单选题
Weather ______, the morning activity will be a hike in the mountains or, for those who are interested in fine art, a visit to the museum.
- (A) permit
- (B) permitted
- (C) permits
- (D) permitting
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[理由] 原句原为:
Weather permits, the morning activity will be a hike...(×)
但如此一来“Weather permits…”与“the morning activity will be a hike.”皆为句子,但两句间并无连接词连接,故应改正如下:
If weather permits, the morning activity will be a hike...(√)
若不使用if作连接词,则应将第一个句子化简为分词短语,原则如下:
1) 若两个句子的主语相同时,须删除第一个句子的主语;若两个句子的主语不同时,则主语须保留。
2) 动词变现在分词。
3) 若该动词为be动词,变成现在分词being后,可予以省略。
[例] You've done your work, you may leave any time.(×,两句间无连接词)
→Having done your work, you may leave any time.(√)
(你工作已经做完了,你随时都可以离开。)
My job was done, I was very happy.
(×,两句间并无连接词连接)
→My job (being)done, I was very happy.(√)
(我工作做完了,我很高兴。)
*第一句主语My job与第二句主语I不同,故不可省略。
根据上述,原句中第一个句中的主语Weather与第二句中的主语the morning activity不同,故Weather须保留,之后的动词permits改为现在分词permitting,因此(D)应为正选。
