Although the first pulsar, or rapidly spinning collapsed star, to be sighted was in the summer of 1967 by graduate student Jocelyn Bell, it had not been announced until February, 1968.







(A) Although the first pulsar, or rapidly spinning collapsed star, to be sighted was in the summer of 1967 by graduate student Jocelyn Bell, it had not been announced until February, 1968.



(B) Although not announced until February, 1968, in the summer of 1967 graduate student Jocelyn Bell observed the first pulsar, or rapidly spinning collapsed star, to be sighted.

(D) The first pulsar, or rapidly spinning collapsed star, to be sighted was observed in the summer of 1967 by graduate student Jocelyn Bell, but the discovery was not announced until February, 1968.

(E) The first sighted pulsar, or rapidly spinning collapsed star, was not announced until February, 1968, while it was observed in the summer of 1967 by graduate student Jocelyn Bell.

答案D




(E) Pulsar was not announced主谓搭配不符合逻辑????

我覺得E句意是這樣：

第一個被觀測到的脈衝星....was not announced until Feb 1968........

但正確的句意應該是--觀測到第一個被觀測到的脈衝星這件事被宣佈，而非那顆星被宣佈，因此E的主謂搭配不符合邏輯。
D的話，似乎就沒這個問題了。雖然我覺得整個主詞被分裂得很怪，但好像也只能選它。大家再討論看看吧!?

D。 The first pulsar, or rapidly spinning collapsed star, to be sighted was observed in the summer of 1967 by graduate student Jocelyn Bell, but the discovery was not announced until February, 1968.

再问~~~to be sighted 到底算什么成分？

限定修飾the first pulsar

kenshins

was not announced 的主语应该是discovery, 而非The first pulsar，所以E错
