划线部分是species前部分。
A.Because they can reproduce several times each year and produce large numbers of offspring, many insect species
B.Because of many insect species' ability of reproducing several times a year, along with producing large numbers of offspring, thus they
C.Because they can reproduce yearly several times, along with producing offspring in large numbers, so many insect species
D.Due to their capability to reproduce several times yearly and to produce large numbers of offspring, many insect species
E.Due to their ability of reproducing several times yearly and to produce offspring of large numbers, many insect species
答案选A，D为什么不对呢？作者: bonnie0715 时间: 2010-5-24 22:50
1.because 可以更好的表达因果关系，A是because后面整句话成为原因，导致many insect怎么怎么样。而D due to 意思是由于他们的能力，缺失了强烈的因果关系 2.D的平行也有歧义，第二个to是和due to 平行呢，还是和capability to平行呢 3.是capability of 不是capability to.作者: victorbj262 时间: 2010-5-29 11:31
感谢。1、2解释是对的。3呢？牛津字典显示capability to do sth/of doing sth 都是对的。
