题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:划线部分的代词it应该同未划线部分出现的its指代对象相同,即,the company,但是,在逻辑上,在过去两年内下降的应该是公司的利润(its profits)而不是公司本身(the company)。
B选项:时态有误,had increased是过去完成时,过去完成时必须存在于有明确的过去时间点作为参照的语境中,即,表示过去的过去,本句中由于没有明确的过去时间作为参照,所以此处不能用过去完成时;it错误同(A)。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法上和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项:本选项中的介词短语with a five percent increase是状语(用逗号和主句隔开的介词短语通常都是状语)。顾名思义,状语是用来修饰动词的特性或特征的。在逻辑上,“增长了5%”描述的是profit的特点,而不是be evident的特征,由于profits是名词,所以“增长了5%”必须做profits的定语。
E选项:本选项错误同(D)。
B:同A,it指代对象不合理
C:连词+doing伴随主语,其主语和修饰对象的主语一样
DE:逗号+with作为状语,during是介词;
名词描述名词特征,在这里讲的是利润特征;状语修饰谓语,增长不是be evident的特征
in this sentence, we don\'t want an adverbial modifier, since it doesn\'t make any sense for this modifier to apply to the entire preceding claus
注意AB选项中it的指代问题 profits 是副词
if you see this construction, you should generally be able to replace it with "after VERBing". it's possible that there are exceptions, but i can't think of any at this time.
连词after+现在分词都是伴随状语,是简化状语从句。分词本身是没有时态的,现在分词只是表示主动而已。状语也是修饰语,有就近修饰的原则,选项C中就是修饰increae的咯~登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论

这个解释有问题,首先状语就不一定是修饰动词的,举个例子,I read the book on the table. "on the table"是状语吧?它修饰read吗?显然修饰的是book。看RON说,当with前面有comma的时候,A. 它可以修饰preceding clause 此时的作用相当于V+ ing
B. 也可以修饰preceding main noun 此时作用相当于which
具体修饰什么,完全是看context。
这道题我觉得with的修饰从语法上来说没有问题,只是which更好,因为which只能修饰profits,一点歧义都不会造成,非常严谨。而with既然都可以,那么读者就会思考一下with后面的内容是修饰哪个部分,因此从表达的严谨上来看,which更好。
恩恩 说的很对 谢谢~~
对了 此题的with是有问题的 因为with引导的状语,与主句主语相同,The results increased five percent意思就不对了
在语法上,comma+with可以修饰它前面的那个名词,也就是profits。with引导的独立主格结构,可以修饰前面分句,谓语动词,主语,以及它紧跟的名词,修饰紧跟的名词时,相当于which。既然修饰紧跟的名词,为什么逻辑主语是前面分句的主语results?而且独立主格结构有自己的主语,它只是跟前一句中的某个部分或者整句有逻辑关系而已。
I read the book on the table,我觉得这里的on the table 是做定语修饰book的,不是状语。如果做状语的话应该要用逗号隔开
是的,我之前说的有些问题。这里 on the table是作后置定语。
