题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:由于they are immune from smallpox是一个虚拟的情况,即,它是存在于“实验者感染cowpox”的情况下的,因此,其应该用虚拟语气,即,they would become immune from smallpox。
B选项:分词短语causing only a mild illness是伴随状语,其主语为它所修饰的句子的主语,即,experimental subjects。但在逻辑上,引起疾病的应该是 cowpox,而不是experimental subjects。
C选项:本选项错误同选项(A)。
D选项:本选项错误同选项(B)。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
对于D选项,有以下疑问:
1,分词短语causing only a mild illness,可以看做是非限定性定语从句的简化吗?它修饰cowpox
2, 【If A 一般过去式,B+一般过去式】在语法上是否正确?难道一定要用【If A 一般过去式,B+虚拟语气】的结构吗?这里陈述的实验中观察到的事实,if A相当于是一个条件判断,B+一般过去式陈述观察到的结果,这样有错吗?
