考题讲解

题目分析:
本题的意思是:
天然气水合物在其有潜力成为巨大的能量贮藏厂、可能的导致海平面不稳定的原因、甚至对全球气候变暖的元凶等方面被更加广泛的研究。


选项分析:

A选项:不定式短语to be huge reservoirs of energy需改为as huge reservoirs of energy。这点考查了不定式和名词的区别。用之于本题,主句讲的是:
天然气水合物在成为巨大的能量贮藏厂这个方面的潜力被研究。
由此可知,在主句发生后,事件“成为巨大的能量贮藏厂”的发生与否依然不会被影响(主句只是讲了这种潜力被研究,不代表天然气水合物真的能成为贮藏厂)。因此,只能用名词短语。另外,“巨大的能量贮藏厂”,“可能的导致海平面不稳定的原因”、“甚至对全球气候变暖的元凶”三者应保持语法的平行。

B选项:本选项错误同选项(A)。

C选项:“巨大的能量贮藏厂”,“可能的导致海平面不稳定的原因”、“甚至对全球气候变暖的元凶”三者平行错误同选项(A)。

D选项:当三者平行时,应在最后一者身前加并列连词and,即构成A,B,and C的格式。本选项错误的将and放在和A和B中间。

E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
