The English physician Edward Jenner found that if experimental subjects were deliberately infected with cowpox, which caused only a mild illness, they are immune from smallpox.
which caused only a mild illness, they are immune from
causing only a mild illness, they become immune from
which causes only a mild illness, they are immune to
causing only a mild illness, they became immune from
which caused only a mild illness, they would become immune to
题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:由于they are immune from smallpox是一个虚拟的情况,即,它是存在于“实验者感染cowpox”的情况下的,因此,其应该用虚拟语气,即,they would become immune from smallpox。
B选项:分词短语causing only a mild illness是伴随状语,其主语为它所修饰的句子的主语,即,experimental subjects。但在逻辑上,引起疾病的应该是 cowpox,而不是experimental subjects。
C选项:本选项错误同选项(A)。
D选项:本选项错误同选项(B)。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
immune to VS immune from:
You become immune to a disease or a drug, as in the above examples, but immune from something when the object is some kind of obligation or duty, such as taxation, or something that can happen to you, such as prosecution.
cause only a mild illness可以用动名词,也可以用which从句来做定语修饰cowpox,但是如果causing only a mild illness前面加了逗号,就可以当做独立主格做状语,它的主语是experimental subjects,语义不对,可以排除BD。
另外整个that从句用的是虚拟语气,所以动词都要用虚拟形式。排除C和A。
causing only a mild illness的应该是cowpox,而不是experimental subjects,故不应该用伴随状语
Immune to 固定搭配
虚拟语气:主将从现。 If they were XXX, they would XXX
B选项:分词短语causing only a mild illness是伴随状语,其主语为它所修饰的句子的主语,即,experimental subjects。但在逻辑上,引起疾病的应该是 cowpox,而不是experimental subjects。
在判断该用定从或是伴随状语时别忘记判断主语
虚拟语气:主将从现。
immune to是固搭吧
immune to是固搭吧
if。。。were。。。,。。。would。。。。
哎呀,看尾不看头。。。。罪过罪过
虚拟语气
时态一致!!"if subjects were injected...., ....would become....."
immune to
which caused
都是过去时
ing与从句的主语需要区分开
if也可以引导非虚拟,如果if从句加的是动词原型,表明作者觉得这个if是很可能发生的,所以后面也就不需要用虚拟语气了,只是假设一种可能出现的现象
eg: A wildlife expert predicts that the reintroduction will fail if the density of the timber wolf population in that region is greater than one wolf for every 39 square miles.
简单题!!!
考察:
句意, 虚拟语气
if 条件从句的谓语动词用虚拟语气were,主句也要用虚拟语气
if I were you, I would/should be....
题中if条件从句用了if,主句后面要用would/should do虚拟语气来表示
if虚拟也可以表示推测:predict /expect that whether significant warming will occur and what impact it would have if it did
1. 伴随状语doing修饰主句的主语,而experimental subjects如果做causing的主语则逻辑不通;
2. immune to是免疫某种细菌or疾病,而immune from是逃脱某种duty or fee
分词短语causing only a mild illness是伴随状语,其主语为它所修饰的句子的主语,即,experimental subjects。但在逻辑上,引起疾病的应该是 cowpox,而不是experimental subjects。which修饰离他最近的名词,即cowpox
千万不要想ving修饰整句
分词短语causing only a mild illness是伴随状语,其主语为它所修饰的句子的主语,即,experimental subjects。但在逻辑上,引起疾病的应该是 cowpox,而不是experimental subjects。
