NASA's methodical approach to the exploration of Mars has not yet answered the questions of whether biological life forms ever emerged on Mars and whether, presuming such life forms having left fossil traces to begin with, those traces can still exist in some moist recesses of the cold and arid planet.
and whether, presuming such life forms having left fossil traces to begin with, those traces can
and whether, if it is presumed that such life forms left some fossil traces to begin with, can those traces
and whether, presuming such life forms left fossil traces to begin with, those traces
and, presuming such life forms did leave some fossil traces to begin with, if they can
and, presuming such life forms to have left fossil traces to begin with, if they
Whether的存在就已经在表示这些痕迹能否存在
这里的can并没有缩小范围,所以赘余
persuming... 在这个句子里作为伴随状语修饰的是 whether those traces still exist...这整个句子,因而没有所谓的明确的逻辑主语。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
②一定要注意完成时的正确使用形式
考点1/平行:whether A and whether B.
1.1 结构平行,排除de
1.2 时态平行,emerged ---- left 排除a
考点2/句子结构: ,***, 跳过逗号文字,b: whether can those traces ... whether 和 can意思重复,要去掉can或者whether中任意一个。b排除。另外c中 whether,if...这样也是同一个意思,不简洁。
考点2/句子结构:
看了很多例句之后发现,presuming这个从句貌似不需要修饰主句主语,后面接句子(that可省略),用法类似于if
所以三个结构式
A.and whether those traces can
B.and whether can those traces
C.and whether those traces
B的结构错误,verb在subject前面,没有必要倒桩
则AC的区别就是是否应该存在这个can. 所以看前半句whether biological life forms ever emerged on Mars
动词是emerged,所以这里应该用exist,而不是can,这里不是情态动词平行
A中having done不能作定语修饰名词,排除;
B中whether后面没有主语,排除;
既然四个选项都用presuming,就不用纠结逻辑主语的问题了。
having done为什么不能做定语?B是倒装吧,主语不就是those traces吗登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
感觉用have应该不是错误点:在不定式或分词短语中加have表示的是强调先时性。错误点应该是你提及的情态动词上。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
