题目分析:
原句中出现了比较词like,其连接的两者需要保持对等,仅凭此点可以排除(C)(D)(E)。(A)(B)两个选项的考点识别有一定难度。
选项分析:
A选项:比较对象没有问题,即,用“农场”和“鸟”比较(此两者均在消失)。但是,本选项中的vanishing in the northeastern United States是现在分词短语,做the sandpipers的定语。这会使得the sandpipers成为is a result of residential and industrial development的主语,但在逻辑上,一种鸟不可能是一个结果,只能说在鸟身上发生的某些事情是一个结果。
B选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。as a result of residential and industrial development做the bird itself is vanishing in the northeastern United States的状语。
C选项:未划线部分出现的like身后的内容和划线部分的主语不匹配,the grassy fields and old pastures不能和主语从句(发生在鸟身上的事)对比。
D选项:like连接的对比对象不对等,不能用the grassy fields and old pastures和sandpipers' vanishing比较。
E选项:like连接的对比对象不对等,不能用the grassy fields and old pastures和sandpipers' vanishing比较;整个句子没有谓语动词。
比较对象(√):用“农场”和“鸟”比较(此两者均在消失)。

就像高地鹬在阿根廷潘帕斯越冬后于 5 月返回时需要觅食和筑巢的【草地和古老牧场】一样,
【这种鸟】本身正在美国东北部消失,由于住宅和工业发展以及耕作方式的变化。
选项A(×):主系表
【the sandpipers 鸟】vanishing in the northeastern United States【is是】 a 【result结果】 of residential and industrial development and of changes in farming practices.
