考题讲解

题目分析:
由于语法结构的不同,所以不同选项中具有and关系的内容不同:在(A)(B)中,并列的两者为stress和invest;在(C)(D)中,并列的两者依然为stress和invest,但是两者的时态不同;在(E)中,并列的两者为greater economic development和investment。

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:economically是副词,不能修饰名词development。其次,economically的意思是“节约地”,而不是经济上的。

C选项:stress和invest应该是由城市在同一时段发出的两个不同的动作,因此两者的时态应该保持一致,不能前者用进行时,后者用一般现在时。

D选项:
economically错误同(B);stress和invest的平行错误同(C)。

E选项:
stress和invest都是cities发出的动作,是城市发出的两个行为,不能用greater economic development和investment平行。
