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)。
说说自己感想。
实际上,(A)在suffering from+xxxx上,没有语义错误。因为dwindling的食物资源是海洋生物正在suffer的原因也很合理。再者,(A)的错误应该是:result from是只能用在动词结构。result做名词的时候,是没有result from的用法的。
所以剩下(B)和(C)在根据语义和核心词,可以排除C,选(B)。
(D)和(E)一般看到就知道可以say byebye
