The computer company registered a $16 million net loss for the year, largely because it was profitable only overseas, where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing to lose money in North America.
where much of their profits were used for paying higher taxes, while continuing
where much of their profits went to pay higher taxes, as they continued
where much of its profit went to pay higher taxes, while it continued
with much of their profits going to pay higher taxes, while continuing
with much of the profit used for paying higher taxes, as it continued
美国人写的,north America不在overseas里面。。想了半天逻辑。。
选项E为独立主格,实为状语从句。
海外的利润大部分用来支付高额的税,所以where从句作为定语从句修饰overseas。
-ing comma修饰主句,如果采用这种形式,其位置离主句太远,不正确,排除A,D
B:指代错误,应用its and it
C:无误
E:这个时候要去判断with much···想要修饰的是主句还是临近的名词overseas?→应该是修overseas,如果修主句,那with也放得太后面了,应该放到company前面更合适。其次as和because都是从属连接词,连续两个由从属连接词引导的从句应该要有并列连接词,如FANBOYS,所以E错误。
"used to pay", because the profits were directly used to pay the taxes.
RON ("Used for __ing" is more indirect. E.g., My father uses this chair for watching television, but my father uses his eyes to watch television.)
电脑公司这年注册了16百万的纯亏,大部分由于它只在海外盈利,在海外它大部分的利润被用来支付高额的税,然而它在北美继续亏损。A continuing 不修饰register; B 不是their profit;D their profit;E with 做独立主格修饰was profitable,as 像,因为,当
the usage of with should modify the preceding parts, offering some extra information.
But the usage does not make sense, because the non-underlined part talks about losses, and the with part talks about the usage of profit. ( it shouldn't serve as a modifier to the non-underlined part since there is no logical relationship there)
在国外是only profitable,但是much of the profits拿去pay比国内更高的tax了,(所以最后也没盈余很多),然而在国内继续亏钱。考虑这两方面,公司总体上亏了很多钱。
where 定语从句修饰overseas,在海外付了更高的税。
1-代词指代句中符合逻辑的名词the company, their错误,排除ABD;
2-D和E均是独立主格结构,跟oversea之间没有直接语意的关系,作状语,排除D和E
选C
a.b.c是overseas的定语,d.e是状语修饰这个register的动作显然不对;a.b.选项里的their显然不对,这里的逻辑应该指代company是单数。
profit怎么能主动发出went to pay的动作呢?
这种拟人化的用法很常见咯~例如:我的钱都跑去股市里了(钱也不是自己跑的嘛)。
这个where是修饰什么的呢?看起来是oversea,但是句意就不对了,求解释
根据 Ron的回复,where是修饰oversea:"Where" is not restricted to describing nouns. "Overseas" refers to a physical location, so you're fine here. (The correct answer is C.)
