Unlike emergency calls that travel through regular telephone lines, where they thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, cellular calls require emergency operators to determine the location of the caller.

 

(A) lines, where they thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, cellular calls require emergency operators to determine the location of the caller

(B) lines and thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, cellular calls require emergency operators to determine the location of the caller

(C) lines, thus automatically informing the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, the location of the caller on a cellular phone has to be determined by the operator

(D) lines, and thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, emergency operators have to determine the location of the cellular phone caller

(E) lines, thus automatically informing the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, emergency operators receiving a cellular call have to determine the location of the caller

在A、B之间犹豫了很久，也觉得用where不是很妥当。但是具体是怎么个不对，说不上来。有哪位解答一下，谢谢

where 指代什么叻?带入句子总不是很顺畅的

而且they的指代也有值得商榷

B中and thus与前面的动作并列作宾语，这样的结构对么？我也犹豫了老久选的A

A中的where应该改为in which，典型的定语从句错误。

where应该指代地点，telephone lines显然不是。

lancyfly

老有道理呃,谢谢楼上

e太巧了，刚好我也发了这题。

prep笔记中排a的说法是a的“where”不能修饰lines。但我觉得where修饰line没有问题。

问题是where后面的这个they，向前就近指代指到了lines，指代主句主语又指代到了cellular calls，总之就是不能指代到逻辑上的主语“emergency calls”，所以排a。

and thus是对的，prep里面有其他原题是thus跟在and 后面的，表因果。

A中的指代也确实有问题。代词可指代主句主语>主句宾语>从句主语>从句宾语。所以这里优先指代cellular calls，而且无法从逻辑上排除。

就近指代的原则，除了定语从句关系词，是不适用于一般代词的。
