7. Research during the past several decades on the nature of language and the processes that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity. (A) that produce and make it understandable has revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity (B) of producing and understanding it have revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity (C) by which it is produced and understood has revealed not underlying simplicity but great complexity (D) by which it is produced and understood have revealed great complexity rather than underlying simplicity (E) by which one produces and understands it have revealed great complexity instead of underlying simplicity 新东方给出的答案是A。 可是A中produce后缺少宾语啊!如果认为与make共用it作其宾语,我认为是不可以的。因为it后面还有understandable,要共用,这个understandable总得也要共用吧?但意思是荒谬的。我认为A是错的,正确答案应该是C。C虽然是被动,但没有错误啊。请高手们指教。
C, 没有什么好说的,我在网上查了许多 process by which的例句,确实 process by which it is produced and understood 就是说语言被创造和理解的过程,这里之所以会有如此多的争议,我想应该就是从句的被动,大家总想着 it is produced and understood by somebody,其实我认为不是一回事,这里是by process的用法:a process by which people produced and understood it process by which it is produced and understood同样都对. 反而A中的process用法错误,什么叫process make...? A的错误是人都能一眼看出来,我觉得ETS不会变态到找这种大家一眼看上去都错的选项做正确答案的 |
