A natural response of communities devastated by earthquake or flood is to rebuild on the same site, overlooking the possibility that the forces that caused it could be repeated.
overlooking the possibility that the forces that caused it could be repeated
overlooking the possibility that the forces causing it could be repeated
overlooking that the forces that caused the disaster could also cause another one
without considering that the forces causing the disaster could be repeated
without considering that the forces that caused the disaster could also cause another such disaster
考点:
1. overlook sth固定用法。没看见过 overlook that...从句,排除C。
2. 指示代词的指代问题,A&B的it指代不明。another one, such disaster才是正解。
3. v-ing serves to refer to the nearest preceding action and the performer of that action. 用condiering 而不用overlooking很重要的一点时避免歧义,前者的performer跟to rebuild一致,后者的performer有可能指the site。
官方解释排除C:
C. This choice uses the idiomatically incorrect form overlooking that. This choice is confusing also because overlooking has a physical meaning that can apply, for example, to a site but does not fit with overlooking that.
