考题讲解

题目分析:

破折号中的using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings是插入语,不影响主干结构,因此本题的主干为:
The organic food industry has organized a successful grassroots campaign that has convinced the Department of Agriculture


选项分析:

A选项:定语从句that have convinced the Department of Agriculture的先行词应为a successful grassroots campaign,即,这个草根运动劝服了the Department of Agriculture。因此,由于campaign是单数,所以应将have convinced改为单数动词has convinced。另外,also是副词,表示“也”,和并列连词and之间在语意上重复。

B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

C选项:介词短语in convincing the Department of Agriculture需改为定语从句 that has convinced the Department of Agriculture。这是因为,介词身后只能是动名词短语,而动名词短语在字面上没有主语。例如,我们说,a bag for sleeping,这个词的意思是,睡袋。这完全不等同于a bag that sleeps(一个bag没法睡觉)。在本题语境下,发出convince这个动作的肯定是a successful grassroots campaign,即,草根运动劝服了政府,因此必须用定语从句

D选项:并列连词and不能换为as well as,as well as使mass mailings与前两项变为从属或递进关系,而在逻辑上,网站,公众集会,广发邮件应是单纯的并列关系。

E选项:介词短语in convincing the Department of Agriculture错误同(C)。
