题目分析:
略
选项分析:
A选项:本选项是非限定性定语从句。由于定语和状语均具有就近修饰原则,所以该定语从句修饰名词another planet。但在逻辑上,展现了月球的情况的应该是“照片”,而不是“另一个行星”。
B选项:定语从句错误同(A);like是介词而不是连词,身后不能直接添加句子。
C选项:定语从句错误同(A);such as措辞有误,火星和月亮应该是类比关系,而不是举例关系。
D选项:不定式短语the Martian surface to be that of the Moon's, dry and apparently dead需改为从句或名词短语,例如a dry, apparently dead Martian surface。这点考查了不定式和名词的区别。用之于本题,由于变化成分是show的宾语部分,因此应该由show的约束力判断。显然地,show的约束力较弱,应该用名词或从句作宾语。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
关于which跳跃修饰补充一句:
如果在语义上没有明显歧义,请不要把跳跃修饰作为排除理由!!只要有符合逻辑的修饰对象,原则上都可以。
在这题里面:
it's obvious that "photographs" is the intended meaning. So, no problem.
If there were a genuine ambiguity here, then you'd have a point.
E.g.,
A close friend of Mr. Smith, who was seen walking in downtown Gainesville, ...
Here, it's genuinely impossible to tell whether the person walking in downtown Gainesville was Mr. Smith or his friend. So here you've got a problem. But, if the meaning is obvious, "ambiguity" is not an issue.
