问题 Although the Supreme courts ruled as long ago as 1880 that Blacks could not be excluded outright from jury service, nearly a century of case-by-case adjudication has been necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be drawn from a fair cross section of the community.

选项 A、has been necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be
B、was necessary for developing and enforcing the principle of all juries being
C、was to be necessary in developing and enforce the principle of all juries to be
D、is necessary to develop and enforce the principle that all juries must be
E、will be necessary for developing and enforcing the principle of all juries being

答案A

解析 该句的主语是nearly a century,这种用法是可以的。为了帮助理解:再举一来自TOEFL的填空题为例:The last half of the nineteen century witnessed the steady improvement of themeans of travel.又如E5-22中的the end of the eighteen century作主语。根据从句中的as longago as 1880及句子意思,可判断主句中的nearly a century这个时段是指从1880起说话时的一个时段,而在此时段的动作应该是用现在完成时。B、C、D、E中的was、is、will都是不对的。同时,B、C、E的principle之后都用of短语替换了原来that从句。根据本篇第一章第五点的(3)条原则判断,这些表达都不如用that从句作同位语,因为只有采用that从句才能准确表达原意。
