新PREP 178——老题新问

Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley turtle, saying that their compliance with laws requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles.

A.requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect

B.requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting

C.that require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets protect

D.to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets are protecting (B)

E.to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting

我想问的是正确答案B里的句式
saying that their compliance with laws （主语）requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets （定语修饰laws）is protecting
应该是这样没错吧
requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets 的意思应该是要求net必须要装device吧，那为什么不用加表示“装”之类的动词呢，比如
requiring turtle-excluder devices （be） on shrimp nets
如果加上be，有错误么

我不知道是我一开始的分析错了还是什么原因
求指教～

courtdancer

requiring turtle-excluder devices （be） on shrimp nets

这个应该不对
如果要加be就是虚拟语气省略should了
那就应该是requiring that  turtle-excluder devices （be） on shrimp nets

如果不加that
那requiring turtle-excluder devices （to be） on shrimp nets
这样对么
为什么to be 可以省略

这题不是在考虚拟语气...

这题肯定选B
注意“saying that their compliance with laws requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles” that后面是宾语从句， 所以“compliance”是从句的主语，那么后面的东西一定要和compliance一致。
如果用A，project后面要加s. compliance.....protects....
同理C,D一样错
剩下B和E，这里显然是用现在分词修饰law比较好。
只能选B了
