D是一个结果状语从句
目标:减少二氧化碳的排放
不及物动词才有可能用介词短语做宾语,另外记得to do和doing以及从句区别:约束力
简单句子也要兼顾逻辑,这题的逻辑点并不明显,看似是vote的搭配,想不出来的时候,看看句子连词是否包含逻辑关系
首先,对于语法结构,看得懂就不要算错。将注意力放在句子语义和逻辑上
think of O1 as O2是可以的
of表示批判性思维所拥有的能力
第一题这种总结提可以做完后面三道再回头做
Just as the argument, OG's explanations about some answer choices are circular. e.g. Answer B is not true, Answer A is true.
定位: Resource-based theory offers an answer, asserting that, in general, firms gain competitive advantages by accumulating resources that are economically valuable, relatively scarce, and not easily replicated. According to a recent study of retail firms, which confirmed that IT has become pervasive and relatively easy to acquire, IT by itself appeared to have conferred little advantage.
文章主旨讨论IT 会不会造成competitive advantage。传统观点认为会,然而 在service sectors, productivity 上有个新finding,根据这个新finding 进行解释。
“Tailors resented the ascension of seamstresses to guild status; seamstresses, meanwhile, were 【impatient】 with the remaining restrictions on their right to clothe women.”
unequal 不平等的
concede the possible existence of counterexamples to a generalization承认一种概括可能存在反例
本题考查“比较”的知识点。首先,表示比较时,as…as…和more…than…均可以。例如,我们可以说:three times as many as,也可以说:three times more than(当然,这两者表示倍数不同)。但是,as必须和as搭配,more必须和than搭配,不能混搭。由于本题已经讲过了【more than three times】 as many,所以划线部分必须以as开头
题意:关于温室效应的讨论通常集中在【地球是否会变暖以及变暖的程度上】,但气候学家一直指出,最明显的、对人类影响最大的影响是【极端的温度、降水和暴风雨】。
本题的难度主要来自于把句意看懂:
选项A:动名词短语using fire to cook food需改为名词短语the use of fire to cook food,这点考查了名词和动名词的区别。用之于本题,可以被追溯到两百万年以前只能是“用火做饭”这个事件,一个事件自然有内置的时间终点(饭熟且吃上饭了,用火做饭这个事件就结束了)。请注意,有些时候,use fire to cook food在表示“属性”的时候,是没有时间终点的,例如:
A选项中的 so distant from Earth that their light has taken是做定语从句。其实是【省略了that were】。结构上没问题!
买家愿意买,卖家愿意“卖”。这里是卖不是买,此处有错别字。
