无脑选B,虽然犹豫了一下!
It is used in making a "more than" type of comparison where you also want to refer to a previously stated verb / action (that's where the "so" comes in). In this case, the "so" refers to "reported high marital satisfaction."
Notice here that you are comparing two groups of women: those who take new jobs, and those who retire completely. When making a comparison, you have to make sure you explicitly mention both groups.
In fact, B and D change the original meaning of the sentence to make the second part of the comparison a hypothetical - but the original meaning is that the ones who take new jobs are being compared to those who don't.
for comparisons, they two things / groups / whatever compared should be parallel. "women who took" and "those who retired" are parallel.
选项c,in dong 正在做的事情,和人口没有关系
Because there is only one category mentioned (sense of smell) I think the word "difference" is appropriate.
more……as 错;more than/higher than/greater than 对
"even as" is a transition used to imply simultaneity, and is usually used with parallel tenses (i.e., same tense in both parts of the parallel structure). 主句从句的时态要保持一致;这里更需要用although表转折!
here's an example: even as his income has increased, joe has continued to feel less and less satisfied with his life.
比较C和E,C: HCa‘s fairy tales (have been among)……, still his plays,…,and travel books (remain) almost unknown outside.
E: Although HCA wrote fairy tales that (are among)……,his plays……and travel books (remain) ……
* first, the tenses should be parallel, since the descriptions are meant to be simultaneous.
* second, they should be the present tense, since the sentence is stating facts that are statistical truths.
我怀疑这答案有问题,不可能才500
B vs.D:用定语从句修饰同位语优于用伴随状语修饰,后者有明显的正在发生的倾向;
关于expect的固定搭配: expect to do…/sth. is expected to do…/…expect that sth. will do /it is expected that sth. will do /eg. Inflation rose more than we expected. /There is an expectation that……
WRONG:sth. is expected for it to do./ It is expected that sth.should do.
非限定性定语从句里which不是可以指代整个句子吗
不可以呀,comma+which就近修饰名词
原本M说:如果P和Q有交集,那么Q和R就没有交集;然而S推翻了M的说法,S说Q和R是有交集的,那也就是说P和Q没有交集咯,所以B对。。。。。。
不存在S推翻了M的说法,S和M的说法都是对的,选项是建立在S和M都对的情况下。
个人认为E选项的条件句如果是 if it did so应该也没问题吧?
相比较而言。if it were to do, 强调主句潜在的结果特别糟糕或不可想象,if it did so 则没有这个强调作用
"the water levels of the oceans would rise 250 feet and engulf most of the world's great cities."作为结果还不够糟糕吗
B-写错了吧?!文中的意图是仅仅次于大豆。
C large in quantities 有歧义
B里面的capacity是产能并不是产量,产能增加了也不会代表产量增加。比如能生产500t,不等于会生产500t
定位:It may be that males can use scarce carotenoids either for immune defense and detoxification or for attracting females. 注意是or,所以不能同步。
和提示词离得远的细节题真的头疼
可以说,科学家到现在为止发现了17颗星星(可能之前发现了16颗,最近又发现了一颗,所以是到现在为止有17颗了),但不能说,科学家到现在为止发现了一件事,因为,发现一件事,要么就是发现了,要么就是没发现,没有“到现在为止发现”一说)。
17颗星星被环绕是一个客观事实,这个动作的时间不受discover的发生时间的影响。
看清楚题目定语从句引导词!
第二次错了!反问一下A中“they”和“their”有指代对象吗?!
