1,spend: sb spend sth; cost: sth cost sb.... fficeffice" />

Lack 就像spend,主语永远是人。Lacking: be lacking in是一个固定搭配，主语也永远是人。

选项A把lack当成cost来用，肯定错。

2,make up, make up for都有弥补的意思

The passion with which he played the music more than made up what he lacked in technical skill. 为了强调宾语，将主动句的宾语提前作为被动句的主语。

3,More than=highly，very much等等表示较大程度的程度副词,在这里是个程度副词短语，注意！！than在这里绝对不是一个介词。

例如：我们可以说 He is deeply(greatly/highly/not a little/no end/all too/ever so/more than) impressed. 不管用哪一个都表示 He is deeply impressed.

ETS总是用这些很拽的词来减慢我们的阅读速度，但是只要我们熟悉了这些所谓正式用语(当然需要很长时间的积累)，这种句子其实并不可怕。

大全979：

        The failing of the book lies not in a lack of attention to scientific detail but in the depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world with emotional overtones that reduce the credibility of the work.

(A) the depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world with emotional overtones that

(B) fact that it depicts marine world scenes of life and death as having emotional overtones that

(C) depiction of scenes of life and death in the marine world, whose emotional overtones

(D) depiction of marine world scenes of life and death, which have emotional overtones and thus（A）

(E) fact that if depicts scenes of life and death in the marine world, whose emotional overtones

这题中的in a lack of sth.是不是lack的另外一种用法？谢谢！

因为make up和make up for两个都是多义词，在本题的语境中语义相近，所以此题主要考查的应该不是他们的区别。

我觉得还是这个what和whatever里面的文章。除了语气上后者强，还有什么玄机呢？比如说后者在语义上是否发生了变化？用这个more than强调之后，是应该要求用whatever也引导一个强调语气与之配合呢，还是有了more than就不用再强调了呢？

请教。
