B thansmits to
C for transmission
D the transmitting
Answer: A

Answer 1

根据网上提供的2000年全国攻读硕士研究生入学考试英语预测试卷(四)的第
21题,(内容是The concept of television,the transmission of images over distances,had s cientists even before the invention of moving pictures or radio.
〔A〕intrigued 〔B〕aroused 〔C〕provoked 〔D〕stimulated)能看出这两个句子是一句话,只是考察的知识点不同.
因此The concept of television后应该加一标点,这样更容易理解也更准确.
The concept of television,the transmission of
images over distances,had intrigued scientists even before the invention of moving pictures or radio.
备选部分作主语的同位语,谓语是had往后的部分.
本句话的意思应该是：电视的理念（即远距离传诵图片）,远在电影和收音机发明之前就已经引起科学家的兴趣.
以上为个人的意见,还请大家一起讨论.
