His studies of ice-polished rocks in his Alpine homeland, far outside the range of present-day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1837 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas.
70. his studies of ice-polished rocks in his alpine homeland, far outside the range of present-day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1837 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas. A. in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas. B. in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas. C. when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate D. when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas. E. when great ice sheets existed in areas now that are temperate. 为什么答案 D 中的过去完成时态不行呢?很明显,那个ICE SHEETS 存在的时间是LOUIS AGASSIZ在1837 的propose之前啊?
73. Combining enormous physical strength with higher intelligence, the Neandethals appear as equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could put in their path, but their relatively sudden disappearance during the Paleolithic era indicates that an inability to adapt to some environmental change led to their extinction. A. appear as equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could put in their path. B. appear to have been equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their path, C. appear as equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their paths. D. appeared as equipped to face any obstacle the environment could put in their paths. E. appeared to have been equipped for facing any obstacle the environment could put in their path. Appear to 和appear as有什么具体区别么?莫非只能从equip的时态来判定?
74. A 1972 agreement between Canada and the United States reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump into the Great Lakes. A. reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump B. reduced the phosphate amount that municipalities had been dumping C. reduces the phosphate amount of municipalities have been allowed to dump D. reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump E. reduces the amount of phosphates allowed for dumping by municipalities. 这个题目,我也可以这样理解:那个1972年的agreement停止了以前(1972年以前)的政府允许DUMPING,那么那个政府的had been allowed就发生在1972年以前,所以就应该用过去完成时态啊?我的理解错误在哪呢?
72题。。如果没有继续dump的话,有什么好reduce的呢?直接说禁止dump就好了嘛。 reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump过去已经倒掉了,是个已经发生过的事实,如何去reduce?要reduce只能reduce未来dump的量。
