题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:按照本选项所写,with its network strained to the breaking point会单独形成一个独立主格结构,其与身前的介词短语with the patience of its customers形成并列关系。但在逻辑上,无论是“顾客的耐心”,还是“公司的网络”,都应是达到爆发点(因为后文写到了公司要声明手段来缓解拥挤)。
B选项:本选项的并列对象换成了its customers和 its network,这在逻辑上也是不正确的。只有顾客才能有耐心,网络不能有耐心。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项:按照本选项所写,with the patience of its customers strained to the breaking point会单独形成一个独立主格结构,其与身前的介词短语with its network 形成并列关系。该错误原理同选项(A)。
E选项:需将try relieving the congestion改为try to relieve the congestion,这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。本题的意思是,公司声明方法来尝试缓解拥挤,此时的try对于relieve这个动作的约束力较强,即,尝试了,就可能会减轻,不尝试,肯定没戏。
请注意,try doing也是一种习惯的表达方式,此时的意思是“尽力做某事”,自然地,try当“尽力”讲时,约束力较差,无论是否尽力,身后的doing都可能已经发生,不由于try的改变而发生改变。
老师,
1)A选项为什么不能看做是并列的2个独立主格结构,而只是省略了?如下:
With the patience of its customers (strained to the breaking point) and with its network strained to the breaking point,其中括号内是省略的部分;D选项也是同样的原理;
2)B选项可否看成是:the patience of its customers 与 its network的并列?这样就不存在“网络的信心”这个问题了?
我对这道题目的判断是,前半句都是独立主格结构,做句子的状语,所以整个句子的成分是一致的,那么这样的题目的就是“考点5:外延和内涵”,那么问题就出现在最后,考察to do, doing, 从句的区别;
请老师指正。谢谢!
