一道专四选择题,求详细解释!检举 | 2012-3-11 23:22 Q歌之王 | 5 | 浏览次数：23次
Land belongs to the city; there is____thing as private ownership of land.
A.no such a B.not such C.not such a D.no such
答案是D,我是想问为什么选D不选A呢?求高手详细解释.
答：一楼已经答正确了.可惜楼主不相信.
译：土地是属于城市,没有私人所有这一回事.
析：本题主要考查no和not的区别,such只是一个干扰点.
因为平时见多了：such a good teacher,such a thing,而thing是一个可数名词,所以很多人一开始就会排除BD!
却不知道no这个词=not a (后跟可数名词单数时）如：I have no mouth.= I have not a mouth.
no= not any (后跟可数名词复数时）如：I have no feet= I have not any feet.
no=not any (后跟不可数名词时）,如：I have no water =I have not any water.
注：前两个例句出自英语谜语clock一文.
所以用了no之后就不能再跟a或any,要排除A.选D 或C.
评：可能是抄错了C项,也可能是出错了题目,本题有两个正确选项C和D.
经网络搜索,发现确实有不少冠名专四英语考试题是这四个选项,但也有：
英语专四考试语法与词汇模拟练习题（七）-英语听力|英语口语|商务英语
Land belongs to the city；there is thing as private ownership of land.
A.no such a B.not such C.not such any D.no such.
这样的改过的题目.
及：上海市十校2010届高三下学期考前最后一次联考英语试卷
29.Until recently,land in large area of Sto belonged either to the crown or to the city; there was _____ thing as private ownership of land.
A.no such a B.no such C.not such D.not any
看来专四这道题设计上有问题.
另外提供两个证明D是正确的实例：
First Administration of New Zealand — 1845–1853.

individual had a right to sell what was the common property of the tribe.The great ...
Before the 19th century there was almost no such thing as private ownership of
land in large parts of Stockholm.The lands belonged either to the crown or to the ...
可以看出,上海的那题改自后一个例子.
