188.     (GWD-7-Q33)

The health benefits of tea have been the subject of much research; in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting some forms of cancer, the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis may also play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
A. in addition to its possibilities for preventing and inhibiting
B. in addition to its possibilities to prevent or inhibit
C. besides the possibility that it prevents and inhibits
D. besides the possible preventing and inhibiting of
E. besides possibly preventing or inhibiting
答案是E,我选的A,不知道为什么要用besides和or而不是in addition to和and

其實並不是in addition to 與besides的問題,問題是指代正不正確還有字詞的用法

後面的主詞是brewed leaves,所以用its,it沒有指代對象->A,B,C錯。

D選項的部分,要表達的是possible prevention...,有名詞可用就要用名詞,不要用動名詞。

因此E是最好的。

讚同: in addition to和besides做介詞時沒有不一樣 (很奇怪, Longman上說besides只能是副詞, anyway...dictionary.com有)

如果選D, besides就成了介詞, 那就要求有平衡的對象 (OG10#241), obviously, "the preventing/inhibiting...some forms of cancer"不可能和the brewed leaves of Camellia sinensis平衡, 也不可能和reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke平衡.

E的besides做了副詞, 那preventing/inhibiting成了分詞, 它們的邏輯主語就是主句主語.

or vs. and; 嚴格來說preventing和inhibiting在這都是同一個意思, 所以用or.  可是我不確定.

補充

But,Besides, since和after這四個字同樣可以身兼連接詞與介詞,如果出現在一個插入句之

後,要特別注意會不會引起岐義(像是prep裡面biological traits那題)。另外一個考點是這

些詞如果搭配being有可能是正確選項。
