Which修饰:Crime has recently decreased in our neighborhood, WHICH has led to a rise in property values.在这里,which根据就近修饰原则,应该修饰前面的neighborhood,但语义上,不可能是neighborhood led to a rise in property values.
Ving修饰:Crime has recently decreased in our neighborhood, leading to a rise in property values.这句话里,把原来的which修饰替换成了ving(leading)修饰,修饰前面一整件事情,作为结果状语,语义正确。
总结:v+ing 的用法非常灵活,可以直接谓语部分,也可以修饰逻辑主语,甚至可以修饰整个句子。还可根据具体的语义不同,作不同的成分,例如“作伴随状语”或“作结果状语”等等。
例1:Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.
A. a greater proportion than it was
B. a greater proportion than
C. a greater proportion than they have been
D. which is greater than was so (B)
E. which is greater than it has been
题目释义:Soaring television costs accounted for … half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than in any previous election.
Soaring television costs主语,accounted for谓语,a greater proportion为同位语,修饰前面整个名词短语。
考点:
指代一致(Agreement)
1. which就近指代名词,不能指代完整的一句话;
2. it在文中,会继承被指代对象的特性,业即本文中,it 如果指代 a great proportion或者 the spending ,都继承了a great proportion或者 the spending 发生在presidential campaign of 1992的特性,造成比较的逻辑关系错误,要引以注意。
3. 比较对象的内容,时态关系,逻辑含义均要对等。
选项分析:
(A) it指代的是a greater proportion整个短语,错误,应该用that来指代proportion,但是因为只是名词短语的比较,that可以省略而不带任何歧义。
(B) Correct;原句补完整:Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than(the proportion)(television costs had accounted for of the spending)in any previous election;这个句子中只是单个名词(proportion)的比较,所以不需要考虑than后面补出主谓,只补出介词短语就够了,不用担心后面的介词短语in any previou election没有平行对象
(C) 现在完成时使用错误,in any previous election说明应用过去完成时;they指代soaring television costs,使逻辑意义错误,比较结构需要比较对象对等,前者为a great proportion 是一个量词不能和具体的费用对比,而且其他的election不一定是soaring的;同时have been与前面的accounted for不平行,只要也要用have done。
(D) Which不能指代前面整个idea;so用于省略重复的动作,使用错误。
(E) Which不能指代前面整个idea;it指代不清,且has been时态与后面的in any previous election不符。
例2:
Both weakened by concern about the government's agreement with the International Monetary Fund and by growing fears of a rise in inflation, the country's currency continued its slide to a record low against the dollar, which forced the central bank to intervene for the fourth time in a week.
(A) Both weakened by concern about the government's agreement with the International Monetary Fund and by growing fears of a rise in inflation, the country's currency continued its slide to a record low against the dollar, which forced
(B) Both concern about the government's agreement with the International Monetary Fund and the growing fears of a rise in inflation weakened the country's currency, continuing its slide to a record low against the dollar, which forced
(C) Both because it was weakened by concern about the government's agreement with the International Monetary Fund and by growing fears of a raise in inflation, the country's currency continued its slide to a record low against the dollar, forcing
(D) The country's currency, weakened both by concern about the government's agreement with the International Monetary Fund and by growing fears of a rise in inflation, continued its slide to a record low against the dollar, forcing
(E) The country's currency, weakened by both concern about the government's agreement with the International Monetary Fund and growing fears of a raise in inflation, continued its slide to a record low against the dollar, which forced
考点: 平行对称(Parallelism) 有效用词(Diction)
1) which不能指代前面整个句子
2) both…and…结构一定要平行
(A) which不能指代句子;both…and 连接对象不平行,weaken by…与by…,应为weakened both by… and by…
(B) Both concern about the government’s agreement…and the growing结构不平行,应该改为 concern both about the government’s agreement… and the growing; 整个句子缺乏主语; 该句用了 both…and连接的并列名词短语concern与the growing fears作主语,谓语为weakened,分词结构 continuing…修饰对象有歧义;which不能指代整个句子
(C) both because…and by结构不平行,可以改为both because…and because
(D) 正确, both by…and by…结构平行; 使用伴随状语结构forcing the central bank…正确的表现了continued its slide…这个事件的伴随结果.
(E) which使用错误.
句子结构: …currency, weakened both by concern about…and by growing fears of…, continued…,forcing…
