A. in which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, thereby slowing B. in which they use thin layers of extra paper in decreasing the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, which slows C. that uses thin layers of extra paper to decrease the amount of oxygen when it enters the cigarette, thereby slowing D. for which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen that enters the cigarette, and thereby slowing E. using thin layers of extra paper in decreasing the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette, which slows
答案是A,我选的D。A和D的区别有二,其一是介词的不同。但是在我看来,for是不是更好呢?这个extra paper应该是指cigarette外面包的那层纸吧?从空间结构上理解,这层纸不应该是be used in the cigarette。 其二是thereby和and thereby,这里我想问个问题:thereby表示的是结果,所以承接的句子与上句是因果的逻辑关系,是不是thereby之前就不可以再用“and”了?(因为and表示的并列关系)。

其二是thereby和and thereby,这里我想问个问题:thereby表示的是结果,所以承接的句子与上句是因果的逻辑关系,是不是thereby之前就不可以再用“and”了?(因为and表示的并列关系)。 这个你说的是对的呢,也是今天刚刚在路上复习白勇语法看到的一个知识点,就是v+ing形式在句尾做伴随状语的第二种情况,伴随结果状语,这是前面的的整个句子是原因,没有逻辑主语,可以在分词前加上thus, thereby, in effect等词,也可以加
