Foraging at all times of the day and night, but interspersing their feeding with periods of rest that last between one and eight hours, a sperm whale could eat so much as a ton of squid a day.
between one and eight hours, a sperm whale could eat so
between one and eight hours, sperm whales can eat as
between one to eight hours, sperm whales could eat as
from one to eight hours, sperm whales could eat so
from one to eight hours, a sperm whale can eat so
题目分析:
本题涉及了一些比较基础的语法概念。
选项分析:
A选项:注意在划线部分的身前有一个interspersing their feeding,这表明,选项中必须有一个复数名词给这个their来指代。因此,a sperm whale应该改为sperm whales;其次,本选项最后一个词和未划线部分构成了词组so much as,这是不正确的。因为在这个词身后是a ton of squid a day,这是一个上限值,不能用so much as,只能用as much as。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
C选项:在习语上,between必须加and,而不能加to。
D选项:so much as错误同(A)。
E选项:so much as错误同(A);a sperm whale单复数错误同(A)。
so much as 强调甚至于, 实际上更多用bai法应为not so much as多用于否定句
1. not so much as…句型 ,相当于“not even…”, 所以通常翻译为“甚至不…,甚至没有…”.
He didn’t so much as ask me to set down.
他甚至没有请我坐下.
2. not so much …as…句型:基本意义和not as (or so)…as…一样,但是通常翻译为“与其说…不如说…”.:He was not so much angry as disappointed. 他与其说是生气,还不如说是失望了
as much as …1. 多”“多达”“整整”-封顶的数目(跟着题目一样的意思),2 强调“多”;“与……一样多”
因为没划线部分用到了their,所以后面主句里边sperm whale要用复数。排除AE。
between要和and连用,排除C,剩下BD。
表示上限,要用as much as,不用so much as。

as much as …1. 多”“多达”“整整”-封顶的数目(跟着题目一样的意思),2 强调“多”;“与……一样多”
在BD中纠结,发现D last是一般现在时,could是过去时,没有特别表示时间的词不能跳时态。
As much as一般用于肯定句,so much as 一般用于否定。排除D
As much as一般用于肯定句,so much as 一般用于否定。
在习语上,between必须加and,而不能加to。
sc
单复数的考察
sc00971解释的太硬了考试不会这么思考
长难句理解:
intersperse,点缀,布置;intersperse A with B,用B点缀A,把B穿插在A里
Foraging at all times of the day and night, but interspersing their feeding with periods of rest that last between one and eight hours, (鲸鱼)白天黑夜都在进食,但他们的进食也穿插了几段休息,这些休息持续1~8个小时不等。意思是有的时候休息1个小时,有的时候休息8个小时等。
last from one to eight hours和last between one and eight hours都可以表示持续1~8个小时不等。
!!简单题,错误!
考察
前:between 必须加and,而不是to,from to也可以,排除c
后:与未画线部分联系,应该是as much as。去掉ade;;再有,未画线前面部分有个their feeding,也可以推测出画线部分应该是复数主语,即sperm whales,不要看到“a ton of squid a day”就以为是a sperm whale。一定要结合前后文未画线部分
could是过去式
as much as!
between。。。and 和from ..to..意思都可以
can表示能力,could无法表示能力
As much as一般用于肯定句,so much as 一般用于否定。
could 为什么不能表达能力啊?这里不是could是过去时,但是这个语境没有过去的语境,而是表达一种客观现实吗?
could可以表示能力,我说错了

1、so/as只能用于否定句,not so/as=not as/as, as/as可以用在肯定句也可以用在否定句,如:He is not as tall as me.;
not so much/as表示与其说/不如说,如:The distinctions lie not so much in specific skill as in our ability to extend knowledge.
2、last可以跟from/to,可以跟between/and,也可以直接跟时间,如:last (for) three hours
1、真正的考点是can vs. could. 本题的whale有能力是一个客观事实用can(ability),这点从foraging和interspersing看出。Could有possibility的意思,还有说could过去有这种能力,现在没有的意味。
2、As much as一般用于肯定句,so much as 一般用于否定。
代词
as as
看到主句主语在选项中有单复数之差,应该意识到前面的非划线部分中有所提示(their)
SO much as! between。。。and 和from ..to..意思都可以
as much as 用于肯定表上限,not so much as用于否定。
客观事实用can而不是could,could有可能性或者过去有但现在没有的意味。
句子中出现过their所以用sperm whales。
between a and b=from a to b(表示时间的时候)
Between A and B; From A to B.
因此排除C
主句应该用现在时 could排除ACD
由their 排除AE
as much as 用于肯定表上限,not so much as用于否定。
