A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.
that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing
that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in
that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing

creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing
题目分析:
本题虽然属于难题,但是考点较为容易识别,属于常考题型。
选项分析:
A选项:虽然suffer和from是固定搭配,但是本选项中from身后dwindling food supplies的核心词是错误的。在逻辑上,suffer from身后的内容应该是suffer的原因。本题中海床生物受灾的原因应是“食物供给的变坏”,而不是“食物供给”。试想,只有供给变坏,才能导致受灾,而食物供给本身是中性的,不会导致生物受灾。另外,动名词短语increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period需改为名词短语an increase in sea surface temperatures during the same period,这点考查了名词和动名词的区别,用之于本题,increase这个动作的时间已经被状语 during the same period规定了发生时间段,因此increase必然有时间终止点。
B选项:Correct.本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。possibly as a result of an increase是food supplies were dwindling的状语。
C选项:because of身后的核心词为food supplies,本选项错误同(A)。动名词短语increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period错误同(A)。
D选项:reveal的宾语 creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling的核心词为creatures of the seabed,一个对食物供给的研究应该揭示的是海床生物的某种情况而不是单纯的一个生物。
E选项:本选项错误同(D);动名词短语increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period错误同(A)。
ab选错。
虽然suffer和from是固定搭配,但是本选项中from身后dwindling food supplies的核心词是错误的。在逻辑上,suffer from身后的内容应该是suffer的原因。本题中海床生物受灾的原因应是“食物供给的变坏”,而不是“食物供给”。
increase这个动作的时间已经被状语 during the same period规定了发生时间段,因此increase必然有时间终止点。所以用an increase.因为文中有固定时间线。
dwindling 只做一个修饰成分,而语义上应该作为对象,因此A错误。
抓住核心词,food supply不是原因!food supply was dwindling才是原因
B,as a result,comma+介词+名词做状语,修饰最近的动词food supplies were dwindling
(2)suffer from后面可以接动词的名词化,如Many companies are suffering from a shortage of skilled staff. 但A中were suffering from dwindling food supplies的主结构是were suffering from food supplies,不是在遭受食物供应,是在遭受食物供应的短缺,应该说were suffering from a dwindling of food supplies或者were suffering because food supplies were dwindling
(3)increasing改成an increasing或an increase
A, resulting from海平面温度上升作状语,修饰creatures were suffering食物短缺,
(1)海平面温度上升不能与生物在遭受食物短缺并列,海平面上升造成的直接后果是食物短缺,然后才是生物食不果腹;同时resulting from只能作noun modifier修饰某物(不加逗号),不能做状语修饰某事(加逗号),因为做伴随状语修饰某物表示两个动作同时发生,而A resulting from B,A 起因于B,B引起A,是B发生在前,A发生在后,所以不能resulting from不能做状语,只能跟在名词后面做定语
increasing也可以看成是一个形容词修饰名词sea surface temperatures
A选项:虽然suffer和from是固定搭配,但是本选项中from身后dwindling food supplies的核心词是错误的。在逻辑上,suffer from身后的内容应该是suffer的原因。本题中海床生物受灾的原因应是“食物供给的变坏”,而不是“食物供给”。
另外逗号加resulting from作为状语修饰were suffering from有问题
1、Ing强调过程,名字强调结果
2、suffering from的宾语有问题,注意句意。
考点:逻辑意思;动名词和名词的区别
语义:一个研究的结果表明海洋生物suffering由于食物链变坏
语法:
ACE选项:increasing强调过程,increase强调结果。根据句意应该是食物链变坏是由海水温度上升这一结果导致的。排除
D选项:强调suffering的原因是food supplies( that were dwindling),排除。
相比之下,B选项强调的是suffering的原因是food supplies were dwindling这一整个事件。句意合理。
Their suffering was caused not by the (dwindling) food supplies themselves, of course, but by the diminution of those supplies.
there is no choice with a NOUN to represent "dwindling" / "diminution", so we need something else that carries the same meaning -- here, "because supplies were dwindling".
看见,resulting from基本上可以排除选项了
resulting from 一般不可以用作状语修饰,多用作形容词修饰词,一般情况都没有逗号。
resulting from 不是状语
再次证明resulting from不可以前面加个逗号单独做状语。
注意名词动名词的区别
sb. suffer from B,表示sb.遭受了B, B表示的是遭受的结果,因此使用dwindling不好,现在分词一般 表示过程, 应该使用名词或过去分词表示结果; 同样increasing也不好, result from后面接事实,表示原 因, 应该用increased或者an increase来代替increasing
suffering这里是形容词?
可否總結為:大部分情況下,【because + 句子】比【because of + 名詞】要更好?因為句子有主謂賓,tell 的信息多,然而名詞中性,不帶任何信息?
resulting from不可以做状语使用
