Marconi's conception of the radio was as a substitute for the telephone, a tool for private conversation; instead, it is precisely the opposite, a tool for communicating with a large, public audience.

题目分析:
本题的难度在于有些选项的考点隐藏的较深,较难以排除。
选项分析:
A选项:本选项是一个系表结构,as a substitute for the telephone是Marconi’s conception of the radio的表语。在语法上,表语也称为主语的补语,在解释说明主语。因此,本选项的意思是:“M对于收音机的概念”是“电话的替代品”。但是,在逻辑上这是不正确的。因为,真正“是”电话的替代品的应该是“收音机”,而不是某人对收音机的概念,即,应该写为:
Marconi conceived of the radio as a tool for private conversation.
此时,as a tool for private conversation做宾语的补语,其表示the radio和a tool for private conversation之间是“是”的关系,这是因为,例如:
I put the book on the table.
划线部分也是宾语(the book)的补足语。观察例句可知,宾语the book和补语on the table之间是“是”的关系,即,the book is on the table。例句表示,我“令”书具有在桌子上这一状态。
B选项:but是一个连词,必须连接两个句子(有时因为省略而看似只连接了两个功能相同的成分(详见功能平行))。本选项中but后是一个定语从句,由于该从句前没有平行的对象,所以在语法上不正确。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项:which has become precisely the opposite是定语从句,就近修饰名词the telephone。但这在逻辑上是不对的。因为真正变成相反的东西的应该是“收音机”。另外,不定式短语to be a tool for private conversation应改为介词短语as a tool for private conversation。这点考查了不定式和名词的区别。用之于本题,由于conceive的约束力较弱(as/to be a tool是宾语的补足语),所以身后应用名词(介词短语)。
E选项:other than what it is不是连词,不能连接两个句子。other than = except,是“除了…以外”的意思,而且是介词短语,other than应改为rather than,且rather than可做介词亦可做连词,意思为“而不是…”。
老师,C选项的it has become precisely the opposite 中的it,为何指代的是radio,而不是距离更近的tool 或是private conversation? 谢谢了
总而言之,that和which的用法很灵活。
首先,that和which最常见的用法是【紧跟被修饰的词】,当然一般情况下that是做限定性修饰;而which是做非限定性修饰,即which前头往往会有个【逗号】。
第二,that和which都可以跳跃指代,但是前提是that和which前面一定是【核心词+修饰词】这样的结构,that和which才能跳跃【修饰词】去修饰核心词。
第三,that和which一般都倾向于用在【裸奔名词】之后(也就是一个词,比如a book that... , a bike that.... book和bike都是单独的一个名词),撑死它们可以出现在【核心词+修饰词】这样的结构后,去跳跃指代【核心词】。但是,如果句尾出现意群,最好使用同位语而非that或which这样的指代词。(详情看OG12 Q63)
总算清晰了
棒!
