问题 In December of 1987 an automobile manufacturer pleaded no contest to criminal charges of odometer tampering and agreed to pay more than $16 million in civil damages for cars that were test-driven with their odometers disconnected.

选项 A、cars that were test-driven with their odometers disconnected
B、cars that it had test-driven with disconnected odometers
C、its cars having been test-driven with disconnected odometers
D、having test-driven cars with their odometers disconnected
E、having cars that were test-driven with disconnected odometers

答案 D

解析 test—driven是形容词,本可直接修饰cars,因此,A、E中,用that从句修饰cars使得表达不够简洁,同时使cars和with短语的紧密关系被分裂开来。C中,现在分词的完成式不能作名词的修饰成分(可查阅第七章内容),因而C错。B的意思是“为那些车支付$16 million”,逻辑不通。而原句意为:他(这个制造商)使本应带有数码表的测试车与其数码表分离,为此行为,他需支付$16 million;D中的have sth.done结构表达了此意,for表原因。
