B与E中滴his指代不清，C与D中的FORWARD可以省略，意思与after, from重复，从句义上来说，后面一句是主句的同位语，而D,E改为分词形式，改变了句义，主语变成H.D这个人，SO，答案是A。另外要注意since的用法，BCDE中的表达均不如since then来得常用和简洁，一般口语中的ever since在G中ever可以省略.

2. Sulfur dioxide, amajor contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because it dimidishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal with all other pollutants.

b. an expecially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s capability of dealing

c. an expecially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing

d. a specailly serious pollutatn 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

What is the difference in use between especially and specially, and between ablility and capabilty?

especially表示特别地，尤其地，可以修饰形容词，动词，同位语，状语，sepcially有一个意思也是特别地，尤其地，可以修饰形容词，但一般不修饰动词，同位语，状语，另外sepcially还有一个意思是特意地，专门地，此时与especially不能混用。

一般情况下，especially用于修饰同位语，动词，状语比较多，而specially常用于修饰形容词。

此例中两词可以混用。

不选A是因为所有格，应该用OF而不是'S。

另外，the ability to do sth是习惯用语，ability后不接其它介词

You mean "sth since sb" is right?  I guess the noun followed by "since Robert..." should be chemist but not chemistry.

另外，the ability to do sth是习惯用语，ability后不接其它介词 -- Do you sure about this?

So, D is the best, right?

第二题应该是D

lukrenee

since sb，since sth是正确用法，从某人开始，从某事开始；常见的是since then, since that time~~

关于ability的用法，如果是要界定哪方面的能力，不是谁滴能力，一定只能用TO滴，如his ability to solve the problem...
