问题 Selling several hundred thousand copies in six months, the publication of "Maple Leaf Rag" in 1899 was an instant hit, helping to establish Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer.
选项 A、Selling several hundred thousand copies in six months, the publication of "Maple Leaf Rag" in 1899 was an instant hit, helping to establish Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer.
B、The publication in 1899 of "Maple Leaf Rag" was an instant hit; in six months they sold several hundred thousand copies and it helped establish Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer.
C、Helping to establish Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer was the publication of "Maple leaf Rag" in 1899, which was an instant hit; it sold several hundred thousand copies in six months.
D、Maple Leaf Rag was an instant hit; it helped establish Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer, published in 1898 and selling several hundred thousand copies in six months.
E、Published in 1899, "Maple Leaf Rag" was an instant hit, selling several hundred thousand copies in six months; it helped established Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer.
答案 E
解析 A中有两个错误：(1)主语the publication与表语an instant hit在逻辑上不搭配；因为“出版是畅销作品”逻辑不通；(2)同时selling的逻辑主语应是Maple Leaf Ray，但其语法主语却是the publication，两者不一致。B也有两个缺陷，(1)同A(1)；(2)they没有指代物。C中，(1)我们在前面已提到过，动名词作主语表示一个持续性的、习惯性动作，而此处是一特定动作，用动名词作主语是不恰当的；(2)帮助该作者成名的不是“出版”，而是“该作品”，而本选项首句的句意就是说使其成名的是出版the publication。D中published与selling短语离其修饰成分Maple LeafRag太远，以致会导致修饰关系混淆。而E正确表明了句意：用published in 1899年，表明了出版时间，而selling短语是对主句的伴随结果；分号之后内容与前一句并列。
