The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid Eros for a year, slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.
to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to
to make ever more and more precise measurements, which scientists are hoping to enable them
for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to
with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which scientists hope will enable them to
in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to
题目分析:
本题的大概意思是:
NEAR飞船会环绕Eros一年,缓慢靠近表面来做准确的测量。
选项分析:
选项A:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。定语从句 that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago是一个嵌入式关系分句,将先行词和省略部分代入其中,则有:
scientists hope (that) measurements will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.
选项B:hope的时态有误。没有理由相信科学家是“正在”希望如何,所以应该用将来时。
选项C:for making ever more precise measurements应改为不定式短语to make ever more precise measurements,这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题,在主句“靠近表面”这个动作发生时,“做出更精准的测量”这个动作处于主观上希望开始发生的状态中(目的)。因此,应该用不定式短语。
选项D:making应改为to make错误同选项(C)。
选项E:hope时态错误同选项(B)。

嵌入式关系分句的典型题型
定语从句 that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago是一个嵌入式关系分句,将先行词和省略部分代入其中,则有:
scientists hope (that) measurements will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.
B. scientists are hoping to enable them错误
CE. 原文意思应该是这些measurements使科学家能......而不是科学家自己就be able to......
D. and which错误
而且and表示前后无因果关系,所以不好登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
对于解析说to do和for doing的做法不是很认同,,manhattan和og的解析中从来没有过类似的说法,但是说C是因为and将两个紧密联系的句子拆散了意思是有道理,ron
神的确说过,所以在有更好的选项A的时候不选c是理智的。
E.g:These are the parcels that are going to be posted. 这些是准备要寄出的包裹。
之前有道题用that不能指代复数排除了一个选项,到底可以还是不可以看选项是不是特意在考这个考点吧。
