以下是引用Winterfish在2007-11-5 10:52:00的发言:这个我也选B了。总觉得原文结构是theory that ...and that...才对。我以为第二个that是省略掉了,呵呵 theory that ... and of ...怪怪的,从来没听说过的,而且感觉of有歧义,不知哪位有兴趣再来讨论一下啊 你说的这种 theory that ... and that 结构, 第二个that 从来不会省略, 而且第二个that 非常关键,常常是解题点. 但是这里不是你说的那个结构,而是 介词并列的并列. Recent findings lend strong support to the theory that a black hole lies at the center of the Milky Way and of many of the 100 billion other galaxies estimated to exist in the universe 这里如果去掉of 就是结构 the theory that a black hole lies at the center of the Milky Way and many of the .... 这里的平行是有歧义的,大家不知道这里的many of 是和center 平行的还是和the MW 平行的. 所以有介词的时候, 尤其是有 A OF B AND C 结构时,一定要补出介词,否则有歧义 .OG 里有类似题目,大家可以参考 the theory that a black hole lies at the center of the Milky Way and (at the center) of many of the ... 就不可能有任何歧义的.\
128. New hardy varieties of rice show promise of producing high yields without the costly requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties. (A) requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties (B) requirements by earlier high-yielding varieties of application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation (C) requirements for application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation of earlier high-yielding varieties (D) application of commercial fertilizer and irrigation that was required by earlier high-yielding varieties (E) irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties Choice E, the best answer, clearly and grammatically expresses the idea that two costly procedures, irrigation and the application of... fertilizer, were required by earlier high-yielding varieties of rice. In A, the placement of by earlier... varieties immediately after application of fertilizer suggests that the varieties applied the fertilizer. In B and D, the phrase application of... fertilizer and irrigation is ambiguous in meaning: it cannot be clearly determined whether applying fertilizer and irrigating are a single operation or two distinct operations. In C, only irrigation--not both irrigation and fertilization--is clearly associated with the earlier... varieties of rice. |
