243.      (32358-!-item-!-188;#058&006479)         (GWD-10-Q8)



Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal with all other pollutants.

A. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal

B. an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's capability of dealing

C. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing

D. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal

E. a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system's ability to deal

OA: A.



个人觉得从especially and specially, 还有不改变原文意思的原则，选A.

但是不知道是否可以通过ability and capability来解题。主要是A和D的选项。

查字典，觉得好像ability and capability都一样。请牛人指教。

顶一下 'S的问题很烦人

对了  我还想问大家  如果答案在下面两个选 选谁阿?
A. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system's ability to deal

C an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system dealing

非生物加's 错误  不是一个很重要快捷的筛选答案的标准么?
当然如果细细研究 可以根据 diminish the capability of xxx to do sth  中 to do 是修饰 diminish 还是capability 的歧义得出  以及 固定搭配 abblility to do sth 得出正确答案
我想问的是 在考试中 非生物加's 错误 我们怎么对待这个优先级的问题  是最先考虑 还是最后考虑 (当然如果你的回答是题目做多了 靠感觉 那我也无语了)

capability in sth./to do sth./of doing sth.  不存在capability in doing sth？

一般生物's ability / capability
非生物则the ability of Sth.

Here is my question.
respiratory system 属于生物吗？

首先specially & especially的意思就不一样吧，副词意思没大问题的话应该不能随便改的，直接秒杀DE
cap..是才干才能。。。ab...是能够。。
根据xdf ab...>cap...

查字典了
ability and capability都要接不定式，to do something..所以BC用的形式一个是of一个是in,不对，排除 。。。
D换了修饰词，与原意不同，排除

这里的ability和capability貌似还是有点区别的。 ability即able一般指有能力去做，但容易受客观条件影响，但capability即capable一般指有才干，是一种天生的属性，和自身特性有关。所以capability是一般是不会受到Sulfur dioxide影响的，所以C是不对的~

明白了。
