192.
In 1988, the Council on Economic Priorities began publishing Shopping for a Better World, with the simple thesis of consumers having the power to change companies by the simple expedient of refusing to buy.
A. with the simple thesis of consumers having
B. which had the simple thesis of consumers having
C. where the thesis was simple: consumers having
D. with a thesis that is a simple one: consumers have
E. whose thesis was simple: consumers have
题目释义:the Council began publishing SFBW, whose thesis was simple:consumers have...
考点:
定于从句,同位语从句,句子结构
1. with型独立主格做伴随状语,修饰前面分句,亦可以称修饰前面谓语动词与主语。
选项分析:
A.用with引导的非限定性短语做伴随状语错误,而事实上,thesis是Shopping for a Better World这本书的 主题,不能作为前面整句话的伴随;thesis后面用of不好,thesis变成了某一类特定的consumers,而合 理含义上应该是一个thesis应该是某个现象,因此要改为that从句(同位语从句),或者用冒号来引出从句
B.thesis应该用同位语从句修饰,thesis of sb. doing sth.结构中thesis的核心只是sb.,而并不是”sb做某事” C.关系代词where指向Shopping for a Better World不恰当;冒号后虽然可以用名词短语,但此处冒号后核
心意思变成了consumers,而不是”consumers怎么怎么样”,逻辑含义不符。 D. with的错误同A;a thesis that is a simple one不简洁
E. correct;thesis的内容是”顾客有......的能力”

我的疑问是为什么可以用whose 因为不是指代人

mingmings

who, whom 只能指人,不可指物(如 language,要用 which 指代);which 只能指物,不可指人
2. 传统语法规定 that 不能用于指人,而只能用 that 指思想观点、动物或不具有生命的物体(植物属于不具
有生命的物体),要用 whose, whose 可以指人也可以指物(prep1-192)
3. OG11-130 里面说 that 不能指代人,只能用 who 来指代。(虽然现代英语用法中 that 可以用于不同情形)

prep还是哪里有个讲tribe 水资源的语法题，就是选whose指代tribes

看来跟不上时代了 一直以为whose只能指代人

billzhaogx

什么时候whose只能指人了？  而且gmat 上whose 不指人的就好多
