New hardy varieties of rice show promise of producing high yields without the costly requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties.
128. New hardy varieties of rice show promise of producing high yields without the costly requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties. (A) requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties (B) requirements by earlier high-yielding varieties of application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation (C) requirements for application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation of earlier high-yielding varieties (D) application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties (E) irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties Choice E, the best answer, clearly and grammatically expresses the idea that two costly procedures, irrigation and the application of... fertilizer, were required by earlier high-yielding varieties of rice. In A, the placement of by earlier... varieties immediately after application of fertilizer suggests that the varieties applied the fertilizer. In B and D, the phrase application of... fertilizer and irrigation is ambiguous in meaning: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations. In C, only irrigation--not both irrigation and fertilization--is clearly associated with the earlier... varieties of rice. 这个题目我有些疑惑,主要是谁修饰谁,and到底连接谁,应该怎么并列, 请高手帮我看一下我如下的分析对否,我总觉得这个句子很难划分, 好像选择那种方法时都对,已经晕了. 最可怕的是正确的答案E我也认为有歧异, 不知道我的关于E的理解怎么搞的,(括号里面的都是单独划出的修饰成分), 我得那些划分哪些开始正确的理解,哪些时不对的,请指点! 1. A (requirements of irrigation) and (application of commercial fertilizer) by earlier high-yielding varieties 2. A requirements of (irrigation and application) of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties 3. B requirements (by earlier high-yielding varieties) of application of (commercial fertilizer and irrigation) 4. B requirements (by earlier high-yielding varieties) of (application of commercial fertilizer) and (irrigation) 5. C requirements for (application of commercial fertilizer) and (irrigation of earlier high-yielding varieties) 6. C requirements for application of (commercial fertilizer and irrigation) of earlier high-yielding varieties 7. D application of (commercial fertilizer and irrigation) that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties 8. D (application of commercial fertilizer) and (irrigation) that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties 9. E (irrigation and application) of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties 10. E (irrigation) and (application of commercial fertilizer) that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties
1. A (requirements of irrigation) and (application of commercial fertilizer) by earlier high-yielding varieties: wrong 2. A requirements of (irrigation and application) of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties : wrong 3. B requirements (by earlier high-yielding varieties) of application of (commercial fertilizer and irrigation) : wrong 4. B requirements (by earlier high-yielding varieties) of (application of commercial fertilizer) and (irrigation) : right 5. C requirements for (application of commercial fertilizer) and (irrigation of earlier high-yielding varieties) : wrong 6. C requirements for application of (commercial fertilizer and irrigation) of earlier high-yielding varieties :wrong 7. D application of (commercial fertilizer and irrigation) that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties :wrong 8. D (application of commercial fertilizer) and (irrigation) that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties : right 9. E (irrigation and application) of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties : wrong 10. E (irrigation) and (application of commercial fertilizer) that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties : right
Since "irrigation" and "application of commercial fertilizer" are two measures required by earlier high-yielding varieties, they should be paralleled.
