Q39:

Seldom more that 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected the Hudson River at Albany to the Great Lakes at Buffalo, providing the port of New York City with a direct water link to the heartland of the North American continent.

 

1. Seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected
2. Seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, the Erie Canal connected
3. It was seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, and ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, but the Erie Canal, connecting
4. The Erie Canal was seldom more than 40 feet wide or 12 feet deep and it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, which connected
5. The Erie Canal, seldom more than 40 feet wide and 12 feet deep, but running 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York, connecting

答案B    A错在哪呢 是不是and和 or 的区别

seldom是否定词，不过句子是肯定句。用and理论上没错。

A的真正错误是后面两个完整的句子中间没有连词。而且A加多了一个代词表达不简洁。

从意思上分析，363 miles 和前面的 40 feet, 12 feet 都是修饰主语的，形式上应该尽量并列。把其中一个变成了句子主干的一部分，显然不好

应该用and的～

"it" in A　指代不清

这里应该使用OR ,因为前面seldom是否定词

but连接两个动作connected 和  ran  不对吗

B是对的。or用的很好。从逻辑上讲，这条运河很少有地方宽40或者深12，没有什么

不对。A的意思是这条运河很少有地方宽40且深12，限定条件更多一些而已。表示选择关系

A的主要错误是～it很多余～

but it ran 363 miles across the rugged wilderness of upstate New York与the

Erie Canal 不平行。

it 指代 Erie Canal , 代词先于主句主语出现优先指代主句主语咯

大家给点意见,我认为是A
