考题讲解

题目分析:
本题中的比较词为like,在(A)(E)中,具有like关系的两者是“人类与其他温血动物(humans and other warm-blooded animals)”和“研究员(researchers)”;在(B)(C)(D)中,对比的两者为“人类与其他温血动物(humans and other warm-blooded animals)”和“莲花(the lotus)”。

选项分析:

A选项:逻辑上,真正具有相似(like)特点的两者应该是“人类与其他温血动物(humans and other warm-blooded animals)”和“莲花(the lotus)”,而不是“人类与其他温血动物”和“研究员(researchers)”。

B选项:like是介词(介词后不能接句子),其后接的内容不能出现谓语动词,必须改为:
as humans and other warm-blooded animals do。

C选项:首先, the remarkable ability身后的定语应由介词短语 of keeping its temperature改为不定式短语to keep its temperature。这点考查了不定式和ing的区别。用之于本题,主句“莲花拥有能力”的发生会直接影响“保证恒温”这个事件的发生与否。如果莲花没有能力,自然保证恒温这件事就不发生。因此,ability身后的定语必须用不定式的形式。其次,as humans and other warm-blooded animals can需改为as humans and other warm-blooded animals do。

D选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项:本选项几乎具有所有错误选项的错误,实在是错的没边了。
