以下是引用P_GMAT在2005-1-15 9:44:00的发言:天山 3-Q2 verbal-SCAs the honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed staying where it is inserted, this results in the act of stinging causing the bee to sustain a fatal injury.
A. ….
B. Asthe honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed staying where it is inserted,with the result that the act of stinging causes
C. Thehoneybee’s stinger, heavily barbed and staying where it is inserted,results in the fact that the act of stinging causes D. Theheavily barbed stinger of the honeybee stays where it is inserted, andresults in the act of stinging causing
E. The honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed and staying where it isinserted, with the result that the act of stinging causes
我觉得这道题应该选E,请大家指教。 C和E的不同之处在于C的主干是Stinger...results in the fact that ... E的主干是Stinger is heavily barbed and stays where it is 这整一个特征事实with the result that ... 关键在于是“蜇刺”导致了后面的结果,还是“蜇刺”的这些特点(heavily barbed, stay where it is)导致了后文的结果。鉴于ETS总喜欢考主谓逻辑意义上的搭配,我觉得E更合理点。 Longman上的参考例句: 1. with the result that Sara wasn't at school last week, with the result that she missed an important test. 是前面半句说的整个事实导致了后面缺考的结果。 2. result in something to make something happen ... an accident that resulted in the death of two passengers
I definitely support E.
C and D have the same illogical problem: no reason for the result. In C, honeybee's stinger...results...; how could a stinger results? In D, if therefore or and then is in place of and, D will be better, but still unclear in causing. |
