1. Archaeologists in Ireland believe that a recently discovered chalice, which dates from the eighth century, was probably buried to keep from being stolen by invaders.

(A)              to keep from

(B)              to keep it from

(C)             to avoid

(D)             in order that it would avoid

(E)              in order to keep from

 

In choice A, the phrase from
                being stolen lacks the necessary noun or pronoun that specifies what it is that might be stolen. Choice B is best because it provides the pronoun it, which refers to chalice. Like choice A, choices C and E lack the pronoun. D is wordy and awkward in its use of the passive voice. Moreover, avoid is used imprecisely in C and D because it illogically suggests that the chalice is acting to prevent its own theft.

大全解释：1)to keep it from可理解为in order to keep it from, 这样to keep的逻辑主语可与主句的主语不一致。

2)
            D is wordy and awkward in its use of the passive voice. the passive voice是指在in order that it would avoid这种结构中的being stolen, 区别与A,B,C,E结构中的being stolen。

3) avoid being done大多可认为错, 如og所说可能产生错误意思。

例：The school’s charter cannot be modified in order to avoid its being violated.(大全CR)

这里补出了its, 避免了歧义。这里avoid的主语不被认为是charter而是隐含的如：

The school’s charter cannot be modified (by sb.)in order to (sb.) avoid its being violated.

如果省去its，avoid doing，doing的逻辑主语要和avoid的主语一致，这样就会被认为是charter avoid being violated造成歧义。本题同理。

疑问：in order to 和to的区别，还有in order to 后面的动词是主语发出的，to后面的应该也是，为什么“to keep it from可理解为in order to keep it from, 这样to keep的逻辑主语可与主句的主语不一致。”

                        If a single strain of plant is used for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, it increases the likelihood that the impact of a single crop disease or pest will be disastrous.

(A) If a single strain of plant is used for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, it

(B) If a single strain of plant is used for a given crop over a wide area, as is fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, it

(C) A practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, a single strain of plant used for a given crop over a wide area

(D) A single strain of plant used for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods,（E）

(E) The use of single strain of plant for a given crop over a wide area, a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods,

Choice A is faulty because the pronoun it and the appositive a practice each lack a noun referent. Nor are there logical referents in choice B for as is and it. Choice C entails a false appositive: the sentence now says that the single strain of plant is itself a practice fostered by modern seed-marketing methods, not that the use of a single strain is such a practice. Choice D reverses the order of the constructions, but the appositive remains illogical. Choice E is correct: use is the proper subject for the verb increases and a logical governing noun for the appositive practice. This question is of middle difficulty.

B选项中说as指代错误，我查字典说as：the fact that，我想问一下as的代词的用法，一直很迷惑，谢谢
