GMAT 语法精解
Archaeologists in Ireland believe that a recently discovered chalice, which dates from the eighth century, was probably buried （to keep from） being stolen by invaders.
(A) to keep from
(B) to keep it from
(C) to avoid
(D) in order that it would avoid
(E) in order to keep from
我认为B更好,C的avoid一般跟人搭配,比如sb.do sth.to avoid.../to avoid..,one must do sth.,而keep it from 可以跟物搭配,it指前面的chalice,所以比C更precise,更能表达原意!作者: Louisa_xy 时间: 2003-3-1 22:48
