Nobody knows exactly how many languages there are in the world, partly because of the difficulty of distinguishing between a language and the sublanguages or dialects within it, but those who have tried to count typically have found about five thousand.

题目分析:
略
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,the sublanguages or dialects肯定是在一种语言中(within),因此应该用代词it来指代a language,不能用them;
其次,with those who have tried counting typically finding about five thousand是独立主格结构。但其应该被改为一个普通的合句(类似于选项(A))。“没人知道在世界上一共有多少种语言”和“尝试这么做的人发现5000种”之间没有时间关系,是一件事的两个方面,应该用并列连词and连接。
最后,本题中try身后必须加不定式to do,而不能加动名词doing。这点考查了“不定式和ing的区别”。用之于本题,try to do表示某人尝试去做某事(总体感觉很吃力,并且通常要有结果),而try doing表示试着做(总体感觉很轻松,不需要有结果)。这点的语意区别较为细微,让我们用几个例句来阐述:
(1) James tried to score high in GMAT, but he failed.
(2) James tried scoring high in GMAT.
句(1)表示詹姆斯很努力的在尝试考取高分,但是他最终还是没有成功(有结果)。句(2)表示,詹姆斯仅仅是尝试一下考取高分这件事,通常身后不加他是否成功了。显然地,to do中的try的约束力更强,是严谨的尝试,而doing中的try约束力更弱,是随意的尝试,不计结果的。
在本题中,显然地,由于有了5000种这个结果,应该用try to do。
C选项:try counting错误同(B);另外,选项中第二个代词it的指代对象只能是单数名词,但其逻辑上应该指代复数名词languages。
D选项:between…and…是习惯用语,在语法上不存在between…or…;within them的them指代对象有误,同(B);count them的them指代对象有误。
E选项:between…or…错误同(D);within them的them指代对象有误。
补充:try to do =attempt to do; try doing = test/use
1-Between ..and是固定说法, 排除DE, 因为Between...or 错;
2-ABC中 it 和them是区分点,it实际指代a language; 如果这里还拿不准先hold一下;看后面一句,AC分别是but引导的合句, B是with 独立主格;
A,句子结构完整;正确;
C, those指的是语言,主语是 language然后谓语直接find原型,语言只能被发现,应该是被动语态,不能这么玩,C错;
B,with+N+动名词,不能够是动名词呀,明明被动语态,错;
综上,妥妥A;
try to do, try doing区别。it指代,需要理解原文
try to do和try doing的区别
OG上的解释:选项C中第二个it对应的指代是languages,单复数不符。
解析已经添加上了。
“C选项中第二个代词it的指代对象只能是单数名词,但其逻辑上应该指代复数名词languages。” 正确答案A 选项也是with it 呀。
第二个it,明白了,没有问题了。

错了。独立主格。 try to do
我记得Try doing sth. 尝试做某事(这个只是试试看...) ,有这个意思的吧?
