考题讲解

题目分析:
略。

选项分析:

A选项:and是连词,应该连接两个句子。本选项and身后缺少谓语动词。
另外,本选项整个划线部分是evidence的定语从句,这个定语从句应该改为不定式短语。这点考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。用之于本题,主句“澳大利亚胚胎学家发现证据”这件事会直接影响“证据能表明大象的进化史”这件事的发生与否(如果不发现证据,证据自然什么都无法证明)。

B选项:定语从句错误同(A)。

C选项:本选项也是evidence的定语,是一个现在分词短语。这点考查了“不定式和ing的区别”。同理于选项(A),本题中evidence的定语必须是不定式形式。另外,had descended是过去完成时,表示某一个在过去的过去发生的事件。由于证据表明的是“客观真理”,不是某一个事件,所以应该过一般现在时而非过去完成时。

D选项:
“大象来自于水生动物”是一个客观存在的事实,所以应该用一般现在时而不是过去完成时。(该错误同选项(C))

E选项:
Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
