题目分析:
本题难度相对较大,尤其是对prove的用法,需要十分关注。
选项分析:
A选项:很多同学可能会认为这里的prove最好是被动语态,即,公司被证明如何如何。但实际上,prove还有自己的系动词用法,这里附上一个英英解释:
If something proves to be true or to have a particular quality, it becomes clear after a period of time that it is true or has that quality.
因此,这里的prove是完全没有问题的。本选项的错误是名词payment需改为ing短语paying,这点考查了名词和ing的区别。用之于本题,显然地,句子中说公司拖欠了“支付医生和医院”的费用,也就是说,“支付”这个事件必然没有时间终止点(还没支付完嘛),应用ing短语。
B选项:名词payment需改为ing短语paying错误同选项(A)。
C选项:代词its是赘余的。只要说在“公司在支付医生和医院费用方面落后”即可以表示选项所呈现的语意了,而不必说“公司在公司支付医生和医院的费用方面落后”。
D选项:如果用ing短语 then proving unable to handle the increase in business,则此时的but只能是介词而不是连词了(连词身后肯定是连接句子,只有介词身后才能用名词短语)。当but是介词是,它的意思是“除了...”。在本选项中,the health care company became one of the largest health care providers in the metropolitan area和it proved unable to handle the increase in business之间应是“转折”关系,而非“除了”关系。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上都是正确的。
这里的while是不是也是错误的?因为前后两件事并不是同时发生的
原来it 是可以省略的啊。。。
我信誓旦旦的选了C,翻译出来的确变成了,公司证明了公司不能干啥,直接说公司证明了不能干啥就简单了

求讲解。but前后平行?it赘余?
解析已更新。
老师,E中but后面应该是句子,去掉 it 不就缺少主语了吗?
主语相同所以可以省略?

选项ab中的while 即便表示转折对比,while 也有at the same time的意思与then矛盾
in its payment没有问题,只是没有in paying to简洁
选项b中把fall和handle并列也是不当的,因为fall和handle并不属于同意层次,后者应当是前者的结果
选项c it多余 可以省略 后面in its paying使得paying从动词变成了动名词,不简洁(介词+one‘s +doing往往是不简洁的)
