标题: three pp grammar answers and questions [打印本页] 作者: bbbbbb 时间: 2003-7-21 14:00 标题: three pp grammar answers and questions I found these three answers which are from nicolas in the early post, and i have some different opinions about his answers. I'm posting those tests here and want to know others' opinion. Thanks.
110. A drought is (a period of) dry weather that (lasts too long) enough (to cause) a (serious imbalance) in the water cycle. B怎么改啊 ？
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nicolas:lasts too long ----> lasts so long , 如果是too...to...结构是指"太...以至于不...", 根据题意是指干燥的天气持续很长时间"而"产生一个严重的水循环的不平衡,这显然不是too...to...结构.
i think your revision is not correct, "last too long" should be "last long", because there is a "enough" after "long", i think "last long enough" is better than "last so long enough"
119.( Although) copper was hammered into tools and ornaments (by) some early inhabitants of North America, the smelting and casting of copper (were) unknown (between) them. 不知道D怎么错啦？
------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas:between ----> for , 这题类似第90题, be known for , be unknown for
I think "between" should be changed to "among". Between indicate two things, but "them" refers to " some early inhabitants of North America".
132. The concept (of folk) music, (though) generally understood by (most) people, has (not) simple, widely accepted definition. D是改成no吧
------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas:not ----> not a, 主语The concept,谓语动词has均为单数
why "has no simple, widely accepted definition" is not correct?
