Building on civilizations that preceded them in coastal
Peru, the Mochica developed their own elaborate
society, based on cultivating such crops like corn and
beans, the harvesting of fi sh and shellfi sh, and
exploiting other wild and domestic resources.
(A) based on cultivating such crops like corn and
beans, the harvesting of fi sh and shellfi sh, and
exploiting
(B) based on the cultivation of such crops as corn
and beans, the harvesting of fi sh and seafood,
and the exploitation of
(C) and basing it on the cultivation of crops like corn
and beans, harvesting fi sh and seafood, and the
exploiting of
(D) and they based it on their cultivation of crops
such as corn and beans, the harvest of fi sh and
seafood, and exploiting
(E) and they based it on their cultivating such crops
like corn and beans, their harvest of fi sh and
shellfi sh, and they exploited
Diction; Parallelism
Th e sentence describes the elaborate society of the
Mochica with a series of three features, the fi rst
of which contains an example. Th e three features
must be presented in parallel structures—e.g.,
cultivating, harvesting, and exploiting. Th e use of
such to introduce the examples of crops requires
that the comparison be completed with as instead
of like.
A Th e second item in the series violates the
parallelism required for the series; like
is the incorrect word to complete the
introduction of examples.
B Correct. Th e three items in the series are in
parallel form, and such crops is correctly
followed by as.
C And basing it on … must come before the
main verb in order to make this version a
complete sentence.
D Th e items in the description of the society
are not in parallel form.
E Like is the wrong word to introduce the
examples; based it on their cultivating such
crops … is awkward and wordy; they based is
parallel to they exploited, but for this sentence
to work, and would have to be inserted
before their harvest of fi sh.
Th e correct answer is B.
我是先通过such like排除的A,C,E但是，虽然B 是符合那个平行的原则，但不理解的是，在整段话中，the Mochica developed their own elaborate
society是主句，那么要其他的两个从句的逻辑主语应该是主句的主语，那么用based岂不是错误，因为based修饰的是society,

句子结构理解有误。解析中所说的平行是the cultivation of such crops as corn and beans, the harvesting of fi sh and seafood, and the exploitation of other wild and domestic resources  这三项的平行。

25. Based on accounts of various ancient writers, scholars
have painted a sketchy picture of the activities of an
all-female cult that, perhaps as early as the sixth
century B.C., worshipped a goddess known in Latin as
Bona Dea, “the good goddess.”
(A) Based on accounts of various ancient writers,
(B) Basing it on various ancient writers’ accounts,
(C) With accounts of various ancient writers used
for a basis,
(D) By the accounts of various ancient writers
they used,
(E) Using accounts of various ancient writers
Th e underlined phrase is a modifi er; it functions
as an adjective to describe the noun that
immediately follows it. In this case, the phrase
incorrectly modifi es scholars, which does not make
any sense. What are the scholars doing? When
the modifi er begins with using, it correctly links
the scholars with the modifi er that describes their
activity.
A Based on … incorrectly modifi es scholars.
B Th e pronoun it does not have a clear
reference.
C Th is choice is wordy and awkward.
D Th is choice is wordy and awkward.
E Correct. In this sentence, using accounts of
various ancient writers correctly modifi es
scholars in a clear and concise expression of
their activity  我现在不明白的是那个28题的based 和 andthey based it ,因为在前面刚看到25题呢~~O(∩_∩)O~
