其实这句话不难理解：

主要是强调这个society的两个特性：arise simultaneously with the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia， but arise independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia。也就是说，它的产生是和后者同时，但是并无相互关系。

我依然不明白为什么用"have yielded--------",请指教

zhaoshujuanw  mm    再看清楚點    句子的主詞是the first trenches    所以就用have yielded囉   如果你是問為什麼用完成式     只能說他是強調到目前為止都還在yield的狀態   所以用完成式

谢谢LEEON和ROBERTA。

这种动词分别跟两个介词的方式，虽然不是第一次见到，96年12月北美TOEFL阅读中还有2、3个介词连用的情况：

what we today call America folk arts was, indeed, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday "folks" who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portaits.

但是本句中这样用, 介词的搭配没有问题吗？

我查了LONGMAN，arise 只有跟介词from和out of的用法，没有本句中的with和of的用法。请教。

这里的搭配不是arise with 和arise of ,而是simultaneously with 和independently of.

在做题的时候,并列关系是优先考虑项,所以看到but 以及but 后面跟的independently of,我们就应该想到,but 前面要出现一个副词再加上一个介词的形式,根本不用考虑太多.

这是我的理解,希望大家讨论

可是，为什么要用完成时have yielded 呢？

本题的四个选项中,谓语动词有两种:have yielded 和yields.因为句子的主语中心语是trenches, 所以肯定要用have yielded 了.要根据题目解题,而不是根据我们自己的语法知识解题.

美林说得没错，这里arising后没跟任何宾语或介词。simultaneously with 和 independently of 都是用来比较 centrally administered complex societies 和 the more celebrated city-states。

A) would have been right if "were arising" is replaced by "arose", right?

TonyTu

I think I know exactly why A) is wrong.

For A). the sentense can be simplified as:

Trenches have yielded evidence for societies.

But this is meaningless; what the author really wants to state is:

Trenches have yielded evidence that societies arouse ....

nasa_mst

following is my thought :

first of all , A and B is wrong since they both not concise , use that that ..... to modify instead of "cut"

C , not indication that cut action  last till now ...

D and E , I prefer to D , because there is indeed no definite time clause to indicate needs of using passive tense.

Till now, the action of "yield" has finished.
