Unlike the short flights of the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, which carried sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries, a permanently orbiting space station will have to generate its own electricity.

B: the shuttle and earlier spacecraft, with sufficient enough power in fuel cells and batteries for their short flights

D the shuttle and earler spacecraft, which were capable of carrying sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries for their short flights.

我觉得with在B中是不对的. 给人感觉它有修饰obiting space 的歧义.

我觉得人也可以用be capable of doing, 物也可以用be able to. 有时侯很难从这一点判断对错.

with sufficient enough power in fuel cells and batteries for their short flights

A 中的their决定了with修饰的不可能是obiting space station. 所以没有歧义.

Lilyzy, 我记得og多次提到物体不能用be able to修饰. 人是肯定能用be capable of 修饰的,但我不知道物体能不能. 之所以问这题,还有个原因如下:

gwd11-33题,在A E中大家举棋不定, 我在想如果be capable / have capabiltiy不能修饰物体的话, 就能顺利排除e了.

After more than four decades of research and development, a new type of jet engine is being tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help boost cargoes into space at significantly lower costs than current methods permit.

(A) tested that could eventually propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two or help

(E) tested, and it could eventually have the capability to propel aircraft anywhere in the world within two hours or help

我觉得Windweed提出了很好的一点. 可是我觉得, with还是会有歧义. 而且their 没有clear referent. their完全可以指代cells and batteries.

好像有enough的答案一般都不对（OG有出现enough,不过在未划线部分）。

be able to（人）优于be capable of（多用于人）; be able to be done必错。

can和be able to, be capable of, have ability to, have capability to等意思都一样，同时出现就是重复，必错。

感觉B的with在这里没有歧义，判断代词指代最重要的是逻辑意思，这里的逻辑意思很清晰，their指代的就是前面的the shuttle and earlier spacecraft

I just looked up the dictionary "Collins" ,which says " IF a person or a thing is capable of doing something, they have the ability to do it." ;

agree with引导的成分几乎都错，刚才在大全里也查了一下，得到了验证

但是关于their的指代没有觉得有问题，逻辑意思完全可以判断是指spacecraft, 而且D选项中也用到their，如果有问题，这道题目就没有答案了

D.the shuttle and earlier spacecraft,which were capable of carrying sufficient power in fuel cells and batteries

1。 with前面没有逗号，直接限定修饰中心词，一般不会引起歧义

og152. When the technique known as gene-splicing was invented in the early 1970's, it was feared that scientists might inadvertently create an "Andromeda strain," a microbe never before seen on Earth that might escape from the laboratory and it would kill vast numbers of humans who would have no natural defenses against it.

(A) it would kill vast numbers of humans who would have no natural defenses against it

这里with修饰没有歧义，但是限定修饰却出现问题。这里应该用who才对

2。with前面有逗号，就不一定修饰谁了，尤其是在句尾一定小心。所以出现with谨慎一下好

179. During the early years of European settlement on a continent that was viewed as "wilderness" by the newcomers. Native Americans, intimately knowing the ecology of the land. were a help in the rescuing of many Pilgrims and pioneers from hardship, or even death.

(A) Native Americans, intimately knowing the ecology of the land, were a help in the rescuing of

(B) Native Americans knew the ecology and the land intimately and this enabled them to help in the rescue of

(D)
having intimate knowledge of the ecology of the land. Native Americans helped the rescue of

(E) knowing intimately the ecology of the land, Native Americans helped to rescue

讨论一下吧哈

1。 with前面没有逗号，直接限定修饰中心词，一般不会引起歧义

(A) it would kill vast numbers of humans who would have no natural defenses against it

(B) it might kill vast numbers of humans with no natural defenses against it

(D)
kill vast numbers of humans who have no natural defenses against them

(E) kill vast numbers of humans with no natural defenses against them

这里with修饰没有歧义，但是限定修饰却出现问题。这里应该用who才对

2。with前面有逗号，就不一定修饰谁了，尤其是在句尾一定小心。所以出现with谨慎一下好

但是这道题就不会歧义

(A) Native Americans, intimately knowing the ecology of the land, were a help in the rescuing of

(B) Native Americans knew the ecology and the land intimately and this enabled them to help in the rescue of

(D)
having intimate knowledge of the ecology of the land. Native Americans helped the rescue of

(E) knowing intimately the ecology of the land, Native Americans helped to rescue

with只能修饰NA

请问这道题选项D里为什么用were而不是用was? 急死了,问了半天了

with似乎也有可能是用来修饰前面的shuttle和spacecraft的，但是根据答案和句子本身推断，which后的一串应该是修饰spacecraft的吧
