题目分析:
略。
选项分析:
A选项:首先,由于本选项的dated是过去分词(不可能是过去时,因为date理应是被动语态,若是谓语动词的过去时应该用were dated),所以其引导的部分应该同found in Puerto Rico in 1991平行。鉴于此,and dated at 34 million years old身前和身后的逗号是不应该加的(只有三者平行或者两个完整的句子间的and前才应该加逗号)。
B选项:在语法上,代词they没有指代对象;that不能用于引导非限定性定语从句;has been的主语的核心词是Fossils,应该用have been。
C选项:that was found in Puerto Rico in 1991只能修饰单数名词,而其逻辑上的先行词应为fossils;was dated at 34 million years old主谓一致错误同(B)。
D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。分词短语making the sloth the earliest known mammal on the Greater Antilles Islands是伴随状语。
E选项:was dated at 34 million years old主谓一致错误同(B);主语fossils和谓语动词made之间不应添加逗号,例如:
(1) I play cards.
(2)** I, play cards.
句(2)是错误的,不能用逗号隔开主语和谓语动词。(有时因有插入语导致谓语动词身前有逗号,这不矛盾。因为那个逗号是用来隔开插入语和主句的,不是用来隔开主语和谓语动词的。语法上不允许有目的是为了隔开主语和谓语动词的逗号)
Fossil
D,E纠结了很长时间,最终选择了E,没料到语法上还有毕老师说的那一条!有收获!
基本都可以通过单复数排除掉
A选项:it指代有误;fossils为复数;
B选项:has been--have been
C选项:that was--awkward and wordy; was无法作为复数名词的系动词;
E选项:was主谓一致;
错选C
A.E.fossils made it the earliest known mammal,逻辑意思错误。不能是化石本身使得sloth成为已知最早的哺乳动物,而是追溯到34million年前这件事使得sloth成为已知最早的哺乳动物。
原来用两个逗号隔开的形似插入语的定语从句是算成非限制性定语从句的呀,我一直以为是个插入语,然后插入语可以把两个逗号去掉,所以就可以从that来引导定语从句了,看来之前一直想错了。只有三者平行,或者两个完整句子间的and才能加逗号,不能有目的的在主语和谓语间加逗号,插入语除外
* the present perfect (has/have VERBed) is used if the event still has a tangible impact or influence on, or relevance to, the present state of affairs.
* the simple past is used if the event does NOT have any tangible impact/influence/relevance in the present.

主语是fossils,b\c\e动词错
D SVO,doing 表因果
found in Puerto Rico in 1991和dated at 34 million years old修饰的都是fossils.
注意:并不是fossils使sloth成为最早的哺乳动物,而是fossils被定位在...年前使sloth成为最早的哺乳动物。所以要用comma+ing。
what's probably an easier way to eliminate the same choice is to realize that you can't block off a modifier with a comma on only one side. modifiers should be blocked off either with commas on both sides (nonessential modifiers) or with commas on neither side (essential modifiers).
in that choice, "found in Puerto Rico in 1991" is blocked off with a comma on the right, but not on the left. bad news.
A选项中的“it”是不是也不对啊?它可以指代前面的sloth吗?
E里的which was dated at可以修饰sloth吗?
E里的which was dated at可以修饰sloth吗?
AE: fossils made 逻辑意思错误
正解,我也是这样才排除了A,因为根据A,意思是化石是哺乳类动物,老师这样理解对吗

为什么date要用现在完成时,而不用过去时?
date居然是被动的。。。也是啊!
A还有一个问题是fossils made it the earliest know mammal不合逻辑,不是化石本身导致它变成最早的哺乳动物,而是发现化石有34MILLION YRS OLD这件事情导致它变成最早的哺乳动物, 所以 making the sloth the earliest known mammal on 是表结果
