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。
try to do尽力做某事
try doing试着做某事
A. 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。但实际上应该是二者均strained to the breaking point,故错误
B. the patience of its customers and its network变成了customer和network的patience,错误
