(A) years as a result of the removal of (B) years as a result of removing (C) years, resulting from the removing of (D) years, which is a result of removing (E) years, which is a result of the removal of
**上面给的解答是:
考点: 有效用词(Diction) 1) 介词短语n account of, because of, despite (in despite of), as a result of之后只跟简单的名词短语。若其后面跟的是动名词或名词所有格+动名词短语(sb’s doing),或名词短语之后用一复杂的现在分词来修饰时,应改为与其相同意义的连词because, although等引导的从句形式。
2) 动词有自己的名词形式时,就不要用the +动词ing形式来表达其名词形式
3) which不能指代整个句子
(A) 正确, as a result后面接名词的并列结构,表达正确,简洁
(B) as a result of后面加动名词不好,且根据未划线部分and the clearing判断出as a result of后面应该是名词
(C) removal是remove的名词形式,因此不用the removing表达remove的名词形式
(D) which不能指代句子,在这里没有指代; removing应该改为the removal
(E) which不能指代句子。
句子结构: The…population has increased… as a result of the removal of… and the clearing of…
但是,如果查电子词典,removing,removal以及clearing,clearance两组内两个名词解释都是差不多的!所以,既然后面用了clearing,为什么前面不能用removing?非常的不解!!
跪谢各位指点迷津!
