_______ such heavy pollution already , the river is no longer what it used to be .And the City Council concludes that it may now be too late to clean it up .


  1. A.
    Having suffered
  2. B.
    Suffering
  3. C.
    To suffer
  4. D.
    Suffered
A
测试语言点 :动词的现在分词作为状语,表达因果关系的不同层次。
要吸取的经验 :
要依据上下文选词填空。上文: such heavy pollution already ,遭受如此严重污染 ,下文 : it may now be too late to clean up the river .结果清理河道为时已晚。不过,这里是下文决定上文;既然清理河道为时已晚,那么其原因必然是“已经”严重污染到不可挽回的地步了。所以,选B. Suffering表示现在正在受到污染,其层次不够,C. To suffer表示目的,D. Suffered仅仅可作谓语,都不对。
※ 此题有语病。按照“托福考试”(TOEFL)要求,应视为“修饰语不合逻辑”(Illogical modifiers)。

这个句子是1994年1月“托福考试”第32题,与上述错误相似。Judging to be the best boxer of his time , Sugar Ray Robinson lost only 3 out of 137 fights.
ABCD

Uganda is a country in East Africa and,as in many such countries,a high percentage of the population,about 80 percent,are village-dwellers living in huts,which are often no bigger than a garage. The walls of the huts are made of mud,which is held together by reeds and sticks,and the roofs of the older ones are thatched(覆盖)with grass,although an increasing number of newer village houses have roofs made from corrugated(波纹形的)iron.
Several generations of the same family live together in the huts,which are usually divided into two sections by a curtain. The inner section,the one furthest from the open door of the hut,is where everyone sleeps and food is prepared and served in the outer part. If the family owns chickens or goats,they are kept in a small room attached to the main house.
Food is usually prepared on open fires although some people prefer to cook inside. However,this is quite dangerous and also means that the walls of the hut are stained by smoke and the atmosphere is acrid. The family sit in a circle on mats while they eat.
Newer village houses are almost always made of corrugated iron and are bigger,with one or two separate bedrooms and the kitchen in a smaller building beside the main house. But,old or new,the houses are not powered by electricity,and all homes are lit by paraffin(石蜡)candles called “tadobba”.
Nor is there any running water in the houses. Some villages have their own well,but in many cases,collecting water involves a long and arduous walk to a river or spring,carrying plastic containers or pots made of clay.
Children are the ones who have to fetch water,and they have to do this early in the morning before they go to school,or in the evening when they come home. They often have to climb high hills or walk through valleys with narrow paths through dense vegetation. It is no surprise that they grow up muscular and fit after such daily exercise,walking for several kilometres carrying such heavy weights.
