问题 It is an oversimplified view of cattle raising to say that all one has to do with cattle is leave them alone while they feed themselves, corral them, and to drive them to market when the time is ripe.

选项 A、all one has to do with cattle is leave them alone while they feed themselves, corral them, and to
B、all one has to do with cattle is to leave them alone to feed themselves, to corral them, and
C、all one has to do with cattle is leave them alone while they feed themselves and then corral them and
D、the only thing that has to be done with cattle is leave them alone while they feed themselves, corral them, and
E、the only thing that has to be done with cattle is to leave them alone while they feed themselves, to corral them, and

答案C

解析 本题同样是一组动词不定式的并列,根据“要省就全省,要补就全补”的原则,A、B、E都有问题。A中:leave和corral前无to,而最后一个drive前却有to。B中:leave与corral前有to,drive前却无to。E与B相类似。而C、D中却出现了一个大多数考生从未见过的现象,即isleave,coral,and drive的表达。在is和这些并列动词之间并无to,该选项显然与语法知识是相悖的,但C、D中的这种结构却满足了平行结构的并列要求,因此,需要冒险排除A、B、E,从C、D中挑一个最优的。C、D的差异在于C中主语是all one has to do with cattle,而D中的主语是the only thing that has to be done with cattle,相比较而言,前者简洁,用主动形式,后者笨拙,用被动语态,所以我们选C。这种省略方式是可以的。同样,请考生把此例背下来。
