OG12 SC68 为什么可以改变原文时态？

68-The first trenches that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were arising simultaneously with but independently of the more celebrated city-states of southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq.
(A) that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence for centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East that were
arising simultaneously with but
(B) that were cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising
simultaneously with but also
(C) having been cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East were arising simultaneously but
(D) cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, yields strong evidence of centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arising simultaneously but also
(E) cut into a 500-acre site at Tell Hamoukar, Syria, have yielded strong evidence that centrally administered complex societies in northern regions of the Middle East arose simultaneously with but

正确答案是E.  前边的cut into...可以理解，但that从句除了啰嗦外，语法没有错误。 而E改变了原文的时态。were arising改成了arose. 所以选了A原句。 不知道大家是怎么理解的？在语句啰嗦和时态变化中，到底应该更重视哪个？OG的解释也基本上是说原句啰嗦，E更简洁，但却没有提及时态的转换。

that 从句肯定是要用过去式，至于具体是过去进行时还是一般过去是，从逻辑上理解，没有太明显的错误。所以这个先放一边。
然后从句子的简洁性来讲：
E： The first trenches cut into a 500-acre site  明显比The first trenches that were cut into a 500-acre site简洁。还有，evidence +that 从句比较常见。

多读几遍，从语感上也能读出区别。

同问这道题 cut into不用过去式 ？

adolfgao

cut的过去式并不改变形态阿

至于that 从句
A的evidence for ... 不对，另外最后的一个that 可指代Middle East，有歧义
B的yields单复数不对

cut 不用被动语态？

luke-216

在E选项中 为什么
  the complex societies arose stimultaneosly with but indenpendly of the more....
没有with 正好是simulaneously but indenpently 小平行结构吗 of the more 作状语？

请帮助分析一下？谢谢！

楼上，平行不是看形式上的对称。

这里的平行结构是arise (simultaneously with) but (independently of).

后面the more celebrated city-states是宾语。

首先是楼主提到的，原本用一般过去式OR一般过去进行时在逻辑上都说得通，这点就没什么纠结的地方了，A也是选项之一，只是先被填到横线上而已，所以不存在E选项改变了原本时态的说法。
2楼说的，cut在这里用的是过去分词表被动，而cut的过去式、过去分词都是跟原形一样的。
5楼说的，你说的平行结构是不对的。我们不能说A arose simultaneously of B，只能说A arose simultaneously with B。
同理，不能说A arose independently with B,只能说A arose independently of B。
那这时如果要使两种描述并列，唯一的办法就是：
A arose simultaneously with but independently of B.
=A arose simultaneously with B.But A arose independently of B.
