Whereas scientists, because of random fluctuations in the weather, cannot determine the transition from one season to the next by monitoring temperatures on a daily basis, so they cannot determine the onset of global warming by monitoring average annual temperatures.
Whereas scientists
Just as scientists
Like scientists who
In as much as a scientist
In the same way a scientist
题目分析:
本题比较简单,只需记住固定句型:just as A do B, so C do D即可。
选项分析:
A选项:whereas的意思是“虽然如此”,本身表示的是其连接的两个小句具有转折关系,而不是类比关系。另外,whereas本身就是连词了,而“主句”前又出现了so,这是不正确的,两个小句间只能用一个连词进行连接。(注意,这个just as…so…不同,just as + so组成的是一个连词)
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的,句子结构为:Just as (scientists cannot determine the transition from one season to the next by monitoring temperatures on a daily basis), so (they cannot determine the onset of global warming by monitoring average annual temperatures.)
C选项:本选项没有主句,so引导的是一个结果状语从句。
D选项:本选项没有主句。
E选项:本选项没有主句。
固定句型:just as A do B, so C do D
just as/so是个例外,just as是从属连词,连接状语从句,so做副词,修饰整个主句,不表示所以,意指像……,
Just as scientists can't do A ……, so they can't do B
又如:He was not so quick a learner as his brother. 他不像他哥哥那样快。
In as much as:因为,既然
应该选B,而非A。
