1. GWD30-Q1: The artistRenoir’s last word was “flowers,” spoken as they arranged a bouquet of rosesjust picked from his garden in a vase on his bedroom windowsill.
A. as they arranged a bouquet of roses justpicked from his garden B. as a bouquet of roses had been just pickedfrom his garden and was being arranged C. as a bouquet of roses just picked from hisgarden was being arranged D. during the arrangement of a bouquet of rosesjust picked from his garden E. while they arranged a bouquet of roses thathad just been picked from his garden 答案是C.
The actual mistake in choice D is the word "arrangement". "Arrangement" doesn't refer to the process of arranging something; it refers to the arrangement that results from that process.
(Similarly, "as I was judging xxxx" makes sense. "During my judgment of xxxxx" doesn't, because a judgment is a conclusion, not the process of arriving at that conclusion.)
我来补充点东西好,这道题目也想了蛮久。
B我觉得从语法是没有问题的,但是关键是meaning.
last words, spoken as....意思是他者最后几个字是在什么时候说的。
那么这个as之后跟的必须表示一个时间,而不是两个时间。像B中的as rose had been picked up和as rose was being arranged是两个时间,所以不能并列在这里。
mm我来回答你,虽然过去两年了,呵呵 我选B了,但是完全是因为想多了,我当时的第一反应是采花应该在spoken前,所以我觉得应该用had been just picked , 而插花是在spoken的同时,所以要用 was being arranged。 anyway, 没有那么复杂啦,这里的spoken是分词形式修饰'flowers', picked直接修饰花就好了,因为这里不强调采花这个动作是在前还是怎样,但是这里强调了插花这个动作是同时,spokenasa bouquet of roses just picked from his garden was being arranged. p.s open to discuss
