Q39:

Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power, while in Germany it is just over 33 percent.

A. while in Germany it is just over 33 percent

B. compared to Germany, which uses just over 33 percent

C. whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced in Germany

D. whereas just over 33 percent of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany

E. compared with the energy from nuclear power in Germany, where it is just over 33 percent

答案D

我也选D, 但看到有人说C也不错, 请NN们指点

感觉从句意来说 D比C更平行

法国X的能源来自核电 而德国Y的能源来自核电

C的意思是法国X的能源来自核电 而德国核电占了Y比例

偶是选C的。主要因为未划线部分the energy produced in France与C选项中的the energy produced in Germany的完全对称。

而D选项中变成：nuclear power in Germany.

我選D

不選C的理由是，

C. whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced in Germany

變成nuclear power 是德國電力的33%，以ETS嚴謹的程度，nuclear power怎麼可能是33%的電力

要改也是改成the energy that nuclear power produced accounts for just over 33..... 才比較好

支持选D,

本身从对称的程度来看，D也比C更优

并且强烈支持agk99的关于account for的解释

longman的解释

account for something phrasal verb
1
to form a particular amount or part of something
Afro-Americans account for 12% of the US population.

来自OG的题目

158. With only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.

(A)  With

(B)   As

(C)  Being

(D)  Despite having

(E)   Although accounting for

The word or phrase that begins this sentence should establish the contrast between the size of the United States population and the activities of its citizens. Choices D and E are the only ones that establish the contrast, and only E, the best choice, expresses meaning accurately with the phrase Although accounting for. With in choice A and Despite having in choice D confusingly suggest that United States citizens somehow possess, rather than constitute, 5 percent of the world's population. Choices B and C lose the contrast between the opening phrase and the main clause, and As is unidiomatic in B.

account for 在这题没有错  

power that is used to provide heat, operate machines etc
nuclear/solar etc energy research into renewable energy sourcesthe world's energy resourcesenergy consumption

所以核能占了XXX的能源 意思合理可行

所以C的表达可行 只是不如D对称

但D 有严重的状语位置问题，象les 说得nuclear power in Germany， 是ETS之大忌

我恰恰认为就是因为nuclear power in Germany，D才更加正确。那么C的问题，nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced in Germany核能占德国能源产量的33%，这个核能是德国的，还是所有国家的核能？

这题句意上D最合理，从近期的JJ回顾上也可以看出这个趋势，当很难在作后两个答案之间选择的时候，还是选择那个句意最合理的选项。

D从句意上来说是最平行的，percent->power, percent->power。C后一句与前一句主语和宾语换了个，读起来不如d顺畅
