885 sec 1-22

这题我每次做都会对答案A有些感觉怪怪的。

22.    Although films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills, in reality these gregarious creatures live in stable groups that occupy the same territory for long periods.
(A) films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills
(B) in films about the American West coyotes are depicted to be solitary animals that howl mournfully on the tops of distant hills
(C) coyotes are depicted as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills in films about the American West
(D) films about the American West depict coyotes as if they were solitary, mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills
(E) films about the American West depict coyotes to be solitary and mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills

C除了是用被动语态外,它在对称上我觉得比A更好。Although X are ... in films,  in reality X live....(当然,如果把选项C中的in films about the American West 放在句首则更好了)。

为什么不选C呢?ETS也并没有完全否定被动语态,我理解的是在被动相比主动显得繁杂时ETS不支持被动。

C的"hills in films"好象有歧义吧

同意,c有问题,虽然a读起来感觉也不很顺,但a是5个答案中较好的一个

我认为,1。再gmat 中,通常有这样的形式although x ...., y....
即主句与从句的主语不同,2。如果coyotas为主语的话,那后面就不应该用these creatures,而用they 才够简洁

想问一问depict的用法,film可以作depict的主语吗?想象中好象应该是“某人描述。。。”

可以。
还可以比如 a book depicts-----------

i think C is not right as it changed the meaning of the origional sentence by using 'in film ...'. in fact, it is 'the films about American west' that depict coyotes ...

那明白了,如果depict可以这样用法,那还是答案A更好一些。

改变句子重心,一个强调the film,一个强调coyotes,这样不妥。
