题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:代词it的指代对象只能是名词不能是句子,但在逻辑上,“花了三周的时间并且花费了100块”的应该是“把一吨的小麦从Buffalo这个地方移到纽约城这个事件”,因此句中it没有正确的指代对象。
B选项:代词it的指代对象错误同(A)。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项:不定式短语to move a ton of wheat需改成moving a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York City,这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题,在逻辑上我们讨论的是“从Buffalo移动小麦到纽约”这件事客观上会花费多长时间,而不是某一次或某一个人移动小麦的情况。另外,介词短语from Buffalo to New York City需紧挨着放在to move a ton of wheat身边。该介词短语是状语,需就近修饰一个句子。在本选项中其修饰的是took three weeks而不是move a ton of wheat。
E选项:不定式短语to move a ton of wheat需改成moving a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York City错误同(D)。
Eo move a ton of wheat需改成moving
