考题讲解

题目分析:


选项分析:

A选项:at acquiring carbon的位置不对,注意在划线部分身后的in the form of carbon dioxide,它是一个插入语,会就近修饰fungi,在逻辑上,真正以二氧化碳方式的应该是吸收碳元素的过程(即,acquire carbon),而不是fungi。

B选项:at acquiring carbon的位置不对同(A);比较有歧义,本选项有可能被理解为:
Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than Plants are more efficient at acquiring fungi
实际作者的意思是:
Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than fungi are more efficient at acquiring carbon
因此,应该在fungi的身前或者身后加are。

C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。请注意,本选项的比较对象没有问题,这是因为efficient是形容词,不可能和名词fungi比较,比较对象只能是plants和fungi。

D选项:
本选项没有谓语动词。

E选项:
acquire carbon的位置不对同(A);比较对象错误同(B);在未划线部分的并列连词and身后是ing短语converting it to energy-rich sugars,其在逻辑上需要和acquire carbon平行,因此两者需要保持一样的语法形式。请注意,本选项中的efficiently是没有错误的,因为acquire是动词,必须由这个副词来修饰。在选项(A)(B)(C)(D)中,acquire这个事件均是动名词短语的形式,所以用形容词efficient修饰。
