135. The brain is something of a stimulus reduction system, a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount of stimuli that reach the senses at any given moment. (A) a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount (B) a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite number (C) the means of reducing for comprehending the nearly infinite number (D) the means that reduces, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount (E) the means for reducing in order to comprehend the nearly infinite amount 这道题来自XDF补充材料885，正确答案是B，但是我觉得comprehend后面的逗号是多余的，要不然句子的结构就出问题了
B中的comprehend后面的逗号不是多余的。 句子的结构是： The brain is something of a stimulus reduction system, a means to reduce(, in order to comprehend,) the nearly infinite number of stimuli that reach the senses at any given moment. “in order to comprehend, ”是插入成份。 如果没有comprehend后面的逗号，则其前面的reduce就没有宾语了，句子反而有了问题。 我又查了XDF的原稿，确实有。虽然，此稿非真题复印，但我确信这里没有问题。 ANYWAY，还是非常感谢nina23！！！
