Reptiles, by drawing their body heat directly from the Sun rather than burning calories to generate it, can survive on ten percent of the nourishment that a mammal of similar size would normally require
A: rather than burning calories to generate it
B: rather than the generation of body heat by burning calories
C: and not from generating it by burning calories
D: instead of by burning calories for generating it
E: instead of body heat generated by burning calories
看了以前的讨论,似乎没有得出答案,大家指出的错误如下:
A burning前应该有by平行, it无指代对象
B 不平行
C不平行,并且and not 不常用
D it 有问题
E 根本改变了原句意思
请教大家的想法?
第一次跟在携隐JJ之后回贴~~
呵呵,水一个~
B, it can refer to body heat since there are no other possibly confusion
D 为什么不可以?
D: instead of by burning calories for generating it
是不是如果改成: instead of by burning calories to generate it
偶觉得选A么
rather than优于instead of!
rather than 后面省略了by而已阿
so how do you explain "it" in A?
there is no reference of "it" .. i think
it凭什么跳过sun指代body heat?
我觉得此题选E。
首先drawing和burning不平行,即使加上by。buring calories...明显在逻辑层次上应该和from the sun平行,作为drawing their body heat的两种方式。这题就跟prep1-1那道渔民养鱼题一样,不能乱平行。再者平行结构中介词(by)是不应该被省略的。所以A必错。
其次,it的指代有歧义,因此BE选项补出了body heat,说明这是一个考点。
再次,如果有人说E中instead of有连接the sun和body heat的歧义,只能说明对instead of的用法还不理解。这里没有from就证明比较的对象是their body heat和body heat。
instead of作为介词短语除了可接名词、代词和动名词,还可接形容词、副词、动词、不定式、介词短语和从句。例如:He often reads books in his room instead of newspapers.
当接介词短语的时候是不能省略介词的,否则会产生比较对象的歧义。例如:He often reads books in his room instead of in the library.
本题又是一道关于比较结构中的省略问题,不清楚的地方请参考crowkiller的比较总结贴。
up
答案给的A哈,我选的E
A里那个it看着不舒服.如果it指的是body heat,那E的表达不是更准确么?
E错在哪呢?
请大家解答.
可我怎么觉得A实际上不平行呢?形式上逻辑上是不平行的
by drawing their body heat directly from the Sun 位置的平行表现为 增加体温从太阳那
A. rather than burning calories to generate it 表现为 燃烧卡罗里来产生热量
这个逻辑结构明显与前半段不平行。it指代不清.如果要按平行推的话,最多it只能指代the SUN,但句意不对
反而论平行D倒是比较像,除了for不太好。
请牛牛分析下吧
