下面是我对这个题的分析和理解: 234. The physical structure of the human eye enables it to sense light of wavelengths up to 0.0005 millimeters; infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye. (A) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye
(B) however, the wavelength of infrared radiation--0.1 millimeters--is top long to be registered by the eye making it invisible (修饰eye, 而不是修饰radiation)
(C) infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long for the eye to register it (it 直待不清楚,因为从句because的引导,it 直待了because后面出现的主语,wavelength, 因此register it就表明register wavelength, 而不是register radiation.意思错误)
(D) however, because the wavelength of infrared radiation is 0.1 millimeters, it is too long for the eye to register and thus (省略了it is 这里的it = the wavelength,所以说wavelengh is invisible 也错误) invisible
(E) however, infrared radiation has a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long for the eye to register, thus making it invisible (it直待不清楚,并且that引导的限定定语从句限定了0。1波长的范围,而不是描述他们的共有特性) Choice A, the best answer, is clear, idiomatic, and grammatically correct. In B, the misplaced participial phrase making it invisible modifies eye rather than wavelength, thus producing a confusing statement that distorts the meaning. In C, D, and E the use of the second it is so imprecise as to be confusing. Furthermore, in D, and thus invisible incorrectly modifies wavelength rather than infrared radiation. Choice E produces an illogical statement by using a restrictive clause introduced by that where a comma followed by the nonrestrictive "which" is required: a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long nonsensically suggests that not all wavelengths of 0.1 millimeters are too long for the eye to register. |
