考题讲解

题目分析:
首先要澄清there be句型的核心词问题。不像一般的句子(主谓宾或者主系表),there be的核心词是“有(have)”。例如:there are three chairs in the office,该例句的意思是:在办公室里三把椅子。

选项分析:

A选项:have raised的主语是a surge,主谓不一致,所以应将have改为has;hopes的同位语从句部分(that there is a recovery finally under way)的核心词是“有”,在逻辑上,零售销量上升增加的希望应该是“经济复苏最终会来的”,而不是“一种经济复苏”,所以hopes的同位语的核心词应该是be(is)这个行为(a recovery is finally under way)而不是“有”这个行为。

B选项:hopes的同位语部分的核心词错误同(A);there being没有问题。there being是there be句型的动名词形式(名物化),例如:
The Chinese are proud of there being the Great Wall in North China.(中国人以在中国北部有个长城而自豪)
本选项中介词for后面接的相当于一个动名词短语,没有语法错误。真正的错误和(A)一样,是核心词不正确。

C选项:had raised是过去完成时,表示过去的过去,一般来说在语境中需要有一个过去时间作为参照才能使用,所以本选项中的had应该改为has;在介词for身后,a recovery是名词,其身后的finally being under way是现在分词短语,做定语修饰a recovery,因此,整个修饰hopes的部分的核心词即为名词a recovery,这也是不正确的,正如(A)所讲,hopes定语部分的核心词应该是be(is)这个行为(a recovery is finally under way),而也不能是recovery这个名词。

D选项:
Correct.本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:
hopes的定语部分的核心词错误同(C)。
