时态最后考虑，优先考虑逻辑主语和一致性问题。可能是原则。

E为什么不可以

和the people的用法一样，the Shang是表示商这个民族，所以用复数

还是觉得这道题有问题。“the Shang were the first literate culture in East Asia”这里的shang的意思应该是商国，人怎么会是culture呢？但是“are well known as the crafters”这里的主语又是“商”人。

妖还在

以下是引用jackiexucd在2006-6-7 17:06:00的发言：

上面的几位大牛，我还是有点不太理解，为什么 the Shang were the first literate culture in East Asia and are well known as the crafters of 中，为什么一会儿用WERE，一会儿用ARE

如果说前面的were是因为Shang曾经是East Asia的first literate，那后面为什么要用are呢，它也曾经是crafters of ornate bronze ritual vessels啊

如果不看正确答案，大家到底是如何判断，它作为crafters of ornate bronze ritual vessels到底是现在仍然be well known还是现在已经不be well known了呢

跟crafters of ornate bronze ritual vessels没有关系吧.就是因为他现在仍被be well known所以用现在事态啦

我感觉人还是作为文化来讲的

我喜欢这种题目,没有划线的部分直接决定了划线部分应该怎么写.
In addition to being China’s first administrators, in the sense that they developed a coherent bureaucracy for their empire, the first literate culture in East Asia were the Shang, and they were well known for crafting ornate bronze ritual vessels.
一看到划线的first administrators,就知道主语肯定不能用culture,一看到下面的they developed,就知道主语是复数形式,看到这两点,答案也就出来了.希望考试的时候碰到的都是这种类型的题目,不考jjww的细节语法点,只考这种由已知直接推出未知的题目.

有关于为何用the Shang were the first literate culture….，因为这是过去事实，不存在现在的时间点，商朝已经灭忙了。至于the Shang are well known as the crafters…，是要表现青铜器皿在今日仍知名，我想今日没人有在作吧！如果用了过去式，就代表今日已经不知名啦，是过去知名。
