188.    (28112-!-item-!-188;#058&002759)    (GWD-7-Q33)

The health benefits of tea have been the subject of much research; in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting some forms of cancer, the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis may also play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
A. in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting
B. in addition to its possibilities to prevent or inhibit
C. besides the possibility that it prevents and inhibits
D. besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of
E. besides possibly preventing or inhibiting
答案是E,我选的A,不知道为什么要用besides和or而不是in addition to和and

其實並不是in addition to 與besides的問題,問題是指代正不正確還有字詞的用法

後面的主詞是brewed leaves，所以用its,it沒有指代對象->A,B,C錯。

D選項的部分，要表達的是possible prevention...，有名詞可用就要用名詞，不要用動名詞。

因此E是最好的。

AlienX

讚同: in addition to和besides做介詞時沒有不一樣 (很奇怪, Longman上說besides只能是副詞, anyway...dictionary.com有)

如果選D, besides就成了介詞, 那就要求有平衡的對象 (OG10#241), obviously, "the preventing/inhibiting...some forms of cancer"不可能和the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis平衡, 也不可能和reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke平衡.

E的besides做了副詞, 那preventing/inhibiting成了分詞, 它們的邏輯主語就是主句主語.

or vs. and; 嚴格來說preventing和inhibiting在這都是同一個意思, 所以用or.  可是我不確定.

補充

But,Besides, since和after這四個字同樣可以身兼連接詞與介詞，如果出現在一個插入句之後，要特別注意會不會引起岐義(像是prep裡面biological traits那題)。另外一個考點是這些詞如果搭配being有可能是正確選項。

Longman第四版上面有是有besides做adv.与prep.的只是后面还跟了一个informal..:

besides  

be·sides /bɪˈsaɪdz/
        adv, prep informal
        

        spoken used when adding another reason
　I need the money. And besides, when I agree to do something, I do it.
in addition to someone or something else that you are mentioning
　The area has stunning scenery, beautiful beaches, and much more besides.
　People choose jobs for other reasons besides money.
　Besides myself, the only English people there were Keith and Doreen.
besides doing sth
　Besides being heartbroken, she felt foolish.
see usage note
        except

另外在很多地方见过很多次说in addition to与besides没区别，但是又一次见过说他两有区别的，仅作参考(这个区别有点过于subtle):

"Besides" is an exclusive term. In the sentence, "Besides chocolate, what flavor of ice cream do you like best?".. the asker wants to know about everything EXCEPT chocolate.

"In addition" is when something else is added to the list or discussion. As in, "In addition to your regular chores, I'd like you to clean the bathroom." This means you will do your regular chores AND clean the bathroom as well.

*：metimes people use "besides" when they should use "in addition", as in the last example, "Besides your regular chores, please clean the bathroom." But this is not the proper use of this word.

从别处搬来的~~~~~~~~~~


The health benefits of tea have been the subject of much research; in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting some forms of cancer, the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis may also play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

　　A. in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting

　　B. in addition to its possibilities to prevent or inhibit

　　C. besides the possibility that it prevents and inhibits

　　D. besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of

　　E. besides possibly preventing or inhibiting

　　此题咋看着 in addition to或者besides不知道怎么用，因为很多人生硬地认为主语和in addiction to 之后的东西应该平行，其实不然，该题的妙处，也是在于意合，读者需要判断，“防治癌症”这事儿，到底和句子中哪个地方有资格构成“意合”？

　　如果还没看出，请允许我重温一下老头挪位置的常用伎俩，看看这个被我挪过的句子：

　　The brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis may also play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, besides possibly preventing or inhibiting some forms of cancer

　　这会儿看明白了吧，实际上，他们需要和in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke平行，本题答案也呼之欲出了。当然，本题还有其它看点，容后再述。

　　有了这题的基础，大家应该会比较明天PREP里面大家一直郁闷的两题，答案是怎么回事，因为， In addition to 到底和谁平行，不是由谁放在主语说了算，而是意思说了算！

楼上出自
这题第一开始错选了B，但再一读就肯定了E比B好，我也不知道为什么每次都这样，做错的题让我再看一遍就马上能得出正确的，这是在仅仅用语感做题吗？好像很不靠谱。

小蘑菇开始打怪

总算搞懂这道题！

D选项： besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of some forms of cancer是作为介宾短语修饰主句主语 the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis的，意思不合理
