考题讲解

题目分析:
本题可能主要难度来自于把题目的意思看懂。这句话意思说的是:对于很多人来说,家庭工作依然是很费心费力的,即便他们有能力去支付一些机器,比如说洗碗机之类。household appliances身后是一个定语从句,由于先行词定语从句中充当的宾语,所以省略了关系词that。

选项分析:

A选项:even if是连词,身后需要加完整的句子而不是不定式短语。

B选项:转折词despite有误。未划线部分和划线部分的语意之间应该是“即便是”或者说“即使是”的关系,而despite表示两者是转折关系。

C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

D选项:although依然表示转折关系,应该把其改为even if。该错误同选项(B)。

E选项:定语从句which would have been a miracle to their grandparents的说法有误。通常来说,这个句型的意思是“给某人以某物”,例如:
The apple is a gift to(for) you.
该例句的意思是:这个苹果是给你的礼物。用之于本题:
household appliances would have been a miracle to their grandparents.
该句的意思是:机器是给父母们的一个奇迹。显然地,这在逻辑上是不正确的。正确的说法是,父母发现这些机器是奇迹(是机器本身是奇迹,而不是机器是给父母的奇迹)。
