问题 The brain is something of a stimulus-reduction system, a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount of stimuli that reach the senses at any given moment.
选项 A、a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount
B、a means to reduce, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite number
C、the means of reducing for comprehending the nearly infinite number
D、the means that reduces, in order to comprehend, the nearly infinite amount
E、the means for reducing in order to comprehend the nearly infinite amount
答案B
解析 由于stimuli是stimulus的复数形式，A、D、E中用amount来修饰就不恰当，应换用number，B、C比较，再由means之后一般用动词不定式修饰，排除C，选出正确答案B。值得解释的是，本句中in order to是对reduce的修饰，表示reduce的目的，之所以放在此处以插入形式出现，是因为若把in order to comprehended放在句末，会让人误认为它是句末that从句中reach的目的状语，因而改变了句意。
