Ron关于with开头句子的解析：
when you start a sentence with "With ...", this modifier should modify the subject and/or action of the following clause.

e.g.with three separate walls around its exterior, the city was nearly impregnable to enemy attacks.in this case, it's the city that has "three separate walls around its exterior", and this modifier is intimately related to the following clause (it's the reason why the city is impregnable to enemy attacks); hence, this "with" modifier is used correctly.

by the same logic, the original sentence (from the problem) would be implying, absurdly enough, that "archeological evidence" itself HAD "shipbuilding traditions".

关于prepositional phrase的一些总结（尤其是with）：
in general, prepositional phrase modifiers are flexible -- they may require the reader's common sense to resolve their meaning.

for instance, the following two examples are both correct:
-i bought a belt with a removable buckle.
-i bought a belt with my gift certificate.
in the first of these examples, “with a removable buckle” modifies the noun “belt”. in the second example, “with my gift certificate” modifies the action of buying the belt.

*comma+modifier要考虑的两个要点（RON）：

1) when you use a COMMA -ING modifier after a clause**, you should actually satisfy TWO requirements:
-- the modifier should modify the action of the preceding clause, as you have stated;
-- the subject of the preceding clause should also make sense as the agent of the -ING action

*C选项的comma+VING结构不对（RON）：

COMMA + -ING modifiers must modify the preceding clause, but the -ING participle must also apply to the subject of the preceding clause.therefore, the use of that comma+ing modifier would imply that the islets themselves are stimulating disputes. that's not true.

*关于D选项this不能裸奔所引发的知识点啊（Ron）：
choice (d) uses "this" as a standalone pronoun. that's pretty much never acceptable in a formal written sentence.
if you're going to use "this", you should use it as an adjective: this thing, this finding, this statistic, etc.

also, here's some "extra credit" knowledge:
there ARE constructions that can stand for the abstract information in an entire clause (unlike pronouns, which are limited to standing for actual nouns). chief among these are the COMMA + NOUN modifiers.
however, the presence of "because" at the beginning of choice (d) would preclude the use of those modifiers as well.

here's an example:
studies have shown that X is 60 percent of Y, a finding that has shocked most observers.
studies have shown that X is 60 percent of Y; this finding has shocked most observers.

--> both correct. note that "a finding", following the comma, or "this finding", standing alone after the semicolon, stands for the entirety of the clause that comes before it; you couldn't use "which" here, because "which" would automatically refer to Y.

because studies have shown that X is 60 percent of Y, this finding has shocked most observers.
--> incorrect. the presence of "because" at the beginning of the first clause means you can't use "this finding" anymore.
[这个错误的结构和D是一样的】

this / these /that/ those-----> in place of nouns only when you modify them.
it/they/ them------>in place of nouns

http://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/07/06/how-to-find-the-point-in-an-rc-passage
(1) You do NOT want to learn or comprehend every single thing that the passage says
(2) Know your goals:
(a) Find The Point
(b) Find the purpose of each paragraph
(c) Know where (in which paragraph) to find different kinds of detail
(3) Practice sticking to your timing and practice abbreviating heavily
(4) When you review your work, also review how you read and took notes on the passage

(1) Understand what The Point is: the single primary reason why the author bothered to spend a bunch of time writing this passage
(2) Read actively; think critically about the purpose behind different pieces of information in the passage and look for language that foreshadows what might be coming next.
(3) Know the kinds of structures that you might see when you read a passage so that you can recognize similar patterns and anticipate what The Point might be.
(4) When you review your work, also review The Point. Now that you’re done, do you still think you were right about The Point? If not, why not? In future, how might you get The Point right the first time?
