7. (24727-!-item-!-188;#058&001574) So-called green taxes, which exact a price for the use of polluting or nonrenewable fuels, are having a positive effect on the environment and natural resource base of countries as varied as China, the Netherlands, and Hungary. C A (A) as varied as (B) as varied as are (C) as varied as those of (D) that are as varied as (E) that are varied as are
语法笔记的解释是: 习惯用语 A as varied as B, A和B要平行,B用来解释、举例A. 选项A正确,varied是过去分词作后置定语修饰countries.
我的看法是,感觉应该选C更为“平行和对称”。因为varied是表示“多种多样的”,而题目的意思我认为是说,是“环境和资源”多种多样的,而不是说“国家是多种多样的”,也就是说,varied是修饰前面整个的部分--environment and natural resource base of countries 而不是如语法笔记分析的那样是仅仅“varied是过去分词作后置定语修饰countries”。众所周知,中国的环境和资源确实是多种多样的,从常识理解这里的varied肯定也是说“环境和资源”的。
另外,语法笔记分析选项错误时说:those指代不清楚,而前面恰好有environment and natural resource base of countries 是复数形式,那么这里的those就是指代“环境和资源”,后面直接加of china等国家,不是恰好和前面非常对称吗?
鄙人不才 请大家指教!谢谢!
