OG12 第42道SC 42. Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest. (A) extending (B) extends (C) extended (D) it extended (E) is extending Parallelism; Verb form Th e original sentence is correctly written. Th e giant fungus is described as an interwoven filigree spawned … some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres. Th e present participle extending parallels the past participle spawned. 为什么要选A 而不选B呢? -- by 会员 hongyalin (2010/2/7 9:32:01)
首先,B肯定不对,从平行的角度上看,应该是分词平行而不是动词平行。
一般很容易选C(我就是死这儿了),因为spawned和extended平行。可是逻辑上不符合。因为这什么倒霉真菌蘑菇到今天依然活的好好的。ETS显然不想灭绝濒危生物。
C最好,因为用extending表明从过去的一个小孢子,扩展到今天有30英亩那么大。是从过去到现在一直进行的动作。最合适。 |
