问题 Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Bela Bartok and Zooltan Kodaly began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only with an Edison phonograph and insatiable curiosity.

选项 A、Traveling the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Bela Bartok and Zooltan Kodaly began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were armed only
B、In 1905, Bela Bartok and Zooltan Kodaly, traveling the back roads of Hungary, began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, and they were only armed
C、In 1905, Bela Barotok and Zooltan Kodaly began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary armed only
D、Having traveled the back roads of Hungary, in 1905 Bela Bartok and Zooltan Kodaly began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology; they were only armed
E、Bela Bartok and Zooltan Kodaly, in 1905 began their pioneering work in ethnomusicology, traveling the back roads of Hungary, arming themselves only

答案C

解析 由省略部分的内容可以断定A、B表这不够简洁,因为and前后主语均为BelaBartok and Zooltan Kodaly,they可以省去。D中从句子结构看:分号前后两个分句一般表示并列关系,对比关系或后句作前句解释,而D选项中前后两项的关系极不明确;更为重要的是原句意是:travel是作为主要动作begin的伴随动作,而在D选项中begin却成为了travels之后的动作,句子重心发生转移。E中有两个明显错误:(1)主语与谓语began之间在无插入语的情况下被用逗号隔开,这是绝对不能允许的;(2)采用现在分词arming形式,使句意无法理解(arm作动词是“装备”的意思,一般都用被动形式)。C正确。traveling和armed两个分词短语分别作为began伴随状况,说明“他们在开始先驱性工作的同时,仅仅是带着一个留声机和好奇心在匈牙利旅行”。但该句结构较特殊,armed之前省了一个and,使得很多考生不敢选C。新概念英语第四册中有类似句子:Alfred the Great acted as his own spy,visiting Danish camps disguised as a minstrel.本题还可采用only的用法来解题,即根据only的位置不能移动原则(查阅第11章中only的用法),即可排除B、D、E。而在A、C中,由于A中的they重复,就可以很容易的确定C为正确答案而无需弄懂复杂结构。
