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)。
as much as 用于表上限更合适
否定才能用so 二选一错了......
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。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)
not so much as用于否定
客观事实用can,不用could
between a and b=from a to b(表示时间的时候)
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。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)
As much as一般用于肯定句,so much as 一般用于否定。
客观事实用can
could有可能性或者过去有但现在没有的意味
their代表选项的名词为复数:sperm whales
as much as 肯定句中使用;not so much as否定句中使用;between x and y; from x to y;
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
mark,
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。
3、their指代附属排除E
单复数,can could。可以解题
so much as怎么用
So much as is not the correct wording to express the upper level of a variable amount; as much as should be used instead. Also, although the singular a sperm whale can be used to refer to sperm whales generally, the plural their needs to refer to the plural sperm whales.
Although this sentence, as presented, uses the conditional or past verb form could, it is more plausibly intended to make a general statement about the actual behavior of a species, a statement that holds in the present day. For that purpose, the present indicative can is preferable.

我看到国外的能论坛说between-and/to 并不是一个需要深究的点。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。As much as一般用于肯定句,so much as 一般用于否定。

指代。看清提干中的代词从而区分单复数。
问个考点以外的,between...and总在这里是不是有点儿不太恰当,因为表示二者选一
这不是两者选一,是休息的时间是1~8小时,可能修饰5小时,可能修饰7小时的。

请问英文中有so much... as... 这样的表述吗?如果有的话,能否举个简单的例子?
在之前的练习题中倒是有学习过"not so much... as... (与其说是…倒不如说是…)"
肯定句中一般用as much as,否定句才用so much as,所以一般没有单独的so much as结构。
我一直觉得这道题目很奇怪,大家想想这道题目的意思:
between 1 and 8 hours 是什么意思?要么1小时,要么8小时。
但是我想句意是,日夜不停的搜寻饲料,鲸鱼在剩余时间里面进食1-8小时,而不是1或8小时,感觉between在句意上说不通啊
