Due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats, researchers have determined that there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, and that these leopards are thus many times as rare as China's giant pandas.

题目分析:
本题看似较长,实则只要能充分理解定语和状语的就近修饰原则,就可以从容解题。
选项分析:
A选项:介词短语due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats是状语,应就近修饰一个句子。本选项中其最近的句子为researchers have determined that xxx。但在逻辑上,由于“偷猎和栖息地减少”的,应该是“野生猎豹的数量少”,而不是“调查者确定了xxx”。因此,due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats应放在determine的宾语从句中,用以修饰here are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild。另外,many times as rare as和many times more rare than在本题中均是正确的。
B选项:分词短语making them many times more rare than China's giant pandas是伴随状语或定语。但无论充当什么成分,make的逻辑主语均是有问题的(逻辑主语可能是“猎豹”或者“调查员”)。在逻辑上,让猎豹比熊猫还少的应是“偷猎和栖息地减少”。
C选项:定语从句which makes the leopards many times more rare compared to China's giant pandas的先行词应是最近的单数名词,这造成make的逻辑主语错误同(B)。
D选项:分词短语making them many more times as rare as China's giant pandas的逻辑主语错误同(B)。
E选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D:more…as…as 错,more一定搭配than! many times as rare as / many times more rare than……-Idiomatic
BCD结尾的状语和定语从句对应的逻辑主语illogical!
A:due to ……(由于偷猎和栖息地减少),researchers have determined that ……(研究人员确定了……)--illogical
A选项:介词短语due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats是状语,应就近修饰一个句子。本选项中其最近的句子为researchers have determined that xxx。但在逻辑上,由于“偷猎和栖息地减少”的,应该是“野生猎豹的数量少”,而不是“调查者确定了xxx”。
"due to修饰名词,排除AB
C runon
D more 和as as连用 错误"
E,研究人员确定两件事:1、有少于100只猎豹;2、它们比大熊猫更稀有。并用了thus表达二者间存在因果逻辑关系。
D,研究人员确定一件事:有少于100只猎豹。它们比大熊猫更稀有做伴随状语修饰第一件事。应该是确定了两件事更合语意逻辑。
D选项:分词短语making them many more times as rare as China's giant pandas的逻辑主语错误同(B)。
many times as rare as错误
B/D, making的逻辑主语是there are,错误。
倍数的比较:x times as many as B; x times more than B; x times B
B/D,there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild, making them many times more rare than panda,伴随状语跟随主句主语,主语是there are,错误
关于E中逻辑关系的梳理:
3件事情:(1)偷猎和栖息地减少,(2)猎豹少于100只,(3)比大熊猫还少
E句1作状语修饰2,3与2平行,表示1导致2,2与3之间没有逻辑关系。
2、3之间是否有因果逻辑关系可以参考另一道考题:
Right: more littering has occurred because of the lax enforcement of laws against littering. 垃圾增加因为管扔垃圾的法律执行不严,因果关系
Wrong: more littering has occurred because people have been throwing bottles along the side of the road。人们在路边扔瓶子和垃圾越来越多是一件事情,而不是因果关系。
同理,猎豹数量不到100只和猎豹数量比大熊猫少是一件事情,不用because或伴随状语表示英国关系。E逻辑正确。
many more times as rare as,只要带了more,后面一定是跟than,不跟as; many times as rare as是可以的;many times more rare than是可以的
状语的就近修饰和状语的逻辑主语的适当性问题
B: making them more rare than 不管是修饰there are,还是researchers have determined,逻辑主语都是错的
mark
due to poaching and increased cultivation in their native habitats是状语,应就近修饰一个句子
d的there are fewer than 100 Arabian leopards left in the wild也可以成为thus making them many more times as rare as...的原因吧,即作为逻辑主语。因为leopard只剩下100头了,所以比熊猫还要稀有了。求老师解答。
个人笔记:1. 注意定语和状语的就近修饰!2. 分词短语、定语从句的逻辑主语
