题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
选项A:本选项没有谓语动词,covering和accommodating都是现在分词。
选项B:首先,由于“大象(elephants)”是个可数名词,所以需要将as much as改成as many as。另外,连词and连接的两个句子主干分别为:
At the turn of the twentieth century, forest accommodated as much as 300,000 elephants
a third of them were domesticated and performing various essential tasks
在逻辑上,两句话并不具有并列关系。a third of them were domesticated and performing various essential tasks在语意上是补充说明300,000 elephants的。
选项C:accommodated as much as 300,000 elephants中as much as需要改成as many as,这个错误选项(B)。
选项D:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
选项E:连词and需要连接两个并列的句子(参考功能平行)。因此,accommodating应改为动词过去式accommodated。
E选项:注意仔细看题,accommodating是一个明显的排除点
而E中的with独立主格只用来表伴随状语【伴随着该动作发生的另一动作】,而普通的 “,n+noun modifier“可以用来【表时间,原因,条件,伴随状语】
同位语与独立主格最主要的区别在于:同位语描述的是事物的具体内容、特征,是一种解释;
独立主格 (with ...)则是表示一种伴随状态,描述与所描述分句同步发生的事情。
