题目分析:
本题有些难度,有些考点不易看出。实际上,从平行这个角度来说,五个选项都可以算正确。
选项分析:
A选项:本选项中expected和said平行,均由motion picture industry representatives发出,这点没有错误。唯一的错误出现在increase的状语上。其状语是一个介词短语(with high-speed internet connections that become more widely available),这个介词短语的核心词为connections。但是,在逻辑上,盗版不是伴随着“互联网的连接”而上升的,而应该是伴随着“互联网的连接被更加广泛的提供”而上升的(是更加广泛的接受导致盗版猖獗,而不是互联网连接导致盗版猖獗)。因此,increase的状语的核心词应该是become more widely available这整个系表结构,而不能是connections。
B选项:expect的宾语是名词短语the increase of piracy。这是不正确的。这点考查了“不定式和名词的区别”。用之于本题,expect的约束力较强,身后的宾语或宾补应该用不定式的形式。
C选项:expect应改为过去时expected;more和increase重复了,应该将more去掉。
D选项:the increase of错误同(B)。另外,在and身前加的逗号是完全没有问题的。英语中逗号可以表示一种语气的停顿,而并非要表达什么特殊的含义(除了限定性定语和非限定性定语外,非限定性定语身前的逗号是有意义的)。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
正确选项是E。关于C和D都有一个疑问
C:如果expect改成expected是否成立?为什么they expect more priacy是said that后面的宾语从句,不是和said同级并列呢?如何通过语义判断呢?
D: 大多数解释都是expected的强约束性,expected to do。另外一个错误是,would在时间状语从句里面显的赘余。难道时间状语从句就不可以用would表示将来了吗? 如果死扣语义,would的问题是什么呢?过去有一个预期,这个预期是剽窃的增长会伴随着互联网将要发展;互联网“将要”发展有什么问题嘛?虽然可以是互联网正在发展,一直在发展;但是将要更加的发达不是也很正确嘛?
