In some types of pine tree, a thick layer of needles protects the buds from which new growth proceeds; consequently they are able to withstand forest fires relatively well.
a thick layer of needles protects the buds from which new growth proceeds; consequently they are able to withstand forest fires relatively well
a thick needle layer protects buds from where new growth proceeds, so that they can withstand forest fires relatively well
a thick layer of needles protect the buds from which new growth proceeds; thus, they are able to withstand relatively well any forest fires
since the buds from which new growth proceeds are protected by a thick needle layer, consequently they can therefore withstand forest fires relatively well
because the buds where new growth happens are protected by a thick layer of needles, they are able to withstand forest fires relatively easily as a result
题目分析:
本题通过细微的语法变化考查了考生对于措辞的应用。
选项分析:
A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
B选项:a thick needle layer和a thick layer of needles的意思是不同的。虽然两者中的needle都可以被认为成是layer的定语,但是普通的名词做定语和所有格定语还是有区别的,例如:woman teacher和teacher of woman(或woman’s teacher)。前者是“女教师”的意思,后者则是“女人拥有的老师”。也就是说,名词做定语,表示的是其修饰的名词的一个子集;而所有格则表示一种拥有关系。用之于本选项可知,a thick needle layer表示的是,layer有一个子集,是needle layer,这显然是不合逻辑的。应该是松树的针所拥有的层(layer)可以保护芽。因此,a thick needle layer应改为a thick layer of needles。另外,from where这个表达是不正确的,要么直接用where,要么用from which。
C选项:protect的主语的核心词是a thick layer,所以应改为protects。
D选项:a thick needle layer错误同(B);since表示因为,有了它后面就不用再加consequently来表示结果了,即,consequently是赘余的。
E选项:because和as a result的赘余错误同(D)。
because/as a result重复
from which=where
考察:
细微语法变化,考察细节观察;
前: a thick layer of needles这里无法判断和排除,因为并没有原则错误
中:“protects (the )buds”有无the的区别
from which new growth proceeds;这里要么是from which,要么直接用where,没有from where的用法,排除a;
后:
c “withstand relatively well any forest fires” 对比其他选项,没做到就近修饰
de,重复赘余连词
B "from where" is not the correct form, which i didnt notice when answering; "a needle layer" is less precise than "the layer of needles", which makes it clear that the layer is composed of needles rather than being.
D: the causation expression is redundant, using since, consequently, and therefore.
E: "because" and "as a result" are redundant.
In some types of pine tree, 后面加because. since感觉不好
注意赘余重复
例如:woman teacher和teacher of woman(或woman’s teacher)。前者是“女教师”的意思,后者则是“女人拥有的老师”。也就是说,名词做定语,表示的是其修饰的名词的一个子集;而所有格则表示一种拥有关系。
from where这个表达是不正确的,要么直接用where,要么用from which
E的错误应该是where不能修饰buds? as a result冗余这个有点牵强
Wrong: since/because A do sth, consequently B happens, consequently与since/because语意重复。
Right:A do sth, consequently B happens.
consequently,作为结果地,因此,与since语意上重复。
形容词+复合名词需要注意形容词到底修饰的是前一个名词还是后一个名词,这样用通常会引起歧义。
from wgere X
because和as a result的赘余错误同(D)。
since表示因为,有了它后面就不用再加consequently来表示结果了,即,consequently是赘余的。
这道题以后需要再看看,加深理解
句子完整性排除DE,a thick layer of needles和a thick needle layer相比明显前者更具准确性,排除B,a thick layer of应该用单数,所以应该用protects排除C
介词增加表达的准确性
主谓一致
句子完整性
because和consequently\as a result冗余
B from where错
C 主语是单数 protect是复数谓语
D consequently 和since赘余
E as a result赘余
注意细节 小成分不同:thick layer of needle VS thick needle layer
【the buds】from which new growth proceeds:新芽从中长出来的【花苞】
d选项therefore也是abundant吧
