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。
