110. (30191-!-item-!-188;#058&004698)
The ivory-billed woodpecker, once the largest woodpecker in North America at a striking 20 inches
tall, has moved in and out of the extinct category, with scientists consistently unable to find solid
proof for the bird to still exist.
(A) for the bird to still exist
(B) for the bird as still existing
(C) for the bird's continued existence
(D) that the bird still exists
(E) of the bird and its continued existence
C. for… continued existence表达啰嗦
E. and后面的its continued existence与solid proof并列,作find的宾语,不符合逻辑意思。
句子结构:The ivory-billed woodpecker, …, has moved…, with…
with部分为复合型独立主格结构。但句子考查的部分仅为proof的限定性定语从句。句子划线部分想表
习惯用语(Idiom)、逻辑表达(Logical Predication)
1) proof的常用表达方式为proof for sth, proof that从句。
2) and连接并列结构时,要注意其连接对象在逻辑上是否平行,是否符合原句意思。
解释中说proof的常用表达方式为proof for sth, proof that从句,那么A和C答案都复合proof for sth呀,为什么说它们错了呢?C答案只简单说是啰嗦,求进一步解释。谢谢大家
