150. In the mid-1960's a newly installed radar warning system mistook the rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets.
(A) rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets
(B) rising of the moon for a massive Soviet missile attack
(C) moon rising to a massive missile attack by the Soviets
(D) moon as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack
(E) rise of the moon as a massive Soviet missile attack
Though choice D manages the correct preposition, for, the phrase the moon as it was rising for is less efficient and precise than the phrasing of choice B: since rising functions as a verb in D, the phrase for a massive... attack now seems to modify rising rather than mistook.
KEYB
我不明白的是B: THE RISING OF MOON 的中心词RISING, 一个抽象的概念怎么会被当做ATTACK 呢? 应该是MOON被当作ATTACK 才对吧?
D 中的FOR A ...ATTACK 怎么就变成了修饰RISING 了呢? 因为MISTAKE...FOR 是词组, 怎么我读的时候还是它们的联系强呢?
请多指教. |
