PREP1-69

The proliferation of so-called cybersquatters, people who register the Internet domain names of high-profile companies in hopes of reselling the rights to those names for a profit, led to passing the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in 1999, allowing companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent of selling them later.

(A) passing the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in 1999, allowing companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent of selling

(B) the passage of the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in 1999, which allows companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent that they will sell

(C) the passage in 1999 of the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, which allows companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent of selling

(D) the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, which was passed in 1999, and it allows companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent to sell

(E) the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, passed in 1999 and allowing companies to seek up to $100,000 in damages against those who register domain names with the sole intent of selling

答案是C，个人觉得时间状语应该放在句子的开头或末尾，C答案放中间我觉得不是很可取，B最后介词with后面不可以跟从句吗？是这个错吗？谢谢啦

比较划线开头，lead to 的是act的passage，排除DE，passing表持续动作不好，排除A

剩下BC

B，which可以修饰1999这个时间，举例，你什么时候出生的？（when）     92年或93年，哪年（which）是你出生的年?

同时，（我自己的感觉）in 1999修饰可能有歧义，修饰act还是修饰pass？修饰act可能意思是1999已经有提议这个act，但是当年没passage。修饰passage就是说act不知道什么时候提出的，但是是在1999passage的

跟5楼有同样的意见。

我觉得prep对B选项的解释可以再探讨一下：

(A) 从逻辑意思上看The proliferation…导致的结果是反域名强占保护法案的通过,而不是通过的过程,因此passing应该改为passage,强调结果.in 1999既可能修饰Act也可能修饰passing,导致修饰不清；分词结构allowing…修饰有歧义。

(B) in 1999位置不对,导致修饰不清;with the sole intent that they will sell表达复杂,笨拙.

(C) 正确, lead to the passage强调了结果;which非限定定语从句修饰Act,意思表达清楚;时间状语in 1999紧靠修饰对象the passage,修饰无歧意;用of selling修饰名词intent表达正确

(D) 从逻辑意思上看,The proliferation…导致的结果是法案的通过,而不是导致了法案,因此lead to the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, which was passed in 1999意思表达不完整;with the sole intent to sell错误,应该改为with the sole intent of selling.

(E) 错误同D,逻辑意思表达不完整

我个人觉得B选项前半句和C选项前半句并没有本质区别，只是C选项的Consumer Protection Act, which allows 看起来更工整、更规矩一点，我觉得B前面不存在重大问题，是否导致修饰不清并不是cut B选项的重要决定因素。

反而是后面的they指代不清，因为离它最近的就是names，they指代成names，而逻辑上应该是those。

A选项的allowing为什么错？怎么修饰歧义了？

不谈别的错误原因。

doing分词短语在句尾

1.表示动作，状态，功能，逻辑主语等于句子主语

2.表示伴随结果，主句是因，导致分词动作产生，无逻辑主语

这里allowing很是适合第二条啊，led to the passage是因， allowing是果

盼解答！！！
