176. As a result of the ground-breaking work of Barbara McClintock, many scientists now believe that all of the information encoded in 50.000 to 100.000 of the different genes found in a human cell are contained in merely three percent of the cell's DNA.
(A)    50,000 to 100,000 of the different genes found in a human cell are contained in merely
(B)    50,000 to 100,000 of the human cell's different genes are contained in a mere
(C)    the 50,000 to 100,000 different genes found in human cells are contained in merely
(D)    50,000 to 100,000 of human cells' different genes is contained in merely
(E)    the 50,000 to 100,000 different genes found in a human cell is contained in a mere
This question poses two problems: subject-verb agreement and accuracy of expression. Choice E, the best answer, states the matter clearly and grammatically. The subject, all of the information, must be taken as singular because the mass noun information is singular. Choices A, B, and C all mistake the number of the subject and incorrectly use the plural verb are contained. A, B, and D do not make it clear whether 50,000 to 100,000 represents all or a fraction of the genes in a cell. C and D, by referring to cells in the plural, do not make it clear whether the number mentioned is to be found in each individual cell or in a collection of cells.
本题的答案我看着有些晕
我只能看出用is, E我选了
我得问题是这样的
1. 50,000为何前面要加the
2. different genes found in a human cell 为何优于human cells' different genes
3. in a mere 为何优于in merely,          mere此处修饰什么来判别的
谢谢!

呵呵，刚在一个贴子里提醒别人注意这个hte
1. the 表明人体细胞的基因不止这么多，所以不应该用泛指
2. cell 是无生命的（只有动物和人算有生命，不要抬杠哦），所以不应该用's

2. 是不是human cells' different genes 可以理解为“不同细胞有不同的基因”从而和原意有些差距？
3.同问。还是都可以，主要差别如jerry所说，是the？

atongmu · 发表于 2003-9-10 17:37:00

再问merely和a mere有没有区别？

那為什麼題目上用了 cell's DNA

看的晕晕的,哪位NN再解释一下??谢谢

不是nn，但觉得其实OG的解释应该是classic的了。
A, B, and D do not make it clear whether 50,000 to 100,000 represents all or a fraction of the genes in a cell.
A,B, and D前面都没有the，所以不知道这5-10万个dd是不是特指cell中的全部or只是其中的一部分。换句话说，加了the，就说明这5-10万个genes是一个cell的全部genes了。
C and D, by referring to cells in the plural, do not make it clear whether the number mentioned is to be found in each individual cell or in a collection of cells.
c and d中cells是复数，所以不知道这么多的genes是一个cell中的含量还是一堆cells的含量。
而答案E则非常清晰，没有任何歧意：一个cell中的5－10万个genes。

154. In 1791 Robert Carter III, one of the wealthiest plantation owners in Virginia, stunned his family, friends, and neighbors by filing a deed of emancipation, setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered his property.
(A) setting free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered
(B) setting free more than the 500 slaves legally considered as
(C) and set free more than 500 slaves, who were legally considered as
(D) and set free more than the 500 slaves who were legally considered
(E) and he set free the more than 500 slaves who were legally considered as

这个the是满有趣的,在og154里也是

我觉得这个cell不是这样理解的。

我的理解是，因为划线部分后面用的是“the cell's"——单数，所以，划线部分对应的要用单数。

不知道这个理解对不对，大家指正。

关于mere,我google了一下，merely +数词是可以的，mere 也可以用，但是要用a mere + 数词。

我觉得D.E最大的区别是主语的意思不一致

(D)    （50,000    to    100,000    **of***    human    cells'    different    genes）    is    contained    in    merely

three    percent    of    the    cell's    DNA.

(E)    （the    50,000    to    100,000    different    genes    found    in    a    human    cell）    is    contained

    in    a    mere three    percent    of    the    cell's    DNA.

D就相当于说：这棵树结的果子（*中*）有50个是梨

（suggest可能还有50个是苹果, 这棵树不一定结了几个果子）

E就相当于说：这棵树结的50个果子是梨。

（suggest这棵树只结了50个果子）



不知道对否
