115. Any medical test will sometimes fail to detect a condition when it is present and indicate that there is one when it is not. (A) a condition when it is present and indicate that there is one (B) when a condition is present and indicate that there is one (C) a condition when it is present and indicate that it is present (D) when a condition is present and indicate its presence(C) (E) the presence of a condition when it is there and indicate its presence
谢谢8楼的童鞋的回复,但我认为这个题目其实考的是对称。 detect+.......+when it is present indicate+......+when it is not (present) 多工整的对称,当时怎么就没想到呢? 所以B和D是肯定不可以的了,因为他们满足不了这个对称,而E就更无厘头了。 答案就在A和C之间产生:
主句结构是fail to (detect..(1).. and indicate..(2)..)平行关系,我认为就是说fail to detect和fail to indicate都可以单拿出来成句吧? 所以==> A1) = a condition when it is present; (2) = that there is one when it is not==>(2)中it 指代什么? B: (1) = when a condition is present; (2) = that there is one when it is not==>(2)中it 指代什么? C: (1) = a condition when it is present; (2) = that it is present when it is not ==>我选(C),it指代it指代it指代condition? D: (1) = when a condition is present; (2) = its presence when it is not==>(2)中it 指代什么? E: (1) = the presence of a condition when it is there ; (2) = its presence when it is not ==>(1)wordiness
这句话的意思是:对于任何一种医学测试,都有可能在有些时候不能正确检测出健康状况(有健康问题时显示没有,无健康问题时显示有)。英文可补全为 Any medical test will sometimes fail to detect a condition when it is present and indicate that there is a condition when it is not present.

我是觉得C项那个it is present when it is not 好不通顺。正解是不是这个a condition 必须放到最前引导两个并列结构呢?求指教。
