43. Laos has a land area about the same as Great Britain
but only four million in population, where many are
members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually
inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.
(A) about the same as Great Britain but only four
million in population, where many
(B) of about the same size as Great Britain is, but in
Laos there is a population of only four million,
and many
(C) that is about the same size as Great Britain’s
land area, but in Laos with a population of only
four million people, many of them
(D) comparable to the size of Great Britain, but only
four million in population, and many
(E) comparable to that of Great Britain but a
population of only four million people, many of
whom
答案是E。解释说C中的them指代不清，但我觉得them就是指代前面的people啊，而且E的but之后的部分感觉是一个名词和一个定从，但but不是应该连接句子吗?

57. That educators have not anticipated the impact of
microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it
is their fault: Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent
students of the future, did not even mention
microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.
(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
that it is their fault
(B) That educators have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
to be at fault
(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of
educators who have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology
(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault
for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer
technology
(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not
anticipating the impact of microcomputer
technology can hardly be said
答案是D。解释说B中的be said to be at fault 没有完成后面的从句，为什么没完成呢？还有A错在哪呢？

(B) That educators （WHO） have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
to be at fault
who 关系代词作主语 不能省略 否则根后面的can 无法区分谁是主句谓语动词

“可是第五篇阅读中出现了就这样的结构：
That many terrestrial snakes in similar spatial
orientations do not experience this kind of circulatory
failure suggests that certain adaptations enable them
to regulate blood pressure more effectively in those
orientations.”

snakes... suggests...？  楼主确认是这样的句子么？前面没有the fact？

43题在下还是觉得搞得比较清楚，因为我当时就是选C的。
首先我们看C选项，有many of them。。。，前面没有转折词，所以这句话many of them are
members of hill tribes ensconced in the virtually inaccessible mountain valleys of the north.本质上是被but引导的。转折后的句子含义是：老挝和GB的陆地面积一样，但是老挝的很多人在一些很荒郊野岭的地方。
我们句子的正确意思是：老挝和GB陆地面积一样，但是却只有4百万人，顺便说一下这些人在荒郊野岭的地方。
改变句子重心才是大罪！
看正确选项E：老挝有大地但是400万人，再来一个形容词从句说这些人干什么。很顺畅啊！

57题，我顶自己的贴都4回了，也没有人理我！借宝地求助啊！

43. 我觉得他的意思是前面laos和Great Brain，这里用them可能会引起混淆

57.这道题实在想不明白，如果在educators后面加个who的话那还有可能不完整。。。。

43.如果是many of whom才是就进指代的people，them可以指代前面的复数名词，所以指代不清，but是完整句只不过省略了主谓

同问，前面没有复数名词啊~~~

那43中的C答案中的them除了指代people,还可以指代什么？
还有OG对57题A答案的解释是：
Although it is possible to begin a sentence with
a subordinate clause beginning with that, this
inverted construction often results in errors such
as those found here. In the original sentence, the
subordinate clause that … technology is followed
by the main verb, can … be said, but then the verb
is followed by yet another subordinate clause, that
it is their fault. Th e best way to solve this problem
is by putting the sentence in the expected order,
with the main clause (It can hardly be said)
preceding the subordinate clause (that … ). For
greater clarity and concision, the two subordinate
clauses should be condensed into one: educators are
at fault for not anticipating the impact of
microcomputer technology.
A Inverting the usual order results in an
ungrammatical construction in which the
main verb is both preceded and followed by
a subordinate clause.
可是第五篇阅读中出现了就这样的结构：
That many terrestrial snakes in similar spatial
orientations do not experience this kind of circulatory
failure suggests that certain adaptations enable them
to regulate blood pressure more effectively in those
orientations.

57.
B.
that...technology不能be at fault, 应该是某个某些人be at fault.

57题求高手指教啊。为什么说57题的B没有完成从句。还有关于A答案的解释说谓语前后都是从句，所以错了，这是不是说主语不能是一个句子呢？

inezzhen

我也不明白为什么说57题的B没有完成从句。我觉得明明完成了啊。

That。。。technology作为主语

sth can hardly be said to be at fault 我觉得语法上没问题啊。
