65. Digging in sediments in northern China, evidence has been gathered by scientists suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than they had previously thought.
(A) evidence has been gathered by scientists suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than they had
(B) evidence gathered by scientists suggests a much earlier emergence of complex life-forms than had been
(C) scientists have gathered evidence suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than
(D) scientists have gathered evidence that suggests a much earlier emergence of complex life-forms than that which was
(E) scientists have gathered evidence which suggests a much earlier emergence of complex life-forms than that
答案解析如下:
(A)evidence has been gathered by scientists suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than they had
【错误】 修饰成分:“Digging in sediments in northern China”应当是“scientists”发出的动作,但根据语法要求,它必须是其后跟随的主谓结构“evidence has been gathered”的状语,修饰的是“has been gathered”,逻辑主语是“evidence”,语义明显不合理。
(B)evidence gathered by scientists suggests a much earlier emergence of complex life-forms than had been
【错误】 修饰成分:见(A)。
(C)scientists have gathered evidence suggesting that complex life-forms emerged much earlier than
【正确】 “that”引导的从句“complex life-forms emerged much earlier than previously thought”是“suggesting”的宾语,准确叙述了“evidence”的具体内容。
【大意】 在北中国挖掘沉积物的时候,科学家发现了证据暗示着复杂生命形式出现得比之前认为的还早。
(D)scientists have gathered evidence that suggests a much earlier emergence of complex life-forms than that which was
【错误1】 句子意思:“evidence”暗示的内容应是“复杂生命形式出现的比之前认为的更早”,而不是“emergence”本身,因此(D)表意逊于(C)使用“complex life-forms emerged much earlier than previously thought”。
【错误2】 固定搭配:不存在用“which”引导的定语从句修饰代词“that”的用法。
(E)scientists have gathered evidence which suggests a much earlier emergence of complex life-forms than that
【错误】 句子意思:见(D)中。【错误1】
【最优解题思路推荐】
“evidence”无法发出“digging”的动作,立即排除(A)、(B),科学家收集到的证据暗示的是“复杂生命形式出现的比之前认为的更早”这件事,既然是一件事,那么用主谓结构表述语义更加,(C)优于(D)、(E),因此选择(C)。
