73.   (28457-!-item-!-188;#058&003634)

Evolutionary psychology holds that the human mind is not a "blank slate," but instead that it comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed as a way of solving specific problems human ancestors faced millions of years ago.

(A) the human mind is not a "blank slate," but instead that it comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed as a way of solving

(B) the human mind is not a "blank slate" but instead comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed to solve

(C) the human mind, instead of a "blank slate," it comprises specialized mental mechanisms that have been developed to solve

(D) rather than it being a "blank slate," the human mind comprises specialized mental mechanisms that have been developed as a way of solving

(E) rather than the human mind's being a "blank slate," that it comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed as a way of solving

排除法选了B，但是不解的是，B中not...but...结构，语法结构不平行。前者是名词“a blank slate”，后者是“comprises XXX" 这如何解释？

Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored due to their enhancement of reproduction or survival, but that they are simply random by-products of other evolutionary developments.

(A) due to their enhancement of reproduction or survival, but that they are

(B) due to the reproduction or survival they enhance, but they are

(C) because they enhance reproduction or survival, but

(D) because they enhance reproduction or survival, but are

(E) because of enhancing reproduction or survival, but are

答案是D 我选了C 依据还是Not but结构的对称性 D在我看来不符合啊

73.这真是极其特殊的题，前后动词不同，如果省去后面的动词或用系动词表达，追求形式上的对称，势必无法完整表达原意，我见过一些对称，形式上不对称，意义对称，所以结构是为意思服务的

74. 就不太一样，主句里有that，后面的but不是和that对称，而是从句中的are not ，所以为了区分，可以补加助动词

第一题的正确答案不会导致the human mind is not a "blank slate" but （is） instead comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed to solve

的问题吗？

第二题：为什么不是 not the product of...but the by-product, "favored xxxxxxxxxxx"做插入语？

(B) the human mind is not a "blank slate" but instead comprises specialized mental mechanisms that were developed to solve

NOT否定is，是前面的系动词，后面BUT修饰comprise也是动词

我是这样理解的

not but应该是连接紧凑的时候才不补充are把

这个我也说不通了，用语感把多读几遍

唉。。语感不对。。。

怎么也觉得not the product of...but the by-product, "favored xxxxxxxxxxx"做插入语 很完美：（

Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored due to their enhancement of reproduction or survival, but that they are simply random by-products of other evolutionary developments.

原句两块绿色：意思是说
            that but对称

Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored because they enhance reproduction or survival, but are
            simply random by-products of other evolutionary developments.

But后不是加助动词are，而是省了相同的主语many biological traits

这样可以比较清晰的看出：not but不对称；而是
            that but对称

Favored作定语

实在惭愧，我没什么语言天赋，看半天也没看出来
