silkworms.

A. Imported into Massachusetts from Europe in 1869, the gypsy moth was used by a

French scientist in an attempt at developing a strong strain of silk-producing

insects, crossing gypsy moths with adult silkworms.

B. Imported into Massachusetts form Europe in 1869, a French scientist was

attempting to develop a strong strain of silk-producing insects by crossing gypsy

moths with adult silkworms.

C. To cross gypsy moths with adult silkworms, in attempting the development of a

strong strain of silk-producing insects, a French scientist in 1869 imported the

gypsy moth into Massachusetts from Europe.

D. The gypsy moth was imported into Massachusetts from Europe in 1869 by a

French scientist attempting to develop a strong strain of silk-producing insects by

crossing gypsy moths with adult silkworms.

E. In an attempt at the development of a strong strain of silk-producing insects, a

French scientist, importing the gypsy moth from Europe into Massachusetts in

1869 in order to cross gypsy moths and adult silkworms.

答案是D，我选了a，汗！这题都没有别人问，请nn帮助。

我的判断：d改变句子重心（不过句子重心在全划线题中本来就可以改变，更汗了）。如果a错，是因为最后的分词修饰错误吗？请nn帮助，谢谢。

attempt at不符合习惯搭配，所以A，E排除

B是逻辑主语的错误

C是不定式动词短语和介词短语都在句首，不太符合英语习惯吧。。。

是我的拙见~等待NN来解答。

个人愚见, 请指教:

(1) be use to 与attempt at 语意重复

(2) attempt at sth, attempt to do sth

(3) 后面的crossing, 若做伴随结果, 逻辑意思怪异, 若是修饰主语, 逻辑搭配部当

A，E in an attempt中 attempt 是名词，而他又动词用法所以这种情况下动词优先attempt to do好

B. Imported 逻辑主语不对应该是moth而此处成了a French scientist .

C,E.development 有动词形式所以develop优先，

而且c表达怪怪的，in attempting the development 好像没有这种表达方法吧 ，如果改成To cross gypsy moths with adult silkworms, attempting to develop a strong strain of silk-producing insects, a French scientist in 1869 imported the gypsy moth into Massachusetts from Europe我觉得这样会好些！

E答案，要是按照og的习惯，应该还有个错误就是主语：a French scientist跟他的谓语距离太远。。。。，好像根本没有谓语哦！

不知道我的理解的里面有啥米错误没有，希望nn们指正，别误导他人！谢！

A. Imported into Massachusetts from Europe in 1869, the gypsy moth was used by a

French scientist in an attempt at developing a strong strain of silk-producing

insects, crossing gypsy moths with adult silkworms.

看A者中的这种结构，attempt发起者是谁不清楚，这道题将A改为French scientist's attempt at doing...可以解决这个问题,但是考虑到前面的介词by，这里还不是很合理。而且后面的分词结构crossing...修饰谁看不清楚。

D中的The gypsy moth was imported into Massachusetts from Europe in 1869 by a

French scientist attempting to develop a strong strain of silk-producing insects by

crossing gypsy moths with adult silkworms.

用分词结构充当介宾结构中的宾语补足语，是一种很常见的语法结构，句意清晰，而且和后面的分词结构对称，没有任何问题。

谢谢各位热心,感谢.

我很多细节语法点都模糊了,唉D的语法结构是很完美的。

结论：attempt to；全划线题重心可以改变。

D中by a French scientist attempting是不是介词短语带分词了?

102. Except for a concert performance that the composer himself staged in 1911, Scott Joplin's ragtime opera Treemonisha was not produced until 1972, sixty-one years after its completion.

(A)  Except for a concert performance that the composer himself staged

(B)  Except for a concert performance with the composer himself staging it

(C)  Besides a concert performance being staged by the composer himself

(D) Excepting a concert performance that the composer himself staged

(E)   With the exception of a concert performance with the staging done by the composer himself

Choice A is best. In B, the participle staging inappropriately expresses ongoing rather than completed action, and the prepositional phrase containing this participle (with... it) is unidiomatic. Likewise, C uses the participle being inappropriately. In D, the use of Excepting in place of the preposition Except for is unidiomatic. Choice E is awkward and wordy.

请NN给个意见, 我在这点上一直糊涂.谢谢!

102中的错误在it，with sth done这样的结构是idom的。后面加了it就错误。

这里的by sb doing sth也是一种很长见的结构。分词结构充当介宾结构中的宾语补足语。在OG中有一种很完美变体就是sb do sth by doing sth。
