一道很难的英语选择题

来源:百度知道 编辑:UC知道 时间:2024/05/16 08:01:54
选择替换第一个逗号以后的部分:

题干:
Following a year of fast development, by the first quarter of this year, China has had about 1,100 e-commerce websites.

选项:
A. China had about 1,1oo e-commerce websites by the end of last March
B. by the end of the first quarter of this year, China has had about 1,100 e-commerce websites
C. by the end of this recent past March, China has about 1,100 e-commerce websites
D. by the end of this first quarter, China had about 1,100 or so e-commerce websites

请告诉我选项并讲解一下为什么选这个,我主要是不明白by的用法,非常感谢!!

应该选A,因为已经有了第一句following....,逗号后要跟主语,而'by the first quarter of this year' 是时间状语,不能在这种情况下作为‘插入语’放在句子中间,'following....后停顿,要连接主语,所以后三个一下就淘汰了。A选项表达同样的时间,同时也是比较简炼的表达方式。 题干是典型的中文式表达方法,你可以试着翻译下来读,而在英文中,时间状语通常放在句末,也可放于句首,该句因为有了状语following...,所以从语法角度讲不可以把时间状语插在句中。

by的用法,在这里是固定搭配'by the end of'表示‘截止...;到...为止’。

希望对你有帮助。

by the first quarter of this year----到今年第一季度为止

选c

B
by the first quarter of this year.=by the end of the
first quarter of this year.意为:到今年的第一季度为止,即是1月1号到3月31号。

答案是 B
BY THE ENG 是固定句型 需要现在完成时
