问题 For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788, England exiled some 160,000 criminals to Australia.

选项 A、For almost a hundred years after having its beginning in 1788,
B、Beginning in 1788 for a period of a hundred years,
C、Beginning a period of almost a hundred years, in 1788,
D、During a hundred years, a period beginning in 1788,
E、Over a period of a hundred years beginning in 1788,

答案E

解析 A:for almost a hundred years的表达可以接受,但having its beginning的用法不对;同时its指代有问题,因为它只能指England,但这在逻辑上说不通。B、C:根据分词短语beginning在句首,可判断其逻辑主语应是England,同样,逻辑不通(无论是“英国开始于1788”或“英国开始了一个100年的时期”都不符合句意)。D:during一般与一具体时段连用,如前面例题中所出现的during the late 1950’s,during the first decade,而本句中的a hundredyears是一模糊时段,两者搭配不妥。而over之后可跟一模糊时段或一具体时段。本句中:over a period符合表达习惯,of a hundred years和beginning in 1788对a period做补充修饰,划线部分是一个完美的时间状语短语。
