考点:
定于从句,同位语从句,句子结构
1. with型独立主格做伴随状语,修饰前面分句,亦可以称修饰前面谓语动词与主语。
选项分析:
A.用with引导的非限定性短语做伴随状语错误,而事实上,thesis是Shopping for a Better World这本书的 主题,不能作为前面整句话的伴随;thesis后面用of不好,thesis变成了某一类特定的consumers,而合 理含义上应该是一个thesis应该是某个现象,因此要改为that从句(同位语从句),或者用冒号来引出从句
B.thesis应该用同位语从句修饰,thesis of sb. doing sth.结构中thesis的核心只是sb.,而并不是”sb做某事” C.关系代词where指向Shopping for a Better World不恰当;冒号后虽然可以用名词短语,但此处冒号后核
心意思变成了consumers,而不是”consumers怎么怎么样”,逻辑含义不符。 D. with的错误同A;a thesis that is a simple one不简洁
E. correct;thesis的内容是”顾客有......的能力”
who, whom 只能指人,不可指物(如 language,要用 which 指代);which 只能指物,不可指人
2. 传统语法规定 that 不能用于指人,而只能用 that 指思想观点、动物或不具有生命的物体(植物属于不具
有生命的物体),要用 whose, whose 可以指人也可以指物(prep1-192)
3. OG11-130 里面说 that 不能指代人,只能用 who 来指代。(虽然现代英语用法中 that 可以用于不同情形)
