题目分析:
本题有一定的难度。in addition to的意思是:除…之外…。其连接的两个名词不一定要具有可比的关系,例如,我们可以说:
In addition to the tractor, we have acquired a new rice transplanter. (除了拖拉机,我们又添了一台插秧机。)
例句中的tractor显然和we是不可比的,但是这个例句是正确的。因此,不能用her work和Mary Leakey不可比排除掉选项(A)(B)(C)。
选项分析:
A选项:本选项在语法上没有问题。名词短语her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity和动名词短语documenting East African cave paintings是平行的,因为都可以算作名词短语。但是,我们应该将动名词短语documenting East African cave paintings改为名词短语her painstaking documentation of East African cave paintings,这点考查了名词和ing的区别。用之于本题,“记录下东非的洞穴壁画”在本句中显然是一个有时间终止点的行为,尤其是主句已经谈到Mary Leakey对考古的贡献了,贡献的东西,一定是在过去已经结束的事件。
B选项:动名词短语documenting East African cave paintings应改为名词短语her painstaking documentation of East African cave paintings,该错误同选项(A)。
C选项:本选项用了Mary Leakey was a contributor…with x and with y的句型,没有明确Mary Leakey的贡献与x、y之间的关系,be a contributor的意思同主谓关系不同。例如:
(1) I sing a song by my iPhone.
(2) I am a singer of a song by iPhone.
句(1)描述的是一个事件,句(2)则是对“我”的一个定义。句(2)的意思是,我是一个通过iPhone唱歌的歌手。言下之意是,我一般都是用iPhone唱歌的,不会登上舞台等等。
同理,本选项的意思是:Mary Leakey是一个利用发现和记录至于考古学的贡献者。言下之意是,Mary Leakey一般都是用她对于人类行为的发现和对于东非的洞穴壁画的记录来贡献于考古的,不会用其它方式对考古做贡献。显然地,通过题目中所给的信息,我们无法得到这样的结论。只能说,Mary Leakey做的一个事件,而不能给Mary Leakey定性。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:动名词短语discovering the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity应改为名词短语her discovery of the earliest direct evidence of hominid activity,该错误同理于选项(A)。
In addition to放在句首时,用这个结构add another example to the subject,也可以add another example to a different noun in the sentence,比如动词的宾语或者其他名词。
可以根据句末的"and"排除abc么
动名词应改为名词短语 表示已经完成
选项c的逻辑意思不当
AC选项都用的with短语,是否可以归结为“实意的缺失”?
已经讲过了,这不是考点,不要用来做题。
