220. (GWD-24-8, OG12-86) The results of the company's cost-cutting measures are evident in its profits, which increased five percent during the first three months of this year after it fell over the last two years. A. which increased five percent during the first three months of this year after it fell B. which had increased five percent during the first three months of this year after it had fallen C. which have increased five percent during the first three months of this year after falling D. with a five percent increase during the first three months of this year after falling E. with a five percent increase during the first three months of this year after having fallen
题目释义:The results … are evident in its profits, which have increased 5% during the first three months of this year… 考点: 句子结构(grammatical construction) 逻辑意思(logical predication) 1. with独立主格结构: 由“with +宾语+宾补”构成的复合结构,在句中可作状语,表示伴随。这一结构中的宾语补足语可由现在分词、过去分词、形容词、副词或介词短语等来充当: Visitors to the park have often looked into the leafy canopy and seen monkeys sleeping on the branches, with arms and legs hanging like socks on a clothesline. 2. 时态问题。 3. AlienX: after having done something是不可能对的 1) after已表示the sequence of events. 没有必要用having done来表示前后 2) 可是after someone/something has/have done something是acceptable; 如果变成after someone/something did something也可以 选项分析: A. Increased和have increased都可以,只是表达的意义不同,如果这句话写于今年3月底,那么就用have increased,要是写于4月及以后就用increased(此处与OG12的解释略有不同);it指代profits单复数错误;after it fell应该用after it had fallen与over the last two years搭配,但是不如after falling简洁 B. it错误同A;after it had fallen时态上没有问题,可以与over the last two years搭配,但是不如after falling简洁 C. Correct;after falling简洁,状语从句的省略 D. with独立主格修饰前面的分句,而不是its profits,修饰错误;falling的逻辑主语也成了results,错误。 E. with错误同D;after having done错误。
