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)。
另外,from where这个表达是不正确的,要么直接用where,要么用from which。
DE选项:consequently...therefore; because...as a result--redundant expressions;
B选项:a thick needle layer没有所有格a thick layer of needles表达准确,layer of needles明确指出the layer is composed of needles rather that being;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:主谓一致:protect的主语的核心词是a thick layer,所以应改为protects。’withstand relatively well any forest fires‘中间夹的relatively well副词使句子不优;
where/from which
mark
E选项:because和as a result的赘余错误同(D)。

E不仅赘余,主从句也改变了吧?
needle layer is less precise than the more standard layer of needles, which makes it clear that the layer is composed of needles rather than being, for example, a layer of a needle. From where is not the correct form, because it is redundant in using two words that express the idea of location (from and where) instead of one.
逻辑连词重复。错选E。
mark所有格定语和名词定语的区别。
1、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;B、D意思改变
2、错选C,protect修饰layer,应为单数
A 的they 指代buds,其他都有硬伤;
B-from where 错;
C-Protect应该单数;
D-since+consequently 赘余用法;
E-Because+as a result 赘余用法;
老师您好,曼哈顿上有说分号连接的两个句子在逻辑上应该是平行的,但本题前后有明显的从属关系,这个问题怎么判断呢?
thus, they..是指代pine tree还是buds?
应该指代的是buds

所有格形式应该更能体现两者关系
A B表示B的子集,A of B表示B拥有A
A thick needle layer vs. A thick layer of needles. Since 和 consequently重复,because 和 as a result重复
这里where的先行词不是地点
