个人观点啊,
第一题我做过,我是这样选对的:A believed to be 修饰了wingspan 显然和后面的creature 不一致
B that貌似有点指代不明啊,不知道说的是前面的现象呢还是什么,而且和C选项中的完成事态相比,这个一般现在时与从句the world has ever seen不对应,要用be believed to have been 因为这种恐龙是迄今为止世界上见过的最大的,而且这种恐龙已经灭绝了,现在不存在了,只能用完成时
C 对的,it指前面的那只恐龙。
D 很显然不对,如果which指代前面那只恐龙,那it 就有点不知所云,好像是重复累赘了
E 时态问题可能不容易察觉的,但是这边很明显的,which是指代那个,如果指代那只恐龙,是不是属于遥远指代,如果是指代wingspan,意思就不清楚了
第二题,你看ABC 选项中的the numbers of是不符合习惯用法的,肯定要排除的,至于要不要用by 我也有点混淆。。。
A economic health 直接跟five years ago 比肯定是不可以的,东西怎么能和时间比呢?只能说是现在的经济健康跟五年前的相比啊
多谢!!!明了了:)
