The gyrfalcon, an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970's.
extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than
extinction; its numbers are now five times more than
extinction, their numbers now fivefold what they were
extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they had
extinction, now with numbers five times greater than
brush,刷子,擦过,a brush with sb/sth, 与……的冲突;
survive ,及物或不及物,survive from/on/as sth,survive sth,在……中幸存下来,如:survive the crisis; survive the winter; survive the long trip。
has survived a close brush with extinction,从与灭绝的冲突中幸存下来。所以主句是讲G差点灭绝,后面讲它现在的数量是以前DDT时期的5倍。这个语意有转折,不能用缺乏转折连词的伴随状语/独立主格;A,并列句,ok
数字之间的比较用greater不用more,数字只有大小没有多少 B错误
数字之间的比较用greater不用more,数字只有大小没有多少 B错误
未划线部分是单数,they 不正确,排除CD
所以主句是讲G差点灭绝,后面讲它现在的数量是以前DDT时期的5倍。这个语意有转折,不能用缺乏转折连词的伴随状语/独立主格
E:“now with numbers five times greater than” does NOT modify the idea of "surviving a close brush with extinction"; instead, it is a much later situation, far removed from (and in considerable contrast to) the near-extinction. Therefore, a modifier is inappropriate here; a separate clause, written in a different tense (as in the correct answer), is a better solution.
数字之间的比较用greater
"数字之间的比较用greater不用more,数字只有大小没有多少 B错误
未划线部分是单数,they 不正确,排除CD
now with错:第一,修饰主语gyrfalcon,表示伴随survive的动作,不合逻辑 排除E
"
对比数字大小时,只能用greater than。因为数字只有大小之分,没有多少。
不能用伴随,因为不是同个时间发生的,也不能修饰has survived的动作,要用两个不同时态的句子来表达
pronouns单复数,greater than是指数字大小比较,不是多少比较
E:“now with numbers five times greater than” does NOT modify the idea of "surviving a close brush with extinction"; instead, it is a much later situation, far removed from (and in considerable contrast to) the near-extinction. Therefore, a modifier is inappropriate here; a separate clause, written in a different tense (as in the correct answer), is a better solution.
1.numbers 和 number 都可以表示数量
2.原句用分号,两个句子,时态不同,前句现在完成时:讲的是鸟从extinction中survive了,后句一般现在时now:补充说明 不仅活下来了,还变成了5倍
D,E 改成with伴随状语,没有写成分号两个句子好。
3.now with错:第一,修饰主语gyrfalcon,表示伴随survive的动作,不合逻辑
第二,前句有with extinction,这里再用with,容易让人产生两者平行的歧义
重点:
1.numbers用greater不用more
2.主语单数用 its 不是they their
E:“now with numbers five times greater than” does NOT modify the idea of "surviving a close brush with extinction"; instead, it is a much later situation, far removed from (and in considerable contrast to) the near-extinction. Therefore, a modifier is inappropriate here; a separate clause, written in a different tense (as in the correct answer), is a better solution.
b数字应该是大小,而不是多少
cd中they无指代
e如果用with会发现,这句话没说完,后面还缺了一部分,不可以做伴随状语
伴随状语概念:在句中,句首,句末的分词短语,从句主语等于主句主语
C D their和they错误
D E 状从修饰错误
对比数字大小时,只能用greater than。因为数字只有大小之分,没有多少。
now with是survive动作的伴随,数字无法伴随动作,因此直接排除DE;分号前后可以隔开完整句子
greater than (its numbers were) when the use of DDT was s
对比数字大小时,只能用greater than。因为数字只有大小之分,没有多少。
有没有同学能举出几道with最后是正确选项的题目?我做了好多题,好像with基本都是错的。。。可以拿这个点排除吗?
不可以,with可以引导独立主格,with还有很多种正确的用法,在英语里是非常常用的。E错在不应该用独立主格,就算没有with它也是错的,同时没有说是谁的numbers。

比较考点:A和E比较,now的位置A中更好,因为是now 和when比较,即两个时间做比较。而E中now作为整个独立主格的时间状语,没法和when比较了
E中谁的number,这个独立主格没有表示明白,所以跟前一句的联系不明显
