Question

【题目】It was human errors, rather than the natural disaster, ________ for the death of so many innocent people in the landslide at an industrial park in Shenzhen.

A. which is blamed B. that is to blame

C. which are blamed D. that are to blame

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】考查强调句式和固定短语。句意：在深圳的一个工业园区发生山体滑坡，造成许多无辜者死亡是人为的错误，而不是自然灾害。这是一个强调句：It is/was+强调部分+that+其它，强调human errors rather than the natural disaster，故首先要用that；谓语动词部分，首先有固定短语：be to blame（应该受责备），另外，主语是human errors rather than the natural disaster（人类的错误而不是自然灾害），因为由rather than（而不是）连接的主语与前一部分一致，所以要用are，故选D。
