问题 Scientists have observed large concentrations of heavy-metal deposits in the upper twenty centimeters of Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there.
选项 A、Baltic Sea sediments, which are consistent with the growth of industrial activity there
B、Baltic Sea sediments, where the growth of industrial activity is consistent with these findings
C、Baltic Sea sediments, findings consistent with its growth of industrial activity
D、Sediments from the Baltic Sea, findings consistent with the growth of industrial activity in the area
E、sediments from the Baltic Sea, consistent with the growth of industrial activity there
答案 D
解析 由于C、D中findings的出现，提示考生原句的含意是：从波罗的海沉积物的最上层20公分处发现了大量的重金属沉积，这个发现与此地的工业活动的成长是一致的。在此句意上，可对选项进行排除：A中which指代sediment．而显然“沉积物与工业活动的成长是一致的”的逻辑搭配不通。B中where在此处是不明确的，其前面的Baltic Sea sediments决定了where不能指代“在波罗的海地区”(原句想表达的含意)。C中出现了一个致命的错误：its指代不清，因为其前面的名词均为复数形式，而若它指代前面作修饰成分的Baltic Sea，从语法角度上讲是错的，(查阅代词指代的相关部分：不能指代定语成分暗示的名词)逻辑上也讲不通。E中：句末逗号后跟一形容词短语，从语法功能上讲，该短语仅能修饰sediments或Baltic Sea，但这两者均不能与the growth of industrial activity搭配，同时there指代不准确。D中，findings指前句observe之后的所有部分。
