66. The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are
closely related to whales and in fact include the animal
known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30
feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting
pods.
(A) include the animal known as the killer whale,
which can grow to be 30 feet long and is
(B) include the animal known as the killer whale,
growing as big as 30 feet long and
(C) include the animal known as the killer whale,
growing up to 30 feet long and being
(D) includes the animal known as the killer whale,
which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is
(E) includes the animal known as the killer whale,
which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is







OG解释Th e subject of the sentence is the 32 species that
make up the dolphin family, and the sentence makes
two claims about them: Th ey are closely related,
and they include the killer whale. Th e relative
pronoun which restates the object of the second
verb, reintroducing the animal known as the killer
whale as the subject of a relative clause followed
by two parallel verbs: can grow and is famous.
A Correct. In this concise sentence, verbs
agree in number with their subjects and the
relative pronoun which indicates clearly that
the animal known as the killer whale is the
subject of the verbs in the dependent clause.
B Changing the verb to the participial growing
introduces ambiguity, because it could refer
back to the subject of the sentence (32
species).
C Th e participial growing might refer to the
32 species; the introduction of being is
unnecessarily wordy and adds nothing in
terms of meaning.
D as big as is an idiomatically incorrect





我的问题：为什么B,C选项GROWING就是可能修饰32species呢？而不是the animal，而A中就一定是修饰THE ANIMAL呢？？望各位大牛赐教

谢谢楼上两位NN指点，看来我还差得远了。。。呵呵

本题的考点在于：由主语中心词spieces首先排除D,E选项。
C:中的being多余
B：试图用growing,,,,做伴随状语修饰主句，但此状语从句中出现and,表示并列，但是并列部分不平行，所以排除。
A：正解，which引导的从句中can分句可以和be 分句并列。

A当中没有使用现在分词，而用的是which引导的非限定性定语从句。指代the killer whale，而且 can grow和is famous平行
B/C当中的growing...是分词短语，当用到分词短语的时候，一定要注意的是逻辑主语的问题。那么B/C选项当中的growing的逻辑主语，既可能是animal，也有可能是the killer whale

所以这个题目选择A，有解释不当之处，请NN指正
