decrease in size和划线部分身后的less distinctive, and less in demand是平行的
rob和make是alter的两个并列的后果,两个并列是成分用and连接时,and身前不能有逗号
E. The habitat of black bears consists of terrain that is significantly more varied than that of the habitat of sloth bears.(与题干逻辑方向不符:变成加强,black bear领域更复杂都会自己走了,那么sloth bear领域更简单的,应该也会走了)
先不要用previously副词的位置去排除
A选项:尽管:despite... 或者 in spite of...,没有in despite of的用法
B选项:逗号后面直接是in spite of引导的介宾短语,其中又有一个fact的同位语。所以逗号后面的核心意思是:尽管有一个事实。但想和前文形成转折关系,直接写明“之前如何如何”更加合理,而不仅仅是“有一个事实”
D选项:“they featured”是修饰individuals的定语,所以后半句的核心意思是“然而之前那些个体是商业和政治领域的”。依旧与前句的转折不强烈。
D的which是修饰crop的,不是修饰sunflower的
if主将从现,
only if身后不用虚拟语气的原因是,虚拟语气通常表示的是“与客观事实相反或具有强烈语气”的情况,但是,本题中“非OPEC国家是削减产出”这件事并非是一个在客观上不可能发生的事情,所以不用虚拟语气。
but在此处是连词(如果是介词,其身后只能连接名词或者名词短语),其身后连接的是条件状语(only if)。但是,在but身前没有能和这个条件状语平行的其它状语,所以only if前的but是错误的,应该去掉
(1) 中国限制了出口业务。
(2) 中国的出口业务被限制了。
句(2)给人的感觉是:不是中国自己在限制出口业务,而是别的国家或个人在限制中国的出口业务。在本题的语意上,显然地,肯定是非OPEC国家先减产,然后OPEC国家才减产,即,限制产出的应该是非OPEC国家,而不是别人。应该写为:non-OPEC nations trim output。

C中说,质疑泰国的科技发展 文章并没有质疑科技本身的发展
两个选项一个用主动一个用被动时,关注被动的逻辑主语是否带上,是否有必要带上。
can,既可以描述主观可能性,也可以描述客观可能性。比如,可以说bird can fly, but you can't.
be able to,多用于人和有生物的能力,不用于描述客观事物的能力。 比如说,天能下雨也能下雪,it can rain and snow,但不能说,it is able to rain and snow。
be capable of可以同时描写人和物的能力,但多用于描写事物的能力。比如,the train is capable of carring 100 people.;I am capable of building up a plant for cars.有能力建立一个汽车工厂。
the ability to do sth,只能跟to do;the capability to do sth或of doing sth
(转)Point to discuss:
As per manhattanprep.c…-t7994-15.html
"what his father gave him are a few books."
Ron: "no, you would still write "is", because the subject of the verb is still what his father gave him, not a few books."
The subject here is “what is much more difficult to determine”
As per Manhattan SC guide this is called Sub Phrase and it is always singular.
large, integrated companies such as Bethlehem Steel (that) once conducted operations from mining at one end of the process to shipping at the other.companies在定语从句中作主语,that不可以省略。如果作宾语是可以省略的,如:I like the girl who stands there. I like the price you gave me.
while作连词,要么表示尽管,虽然;要么表示与……同时。这里“钢铁行业发生巨变”和“大公司关门”可以看成是同时发生的两件事,但用as表示“行业发生巨变,因为大公司关门了”,两件事的逻辑会被表达得更清晰。
free time中computer和TV的比较被偷换了总时间占比的比较。这题好容易找错前提和结论哦。。
在D和E之间纠结,最后判断如下:D, 红树林增加鱼数量,收入增加,是最直接的原因。E,文章是红树林减少导致海岸侵蚀,进而影响鱼的数量,再影响收入;而E选项说的是砍伐木头不影响海岸侵蚀,砍伐木头≠森林减少。
With可引导独立主格,但By后面应该跟名词
since it is difficult to collect the tortoises without a vehicle. 他都已经讲了没车就不太好抓就不要纠结到底是怎么抓了...这句话其实就是再告诉你一个问题解决了,这个项目是否成功取决于还有另一个问题是否能解决。
我这都能错选B我服了
attributed to 归因于,本身含有result 的意思
