题目分析:
本题利用了伴随状语的逻辑主语问题来考查。
选项分析:
A选项:which covers是非限定性定语从句,在语法上就近修饰Earth。但是在逻辑上,能覆盖一些河四倍的面积的只能是“河”,而不能是“地球”,因此其逻辑主语应该是the landlocked Caspian或the largest lake。
B选项:which covers的主语错误同(A)。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。(covering此时可以做伴随状语)(Though called a sea也是伴随状语)
D选项:连词but身后是完整的句子,即,it actually is the largest lake on Earth。但but身前的called a sea是一个过去分词短语,这使得but身前缺少谓语动词,语法有误。
E选项:能被叫“海”的肯定是某一条“河”,而不能是the largest lake(只能说,C这个湖被叫做海,但其实它是最大的湖,不能说最大的湖被叫海)。
老师,关于B选项,which引导的定语从句,也可以修饰the largest lake,这个不是讲过,有时从句也会和被修饰定语有一定距离,也很正常。而且通过句子的语义,很容易判断which引导的定语从句是修饰the largest lake,不必非得放在on Earth前面。而且真的放在on Earth前面了,把on Earth放在后面又显得太远了,所以就可以按照B选项这种情况写句子,不一定是错的。
这个可否解释一下?还是说,我们就为了非得在B里面找点儿错误出来,非得跟答案C对上,就把这个当成错误,其实本来也不是个错误?
跳跃修饰在句子中确实很常见,但是有些题目会用修饰原则来考查你对于逻辑的判断,这时候就必须严格保证就近修饰了。例如本题,明显是通过就近修饰原则来考查考点的。
