考题讲解

题目分析:

本题的主干为:
Although improved efficiency may reduce harvest rates, it will stimulate demand. 


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:主句demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply and lowering prices是被动语态,没有指明谁是在逻辑上发出stimulate这一动作的人。我们可以将其近似写为:
X will stimulate demand by increasing supply and lowering prices
在逻辑上,although所引导的句子的内容是:“上升的效率会减少收获比率(坏事)”,如果想和该句形成转折,必须说明一个“上升的效率带来的好事”,而不是“某个原因带来的好事”, 因此,只有当improved efficiency能带来好事时,stimulate句才能和reduce句形成转折关系。

C选项:which boosts consumption是非限定性定语从句,修饰单数名词。真正发出“上升消费”的是improved efficiency,虽然是单数,但是距离这个定语从句太远,无法满足就近修饰原则。

D选项:improved efficiency的定语 of harvested trees being converted into wood products的核心词为harvested trees。上升了效率的应该是“转换(convert)”这个行为,而不是“树”。

E选项:主句demand will be stimulated because of increasing supply and lowering prices被动语态错误同(B)。
