The gyrfalcon, an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970's.
extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than
extinction; its numbers are now five times more than
extinction, their numbers now fivefold what they were
extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they had
extinction, now with numbers five times greater than
survive ,及物或不及物,survive from/on/as sth,survive sth,在……中幸存下来,如:survive the crisis; survive the winter; survive the long trip。
has survived a close brush with extinction,从与灭绝的冲突中幸存下来。所以主句是讲G差点灭绝,后面讲它现在的数量是以前DDT时期的5倍。这个语意有转折,不能用缺乏转折连词的伴随状语/独立主格;A,并列句,ok
未划线部分是单数,they 不正确,排除CD

E:“now with numbers five times greater than” does NOT modify the idea of "surviving a close brush with extinction"; instead, it is a much later situation, far removed from (and in considerable contrast to) the near-extinction. Therefore, a modifier is inappropriate here; a separate clause, written in a different tense (as in the correct answer), is a better solution.

now with错:第一,修饰主语gyrfalcon,表示伴随survive的动作,不合逻辑 排除E
"
2.原句用分号,两个句子,时态不同,前句现在完成时:讲的是鸟从extinction中survive了,后句一般现在时now:补充说明 不仅活下来了,还变成了5倍
D,E 改成with伴随状语,没有写成分号两个句子好。
3.now with错:第一,修饰主语gyrfalcon,表示伴随survive的动作,不合逻辑
第二,前句有with extinction,这里再用with,容易让人产生两者平行的歧义
重点:
1.numbers用greater不用more
2.主语单数用 its 不是they their
cd中they无指代
e如果用with会发现,这句话没说完,后面还缺了一部分,不可以做伴随状语
伴随状语概念:在句中,句首,句末的分词短语,从句主语等于主句主语
D E 状从修饰错误
不可以,with可以引导独立主格,with还有很多种正确的用法,在英语里是非常常用的。E错在不应该用独立主格,就算没有with它也是错的,同时没有说是谁的numbers。登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
