题目分析:
本题划线部分很长,但是难度其实不大,只要找到关键词就可以从容解题。本句的大概意思是:
最终达成了一个决定,这个决定是:政治决策者决定推迟一个计划,并且将这个计划变成了细小的步骤。
选项分析:
选项A:instead of which they proposed a series of smaller steps是定语从句,其在字面上需就近修饰名词other endangered fish。将先行词放入定语从句中则有:
they proposed a series of smaller steps instead of other endangered fish.
显然地,instead of身后的名词应该是整个计划,而不是其它的鱼。
选项B:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
选项C:首先,plan的定语需要用不定式短语to protect wild salmon and other endangered fish而不能用介词短语for protecting wild salmon and other endangered fish。这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题,在主句“推迟计划”这个事件发生时,显然该计划的内容处于主观上将会发生的状态(只不过是比之前的发生时间可能推迟了,但是决策者依然认为该计划会发生),因此,应该用不定式短语。
其次,依图形背景原则合句and instead they proposed a series of smaller steps应改为伴随状语proposing instead a series of smaller steps。这是因为,政治决策者“推迟计划”和“提出细小的步骤”应是同期进行的,需将其中一者设置为背景。
选项D:句首的伴随状语Finally reaching a decision on an issue that has long been politically charged in the Pacific Northwest的主语在字面上是plan。在逻辑上,达到一个决策的,只能是“政治制定者”,不能是一个计划。
选项E:本选项错误同选项(D),当然在选项中还有一些其他错误,这里就不一一列举了。
v-ing 的逻辑主语也与前一句保持一致的
to do 表目的 很清晰
v-ing表示同时发生也很清晰
其他的好排除,在b和c之间 如果在to do 和 for doing 上不把握,那就通过句子意思排除,那个c postpone推迟a计划是为了 保护鳗鱼和濒危鱼类,取而代之的小计划是为了什么呢?没说! intending 变成了两个计划同时实施的目的,而不是采取小计划保护整个鱼类。就是做了一件事是为了什么,同时做另一件事是为了什么没有说,话锋一转 又说了同时的两件事情 是为了什么。
C选项的for doing 确实不好 但是感觉“推迟计划”和“提出细小的步骤”应该是并列的两件事
C项,首先,intending在句尾,且前面有逗号,既能够作定语修饰steps,又能够修饰整个句子,造成歧义:延迟计划,也是为了保护the fish。
其次,plan to 由于for;
最后,and instead they这个逻辑上表达wordy。
在推迟计划的同时推行了一系列小的step,作伴随状语
错选了C,不知道B的proposing是修饰谁的,做什么成分的啊请问= =?

C:Using the participle form, "intending", after a comma changes the way the modifier works. Instead of simply modifying steps, now "intending" is modifying the preceding clauses, implying that the politicians both proposed the smaller steps AND postponed an ambitious plan in an attempt to protect the fish. This doesn't make sense because delaying the ambitious plan does not protect the fish.

请老师讲一下B,proposing 这句是做什么成分的?
b的proposing不是做伴随就近修饰吗?
