以下是引用香香茶在2006/6/6 13:02:00的发言：我刚才又仔细看了看，有了点新想法。 首先，句子的主语必须是in addition to being的逻辑主语，能够成为adminstrators的只可能是the Shang而非culture。这里的the Shang我把它理解为商朝的人，而非商朝本身。从逻辑上来看，文化（或文明）不能是中国第一代统治者，只有人才是，所以确定了主句的主语。 其次，既然主语是人了，那么单复数就好定了。你也许会说人怎么可能成为文化呢，这一点让OG来证明： 17. Native American burial sites dating back 5,000 years indicate that the residents of Maine at that time were part of a widespread culture of Algonquian-speaking people. (A) were part of a widespread culture of Algonquian-speaking people (B) had been part of a widespread culture of people who were Algonquian-speaking (C) were people who were part of a widespread culture that was Algonquian-speaking (D) had been people who were part of a widespread culture that was Algonquian-speaking（A） (E) were a people which had been part of a widespread, Algonquian-speaking culture Choice A is best because it correctly uses the simple past tense, the residents... at that time were, and because it is the most concise. In B and D, the replacement of were with the past perfect had been needlessly changes the original meaning by suggesting that the Native Americans had previously ceased to be part of the widespread culture. All of the choices but A are wordy, and in C, D, and E the word people redundantly describes the residents rather than the larger group to which the residents belonged. These choices are also imprecise because they state that the culture, rather than people, spoke the Algonquian language. Choice E displays inconsistent tenses and an error of pronoun reference, people which.
