To meet the rapidly rising market demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.
their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment
their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut
growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment
they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment
they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut
(a)(b) meaning 有問題
a. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as suppliers are growing their natural growth rate. (受詞代替fish)
b. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate is growing fish. (主詞代替suppliers)
(c)
兩倍速成長-->人為的,自然成長-->非人為的,所以不會growing them
(e)
平行(growing, cutting, raising)
鱼成长只能主动grow,没有人grow鱼的说法
。。。。线外 suupliers are growing fish怎么解释?
人不能natually grow鱼,只有鱼自身不受人工干预才能natually grow

split 1 :A&B: Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast astheir natural growth rate. This sentence has incorrect elliptical usage. This sentence can actually mean either of the following two:
a. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as suppliers are growing their natural growth rate.
b. Suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate is growing fish.
But both these sentences do not make sense and are illogical.
split 2: Rate = speed
Saying “speed is fast” is definitely incorrect.
“Speed is more than something” or “Speed is higher than something” is appropriate
On similar lines, growth rate cannot be faster. Growth rate can be higher.
A:
a RATE can't be FAST.
* the rate can be high;
* the increase itself can be fast.
similarly,
a height can't be tall (a person can be tall, or a height can be greater than...)
a bank account can't be rich (a person can be rich, or a bank account can contain a large amount of money)
etc.
如果人养鱼,不能说是naturally, 只有 fish grow naturally
注意 如果是人的话 你不能说你养殖他两倍 又养殖他naturally 肯定是鱼自己grow naturally
笔记:A选项 growth rate不能fast 要用high
grow 才能fast
所以是DE
A suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate 不知道是鱼自然的growth rate的二倍
还是suppliers平常养殖鱼的growth rate的二倍
ambiguity
rate不能用fast形容,排除AB
另外 supplier不能grow fish,因此C不对
剩余看平行,选D
C. 自然状态下没法grow fish,所以是fish(自己) grow naturally, 而不是grow fish naturally.
1. 与raising 平行杀BE
2. rate不能用fast形容,杀A
This choice changes the intended meaning of the sentence and in fact while doing so renders the sentence illogical. Remember that the original sentence states that suppliers are growing fish faster than the fish grows naturally. Thus, two different rates of growth are being compared.
Rate at which suppliers grow the fish
Rate at which fish grow naturally.
1、比较对象对等:rate只能是high/low;grow才能是fast/slow。
2、growing的逻辑主语是suppliers,暗示有别的人在grow fish,不合适。
3、cutting XXX and raising平行
比较的是 “suppliers are growing fish” twice as fast as “the fish grow naturally”
故D正确,C错误
比较对象 供应商grow fish 和 他们自然生长(they grow naturally)的速度的比较,正确D,错选C,没弄清楚比较对象
A选项比较的事物错了
错选C, 只想到前后一致,忽略了语义。
鱼成长只能主动grow,没有人grow鱼的说法
rate不能用fast修饰,只能是high/low
这句话的意思是 供应商grow fish 和 他们自然生长的速度的比较,所以 不能是 they are growing them naturally, 要知道谁和谁的比较才行
as fast as ➕句子
growing them naturally 省略了suppliers are 但是这样句意不符
a选项的as as两端比较对象是supplier和rate,不能构成parallelism
