07 prep1    40Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has argued that many biological traits are not the products of natural selection, favored due to their enhancement of reproduction or survival, but that they are simply random by-products of other evolutionary developments.







(A) due to their enhancement of reproduction or survival, but that they are



(B) due to the reproduction or survival they enhance, but they are



(C) because they enhance reproduction or survival, but



(D) because they enhance reproduction or survival, but are(D)



(E) because of enhancing reproduction or survival, but are
请问这里D选项中的they是否有指代歧义呢?前面有复数traits和products

which有时候也指代介词短语里面的名词的。这里指代了changes而不是temperature是因为逻辑。
任何指代都是看逻辑的。(有时候指代对象太远会造成指代不清晰,是因为逻辑链因为太远而模糊化了)

再像斑斑追问一道,也是指代问题。这道题中D选项的which是指代changes?因为后面affect用的是原形。为啥不是temperature?是不是因为which不指代介词短语中的名词呀?

Changes in sea level are not only a result of changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but of melting glaciers as well.



(A) are not only a result of changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but of melting glaciers as well

(B) not only result from changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also when glaciers melt

(C) are a result not only of changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also the melting glaciers

(D) result not only from changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also from the melting of glaciers(D)

(E) result from not only changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but as well as when glaciers melt

木有歧义,主从对位指代是优先的(即主句和从句的主语位置相呼应). 这个规则是按照我们读句子的习惯而形成的.
