考题讲解

题目分析:
本题是十分有意思的一道题。虽然短,但是难度却并不低。

选项分析:

A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

B选项:本选项的主要错误在划线部分的谓语动词的“时态”上,必须把will be used改成虚拟语气be used。on condition that意思是“在...情况下”,通常表示一种虚拟的情况,例如:
He can use the bicycle on condition that he return it tomorrow.
因此,be named应该用原型。请注意,有些时候on condition that身后是真实条件句,但这种情况并不多见。通常if可以连接真实条件句或非真实条件句,而on condition that则通常只连接非真实条件句。

C选项:their names are not used至少需要改为their names be not used。该错误同(B)。

D选项:on condition of应改为on condition that,并且将身后的内容变为从句。这是因为,在英语中,条件(不论真实还是非真实)均应以从句来表达,ing短语通常是用来表达具有真实性的事件的。

E选项:本选项错误(D)。
