题目分析:
本题的原句有点长,其实主干很简单,去掉长长的插入语having amassed a wealth of knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain and its development from birth to adulthood,主干为:
Neuroscientists are now drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain grows.
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是连词,需要连接两个句子。但在本选项中,and身前的句子没有谓语动词。
C选项:and身前的句子没有谓语动词错误同(B)。
D选项:划线部分身后的now drawing是伴随状语,本选项在语法上是没有错误的。但是,依据图形背景原则,相对于“下结论”来说,“积攒知识”的持续时间必然更长,其是“下结论”这个事件的背景。因此,draw应为主句,amass应为从句(伴随状语)。
E选项:本选项错误同(D)。
插入语是插在句子中的一个词/短语或句子,用两个逗号隔开,与句子的其他成分没有语法关系,可以视为独立成分。通常是对一句话进行解释、补充。
A中的having amassed,因为有逻辑主语,所以既可以看成是伴随状语也可以看成是插入语,都是在修饰 Neuroscientists are drawing conclusion这个句子。伴随着积累知识,他们形成了结论。
D/E,按图形背景原理形成结论发生时间短于经过20年的积累知识,前者做主句更优。
现在分词做伴随状语起到伴随的动作和伴随的结果两种功能,如A就是伴随着积累知识的动作,形成了结论;E是他们积累知识,伴随的结果是形成了结论。
伴随的动作表示与主句动作同时发生,having则表示先时性;伴随的结果需要是主句动作的直接的、自然而然的结果。E积累知识并不会自然而然就形成结论,drawing conclusion用法不好。
