Of all the vast tides of migration that have swept through history, maybe none is more concentrated as the wave that brought 12 million immigrants onto American shores in little more than three decades.
5.Of all the vast tides of migration that have swept through history, maybe none is more concentrated as the wave that brought 12 million immigrants onto American shores in little more than three decades.
(A) maybe none is more concentrated as
(B) it may be that none is more concentrated as
(C) perhaps it is none that is more concentrated than
(D) maybe it is none that was more concentrated than
(E) perhaps none was more concentrated than
OG给的解释:
C it is none that is more ... is wordy; also, in this context, it must refer to something (unlike in phrases such as "it is clear that..."), yet it does not plausibly refer to anything.
D As in (C), it is none that was more ... is wordy; it must refer to something, yet it does not plausibly refer to anything.
G友们,C,D选项是我们熟悉的强调句吧,强调的是主语none。为什么OG给出的是这个解释,强调句it is + 强调内容+that …… 是固定句式,it的指代从来都没有考虑过,至少我是这样的。这里OG给出的这个解释,让我很抓狂,难道老外没有强调句一说吗,如果又为什么要用it的指代问题来作解释?可是prep里面明明就是有两个强调句平行的题目啊!
