In 1852 Robert Angus Smith published a detailed report of the chemistry of rain in a large area around the city of Manchester, England, noting that the closer one came to town, the more the city air would become increasingly acidic.
that the closer one came to town, the more the city air would become increasingly acidic
that the city air became increasingly acidic the closer one came to town
that coming closer to town, the city air became increasingly acidic
that the more the city air became increasingly acidic, the closer one was to town
the city air becoming increasingly acidic as one would come closer to town
这道题目的正确答案是B而不是A。详解如下:
1、more和increasingly不能连用,故AD错;
2、C错在that之后的宾语从句中,coming closer to the town没有主语;
3、E错在,noting之后的宾语从句不能省略that(准确的说,在GMAT语法中,一切名词性从句都不能省略that)
最后,正确答案B中那个one指代的是rain。因为他的报告是关于雨中化学成分的研究,所以是,他在报告中注意到:该地的雨越靠近城市,酸性越大。因为这个酸性物质就是雨中的化学成分。的确,前面有很多可数名词的单数都可能是这个One指代的对象,但是通读全文之后不难理解其指代的对象,因此不会引起歧义。更何况,相对于那些少主语、少关系代词的硬伤,One指代的对象有点难找这种小问题也就可以忽略不计了~
