考题讲解

题目分析:

本题全划线,看似比较乱,但实则非常简单,只要将每个选项的成分找清,立刻可以找到答案。

选项分析:

A选项:首先,代词it的指代对象只能是单数名词,并列连词but身后的句子是被动语态,主动语序为:
a joint Canadian-Russian study found it to be both feasible as well as desirable.
在逻辑上,被发现是“可行的”且“令人满意的”应该是“每年开放这些航线给更多的飞机”这件事,而不是某个单数名词(代词只能指代名词,不能指代句子)。
其次,found不论是主动还是被动,宾语和宾语的补足语部分都不能用不定式短语,应该用从句或ing形式来表达,这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。由于find的约束力较弱,所以其宾语宾语的补足语不能用不定式to be的形式。
再次,both…and…是固定搭配,不能用both…as well as…。

B选项:本选项句首的currently used by only two or three planes a day是一个过去分词短语,在句中必然是伴随状语,其逻辑主句和其所修饰的句子的主语相同,即,a joint Canadian-Russian study。但在逻辑上,“每天被2~3个飞机用”的应该是“航线”,而不是“研究”。
另外,代词it的指代对象有误同选项(A)。

C选项:本选项没有谓语动词;代词 it的指代对象有误同选项(A);find的宾语补足语部分都不能用不定式短语错误同选项(A);both…as well as…错误同选项(A)。

D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:本选项句首的with短语是独立主格结构,这里没有任何问题。真正的错误出现在主句上,其主动语序为:
a joint Canadian-Russian study found opening those routes to thousands more commercial planes a year as both feasible and desirable.
find身后只能用宾语从句,不能用宾语+宾补的形式。这点类似于不定式和从句的区别,英语中通常允许在“宾语”和“宾补”间补上to be以突出两者的关系,例如:
(1) I put a book on the table.
(2) I put a book to be on the table.
这两个例句的语意基本相同。由于find的约束力较弱,所以身后不能用不定式短语的形式。
