呵呵,哥们和我选的完全一样,不过全被GWD那土人kill掉了. 3里面没有你说的那个选项,要不我肯定选它了

忍不住要说说4,

4. Sound can travel through water for enormous distances, prevented from dissipating its acoustic energy as a result of boundaries in the ocean created by water layers of different temperatures.

A. prevented from dissipating its acoustic energy as a result of

B. its acoustic energy prevented from dissipating by

C. preventing its acoustic energy from dissipating by

这里我开始很自然的也选了C(gwd选C),做第二遍的时候发现,by boundaries............就决定了boundaries是要发出动作的.前面有两个动词, prevent和dissipate. 这里就出现了我的疑问:

prevent sth.1 from doing by sth.2的结构里, doing可不可以由sth.2发出来的? 是否需要改成 prevent sth.1 from being done by sth.2?

但是,我们不能说prevent John from hurting by tiger吧?但是可以说 prevent John from being hurt by tiger.

so ,这里我认为C是错的, boundaries发出的动作不会是dissipate,而是prevent(虽然从常理去理解有点问题), 所以我选了B

还有一题:

6.  For many revisionist historians, Christopher Columbus has come to personify devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

A. devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that has decimated native peoples of the Western Hemisphere
B. devastation and enslavement in the name of progress by which native peoples of the Western Hemisphere decimated
C. devastating and enslaving in the name of progress those native peoples of the Western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.
D. devastating and enslaving those native peoples of the western Hemisphere which in the name of progress are decimated.
E. the devastation and enslavement in the name of progress that have decimated the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere.

这题很容易就选了A,但是gwd的说法让我实在不能接受,他说从句的that是修饰devastation and enslavement ,还说两个东西说的是一个事情,所以后面是用单数.

          第6题我选E，in the name of progress做修饰语，跟上另一个修饰语that分句

          that按照逻辑修饰，必然是修饰the devastation and enslavement ，因为不可能是progress或者name 作为decimated the native peoples 的主语。

          第4题，我认为选B，sound自己prevent能量降低确实不对，B选项独立主格做状语，看不出什么问题

          第5题我选C，不明白GWD选哪个，因为allow that表示“承认”

          第1、2、3题还想看看其他答案再说

第六题是选A. E的错误在于那个the.

这题gwd认为that不是修饰progess,因为process不能杀人. 但是我认为that就是修饰progess. 题目的意思是Christopher把devastation and enslavement人性化为杀了一堆土著人的progess. 如果that从句不是修饰progess, 那就翻译成:christopher把杀了一堆土著人的devastation and enslavement人性化成一个progess, 让人感觉话没有讲完,不知道是啥progess.读一读就知道了.

偷偷问问楼主，这是GWD的新题吗，是不是CD里还没有

tuzq

yes,小声点.................

     我认为the devastation and enslavement 更加类似于一种专门的名词而特指Christopher Columbus 的“业绩”，而不是一个泛指的名词，所以the是对的

     进步去杀人，这个逻辑上实在讲不通。还是不同意选A
