题目分析:
略
选项分析:
A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B选项:介词短语as being major importance需改为不定式短语to be of major importance。这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题,由于变化部分是宾语部分,所以我们应根据其主句谓语动词的约束力来判断。显然地,acknowledge是看法类动词,且是被动语态,宾语部分需用不定式短语。
C选项:句首的after long years of indifferent reception by the scientific community(被科学团体所不接受的)修饰的是划线部分的主语。在逻辑上,能被科学团体所不接受的只能是某种工作(Barbara McClintock‘s subtle work),不能是it。
D选项:能被科学团体所不接受的只能是某种工作(Barbara McClintock‘s subtle work),而不能重要性(importance)。
E选项:本选项错误同(D)。
