问题 Indeed, it is arguable that body shattering is the very point of football, as killing and maiming______. (2018-16)

选项 A、war
B、are war
C、of war
D、are of war

答案 D

解析 比较结构的省略。根据句意,本句的完整结构为:Indeed,it is arguable that body shattering is the very point of football,as killing and maiming are the very point of war.我们知道,当主句主语和as-分句主语不同而比较项目相同时,as-分句总是有所省略,如:John behaves as politely as Bob(does).但是,如果两个主语相同而比较项目不同(如:The girl is as brilliant as she is beautiful.),或者,两个主语和两个比较项目都不同(如:His uncle was as base as his father had been upright.),as-分句便不能使用省略句,而必须使用“完全句”(即包括至少一个完整的主谓结构的句子)。由此,此处主句主语body shattering和as-分句中主语killing and maiming不同,比较对象也不同,分别为the very point of football 和the very point of war,故不能省略as-分句中的谓语动词are。此外,如果两个并列名词词组的中心词相同,而后置修饰语不同,可以通过省略而形成两个后置修饰语共享一个中心词的现象,如Ambition is the mother of destruction as well as (the mother)of evil.于是此句as-分句中的the very point可以省略,后置修饰语of war保留,与of football共享中心词the very point。故本题答案为D。
