问题 Scientists have recently discovered what could be the largest and oldest living organism on Earth, a giant fungus that is an interwoven filigree of mushrooms and rootlike tentacles spawned by a single fertilized spore some 10,000 years ago and extending for more than 30 acres in the soil of a Michigan forest.

选项 A、extending
B、extends
C、extended
D、it extended
E、it extending

答案A

解析 首先排除D、E,因为在逗号之后的内容都对the living organism进行修饰,it extended(extending)找不到与其相平行的部分,而A、B、C都可以找到与其相平行的部分;A、C与spawned相平行,共同修饰tentacles;而B则是与is并列,共同修饰fungus。本题解题关键在于回到句中从逻辑上理解:究竟划线部分应修饰哪个词。从逻辑上分析,应修饰tentacles,应该是“触须延伸”而不是“真菌延伸”,后者是讲不通的,而延伸肯定是一个主动动作。因此C用过去分词错,应用A:extending。
