...这个题...不算什么特别争议的吧... xiner能把大家争议的帖子贴出来么,我觉得选A是很明显的

 

B选项的they指代不明确,同时use sth. to do sth是一个比较固定的搭配,最后的那个which逻辑上指代的是前面这一套process,但是语法上指代cigarette,这里应该用伴随结果状语来替换,更何况不划线部分还有and lowering...这样的结构表示平行。

 

D选项中 that enters不如entering简洁,通常情况下定语从句表示一个单词性的事件,如果里面用一般现在时描述一个经常性习惯性的动作,就应该用ing分词定语替换,同时and后面用slowing 在and之前缺少一个名词性的平行结构

 

E选项中同样存在use sth to do的问题 应该使用to do而不是in doing,另外也同样存在which的逻辑指代和语法指代不一致的问题

 

C选项的问题在于 that uses 应该替换为using,同时原句中的entering the cigarette作为定语成分在这里则变成了when it enters作状语成分

这个更改时不合理的,简单说对于很薄的几层纸的使用只能减少进入香烟的氧气 不能在氧气进香烟的时候 减少所有氧气的含量 所以C是不正确的

 

以上均为个人意见... 仅供参考

嗯嗯, 非常同意, 而且理解, 我又来个题外话, 呵呵呵, 如果把C改成,

C. that uses thin layers of extra paper to decrease the amount of oxygen that enters the cigarette, thereby slowing

 

这句话通么? 因为我经常碰到一个句子里有两个that, 我一看到两个that就头晕, 而且举棋不定, 呵呵, 所以有此疑问

赫赫 Robbie的问题很有意思 我们比较一下这种改变C'和A选项

 

a major tobacco company is test-marketing a cigarette that uses thin layers of extra paper to decrease the amount of oxygen that enters the cigarette

a major tobacco company is test-marketing a cigarette in which thin layers of extra paper are used to decrease the amount of oxygen entering the cigarette

 

实际的翻译一下:

某个领衔烟草公司目前正在试着推广一种 采用几层薄纸以减少进入烟体的氧气量的香烟

某个领衔烟草公司目前正在试着推广一种 其内采用了几层薄纸以减少进入烟体的氧气量的 香烟

 

这里要指出的几点:

1 在C' 中 cigarette that uses ... 这个use采用的是主动语态 它的主语是 cigarette,而在A中cigarette in which ... are used 这个use采用的被动,它的主语文中没有明确的表达,这两者的含义是有细微差别的;

 

2 即便我们不去追求这个主动被动的细微差别,C'选项仍然比A选项少了一个in,这对文章意思的更改就不可原谅了,简单说A选项中说 香烟是通过其内的薄纸减少进入氧气量的;而C'选项中说 香烟通过薄纸减少进入的氧气量,怎么通过呢? 不知道,只知道用了薄纸,可能是在用户的嘴上贴几张薄纸,也可能是在香烟的外面裹几张薄纸。从这个角度上看A选项仍然优于 Robbie所更改的C'选项

 

3 最后的那个问题在于that enters 和entering,这两个定语的差别我在前面一片文章仔细的分析了,entering优于that enters.

 

希望这样的分析能够帮到你

天, 能理解到这种地步!!!!!! 好高深啊!    居然在回答我问题的时候也用了让步式的逻辑反驳,排除法!我更多的体会到的不是此题目, 而是一种超越的分析能力........

 

非常值得学习这种思维!
