求助机经一题

隔了几天重新看这题，对E中的what it is有了疑惑

what=the thing that，则what it is=the thing that it is,

那么that在定语从句中必作宾语，这样接后面的precisely the opposite是什么结构呢? precisely应该修饰is, 如果变成修饰the opposite,也该是precise

所以E该是Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what is，既没有it又没有comma, 与后面才能连接other than what is precisely the opposite, ....

am I right?请指教

选B!

B's "which" is wrong, in C, if "that" can refer to "radio", then C will be the answer

忽然又看到想起这个题，再分析下，呵呵。

在选项E中，precisely。。。其实是插入语，插入语的特点是可以不和句子中的任何成分构成语法关系。我可以插入besides，也可以插入totally the other way around，也可以插入I thought。所以precisely就是没有修饰对象，不对E构成任何伤害。

选项C，还是不喜欢。按说It吧，应该优先指代主句的主语，也可以就近指代了，但it指代的是中间的一个单数词，很有指代不行的嫌疑；再看insdead这个词，insdead了就应该构成对比吧，顺着读下来it就很容易指代到Morconi那去了；另外，insdead和precisely the opposite也重复了。

因此我还是支持E；虽然E的conceive of sth to be sth我没办法证明到底是对是错 （但我觉得to be的含义是清楚的，表达了当时的“未来状况”而非已存），但E的对仗只工整，比较之清晰，层次之鲜明，足以让我投它。

这个题目涉及到几乎语法的大部分考点，真的有价值。Open for continue disscussion。

Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

 

A、Marconi’s conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is

B、Marconi conceived of the radio as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, but which is

C、Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation that could substitute for the telephone; instead, it has become

D、Marconi conceived of the radio to be a tool for private conversation, a substitute for the telephone, which has become

E、Marconi conceived of the radio to be a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation, other than what it is,

盼大牛指点：）

C

理由：conceive ... as 固定用法，de不对；b中：but连接词，后面加完整的句子，which不能做主语，b错；a中，后半句的it应该指代radio，然而在主句中radio是被形容的成分，不能被指代；

c中的radio是句子的宾语，可以被指代
