原句是：

During the war, no black soldier received
the Congressional Medal of Honor, America's highest award for
military heroism. In 1991, however, President George Bush presented relatives
of Cpl. Freddie Stowers with what he termed a "long overdue" Medal
of Honor in recognition of Stowers's heroism on September 28, 1918,

我查了下，有in long-overdue recognition of 的用法，且long-overdue是形容词性，所以还是选E好

我觉得C选项中 which was the nation's highest military award有了过去式意思不太准确，难道Congressional Medal of Honor现在就不是最高的军事嘉奖了吗？另外long-overdue还是形容recognition更为合适一些，否则如果修饰前面出现的名词，那会有很多歧义的

一点点绌见

这题E对。

1.三个词／词组意思很重要，弄清意思才能弄清到底修饰什么。

Award: vt (award sth to sb)

The referee awarded
a free kick.

The judge awarded
substantial damages to the victims of the explosion.

She’s been awarded
a scholarship to study at Oxford.

Recognition:
to show official gratefulness for:

Please accept this
cheque in recognition of/as a recognition of your services.

Overdue: adj. later than expected

Her baby is
overdue.

The train is 15min/long
overdue.

2. 所以这个题的考点就出在这三个词身上：

1）award后面不能加with；

2）in recognition of是颁奖的理由（和上面的例句一样），不是honor in 的搭配。

3）
the Congressional Medal of Honor是个奖的名字，
the nation’s highest military award做它的同位语，补充说明它的性质。这是个general information，不能说这个奖本身是overdue或者later than expected(我们中文里常这么说)，顶多是颁发这个事件overdue. 所以overdue的修饰对象应该是recognition, the recognition of their
outstanding bravery is overdue/later than expected.

3. 分析选项：

with错。第一个Which was多余，定语从句没必要，这里不是修饰关系，而是同位关系，the
   nation’s highest military award就是the Congressional Medal of Honor.
                而且两个which was 并列，但逻辑关系不对，后面的overdue 变成修饰the
   Congressional Medal of Honor

with 错。In recognition of搭配错。

定语从句没必要，这里不是修饰关系，而是同位关系。Long-overdue in recognition of …变成
the nation’s highest military award的同位语，逻辑意思错。

the
   nation’s highest military award for long-overdue recognition of their outstanding
   bravery整个做了
                the Congressional Medal of Honor
                的同位语。明显for their outstanding
   bravery不是这个奖的性质，不能算在同位语成分里面。且for the recognition of 搭配错。

补充一点，注意区分award和reward：两个词都可以既做名词也做动词

1.做名词

award: n. sth, especially a prize or money, given as
the result of an official decision

用中文就说“官方颁发的奖项”

reward: n. (sth gained or received as) a return for
doing sth good or valuable

用中文就是“回报，报答”

例句：

Award: an award of
S$5000 to those injured in the explosion

The
award for this year’s
best actress went to Maryl Streep.

Reward: As a reward
for passing her exams,
she got a new bike from her parents.

I don’t expect anything in reward; I did it because I enjoyed it.

The police are offering a big reward for
information about the
robbery.

2. 做动词

award: v. (award to) to give, as an official decision

reward: v.
(reward for/with) to give a reward to someone or for an
action

例句：

Award: The referee
awarded a free kick.

The judge awarded substantial damages to the victims of the explosion.

She’s been awarded a scholarship to study at Oxford.

Reward: They
rewarded the boy with S$5 for bringing back the lost dog.

How can I reward your kindness?

The engineer who supervised the work
was rewarded with bonus.
