在新东方上课的时候，老师讲过base只能用于被动，被翻译成为“被基于”，这样第25题的A选项的逻辑就不对了，所以选E

但是，如果这样理解的话，那么第28题的答案B  不就理解为Mochica被基于civilization，发展了他们自己的社会~

实在想不太通呀~~求NN们为我解答一下吧~

楼上正解。

过去分词位于句首，修饰主语。

25.Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as Bona Dea, "the good goddess."

过去分词位于句尾，优先作定于修饰前面的名词；如果紧接谓语，也可以作状语。

28.Building on civilizations that preceded them in coastal Peru, the Mochica developed their own elaborate society, based on cultivating such crops like corn and beans, the harvesting of fish and shellfish, and exploiting other wild and domestic resources.

不过B有点修饰不清的意味吧~~~，其实B选项应该优先修饰主语的吧，这题无奈，只能选B了~

b的based on修饰society,不修饰主语
