题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:定语从句that indicates a child's acquiring language, thinking, and emotional skills中的谓语动词Indicates是单数,但是它在逻辑上的先行词应是复数名词findings,这造成了主谓一致的错误。
第二,indicate a child's acquiring language, thinking, and emotional skills as an active process应该为indicate that a child's acquisition of language, thinking, and emotional skills is an active process,这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。值得注意的是,宾语和宾补之间均可以看作省略的to be,例如:
I put a book on the table.
这句话可以看作:
I put a book to be on the table.
因此,本选项可以近似看作:
indicate a child's acquiring language, thinking, and emotional skills to be as an active process
在逻辑上,由于谓语动词indicate的约束力较弱,所以应该用宾语从句。
B选项:本选项定语从句的主干为:
new findings are indicative.
这是不正确的,应该是“新的发现揭示了一个事实”,而不是“新的发现是象征性的(indicative)”。
C选项:不定式短语to Indicate应改为ing短语indicating,这点考查了不定式和ing的区别,用之于本题,“克林顿开了一整天关于新发现的会议”不会导致“新的发现揭示一个事实”这个事件的发生或停止(不论是否开会宣布新发现,它都在那里),因此,应该用ing短语。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:indicative是形容词,如果要修饰名词findings只能放在名词前面,不能放在名词身后,例如:
handsome boys
**boys handsome
第二个例子是不正确的,形容词做名词定语时,必须前置于名词。
用之于本题,“克林顿开了一整天关于新发现的会议”不会导致“新的发现揭示一个事实”这个事件的发生或停止(不论是否开会宣布新发现,它都在那里),因此,应该用ing短语。
