想必大家都曾仔细琢磨过这道题。仅从代词单复数的角度去排除A项,但这样非常危险,一旦出现我不熟悉的单词,那我就必死无疑。后来看OG的解释,才发现before they rot when warmer weather returns与 before warmer weather returns and rots the fruit 在逻辑含义上还是有一些不同的。A项用when 从句,只能表示两个动作在时间上同时发生,而B项将A项中的when从句变成了动宾结构,同时也将这两个事情的逻辑关系从简单的时间关系(同时发生)变成了因果关系。 这个例子促使我去关注句子之间存在着的某种逻辑关系。

A.现在分词作定语表示长期,反复的动作,表示该动作是名词永久属性,常用来表示法令或权力的内容。与定语从句表示的具体,一次性动作有意义上的区别。 OG196. It is possible that Native Americans originally have migrated to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that once existed between Siberia and Alaska. A. have migrated to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that once existed B. were migrating to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that existed once C. migrated over a bridge of land to the Western Hemisphere that once existed D. migrated to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land that once existed E. were migrating to the Western Hemisphere over a bridge of land existing once Choice D, the best answer, correctly uses the past-tense verb forms migrated and existed to refer to actions completed in the past.
