标题: Season 3——manhattan 59 （答案已贴出） [打印本页] 作者: sanlingjie 时间: 2011-11-25 22:21 标题: Season 3——manhattan 59 （答案已贴出） 各位，坚持啊！ 59. Disease, pollution, and overfishing have devastated the bountiful oyster harvests that once sustained the residents of the Chesapeake Bay area.
A of the Chesapeake Bay area
B in and around the Chesapeake Bay
C of the Chesapeake Bay
D around the vicinity of the Chesapeake Bay
E living in and around the Chesapeake Bay area
The given sentence is correct as written. "The residents of" a certain place is the proper idiom. It is also correct to refer to the residents living in the "area" of the Chesapeake Bay, rather than in the Bay itself.
(A) CORRECT. The original sentence is correct as written.
(B) This answer incorrectly implies that the residents are living "in" the Bay itself as well as the area surrounding the Bay. (Note that if we were talking about residents with houseboats or the like, they would be living "on" the Bay, not "in" it.)
(C) This answer implies that the residents reside only in or on the Bay itself rather than near it or around the Bay area; though there may be some residents living on boats, the meaning of the original sentence indicates it was not intended to be limited to those living in or on the Bay. In addition, logic dictates that the residents cannot live "in" the Bay.
(D) "Around the vicinity of" is both redundant and the incorrect idiom; to live in the "vicinity" of a landmark already includes the area "around" that landmark. The correct idiom is "in the vicinity of."
(E) "Living in and around the Chesapeake Bay area" is redundant; living "in" a particular "area" implies living "around" that same area.

59. Disease, pollution, and overfishing have devastated the bountiful oyster harvests that once sustained the residents of the Chesapeake Bay area.
A of the Chesapeake Bay area 正确 B in and around the Chesapeake Bay in and around不如area简洁
C of the Chesapeake Bay 少了area愿意改变。也可以说居民居住范围缩小
D around the vicinity of the Chesapeake Bay around本身就有在什么周围的意思，around the vicinity语意重复
E living in and around the Chesapeake Bay area in and around与area语意重复
什么地方的居民的正确表达应该是the residents of XXX，加上area通常不仅限于XXX区域内，还包括周围作者: winghyy 时间: 2011-11-26 11:21
totally lost...
选A作者: vanchaser 时间: 2011-11-26 14:06
我选A。
C选项缩小了范围。 D选项around the vicinity意思是，在临近Bay附近的区域，改变了原意。 E选项living多余了，且in and around和area意思重复。
感觉悬赏令的题和实战的挺像的。作者: viviyl 时间: 2011-11-28 17:11
