overcompensating和growing均是animal发出的动作,这两者没有修饰关系,应该保持并列。排除CDE
A,指代混乱
B correct
A,只有三者平行或者两个完整的句子间的and前才应该加逗号
B,that错误
CE,主谓不一致
能发出“激活”这个动作的只能是复数名词visitors。
E:知识点:was for身后加时间时,意思是“为期”,身后只能加非特殊的时期,例如:
The post was for one year in the first instance.(这个职位是为期一年的)
该例句不能写为:
**The post was for 1997.
这是因为,职位只能为期一段时期,不能为期某个特定的年份(不能说,职位为期1997年)。
因此,本选项中,只能说:
a truce was for a month. (停战协议是为期一个月的)
不能说,停战协议为期奥林匹克开幕的月份。
A的错误在于,of型所有格和-‘s型所有格的区别主要在于物主是人还是物。英语语法规定,只有当物主是人或者动物等“活体”时,才能用-’s型所有格,其余只能用of型,例如:
(1) legs of the table
(2) **table’s legs
(2)的用法是不正确的。在本选项中,festival显然不是一个“活体”,应该用of型所有格,而不是’s型。
(3)-s所有格有时也可用于无生命的东西,主要用于表时间、国家、城市、组织机构、车辆船只以及某些集合名词或度量衡等的名词后。如:
It’s the country’s biggest city. 它是这个国家最大的城市。
D:for可以作连词,表原因
A is to B what C is to do是一个习惯表达
the goal to reduce是错的,This meaning is nonsensical: a goal cannot be used to reduce something.
A,伴随主语是ancestors,ancestors reduce这不合理
C,两句话不是因果关系
D,from which后面缺少逻辑主语
E,so as to需要保持主语一致,ancestors reduce...也不合理
并列连词可以省略相同的主谓
这里用伴随是不合理的,出版与argue两件事并无修饰关系
同位语的表达,观察未划线部分,需要保持平行
E correct
but的转折是没有必要的,这里是一个条件状态,用if连接即可
另外,需要遵从主将从现
E correct
BC很好排除,这里作伴随,但是与主句并无关联,
D,so such that错误
A,修饰是不对的,不能说aviation is new for plane
E,作定语修饰records,合理且正确
appear是“出现”的意思。在逻辑上,是在地球上看Sunspots时,它们长成黑点(dark spots)的样子,即,可视为黑子(are visible as dark spots)。如果用appear as dark spots,则好像是在说,Sunspots自己就出现为黑点的模样。
for anybody who wants to know the answer, --- by Ron
probably the easiest way to go here is to remember this as an idiomatic usage of the construction "known to". if the action is in the present, then you use "known to VERB"; if the action is in the past, then you use "known to have VERBed". as far as i know, these are the only two possible forms.
MARK. conclude to到达
single out...begin...and... impose平行
many of them in middle management and light industry是women的同位语,which不能修饰人,要修饰woman必须用whom
Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an 【especially】 serious pollutant because it diminishes 【the respiratory system's ability to deal with all other pollutants】.
二氧化硫是酸雨的主要贡献者,是一种特别严重的污染物,因为它会降低呼吸系统处理所有其他污染物的能力。
1. capability to do(√); capability of/in doing(×);
2. capable of doing (√)
3. sb's ability to do sth (√),ability of sb/sth to do sth (√)
4. capability to do不如ability to do简洁,但不可就此判错。
especially强调严重性的程度, specially强调特殊性
选项C(√)
Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power,--主谓宾
whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced in Germany.--主谓宾
法国 75% 以上的能源来自核能,而核能仅占德国能源的 33% 以上
选项D(×)
Over 75 percent of 【the energy】 produced in France derives from nuclear power,
whereas just over 33 percent of 【the (×)energy ∵不是同个energy】 comes from nuclear power 【in Germany(×)位置不对,应该在energy后面】.
the energy前的定冠词the表示这个energy指代前面出现过的energy,即,生产于法国的核能,in Germany位置变成了修饰nuclear power,这句话的意思变成了“在法国,超过33%的能量来自于德国生产的核能”,失去了比较的意义
选项中between 1876 and 1904变为了have led的状语。但是,由于have led是现在完成时,所以应该表示“到现在为止”,而不是仅在过去的某个时间,所以此处是矛盾的;另外,介词短语for serving应改为不定式短语to serve,这点考查了不定式和ing的区别,用之于本题,主句“担心引起三个排污系统的建造”的发生会直接影响“排污系统服务于波士顿”的发生,即,是建造了三个排污系统使得了这三个排污系统能服务于波士顿,因此,应该用不定式短语。
more babies were born to women over the age of thirty
than (babies were born to women省略相同的S+V) under it(指代the age of thirty)
According to public health officials, in 1998 Massachusetts became the first state in which more babies were born to women over the age of thirty than under it.
据公共卫生官员称,1998 年,马萨诸塞州成为第一个 30 岁以上女性所生婴儿多于 30 岁以下女性(所生婴儿)的州。
A. correct; than后面省略了babies born to women; 因为under与over的平行, it明确指代the age of thirty.(换句话说, 有了Under就能知道than后面省略的是women了,不用像C补出they were了)
B. under it修饰了born,逻辑意思荒谬:孩子们生下来时小于30岁。
C. 根据比较的平行 they 指代 babies,但仅补出 they were 使得 were 是助动词还是系动词不清楚,系动词 的话, under it 修饰了 they,逻辑错误,助动词的话, they were 累赘。
(they 仅指向 babies 而不是指 向 30 岁以上母亲剩下的 babies,类似的例子如: In Japan elderly people are treated with far greater
respect than they are in most Western countries.they 不是指代 Japan 的老年人,而是就老年人)
D. had时态错误,比较双方是同时发生的,应该都用一般过去时; there无并列对象。
E. had时态错误同D
fat of a kind需改为a kind of fat。a kind of是一个固定搭配,表示某一种,不能拆分。of a kind表示“同一类,相似的”,显然不符合本题的含义。另外,这里的that of略有赘余的嫌疑,虽然可以比较两种动物的脂肪,但比较两种动物已经足够清楚,所以这个that of可以不必要添加。
