题目分析:
本题主句的谓语动词number长得有点像名词,这使得很多考生读完了一遍句子发现自己好像没有看懂。从划线部分开始其实是一个同位语,同位the world’s social wasps。
选项分析:
A选项:复数代词they在语法上只能指代复数名词wasps,但是在逻辑上,由女王和工人组成的应该是某一个社会(society)而不是wasps。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项:which means引导的是定语从句,必须就近修饰一个单数名词,但是在整个主句中皆没有单数名词,因此,本选项具有语法错误。
D选项:which means错误同(C);it is almost entirely females中的be动词措辞有误,应该是it consists almost entirely females。另外,本选项中并列连词and连接的是Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world's social wasps和it is almost entirely females—the queen and her sterile female workers(不能和live并列的原因是and身前的逗号以及live句是一个定语从句,而and身后这个句子并不缺少任何成分,肯定不是定语从句)。在逻辑上,“黄蜂是什么”和“社会的组成”之间没有并列的关系。
E选项:并列连词and连接对象错误同(D)。
——Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species of the world's social wasps和it is almost entirely females—the queen and her sterile female workers(不能和live并列的原因是and身前的逗号以及live句是一个定语从句,而and身后这个句子并不缺少任何成分,肯定不是定语从句)。在逻辑上,“黄蜂是什么”和“社会的组成”之间没有并列的关系。——
这句话没有出现live呀……而且which means 后面的“their society is highly cooperative, organized"不也是完整句子吗,于是就可以和”it is almost entirely females" 并列咯?(同时作为which means 的宾语)
当然主谓一致的错误一下子就把D否了,探讨下这个平行的问题~
并列除了指形式上的并列,更重要的是句意上的并列。"their society is highly cooperative, organized(它们的社会高度协作)”与" it is almost entirely females(它们的社会都是雌性)”在句意上无法构成并列,即社会高度协作与社会都是雌性是两个毫无关系的句子。其次,it (society) is almost entirely females的表达也不对。这是一个主系表结构,即主语和标语讲的是一件事。society和females完全是两种不同的概念,因此选项D也错了。
