题目分析:
略。
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:本选项主语是新陈代谢(metabolism),其是一个单数名词,身后的谓语动词也需要用单数来表达,were应该改为was。
C选项:比较对象不对等。真正应该比较的是“恐龙的新陈代谢”和“温血动物的新陈代谢以及冷血动物的新陈代谢”,而在划线部分身后已经给出了a warm-blooded mammal's(在温血动物和冷血动物的身后加上了所有格),即,已经表示“动物的新陈代谢”了,不必要再加those of。
D选项:比较对象错误同(C)。另外,本选项是一个there be句型。There be句型通常描述的是“这里有xxx”,例如:
there are three chairs.
该例句讲的是:这里有三把椅子。
用之于本题,本句的意思是:这里有很多种类的恐龙。这在逻辑上是不正确的,科学家声称的应该是很多种类的恐龙具有的某种特点,而不是“有很多恐龙”。
E选项:本选项错误同(D)。
contend that,排除D、E
C,双重所有格,排除
B,主谓不一致,metabolism是单数,应该用was
A correct
