In the 1820’s, anthracite coalfields opened in eastern Pennsylvania, and when canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, there were substantial supplies of coal that was exported to the nation’s growing mills, forges, factories, and railways.

A.        when canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, there were substantial supplies of coal that was
B.        once canals and eventually railroads reaching into the region, there were substantial supplies of coal having been
C.        with canals and eventually railroads reaching into the region, there had been substantial supplies of coal
D.        canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, with substantial supplies of coal being
E.        as canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, substantial supplies of coal were

题目如上，正答是E。

单纯做这道题我都理解，但是不明白划线句里eventually的修饰> <
副词放在名词前面不会很怪吗？

eventually修饰reached呀，提前我赶脚是强调的意味

我和bej兄的意见稍有不同
我认为这里是作定语；当运河----最终铁路，也通了的时候。
一般来讲副词是不可以作定语的，形容词可以；但有些副词是可以作定语的Most of the people here know each other.

单就这句话来说如果翻译成状语会稍有不同----最终运河和铁路通了，这里没有一个层次感。
而原意可以表明这个过程的艰辛，逐一并最终以铁路通为完成。

仅供参考 ，不知道楼主对A选项是怎么理解的，它错在何处

我个人是觉得，在句子重心一致的情况下，A和E的后半部分差异比较大
A：there were substantial supplies of coal that was
E：substantial supplies of coal were

从语义上E的意思比较清楚结构也比较简洁
而且抛开A的there be句型不说，‘that was’修饰supplies of coal里的coal感觉有些wordy

不知道我这样想有没有问题><

*而且其实我挺犹豫能不能说supplies被export，后来google了一下有个新闻标题叫Canada To Export Nuclear Supplies To India，然后解决的E应该没问题啦~

A当然是错误的但是我不同意wordy的分析，更不同意there be 尽量别用这种完全不负责任的话。
这题不知道有没有官方的解释？

这个不属于官方的题吧应该，不过我刚才看了一个A解释觉得不错~

TAT网址被河蟹了。。。那我粘过来好啦
看看原文：In the 1820s substantial anthracite coal fields opened in eastern Pennsylvania, and as canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, substantial supplies became available to the nation’s burgeoning mills, forges, factories, and railways.

我觉得A除了累赘之外，还有一个错误，句子结构and前后不平行：

In the 1820’s, anthracite coalfields opened in eastern Pennsylvania, and when canals and eventually railroads reached into the region, there were substantial supplies of coal that was exported to the nation’s growing mills, forges, factories, and railways.

我认为这道题的错误还是在前半句，when在什么时间； 应该用as表随着，表因果

我同意你的观点，when和as表达的含义不同

可是万一作者本来就想说在运河铁路通了的时候呢？额这样问可能有点儿矫情。。。

或者换句话说，我觉得就算E的开头是when，也不能说E就是错的吧？

我认为换成when就错了，可以换成after。
只所以我认为there be 没有错，是因为当初在中学的时候学习句型之间的变换E的表达方法和A是完全可以相互变化的。尽管不能说句型的变化以后意思完全相同。这里E的表达方法也确实比A要好，但是比起你说when在E中也勉强可以算对，我认为A中的there be并不是关键的错误
