47. Five fledgling sea eagles left their nests in western Scotland this summer,bringing to 34 the number of wild birds successfully raised since transplants from Norway began in 1975.
(A)bringing
(B)and brings
(C)and it brings
(D)and it brought (A)
(E)and brought
解释:E. Five eagles
can be the grammatical subject of brought,but not the logical one; it was not the eagles themselves but rather the entire action of their leaving their nests that brought the number to 34.
59. The Olympic Games helped to keep peace among the pugnacious states of the Greek world in that a sacred truce was proclaimed during the festival's month.
(A) Same
(B) world, proclaiming a sacred truce during the festival’s month
(C) world when they proclaimed a sacred truce for the festival month
(D) world, for a sacred truce was proclaimed during the month of the festival (D)
(E) world by proclamation of a sacred truce that was for the month of the festival
解释:B. It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming;aclause is preferable to a phrase here.
为什么47题用伴随而59题不能用?有的解释是47中sea eagle可以做bringing的形式主语,而games不能做proclaiming的形式主语。但47E选项的解释说eagle做bringing的主语逻辑上是不对的,应该是是整个行为过程作主语。
现在的问题是:(1).两道题分别用eagle和games作伴随状语的主语,则逻辑上都不对。(2)两道题都是前一个句子做伴随状语的主语,那么两个应该都可以用伴随状语。不知道这么想的话问题出在哪?
