考题讲解

题目分析:
本题中的there be句型没有问题,虽然(A)(B)(C)和(D)(E)的意思不同,但是此两者均没有逻辑的错误,不能作为排除的方式。

选项分析:

A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

B选项:本选项中between 1876 and 1904短语放在了three separate sewer systems的身后,由于定语就近修饰原则,所以其修饰的是three separate sewer systems,而不是construction。在逻辑上,应该是三个排污系统与1876年至1904年被建造,而不是系统本身在1876年至1904年(建造好之后,这个系统应该会用一段时间,不止用28年吧)。

C选项:本选项中between 1876 and 1904变为了have led的状语。但是,由于have led是现在完成时,所以应该表示“到现在为止”,而不是仅在过去的某个时间,所以此处是矛盾的;另外,介词短语for serving应改为不定式短语to serve,这点考查了不定式和ing的区别,用之于本题,主句“担心引起三个排污系统的建造”的发生会直接影响“排污系统服务于波士顿”的发生,即,是建造了三个排污系统使得了这三个排污系统能服务于波士顿,因此,应该用不定式短语。

D选项:ing短语serving应改为不定式短语to serve同选项(C)。

E选项:for serving错误同(C)。
