Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs, merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors.
(A) merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors
(B) merging the nuclei of atoms instead of splitting them apart, like nuclear reactors
(C) merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors do
(D) and merges the nuclei of atoms but does not split them apart, as is done in unclear reactors
(E) and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart 很明显,is这个动作和merge这个动作不可能是同时发生的,也不可能是前一个句子的整体导致后面动作的发生,所以使用merge就错了。大家可以注意到,ABC三个选项都在引诱你使用伴随状语,这就是ETS的险恶用心。所以答案必须在DE中筛选。
对这道题我有不同想法:分词短语做状语不仅可以表伴随,还可以表原因。我感觉此题的分词短语merging...作状语表原因修饰谓语is的,即:Nuclear fusion是通过...的方式来产生force的。
只是,C选项的表达引起了歧义:merging..这个动作成了后面nuclear reactors的行为了。所以此题也只能选E。但如果题目中没有as后面的部分话,我觉得还是用分词短语比and句子好。
请大家继续讨论!
