282 (After crude oil,natural gas is the United States second biggest fuel sourse and suppied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.)

D  Natural gas,the United States's second biggest fuel sourse after crude oil ,is supplied almost exclusively from reserves in North America.

答案是D.我觉得A 错在supplied 前没有加is ，前面的一个is 是个系动词，而后面的一个is是个助动词，性质不同，所以应该在suppiled前面补出一个is,如果将此题改成is done and done的形式，这里is就不用补出。你认为是这样吗？希望与大家一起讨论~

285 (Selling several hundred thousand copies in six month ,the publication of "Maple Leaf Rag" in 1899 was an instant hit,helping to establish Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer .)

D  "Maple Leaf Rag"was an instan hit:it helped established Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer ,published in 1899 and selling several hundred thousand copies in six months.

E  ublished in 1899, "Maple Leaf Rag" was an instant hit ,selling several hundred thousand copies in six month ;it helped established Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer.

此题的答案是E

我认为D错在published in 1899 and selling several hundred thousand copies in six months.的位置，放在那个位置好象是做it helped established 的伴随动作或结果，而其实应该是做"Maple Leaf Rag"was an instan hit的伴随动作，所以离它的修饰对象太远了，造成错误的。如果我将此选项改一下，改成："Maple Leaf Rag"was an instan hit，published in 1899 and selling several hundred thousand copies in six months；it helped established Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer 。我认为此答案是正确的了，你们认为呢？谢谢大家讨论！

301  St.John's,Newfoundand,lies in the same latitude as Paris ,France ,but in spring St.Jorn's （residents are less likely to be sitting at outdoor cafes than to be brancing themselves against arctic chills,shovling snow or seeking)shelter from a raging northeast storm.

D residents,instead of their  sitting outdoor cafes,they are more likely to brace themselves against acrctic chills ,shovel snow ,of seek

答案就是A 我却选择了D 因为我总感觉A中的被动语态很别扭，解释出来就是居民不太可能被呆在户外的咖啡馆里，比起被,,,,来说，被呆在感觉不合适吧，我却觉得be less likely to ding sth than to ding 更合适。请大家帮我指点，另外D 错在了哪里呢？

1. A不被动，而是动词不定势的进行时态。正如你所说，是be less likely to do sth.

我的一点个人意见：

2、我觉得原句改成："Maple Leaf Rag"was an instan hit，published in 1899 and selling several hundred thousand copies in six months；it helped established Scott Joplin as the preeminent ragtime composer “是可以的。但是如果在E答案存在的情况下，它不是最佳答案。因为published in 1899 从逻辑意思上讲是时间状语，你完全可以加上when;但是selling several hundred thousand copies in six months最好做伴随状语。他们在概念上并非完全对等，所以并列是不如分开的。

282、原句中and连接了主动和（残缺的）被动，语态不平行。同意smilinglanMM的“如果将此题改成is done and done的形式，这里is就不用补出。”
