            (31376-!-item-!-188;#058&005785)

 

Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley turtle, saying that their compliance with laws requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles.

A. requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect

B. requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting

C. that require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets protect

D. to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets are protecting

E. to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting

答案：B

好难啊，这题saying引导的that从句后面主语是谁啊？

各个选项如何排除掉呢？

我这道题也做错了，后来按照答案想了一下：

saying这句的逻辑意思是：声称他们依照（法律上要求捕捉网上安装海龟排除装置的规定）的行为在保护成年海龟，所以that从句的逻辑主语是compliance，requiring是对laws的修饰，后面的protect是compliance的动作。

A，protect对应的是compliance,应该用单数protects,排除

C，同A

D，首先laws的规定是一直存在的所以不能用表目的的不定式，其次are对应compliance不对，应该用is，

E，同D。

所以排除后，B选项是对的。

如果有不对的地方请指正。

A with B结构，谓语单复数看A, 这里compliance 接with是固定搭配吧，不同于A with B结构，那你翻译的也说是这个行为在保护而不是遵照在保护...困惑，呵呵

DE不定式感觉是不好，但不知道为啥不好,这里用分词修饰感觉上好好些

不定式表目的
laws的目的不是require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp, 所以D&E are out.

A simple rule:

Be sure to use ing form immediately after a legal noun used in objective case

Legal noun are law , ban , order, decree, contract , bill, Deed etc.

example :
GMAT enacted a ban prohibiting takers from posting live questions.

Ban is the object

However, if the legal noun is used as subject of the clause then it might be appropriate to use subjunctive form

The law requires that he perform well in GMAT.

Law is the subject

Let us consider the above problem

Laws is objective case and hence requires Ing form
