开始选了A. progress decimated...逻辑意思不对, 同意选E

    the devastation and enslavement     have.....?

有个问题:


has come to personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that


that优先指代progress, 这里通过have可以使that毫无歧意的指代devastation and enslavement. 但是改为非限定性从句是不是更好??? 限定性从句从语法上that和progress的关系过近???

weiyu 是说 E) the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere         改成 E) the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress， which have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere 吗？


偶认为不好. which 表达是devastation and enslavement 的固有特征，有any devastation and enslavement will bring about the stated effect, that is, decimation of the native people of the Western Hemisphere.     的意思。


个人感觉，不敢确定。

虽然只有一个the，但仍然是两个概念。这个问题好像以前有人提过，但我记不得是哪题了。

不好意思，没表达清楚．不过bryony是NN, 还是理解了我的困惑． bryony讲的有道理．非限定从句和限定从句除了有关系代词指代对象的远近关系外，限定行从句有部分的概念．　非限定从句有整体概念．


sth that...(不是所有的sth); sth, which(所有的sth). 好像OG有解释．还请NN确认．

嘻嘻，weiyu 你也很厉害呀。OG上面的确有，好像还挺多的。举一个吧：

234. The physical structure of the human eye enables it to sense light of wavelengths up to 0.0005 millimeters; infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye.fficeffice" />

(A)     infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long to be registered by the eye

(B)         however, the wavelength of infrared radia­tion--0.1 millimeters--is top long to be registered by the eye making it invisible

(C)     infrared radiation, however, is invisible because its wavelength--0.1 millimeters--is too long for the eye to register it

(D)     however, because the wavelength of infrared radiation is 0.1 millimeters, it is too long for the eye to register and thus invisible

(E)         however, infrared radiation has a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long for the eye to register, thus making it invisible

Choice A, the best answer, is clear, idiomatic, and grammati­cally correct. In B, the misplaced participial phrase making it invisible modifies eye rather than wavelength, thus producing a confusing statement that distorts the meaning. In C, D, and E the use of the second it is so imprecise as to be confusing. Furthermore, in D, and thus invisible incorrectly modifies wavelength rather than infrared radiation. Choice E produces an illogical statement by using a restrictive clause introduced by that where a comma followed by the nonrestrictive "which" is required: a wavelength of 0.1 millimeters that is too long nonsensically suggests that not all wavelengths of 0.1 milli­meters are too long for the eye to register.


by the way, 这个字体怎么这么小呀。
