倍数表达用twice/xx times as...as
Right: The man is FIVE TIMES AS OLD AS his grandson.

参考其他人的解释：
整个句子结构是：
[Minivans(主语) carry... ] and [ most(主语) cost..., get..., allow... and have...]
结构就是两个分句的大平行。
后面分句的主语是most指代Minivans
这题真的很tricky！

in that的意思是因为，because

题目结论说的是在实验中表现越好，能力消耗越低。

A 选项，抛开逗号的理解，从成分上理解，
简化为：Fossils made it the earliest known mammal 。 但是是Fossile 被追溯到具体年份的这个事件使得 sloth 被认为是最老的mammal。

D选项 ，making the sloth the earliest known mammal 作为 伴随状语，修饰 have been dated at 34 million years old，显然会更好些。

因果
P:所有客户中有略多余10%的客户overdraw
C:bank will make profit from the plan
一个常理性隐含前提：不是所有客户都会转到新账户，那些已经高于minimum requirement的客户不必冒这个风险（本来已经不用付月费了，转过去还可能要付overdraw罚金）
CQ1:这10%的客户包括那些不会转过去客户，那么转去新账户的且会overdraw的客户实际是否占总客户比小于10%？
choiceD：告诉你这10%的会overdraw但不会转过去的客户与会overdraw且会转过去的客户的占比，实际上后者占着10%更多。
有人问 就算是这样 你也不能确定后者能占超过10%（这样才能盈利），但是选项只要有1%的支持就够了。不用保证让结果成立

点错了，不需要讲解

如果要做numbers 比较，一般用greater(less) than, 而不是more than

sequence of events 决定了动词的时态
Right: The band U2 WAS just one of many new groups on the rock music scene in the early 1980s, but less than ten years later, U2 HAD fully ECLIPSED its early rivals in the pantheon of popular music.

错选E 注意and 前后不平行

想清楚谁和谁是平行的 C 是干扰项

看e的错法

重点看cde 要找的是最有可能的答案 而不是完全正确和完美的答案

着重看c选项

这道题2分钟我都做不出来吧...
C：如果H的店主增加高凳，他的利润会增加
P：顾客来H看名人，他们更喜欢高凳；
P：高凳的顾客停留的时间比一般桌椅的顾客停留时间短（typically说明这是一般情况）
结论中，换了高凳会怎样（来这家餐厅的人多了），怎么影响了利润（坐高凳的一般停留时间短）
C，generalization对应的是typically，H的顾客是这个常识的例外，意思就是在H坐高凳的顾客停留的时间会更长，所以直接攻击了P，跪了

根据 to research sth, research 做动词，后面不用加介词。排除A,B.C.D 直接选E。
do research on/about/into research 作为名词，表明关于..的研究。

I eat less of these foods than I did ten years ago.
"”> I eat these foods in smaller servings. This doesn't mean that I eat fewer of them (= that I've cut any of them out of my diet).

I eat fewer of these foods than I did ten years ago.
"”> Ten years ago, I ate N of these foods, where 0 < N ≤ 10.
Now I eat M of them, where M < N.
This statement implies nothing about serving size.

"Less of a/an ___" doesn't refer to a literal quantity. It's an expression that means, roughly, "not as true" or "not having as much of the essence of a/an ____".
Since that's an awkward definition, here is an example:
My grandfather thought that crying made you less of a man. (i.e., like "less manly")

which不指句子 要有平行结构
