65. In a plan to stop the erosion of East Coast beaches, the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that would rise six feet above the waterline and
act as a buffer, so that it absorbs the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches.
(A) act as a buffer, so that it absorbs
(B) act like a buffer so as to absorb
(C) act as a buffer, absorbing
(D) acting as a buffer, absorbing
(E) acting like a buffer, absorb
句子主干:In a plan to…, the Army Corps proposed building a breakwater of rocks that would rise…and act as a buffer, absorbing energy and protecting beaches.
考点总结:a 两个and平行:找准平行的部分,保证结构上和逻辑上双平行 b like与as的区别:like只做介词,表示像的意思,不用于列举(若使用就是绝对性错误,杀);as既可作介词,又可作连词,作介词时,表示作为的意思
选项说明:A/D/E 通过未划线部分的提示,得知第一个and并列的是定语从句中的谓语,第二个and并列的是两个doing分词,and并列结构不平行,属于绝对错误,杀 B act like错误,词组搭配错误,绝对性错误,杀;so as to在有多个主语的句子中,造成歧义,不知动作的发出者到底是谁
考试需注意:a注意未划线部分对判断平行的提示以及该如何平行的要求 ;注意对多个相连的不同平行的划分 b对于含有绝对性错误选项,杀
另外:这道题目的句子很好In a plan to stop the erosion of East Coast beaches, the Army Corps of Engineers proposed building parallel to shore a breakwater of rocks that would rise six feet above the waterline and act as a buffer, absorbing the energy of crashing waves and protecting the beaches.
首先,句子开头是个opening modifier,修饰紧随其后的句子的主语the army corps of engineers(错误选项通常会使开头的opening modifier修饰随后句子主语时不合逻辑,变成dangling modifier);句子的主要谓语是propose,用法为propose doing sth. ,parallel to shore是a breakwater的前置定语,of rocks是介宾短语作后置定语,随后的that定语从句也是a breakwater的一个修饰成分,在从句中又由and并列了两个谓语平行;句尾and又并列了absorbing和protecting平行,结构上应该是很明确的,重点在于absorbing and protecting的作用,是修饰之前主句,还是修饰前面的名词(prep笔记上说,逗号doing结构从来没有失去修饰其前名词的作用,只是应首先apply to主句的主谓)?仔细分析后发现,之前主句的主语the army corps of engineers来发出absorbing the energy 和protecting the beaches的动作是不甚合逻辑的,其发出者应该是a breakwater,所以absorbing and protecting是来修饰之前名词breakwater的,此时又会出现疑问,那就是修饰成分与被修饰成分相隔太远,没关系,这是touch rule的特殊情况,就是在名词与doing之间存在有“特殊任务(其实还是修饰,只不过是必要的)”的成分,在此句中存在的成分就是of的介宾结构和that定语从句。总的来说这个句话的重难点在于:a? parallel to shore前置使不知所措 b?句尾分词的理解
