题目分析:
本题难度并不大,只要能把整个句子主干提出来就基本上可以把题目直接选对。
选项分析:
A选项:本选项的错误主要在于选项最后少了一个连词that。整个题目的主句,包括不划线部分,是未划线部分的The steel industry has changed radically over the last two decades。划线部分加上划线部分的身后是该主句的原因状语。它的目的是去解释为什么会有一个改变,或者说这个改变是为什么发生的。整个原因状语的谓语动词是downsize,即,主干是:companies have downsized。因此,动词conducted必须出现在定语从句中,否则主句就将缺少连词,应在once conducted前加上连词that。有些同学可能会问,为什么我不能把conducted看成是个过去分词短语呢。答案是否定的,因为公司必须要主动发出conduct这个动作,而过去分词短语只能表示被动。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项:第一个词with就错了,因为with是一个介词,身面只能接名词或者名词性成分,不能接句子。这和未划线部分中出现的动词downsize不符。
D选项:本选项的错误在于while放在此处不恰当,应该用能表示因果关系的连词。这是因为,在逻辑上,是因为这些公司缩减了,所以才会有一个工业的改变。while只能表示同时或者转折,不能满足两句话的逻辑关系。
E选项:首先,动词conducted必须放在定语从句中,该错误同选项(A)。其次,连词and也无法合理的前后两句话因果的关系,该错误的原理上同(D)。
have greatly downsized复数,表明主语是companies而不是B company。
