OG11th-44 44.The automotive conveyor-belt system, which Henry Ford modeled after an assembly-line technique introduced by Ransom Olds, reduced from a day and a half to 93 minutes the required time of assembling a Model T. (A) from a day and a half to 93 minutes therequired time of assembling a Model T (B) the time being required to assemble a Model T,from a day and a half down to 93 minutes (C) the time being required to assemble a Model T,a day and a half to 93 minutes (D) the time required to assemble a Model T from a day and a half to 93 minutes (E) from a day and a half to 93 minutes, the time required for the assembling of a Model T The underlined portion of the original sentence is awkward because the verb reduced is followed by a prepositional phrase rather than the direct object time. Changing this structure so that the object immediately follows the verb, reduced the time, also allows an idiomatic error to be corrected. Required should be followed by an infinitive, to assemble, rather than a prepositional phrase, of assembling. The phrase indicating time should be used to complete the sentence: reduced the time required to assemble a Model T from a day and a half to 93 minutes. 选D 注意看这到题,这里的reduced the time 似乎和4题的double the figure一个样 解释里说是the time做动词reduced的直接宾语 |
