题目分析:
本题考点鲜明,也不算难。只不过整个题目的谓语动词adapt不太明显,容易让人在读句子的时候一时错过谓语动词。另外,any other animal身后的yet tested是一个过去分词短语,做定语修饰any other animal。
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象应该是“象海豹的眼睛适应黑暗的情况”和“其它动物的眼睛适应黑暗的情况”,因此,than后应改为:those of any other animal yet tested do(those表示eyes,do表示情况,即,adapt)。
B选项:比较对象错误同(A);them的指代对象只能是复数名词,但是逻辑上allow的宾语应该是the elephant seal,是单数名词。
C选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。
D选项:比较对象错误同(A)。
E选项:代词it和them的指代对象均有错误,原理上同(B)。
从比较对象和代词指代能够选出C选项;
可是C选项的“ do those of any other animal yet tested”, DO的位置太奇怪了,不应该在后面吗?
C选项我的理解是倒装:“than those of any other animal yet tested do".
倒装 当宾语很长的时候可以将动词提前
