高考试题:超长句中,in which还是in what,如何判断?

 凌哥英语 2023-10-23 发布于浙江

微友:凌哥,你好。想问一下这个题中你觉得横线中应该填什么:

In June, 2020, the Zhejiang University Cultural Relics Research Institute and Yungang Grottoes Research Institute together "copied and pasted" Cave No. 12 of the Yungang Grottoes for an exhibition in Hangzhou, in _______ is the world's first 3D-printed 1:1 "copy" of a grotto.

凌哥:填"what"。

微友:谢谢凌哥。请问这个in在这里表达的是什么呢?从语法上我能够理解填what,但是我想不通这个in。还有人跟我讲填which 。说是定从用了倒装,为了强调地点状语。我就更晕了

凌哥:what ...结构相当于一个名词,比如:What he bought yesterday / was / only a small apartment.更接近于您的提问的例子:After the terrible earthquake, they had to stay in (what was once a bus station).

用指代法来说明不能填which:如果视作定语从句填入which,那么which的指代只能是下面三个之一:Cave No. 12, an exhibition, 或者Hangzhou。

从词组Cave No. 12 of the Yungang Grottoes可知,cave(洞龛)属于grotto(石窟),或者说cave位于grotto之内。据此,(in a cave) is a grotto是反过来了:一个石窟在一个洞龛中。

(in an exhibition of a cave) is a grotto和上面一样,变成了“石窟在展出的洞龛中)。

而(in Hangzhou) is a grotto本身尽管逻辑上不存在问题,但是显然不是作者想要表达的“展出的洞龛是设在一个等比例模拟的石窟中的”。

解题的关键是要能将复杂的句子简化成核心语句:They made/copied "a cave" for an exhibition in ______ is a fake "grotto". 

微友:终于懂了!谢谢凌哥!
