158. With only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.

(A)  With

(B)   As

(C)  Being

(D)  Despite having

(E)   Although accounting for

The word or phrase that begins this sentence should establish the contrast between the size of the United States population and the activities of its citizens. Choices D and E are the only ones that establish the contrast, and only E, the best choice, expresses meaning accurately with the phrase Although accounting for. With in choice A and Despite having in choice D confusingly suggest that United States citizens somehow possess, rather than constitute, 5 percent of the world's population. Choices B and C lose the contrast between the opening phrase and the main clause, and As is unidiomatic in B.

逻辑搭配:“United States citizens”只能组成5 percent of the world's population”,不能拥有;A和D都是“拥有”的意思,故错。

我的问题是,这种逻辑搭配意思,怎样才能在做题中建立?


我只有看过答案方知应该是这样的逻辑意思,可我做题时没有这种感觉,我如何训练自己?

Although 是连词,是不是一定要接一个句子(虽然主语可能省略)?
作者: nyc_cfa    时间: 2005-8-14 02:25

刘振民里面说when, while, if though/although, until, once, whether, unless, no matter what等引导的从句中,谓语动词为be,主从句主语一致,经常省略主语和be.


比如:


12.   Although partially destroyed, the archaeologists were able to infer from what remained of the inscription that the priest Zonainos was buried in the crypt.


(A) Although partially destroyed, the archaeologists were able to infer


(B) Although partially destroyed, the archaeologists had inferred


(C) Although it had been partially destroyed, the archaeologists were able to infer


(D) Partially destroyed though it had been, the archaeologists had been able to inferC


(E) Destroyed partially, the archaeologists were able to infer


但是这道题我觉得不符合这个条件阿。american citizens are accounted for还是are accounting for?

应该是are accounting for


by google: Hybrids to account for 25% of Toyota sales by 2010.
