those mothers那些妈妈
显然前者更准确
b worked修饰孩子
deven though 逻辑不对的同时 worked修饰孩子
e with作状语 逻辑不对
A working修饰的儿女
B worked修饰儿女
C 正确
D work 修饰儿女
E working 修饰儿女
原句中,while 有点儿类似汉语的“而”。“而”可以用来表达两者之间的对比,不带转折语气。
D, even though 表达了强烈的转折关系,但是这两者之间其实并不存在这种关系。
E, with 结构做状语,表示“同时”,显然这两个数据之间并不具备这样的逻辑联系。
2. There be 句型的使用要谨慎,
A 选项中,there be 的出现完全多余,因为 there was one-third of mothers working outside the home, 和 one-third o mother working outside the home 表达的意思完全是一样的。
而B,D选项中,there be 句型的出现不仅使句子变得冗长,而且导致将后面的 mother work 变成了 mother who worked 定语从句,但是因为定语从句和 mother 之间有了with young children 做修饰语,导致定语从句修饰歧义。
A: there was有问题,复数;there was, 导致working outside the home in 1975修饰children
B:there were多余,一是与下面的部分不平行,二是修饰语的错位,导致worked outside the home in 1975修饰children
D 选项:there were多余,导致worked outside the home in 1975修饰children
E选项:with young children working outside the home,修饰错位
