考题讲解

题目分析:
本题主要考查了not only和but also以及单独的but also的语意区别。

选项分析:

A选项:not only位于句首时,其引导的句子需要用倒装,give和create是由并列连词and连接的两个并列成分,而由于时态已经被did提前,因此只能用原形,即,gave需改为give。另外,not only…but also…表示其连接的两者是递进关系,也就是说其连接的两件事应该是同方向的。在本题中,提供便宜的家具是好事,但是使得森林沙漠化则是坏事。因此,这两件事应该是转折关系而不是递进关系。

B选项:非限定性定语从句 which gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture应就近修饰名词farmland。显然地,给消费者便宜的家具的应该是“系统化的砍伐森林”,而不是“农场”。另外,连词 not only…but also…错误同选项(A)。

C选项:本选项具有语法错误,but是连词,其需要连接两个句子。但本选项中but身前缺少谓语动词

D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:连词 not only…but also…错误同选项(A)。
