46.   To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, and she remained in France during the Second World War as a performer and an intelligence agent for the Resistance.

(A)         To Josephine Baker, Paris was her home long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate

(B)         For Josephine Baker, long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Paris her home

(C)         Josephine Baker made Paris her home long before to be an expatriate was fashions

(D)        Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate, Josephine Baker made Paris her home

(E)         Long before it was fashionable being an expatriate, Paris was home to Josephine I Baker

选D吗？it是不是形式主语？

D

我觉得it指代Paris

但是expatriate是一个人哦，如果指代paris解释不通，而且从代词指代的顺序和规律上看也不对。

对的，我没注意expatriate，那只有形式主语解释的通了。

个人观点，是形式主语指代to be expatriat

xuedidage

This question is testing parallelism.  As in D :    ....made, and remained...

with Paris as the Subject.

我觉得it指代Paris

I think it means an idea, a trend.  Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate  ~= long before the trend to be an expatriate was fasionable

agree with 7th floor.

wild

I agree with 6th floor. It stands for "to be an expatriate".

I think floor 4's explanation is more reasonable.

Long before it was fashionable to be an expatriate = long before to be an expatiate was fashionable
