gwd12-31,32新疑问？

wayne8888

32题E中的erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds看上去是个有点奇怪的名词并列啊，从意思上也讲不通，至少应该是erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity这样并列啊，不过其他选项也确实存在问题，会不会是题有问题啊。

疑惑中

Q32:

Prospecting for gold during the California gold rush was a relatively easy task, because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for anybody with a pan or shovel.

1. because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach for


2. because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of


3. owing to erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that had thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting gold literally within reach of


4. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, putting gold literally within reach for


5. since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach of

覺得沒有人討論這一題？？？答案如果是E的話，意思怪怪的…
E===>…因為侵蝕，史前冰河的移動與古代有金子的河床被火山活動推擠到地表上…
紅色的部份被推擠到地表上…這樣不是很怪？

since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, putting gold literally within reach for
我選D===>因為侵蝕，史前冰河的移動與火山活動將古代有金子的河床推擠到地表上…
紅色的部份將有金子的河床推擠到地表上
藍色部份putting修飾since子句的名詞…

不知道這樣對不對？？？

sorry, I knew what the problem is...^^

我相當贊同這說法~我總覺得E的翻譯很怪異！在埋頭苦幹解釋文法中的問題前，我想句意也是很重要的一環吧???E的翻譯太怪異了

我觉得E可以这样翻译:

....因为侵蚀,史前冰河移动和被火山活动推到地表上的有金子的河床...

32同意选E

A 。because of （不能加句子）erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put（动词作谓语） gold literally within reach for

B。because of erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting （无相关并列）gold literally within reach of

C。owing to erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that had thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, and putting （并列产生歧义）gold literally within reach of

D。since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity that thrust ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds to the surface, putting （since要加句子表原因，此项无谓语）gold literally within reach for

E。since erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and ancient, gold-bearing riverbeds thrust to the surface by volcanic activity put gold literally within reach of（前三词并列为主语，put为谓语）句意不好理解但可以说通的！

且because of  和 owing to  只加简单结构！

31铁定是E，很多人已作过评诉，不罗嗦了！

乌龙茶

31题在另外一个帖子中 答案公认是A呀

32题 E的翻译确实很奇怪，把帖子翻了一遍，除了24楼基本没有专门讨论32题的。

请教！

32题我选D

putting前面有逗号，并不仅修饰suface,而是修饰整个since从句，至于主句就是Prospecting for......

如果since从句单独需要一个主句，难道两个句子之间，不该用分号隔开么？

偶也同意缺主句意见，做的时候就很困惑，但是D里面reach应该是作名词用吧。reach for应该是reach动词的用法吧。longman是这么写的

作天山7的时候又遇到这道题，没有犹豫就选了E

原来还是E正确

32. (E)

做的时候很痛苦，认为没有正确答案：

(A) - because of + SVO (should be N + that)

(B) - because of + N + that thrust ..., and putting (1. tense - should be had thrust, 2, "and" dictates parallel form of verb with "thrust", should be put)

(C) - owing to N + that had thrust..., and putting ( 2 above)

(D) - since + N + that (should be SVO)

(E) - since + SVO, however, erosion, prehistoric glacier movement, and volcanic activity should be parallel becuase they are all geophysical phenomena, and "riverbeds" clearly are not in this category.

当时觉得(E)在逻辑上不可容忍，所以选了错误最不明显的(C)。今天终于找到支持(E)的逻辑了 -  thrust 在这里只能用作volcanic activity的谓语。erosion和glacier movement都是缓慢的过程，而且从动作上来说，没有用"force"来"push"。附上meririam-webster的entry.

transitive verb
1
        : to push or drive with force : SHOVE
2
        : to cause to enter or pierce something by or as if by pushing <thrust a dagger into his heart>
3
        : EXTEND, SPREAD
4
        : STAB, PIERCE
5 a
        : to put (as an unwilling person) forcibly into a course of action or position <was thrust into the job> b
        : to introduce often improperly into a position : INTERPOLATE
