题目分析:
本题的划线部分很长,而且意思较难看懂,这里先做一个翻译:
由于一个通过与1993年的法律(该法律内容为:美国公民以金条或金币的方式持有金子是一种犯法的行为),移民们发现,在他们到达美国的时候,他们必须要扔掉自己身上所有的金子。
选项分析:
A选项:本选项最大的错误在于make的真正宾语。语法上看起来是代词it,但实际上这是一个形式主语,指代身后的从句that a United States citizen hold gold in the form of bullion or coins。虽然在语法上正确,但这在逻辑上是错误的。这点考查了“不定式和从句的区别”。用之于本题,由于make的约束力很强,所以身后的宾语只能用不定式的形式(for sb. to do sth是不定式的复合结构)。
B选项:首先,with引导的短语可以理解为一个独立主格的形式,也可以表达和后半句的因果关系,这点没有错误。错误依然出现在make的宾语上,该错误同(A)。
C选项:本选项也可以理解为一个独立主格的形式,没有错误。但是,for a United States citizen holding gold应改为不定式的复合结构for a United States citizen to hold gold。这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题,由于make的约束力很强,所以身后的宾语只能用不定式的形式。
D选项:Correct.本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
E选项:being passed in 1933中的being突出了pass事件和found事件(主句)的同时性,但,这两个事件并不是同时发生的,而是法律先被通过,然后移民才会发现自己必须扔掉金子。因此,being必须删掉。
for a United States citizen to hold
a, b, c can all be eliminated because of improper idiomatic usage: the proper idiom is '...a crime for blah blah blah to hold...'
it形式宾语,后面用to do
A 项里making it ... 做状语,如果修饰后面的immigrants found that.. 不可能是immigrant让它变成了punishable, 如果修饰前面动词passed, 但这两个动作并没有关系,因为making it... 是修饰law, 但不是修饰pass....
错选B
because of+noun(一定是名词性质的noun 有的时候v-ing虽然是动名词但是还是表示的动词含义)
①a, b, c can all be eliminated because of improper idiomatic usage: the proper idiom is '...a crime for blah blah blah to hold...'
②choice e changes the meaning of the sentence: taken literally, it says that the immigrants found themselves in this unenviable situation not because of the law itself, but because of the passage of the law.
a law being passed
注意:有强烈的因果关系
AB利用a United States citizen hold主谓不一致可以排除
C 去掉law后面的修饰成分变成A law 与 immigrants两个名词,做同位语意思不对,双主语又是错的结构
E being passed修饰结构不优,且due to 一般跟在名词或者be动词后面 放句首相当于because of不对
the proper idiom is '...a crime for blah blah blah to hold...'
我记得好像有with引导做原因的情况,那b选项中 With a law passed .... 为啥不能做原因状语
AB选项hold主谓不一致。但是有的题解析不是说because of后面不能接复杂的成分吗。。。所以纠结了好久把D排掉了。。
'with' in choice b is also bad: it seems to imply that immigrants arrived with the law in their hands.
choice c implies that the immigrants themselves are 'a law passed in 19xx'
A 中making it a crime中it是形式宾语
C 同位语A law不能修饰主语immigrants
E being passed 正在被通过,错误
* estelle was afraid to move because of a spider sitting on the wall --> correct, because estelle is afraid because of the spider itself, not because of the spider's sitting on the wall.
* we laughed all day because of tony walking into the girls' bathroom --> incorrect, because the verb (walking into the bathroom) is the reason why we were laughing all day.
A making 伴随状语 逻辑主语 incorrect
B 独立主格 it 形式宾语 不能指代 ‘that a United States citizen hold’ -kick off A/B
C 独立主格 可以表示主从句因果关系 emphasize ‘a law passed in 1933’这件事 和 主句内容 逻辑语义上不make sense
D 优于 C 是因为 emphasize 'making it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen to hold‘这件事
E being同时性
A making 伴随状语 逻辑主语 incorrect
B that定语从句没有verb ( ...hold V+ed修饰)
C A law (passed in 1933)[that made it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a United States citizen holding...]同位语
语法发上正确 意思上不make sense
D because of + a law ...making 语义上emphasize 法律让带金子的公民行为犯法这件事而不是a law 本身
E being同时性 跟C一样emphasize ‘a law'本身
being突出同时性

看because of后面那么复杂就直接排除D了,,有毒
我也是。。。
Because of 后面并不是一个复杂成分,只是出题的人要迷惑大家,其实是 Because of + 名词 a law + 过去分词修饰 passed ......
