32. The health commissioner said that the government had implemented strict measures to eradicate the contaminated food and, despite the recent illnesses,
it will try to prevent the outbreak from recurring in the future.
A it will try
B that it tried
C it had tried
D it would have tried
E that it would try
选项解析:
The original sentence has two mistakes. First, omitting “that” destroys parallelism. The meaning of the sentence should be “The health commissioner said that… and that…”. So, we need that to make the elements parallel.
Second, the verb tenses are inconsistent: “will” should be substituted by “would”.
Choice A: The sentence lacks parallelism, and the tenses are not consistent.
Choice B: The use of that makes the sentence parallelism. However, tried is not the right verb tense the sentence requires.
Choice C: This sentence also lacks parallelism, and the tenses are not consistent.
Choice D: This sentence lacks parallelism, since it omits that. Would have tried is not the required verb tense: would have done indicates something that never happens in the past. (E.g. If you had told me the truth yesterday, I would never have beaten you. )
However, here we need a tense that indicates future, so what we need is would do.

题目点评:
本题涉及考点:平行和时态
这道题本身并不难,我们所需做的应该是去掌握一些基本的概念和语法知识。
首先,对于平行:当句子逻辑是,一个人说/做(等动词)一件事 and 另一件事的时候,如果第一件事用that从句引出,第二件事一定也要用that从句引出,以保证平行。
例句:Tom tells me that Diana will marry him the next year and that they will hold a wedding in Los Angles.
这里Tom说了两件事,一件事:Diana will marry him the next year;另一件事:they will hold a wedding in Los Angles
同理,这道题也是health commissioner说了两件事:the government had implemented strict measures to eradicate the contaminated food和it(the government) would try to prevent the outbreak from recurring in the future。因此,第二个从句的that一定要补出,来保证平行。
而对于时态,我们要注意的是:并不是说一个句子中要求一定要出现多种时态。不同时态的出现,是因为句子需要表达出
纵向时间跨度。比如此题,过去完成时(had implemented)的出现,是因为要表示implement这个动作出现在tell之前;而过去完成时(would try)的出现,是因为它可以表明try这个动作发生在tell这个动作之后。
思路点评:
innerwarrior 和
may24问的是好问题~哇咔
我是这么理解的,读句子首先要抓主干,插入语的话只是一个插入语,它不构成句子主干。上面我也说到了用say that A and that B是表明一个人说了【事件A】和【事件B】,每一个that都是用来引导一个事件的。那在本题中的那个【插入语】其实就相当于给【事件B】加了一个前提,所以并不影响平行,right?
而且,我一般不提倡说句子哪里可以跳读,因为我感觉句子的话每个部分都可能有隐藏信息。但是对于插入语,我们在抓句子主干的时候,可以适当的对【,插入语,】(一定是一个完整的结构,两个逗号+一个插入语)结构做跳读,整个结构可以全部忽略,从而去抓主干。所以说,此时再看,还是后面有that才是平行的。
