考题讲解

题目分析:
(A)(B)两个选项相当于在语法上省略了谓语动词order身后的宾语从句引导词that;(C)中preparing lists of suspected criminals in their communities是ing短语;(D)中the preparing of a list of suspected criminals in their communities是名词短语;(E)中to prepare lists of suspected criminals in their communities是不定式短语。后三个选项的prepare事件均为宾语的补足语

选项分析:

A选项:英语语法规定,当谓语动词的意思是“建议、命令、要求”时,由于身后的从句中的谓语动词必须用原型(通常需要省略should)。另外,实际上,就算是用正确的宾语从句也是不完全对的,应改为不定式短语to prepare,这点考查了不定式和从句的区别。用之于本题,由于宾语的选择由谓语动词的约束力决定,所以应判断order的约束力如何。显然地,该动词约束力较强,宾语部分应用不定式来表达。

B选项:本选项错误同(A)。

C选项:ing短语preparing lists of suspected criminals in their communities需改为不定式短语to prepare lists of suspected criminals in their communities。这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题,由于prepare事件是宾语的补足语,所以应根据其主句谓语动词的约束力来确定prepare的形式。显然地,order的约束力较强,应该用不定式短语作其宾补。

D选项:名词短语preparing lists of suspected criminals in their communities需改为不定式短语to prepare lists of suspected criminals in their communities。这点考查了不定式和名词的区别。该错误类似于选项(C)。

E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
