GWD 21-39


Almost like clones in their similarity to one another, the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease.


A.    the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease


B.      the cheetah species is especially vulnerable to disease because of its homogeneity

偶认为ACD都犯了比较对象不合逻辑的问题诶:  homogeneity 和 clones不能比吧

那B为什么不对呢?

Almost like clones in their similarity to one another, the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease.


clones similar to one another, 可以看出,clones 不能和homegeneity 对应,而应当与species 对应。


B

选E


clones是克隆的东西,个体概念,B中的species 是整体概念,所以不对


E中的members是个体概念,可以和clones比较


My two cents...

their homogeneity


总感觉这种[their homogeneity]修饰不合理,好像某一物种的homogeneity[its homogeneity

]更合适吧


??请大家讨论

A,C,D,是完全不能和CLONES对比的排除候剩下B,E.


由于B项看见ITS无指代,因为SPECIES是复数.而E中NUMBERS(PL)正好与CLONES(PL)对比.SO......

支持E。但是FELIX说SPECIES是复数是错误的。SPECIES单复数形式一样,所以这个不是判断标准。

这题BE里面选那个呢?

B没有错误啊, species单复数一样的话,理解成单数没关系吧

E里面有个their, 是不是跟前面的their有矛盾呢?

求助!!!!!

在google上两篇文章里找到的

1.The main threats to cheetahs are genetic homogeneity, other large carnivores, and humans. Both captive and free-ranging cheetahs exhibit a very high level of DNA homogeneity, similar to that of inbred strains of mice. The cheetah appears to have suffered a series of severe population bottlenecks in its history, with the first and most significant occurring possibly during the late Pleistocene extinctions, around 10,000 years ago. It has been argued that lack of genetic diversity may render the cheetah an exceptionally vulnerable species.
 

2.He suggested thatt this genetic homogeneity also made this species unusually susceptible to disease.

认为应该选C

我也同意选C,因为在这里clone和homogeneity是同性质的比较,而且species可以理解为单数

可是在C里面的it会不会指代不清呢?

e 选项中的their 指代了两个名词。

我同意你得看法.

首先,没有人规定, clones是复数,后面一定要跟一个members复数对应.甚至不一定要同类事物,只要找出比较的共同点就算OK. 大家还记得,GWD前面有道题目,把草原和birds比较呢,比较他们的vanishing...

区区单复数是否一致.区区整体个体什么的区别,都是舍本逐末吧.还是要看整体意思.基于这一点,B不应该被首先排除.

A中那个THEM指代clones吧?整句话太诡异了. speices的一致性又影响clones了.

E,正如这位mm提到的,2个their指代不一致把?

C, it指代不清楚.可能指代homogeneity 也可能指代 species

D,涉及到homogeneity和clones的含义比较.

只有B

大家都进了惯性思维的误区!

出题者利用我们找规律的习惯思维挖了个陷阱,不是所有like都是拿来做等价事物间对比的。

like还有形容词用法,which is the case here.

从意思跟逻辑出发,此句可以更清晰地改写成:

Members of the cheetah species, almost like clones in their similarity to one another, are especially vulnerable to disease because of homogeneity.

所以E最对

如果理解clones为被克隆出来的生物(生物与生物之间相似),那么就应该指这种相似性与cheetah种类的生物之间的同质性相似。似乎E是比较合理的。

我觉得B的关键点不在于species的单复数形式,而是这个单词的词义, 根据有道柯林斯英汉双解的解释:“A species is a class of plants or animals whose members have the same main characteristics and are able to breed with each other”。是物种的意思,这里跟clones这样的个体含义是无法形成类比的,就是所谓的不是同一个kind的内容。
再看OG16,P772, 对于B选项的解释,“the resulting sentence opens with a reference to a plurality of individuals (to one another) , but confusingly identifies this with a single (collective)entity, a species."
Therefore, species 是单数,its指代的是species,这里不行的原因是因为它是个single (collective)entity。

看了那么多解释,这题我先开始选择了B,但是后来发现其实B是错误的,E是对的,然后这题很容易就因为like,把E个排除了,真的觉得考试的时候碰到这种类型的题目会中招。
首先,我觉得B错的理由是the cheetah species is especially vulnerable to disease because of its homogeneity,homogeneity的意思是:the quality or state of being all the same or all of the same kind. 所以用单数its来说一个物种的homogeneity是不太好的。their是更加好的说法,而且前面的like 里面也是复数,compare one another,其次就是这个its有指代disease的嫌疑,所以E是更加好的选项

贴一段外网的解释,很有道理,从句意的角度解释了为什么选E

Here our modifier is "Almost like clones in their similarity to one another". So what does "their" refer to? What are so similar that they are "like clones"? Based on the sentence, it would make the most sense for "their" to refer to "cheetahs" - cheetahs are so similar (or "homogenous") that they are vulnerable to disease. So we want to find a sentence that puts "cheetahs" closest to our modifier.
We can rule out A, C, and D because "homogeneity" is not at all what we want - homogeneity is almost like clones? Doesn't make sense.

B is a little trickier. Here, "the cheetah species" is our subject. However, "The cheetah species is almost like clones in their similarity to one another" doesn't actually make much sense. We see that "species" is singular (it can be plural, but here it's followed by singular verb "is"), but the pronoun in the modifier, "their", is plural. It also isn't clear what "one another" would be? The species is like clones with other species of animal? Other species of cheetah? So we can rule out B.

This leaves us with E, which tells us that members of the cheetah species are almost like clones.
