考题讲解

题目分析:
本题比较难。很多考生一看到未划线部分有一个not only,然后立刻就在选项中找but also。实际上,not only…but also…确实是一个习惯表达,但是并不是唯一正确的习惯表达。可以用not only…but…,也可以用not only…also…。

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:and身后的selling the data to competitors是一个分词短语,该分词短语在and身前并没有平行对象。

C选项:pilfering valuable information是分词短语。句型not only…but also…中,not only和but also必须各自引导一个完整的句子,需要有完整的主谓结构。(当然,not only…but also…和and做连词是一个道理,也可以因为省略现象而只连接两个功能相同的部分。本题中的not only身后就是一个完整句,所以but also身后也必须是完整句)

D选项:
句型not only…but also…中,not only和but also必须各自引导一个完整的句子,本选项的but also身后缺少主语。

E选项:
pilfering valuable information是分词短语错误同(C)。
