Unearthed in China, fossils of feathered dinosaurs offer the most dramatic evidence yet discovered of the close evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds.
offer the most dramatic evidence yet discovered of the close evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds
offer evidence more dramatic than what has yet been discovered of the close evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds
offer more dramatic evidence of the close evolutionary relationship than any yet discovered between dinosaurs and birds

题目分析:
本题主要考查more和most在措辞区别。
选项分析:
A选项: Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B选项:在选项的开始出现了what has yet been discovered of the close evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds(比之前发现的这些证据都要更引人注目)。在逻辑上,既然比现在已发现的所有证据都要更加引人注目,那么显然就相当于这个证据是已发现的证据中是最引人注目的。因此,用most dramatic这种表达更为高效。
C选项:more错误同选项(B)。
D选项:本选项在more和most的措辞上是没有问题的,但that have yet been discovered这个定语从句是不正确的。该定语从句会就近修饰一个复数名词,但不管是鸟,还是恐龙,抑或是恐龙和鸟,均是不正确的。在逻辑上,“到现在为止被发现”的应该是证据。
E选项:本选项错误同选项 (B)。
最高级的表达和比较级的表达,在语意相同的条件下最高级更加简洁
找modifier的关联,yet discovered 应该紧跟evidence,因为是修饰它的,between dinosaurs and birds 应该紧跟relationship
就是modifier get closer as much as possible.

就是modifier get closer as much as possible.
most 比 more than any 更好
redundancy 的问题:most dramatic 比 more dramatic than any ...更好
D:have yet been discovered 放在birds and dinosaurs后面会造成歧义。
A: yet discovered修饰evidence,且yet做adv修饰discovered,表still/already/until now ;后面of也修饰evidence,evidence of sth,……的证据,这里将yet discovered放在前面是因为后面的sth非常长,让人搞不清到底它到底在修饰谁
A: yet discovered修饰evidence,且yet做adv修饰discovered,表still/already/until now ;后面of也修饰evidence,evidence of sth,……的证据,这里将yet discovered放在前面是因为后面的sth非常长,让人搞不清到底它到底在修饰谁
B:原划线句和B中“than what has yet been discovered of the close evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds”都表示在跟之前发现的这些证据比,因此用最高级;且用比较级的话,要排除自身,类似one 与the other 的比较,而不是one 与all的比较。此选项中,A is more ADJ than any A‘ 是错的,因为A‘ 包含A。必须要是A is more ADJ than any other A
C:同理B
D:that修饰evidence距离太远;have改成has
E:同理B
语意:最戏剧性的证据,最戏剧性表示夸张,没有A比B更戏剧性一说。
A,yet discovered做定语修饰evidence,表示被发现的证据;后面的of也修饰evidence,evidence of sth,……的证据。这里之所以将yet discovered隔在evidence of sth中间,是因为后面的sth非常长,discovered放在sth的后面会让人搞不清到底它到底在修饰谁,所以将其提前放在被修饰的evidence后面。
D,that修饰evidence距离太远;have改成has

最后几道题时间来不及了都是蒙的
注意discovered修饰的对象是evidence而不是动物。另外比较级的使用方法区别
yet discovered修饰evidence 比较级比较时要排除自身加上other之类的
yet在此处是副词 =already
yet discovered修饰evidence。
比较级比较时要排除自身加上other之类的
yet discovered 做插入语,或者说修饰语,修饰evidence
"yet" acts as coordinating conjunction or adverb. clearly, "yet" is adverb here and in that sense "yet" means still/already/until now
1. yet discovered至今为止发现的,一般接最高级
2. 注意同类比较的时候,A is more ADJ than any AA是错的,这里AA包含了A。必须要是A is more ADJ than any other AA. 同理,B选项中than what has yet been discovered包含了evidence
3. 比较的时候注意对象。B的一个很大的错误是拿evidence和被发现的东西来比较了,改变了原意
4. 时间状语修饰的位置,可能会改变句意要记得注意
5. more+adj+noun的结构一定会存在歧义,在选择的时候要注意衡量选项
------------kmf
定语从句会就近修饰一个复数名词
忽视了比较级的用法
笔记:most dramatic evidence (yet discovered) of 括号中有后置的修饰是使用正确的
1. we cannot say - "A is more punctual than every human being" but we can say "A is the most punctual human being". This is a weird example but the point i want to convey is that first one is wrong because "every human being" includes A as well. so correct sentence will be "A is more punctual than every OTHER human being" - this concept rules out all but A
