OG13 SC 39

月谪仙

求教39. Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so debilitating that it has become an economic drain on many developing countries.
(A) it is so debilitating that it has become an economic
(B) it is of such debilitation, it has become an economical
(C) so debilitating is it as to become an economic
(D) such is its debilitation, it becomes an economical
(E) there is so much debilitation that it has become an economical
我根据economic和economical可以排除掉BDE, 剩下AC， 想问的是对于代词一般一句话中出现的单复数一致的代词代指的内容应该是一样的。那么A选项中第一个IT是指代that从句，第二个it指代的是 schistosomiasis 这不是明显不一致么？为什么还是对的呢？

第一个it是强调句中的it，不需要指代对象。第二个it指代schistosomiasis

是滴~这点我明白~想知道的是一句话中间出现多个it是有antecedent的都是同一个指代对象，像这种没有的也可以存在么？这样不会造成it指代不一样的误解么？

如果你能够看出来它是强调句，那么就不会有误解。如果不是的话，那可能要根据逻辑意思，看如果it都是指代一个东西，是否合理。

好像不是吧，A选项的句型应该是so  that 的结果状语从句，不是强调句，强调句把 it is ...that ...省略后还是一个完整的句子，可是这里省略后就变成了so debilitating it has become an economic drain on many developing countries.所以应该不是强调句。另外两个it 都是指代schistosomiasis的，个人见解，欢迎拍砖！

同LS，也认为是so....that.....

那这样的话 so--as to 为什么不对呢？

找到了~

in general, you don't use so ADJ as to VERB unless the VERB describes some sort of state/condition. i.e., if the verb is an action verb, this construction generally isn't used.
for instance,
i am so ugly as to be viscerally repulsive to women. --> this works, because the verb “to be” describes a state/condition.
i am so ugly as to repel women on sight. --> you generally wouldn't see this in good writing, as “repel” is an action verb; the sentence would probably be written as i am so ugly that i repel women on sight.

如果选c的话一是缺主语了。二是无辜的使用了倒装。。如果c改成正常语序并加上it is c 更准确，因为so as to 表示的是一种状态。 这里become和那后的阐明了一种状态。。。我的理解是这样的。。所以选A
