考题讲解

题目分析:

本题最重要的是需要知道each除了可以单独做代词之外,还可以做同位语,例如:
We each scored high in GMAT。


选项分析:

A选项:本选项错误在于划线部分应该用主动语态而非被动语态。未划线部分讲的是:游客被告知xxx。在逻辑上,如果是告诫某人做某事,必然是用主动语序的,例如:
(1)小明被告知,他必须出示登机牌。
(2)小明被告知,登机牌必须被他出示。
显然地,句(1)更符合习惯的表达方式。

B选项:主语they和宾语a visa, a landing card, and evidence不搭配。复数代词they的指代对象肯定是前文中的游客们,这些游客们不可能都需要“一张签证和一个入境卡”。因此,要么改为they each do something,要么就把签证等名词改成复数。另外,their being inoculated against typhoid fever应改为inoculation against typhoid fever。这点考查了名词和ing的区别。用之于本题,在本句中,显然“接种疫苗”具有明确的时间终止点(接种完了,这个动作自然就结束了)。因此应该用名词短语。

C选项:在逻辑上,a visa, a landing card, evidence这三者应该是并列的,即,此三者均是旅游者需要提供的东西。三者并列时,语法上必须在最后一个名词前加连词and,不能在每个词前都加and。另外,their being inoculated against typhoid fever应改为inoculation against typhoid fever,该错误同(B)。最后,签证入境卡等名词应该用复数,该错误同选项(B)。

D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:本选项最大的问题出现在最后。在选项的开头已经出现了代词they做主语,最后又出现了for each of them,这两者中有一个是赘余的。
