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)。
肯定句中一般用as much as,否定句中so much as一般放在否定句中,有甚至;与其说...不如说...两种意思,as much as能表一种上限,“至多”,这里用as much as更符合题意,ADE排掉;their作为代名词,指代逻辑上合理的词,如果a sperm whale,那their在整句话中找不到指代的词了,AE因此可以排除;鲸鱼的食量显然是一种客观事实,现在仍具有这种能力,应该用can而不是could
