6.In late 1997,the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Gizawere closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such level so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls.
C because tourists were exhaling moisture , which had raised the humidity within them to levels such that salt from the stone would crystallize.
D because of moisture that was exhaled by tourists raising the humidity within them to levels salt from the stone was crystallizing
E because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised the humidity within them to such levels that salt from the stone was crystallizing.
OG上说 C和D 选项中的them "seem to refer tourists",我想问正确选项中E中的them 难道就不指向tourist嘛？为什么？
我自己想了一下。先不考虑别的原因我们就讨论 them 在CDE三个选项中的指代问题。
C 中because引导的原因状语从句由主句+定语从句构成，tourists是主句的主语，所以定语从句中的them 可能指代tourists.
D 中rasing the humidity within them 分词如果是就近修饰名词tourists,所以 them 指代tourists. 当然分词也有可能修饰moisture。
E 中 by tourists 只是介词短语作状语修饰动词exhaled，从句中的them 不可能指代tourists，只可能优先指示代主句主语chambers
请大牛看看我解释的对不对啊？？作者: gdboy8888 时间: 2012-1-12 21:50
D错在because of后面引导的东西太复杂
C because引导的从句主语是 tourists，所以存在指代不清
E because引导的从句的主语是moisture，which 不可能用“them”来代替，所以them指代前面的主语chambers

我是这么理解的：
C 出现了新的主语tourists，于是导致them指代不清。选择E的结构
不造成这个问题。
D 不太懂怎么解释……because of的出现要小心……作者: uniquenellier 时间: 2012-1-14 06:41
