问题 The winds that howl across the Great Plain not only blow away valuable topsoil, thereby reducing the potential crop yield of a tract of land, and also damage or destroy young plants.
选项 A、and also damage or destroy
B、as well as damaging or destroying
C、but they also cause damage or destroy
D、but also damage or destroy
E、but also causing damage or destroying
答案 D
解析 由句子前面出的not only，我们可迅速判断划线中and also的表达与not only是不符合搭配的，因此立刻排除A、B。C中有两个错误：(1)but also中不应插入they(they在此属重复)；(2)cause damage or destroy光从表达上看没有太大错误，但若代回原句，就会发现该并列谓语与后面的宾语young plants不能搭配。因为cause damage young plants是不对的，此处damage是名词，后面应补上to，即cause damage to young plants才算正确表达。对于D、E之间的选择，我们根据形式一致原则，由not only后跟动词blow，可推断出but also也应跟动词原形，故选D。该句中thereby reducing短语是主要动词blow的伴随结果，not only．．．but also是主要谓语动词的并列而不要误以为是伴随结果的并列。
