问题 6 Except for a concert performance that the composer himself staged in 1911, Scott Joplin’s ragtime opera Treemonisha was not produced until 1972, sixty-one years after its completion.

选项 A、Except for a concert performance that the composer himself staged
B、Except for a concert performance with the composer himself staging it
C、Besides a concert performance being staged by the composer himself
D、Excepting a concert performance that the composer himself staged
E、With the exception of a concert performance with the staging done by the composer himself

答案 A

解析 B、E中performance之后的with短语与performance的关系模糊不清,表达笨拙,句意含糊。C中有两个缺陷:(1)besides刚好弄反了句意,原意是指“不包括a concert performance在内”,而besides却改为“包括a concert performance在内”;(2)being staged给人产生的感觉是“正在演出”,而原句并无强调“正在演出”之意。A、D的比较主要在于except for和excepting的细微区别:excepting相当于except,是介词,其排除在范围之外的内容应与主句所涉及的内容是同一类物体;而except for刚好相反,其排除在范围之外的内容与主句所涉及的内容可以是不一致的。此处:a concert performance与ragtime opera显然不属于同一类,因而选用except for而不是excepting。
