题目分析:燃油和天然气期货昨天疯长,因为对主要的供暖地区的长期低温预测增加了恐慌:供应将不足以满足冬天的需求
本题选项间的主要差异是定语 vs 同位语
选项分析:
A选项:“insufficient supplies”是fear的定语:不足的 供应 的 恐慌;capable of是修饰supplies的定语:有能力满足需求的供应。所以,as从句的字面意思变成:预测 增加了 有能力满足需求的不充足的供应的恐慌。
B选项:supplies依旧做了fear的定语:“供应的恐慌”,不合逻辑。后面是that引导的定语从句,修饰supplies。字面意思为:无法满足需求的供应的恐慌
C选项:同B
D选项:that引导的是fear的同位语从句,同位语从句里的核心句意是:这里有供应(there would be supplies),insufficient...是修饰supplies的定语。但从逻辑上来说,同位语里的核心句意应该是:供应不充足,而不是 这里有供应。
E选项:正确
C选项,fears of insufficient supply,害怕的是不足的供应,这样也不合理吗
C项核心词是supplies,其他的insufficient和that从句都是修饰supplies的定语;
E项是个同位语从句,整个从句修饰fears,要说核心词应该就是动作的这部分了“would be insufficient”;
可体会其中不同:“害怕的不是不充分的供应这个东西,不充分的供应本身是不值得害怕的,不充分的供应不能满足需求这件事情才令人害怕。
