题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:名词短语avoidance of duplicated facilities alone应改为从句the duplication of facilities should be avoided,这点考查了名词和从句的区别。用之于本题,由于主句Building large new hospitals in the bistate area would constitute a wasteful use of resources是处于虚拟状态的(虚拟助动词would),因此,其基于的原因也应该处于一种假设中。因此,avoid这个动作没有时间终止点(都不一定开始,何谈终止)。
另外,duplicated facilities应改为the duplication of facilities。此两者的核心词不同。在逻辑上,避免的应该是设施的重复建设这一行为,而不是设施本身。
B选项:avoiding宾语duplicated facilities的核心词错误同选项(A)。
C选项:duplicated facilities的核心词错误同选项(A)。
D选项:连词有误。While连接的两个句子应该是“同时”或者“转折”关系,但本题中的两个句子是“因果”或者“如果仅仅因为”关系,不能用连词while。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。if only because的意思是:如果仅仅因为。
duplicated facilities和the duplication of facilities重点不同的话,可排除ABC
RON:
if you say 'on the basis of x', that is usually taken as an acknowledgment that x has actually occurred. so choice a makes it sound as if building large new hospitals successfully avoids duplicating facilities. that's not true, of course: the thrust of the sentence is that the new hospitals are duplicates, and that's the problem.
choice e correctly expresses the idea: the duplication of facilities is something to be avoided. the other message - that the new hospitals are guilty of such duplication - is implicit, but at least it isn't wrongly expressed (as in choice a).
