The Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale, with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were connected by a complex regional system of roads.
scale, with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were
scale, with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each,
scale of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each that had been
scale of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with each
scale of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms, each had been
B: 逗号后with引导状语,逗号后of引导定语,of up to 600 rooms“修饰前面的structure,是非限定性的,后面的connected by...也是修饰structure的。所以整句话是用了两个修饰短语来修饰structure
E: 两个完整的句子没有连词
C 时态had been 错
D and 前后不平行
E had been 错连接两个完整句子没有练词
with 75 structures 作状语,修饰built;each of 600 rooms 作同位语,修饰structures;connected过去分词作状语,修饰built,解释说明settlements如何被built on a spectacular scale
choice b is correct: it uses a nonessential modifier set off by commas ('of up to 600 rooms each'), which, if eliminated, yields the intact and legitimate sentence ...carefully engineered structures, connected by... (with another nonessential modifier).
scale of用法错误; comma+prep通常修饰前面整句话,而不是一个名词;
each应该放在逗号前
有必要性.
(D) 按 D 答案给出的句意,with each 和 on a spectacular scale 平行,但 each connected by 改变了
原文的句意,原文没有表达出每一个都被连接的意义
(E) 如果 each 做代词指代主语应该在 each 前面加上连词 and,E 答案中 each 后面是完整句子但没
有连词进行连接;had been 过去完成时没有必要性。
(B) 正确,of up to 600 rooms each 作为插入语修饰 structures,connected 分词跳过插入语修饰前
面最邻近的名词 structures.
(C) 将 with 改变成 of 后,介词的修饰对象发生改变;原句 with 结构修饰 built,而 of 结构修饰的是 scale;
将插入语变成句子一部分后,each 同位语修饰的对象也发生改变,变成了修饰最邻近的 rooms 而不
1) 一个完整的句子之中只能有一个谓语动词,两个谓语动词之间必须有连词进行连接
2) each 型独立主格,强调句尾名词,形式为:
句子 + 复数名词结尾, each + 介词短语/形容词短语/-ed 形式/-ing 形式。
