题目分析:
想做对本题,考生必须看全整句,不能只看划线部分。很多的考点判断依据是藏在未划线部分的。
本题划线部分身前的employed是过去分词,整个分词短语employed by manufacturers and utility companies as product demonstrators and publicists是women的定语,语句结构为:
the women were employed by manufacturers and utility companies as product demonstrators and publicists.
选项分析:
A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B选项:首先,A is employed as B的意思是:A被雇佣为B,A is employed to be B的意思是:A被利用为B。显然地,本题的意思是女性被雇佣为产品说明者,而不是女性被利用为产品说明者。其次,划线部分身后的定语从句who initially promoted new and unfamiliar technology to female customers最近的名词为manufacturers and utility companies。在逻辑上,该定语从句描述的是product demonstrators and publicists。
C选项:划线部分身后的定语从句修饰对象错误同选项(B);A is employed to do错误同选项(B)。
D选项:A is employed to be B错误同选项(B)。
E选项:A is employed to do错误同选项(B)。
定语从句往往会因为结构,倒装等原因,出现跳跃修饰的情况,而是否要严格遵守跳跃修饰,你要注意看题目考点是不是要考你,什么时候要考你呢?就是保持定语从句不变,变换离定语从句最近的先行词,本题明显是这样的情况。那根据逻辑意思判断,显然是publicists而不是companies或者products在提高新技术。 查阅了朗文和牛津字典,发现employ sb as sth和 employ sb to do sth并没有很大区分,所以对毕出老师的解释先报观望态度,自己做题时觉得employ约束力强,上来就把A直接排除掉了
说的对,employ无法作为判断点。而根据先行词判断的话a和d都可以。因为d中a of b 后的定语从句修饰对象根据who判断是修饰demonstrator和publicist的。这时候怎么判断
