Researchers in Germany have unearthed 400,000-year-old wooden spears from what it appears was an ancient lakeshore hunting ground as stunning evidence of human ancestors who systematically hunted big game much earlier than believed.

B. it appears had been an ancient lakeshore hunting ground and stunning evidence that human ancestors

C. appears was an ancient lakeshore hunting ground and is stunning evidence that human ancestors

D. appears to be an ancient lakeshore hunting ground, stunning evidence that human ancestors

E. appears that it is an ancient lakeshore hunting ground, stunning evidence of human ancestors who

这里D中stunning evidence做前面句子的同位语, 我想请问的是stunning evidence that human......是不是独立主格 ---- stunning evidence + that从句,构成名词+名词结构?  或者.that从句只是修饰evidence的,说明evidence的内容的?

求助.谢谢.

up一下.

谢谢了.

evidence that是个惯用法，that从句是evidence的同位语从句，说明evidence的内容。

答案是D吗？

这里的evidence that不是同位语从句，是指前面发现的东西是后面human ancestors systematically hunted big game much earlier than believed的evidence

同OG 38

38.   Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there.

(A) Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there

(B) Baltic Sea sediments, where the growth of industrial activity is consistent with these findings

(C) Baltic Sea sediments, findings consistent with its growth of industrial activity

(D) sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area（D）

(E) sediments from the Baltic Sea, consistent with the growth of industrial activity there

All of the choices but D contain ambiguities. In A and B the words which and where appear to refer to sediments, and in E it is not clear what consistent describes. In A, C, and E, there is no logical place to which there or its could refer. In D, the best choice, the phrase sediments from the Baltic Sea tells where the sediments originate, findings provides a noun for consistent to modify, and in the area clearly identifies where the industrial activity is growing.

答案是D.

我也是搞不太清楚stunning evidence that句子中的作用。看了大家的讨论，我觉得应该是stunning evidence做前面句子的同位语，而that....则修饰evidence,说明的是evidence的内容.这样理解对吗?请指教.谢谢了.

答案是D. 我觉得stunning evidence that做前面句子是同位语是没错的.

只是不太明白evidence和that从句的关系.看了大家的讨论,我觉得应该是that从句修饰 evidence,说明 evidence的内容,对吗?

请指教.谢谢大家的回复.

BTW:特别感谢tianwan的短消息.我一起床就看见了,马上上来看大家的回复.谢谢你.

这里的stunning evidence是独立主格, 用以囊跨前句整句涵义, 若说成同位语就不太对....

因为同位语不可指代前句: Mary, one of my friends, goes shoping........

至于后面的evidence that 的用法如同tianwan讲的一样....是个固定用法.....

楼上说做believed的宾语, 个人觉得不妥, 因为这里是believed和hunted平行构成两动作的比较结构,

共用主语ancestors和谓语big game
