问题 With its plan to develop seven and a half acres of shore land, Cleveland is but one of a large number of communities on the Great Lakes that is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.
选项 A、is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract
B、is looking at its waterfront to improve the quality of urban life and attract
C、are looking to their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and attract
D、are looking to its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting
E、are looking at their waterfronts as a way they can improve the quality of urban life and attract
答案 C
解析 题干中的but在此作副词，可译为“只不过”(与only比较一下)。根据前述的第11条中的第(2)点，可知此题that指代communities而不是but one，因而A、B在that从句中用is是错误的；D中虽是用are作谓语，但其中的its water fronts显然与that所指代的communities在指代上不相配，D错；在C、E之间做选择涉及对短语look to与look at的区分，前者一般是：lookto sth．to do sth．译为“指望…做…”，而后者look at sth．译为“看…”，根据题意，应该选用look to(指望这些滨水区能提高城市生活质量和吸引新的生意)，因而E错；C在that从句中用了are，正确使用了look to结构，在attract之前省略了to(与to improve并列)，并省去了多余的as a way。在考试现场，如不知look to的用法，我们仍可用其他缺陷排除E：as a way后的they指代含糊不清，从语法上讲倾向于指代communities而不是water fronts。
