B,cameras can capture material at a degree of fidelity like the degree with film, with改成of,这里要把省略部分补足成the degree of film,不是the degree with that film can capture material,因为电影不会捕捉高精度物质,是相机捕捉了高精度物质后呈现在电影里,是电影的高精度

结合最后作者给出explanation可知,extinct carnivores的牙齿碎裂比present-day carnivores的牙齿碎裂更加频繁,是因为行为不同导致,而行为不同的背后原因是以前猎物少捕食者多(either that prey availability was low, at least seasonally, or that there was intense competition over kills and a high rate of carcass theft due to relatively high predator densities.)

如:They may be wanting to know when you leave for home.
They ruled out local bias because breakage data obtained from other Pleistocene sites were similar to the La Brea data.

1、时态:第一个that:自由贸易鼓励了……,这是一个客观现象,只要自由贸易这个东西存在,它天然地包含鼓励各国投资自由流动的属性,故它鼓励工业迁移到环保管理不严格的国家是它自带属性的结果,用一般现在时;第二个that:富有国家加入了这个下滑,这是有时间性的,是现在加入还是过去、未来加入?have done强调影响及下滑持续到现在
2、for的用法
(1)do sth for sb,为某人做某事,He's waiting for the bus. I do this for you.

一些发展中国家的个体公司提高了生产力但是把工资压得很低(工资受到这个国的平均生产力的影响)
And although in the past a few countries have deliberately kept their currencies undervalued, that is now much harder to do in a world where capital moves more freely.
尽管在过去一些国家刻意得压低了货币,这种做法在如今资本流动更自由的环境之下越来越难了。
主旨题:reevaluate a traditional idea -Many people believe that because wages are lower in developing countries than in developed countries, competition from developing countries in goods traded internationally will soon eliminate large numbers of jobs in developed countries
许多人相信因为发展中国家的工资更低,来自发展中国家的贸易竞争很快会拿走发达国家的大量工作岗位
直接细节题:
but are the result of changes in Algonquian society brought about by the European-Algonquian fur trade
由A人和欧洲人的fur trade所带来的社会变革的结果,changes的定语就是这题的答案
看了很久终于看出来新观点如何反驳dominant view的了…
The dominant view in recent decades has been that family hunting territories, like other forms of private landownership,
注意other forms of private landownership,言下之意就是家庭狩猎区自身就是私有制度的一种
the differentiating factor between (a) and (d) is the placement of the "such" modifier. "such" should be placed AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the NOUN THAT IS EMPHASIZED in context. (例如in this problem, "such as" is describing the CRITERIA, not the variety.)
“这里such的位置就很好。 a variety of是各种各样的意思,你觉得such all kinds of fruits as apple, pear, and banana通顺吗?肯定不好啊,所以D就不好。一般都是说all kinds of fruits such as...,所以就选A。”
关于Algonquian家庭狩猎区对应怎样的财产权,以及如何演变过来的。有几个看法:
-主流观点:由和欧洲人的fur trade带来的社会演变,加上其他因素所导致的
-另外观点:在与欧洲人接触之前就存在,是私有制的体现
-更新观点:家庭个人私有制组成了更大的多家庭狩猎、土地使用系统,这个系统反应的互惠互利是违背私有制的
And trees in extremely dry regions may go a year or two without adding any rings, thereby introducing uncertainties into the count
在极端干旱的环境下,树木可以一两年都不长一层年轮。因此引入了不确定性
Often, ring patterns of dead trees of different, but overlapping, ages can be correlated to provide an extended index of past climate conditions.
通常,不同年龄但是有重叠年纪的死去的树的年轮,可以被关联来提供关于过去天气情况的信息。
choice d,细读文中第一段可知,为什么定位句说用两颗树的年轮才能判断判断气候信息,是因为其实是用“非重叠”的年轮来判断气候的。
比较时需要排除掉自己,用any other month
