1.(1)Given its authoritative coverage of otherscience topics, the textbook's chapter on genetics is surprisinglytentative, which leads one to doubt the author's scholarship inthat particular area.
(A) the textbook's chapter on genetics issurprisingly tentative, which leads
(B) the chapter of the textbook on genetics is surprisinglytentative, leading
(C) the textbook contains a surprising andtentative chapter on genetics, which leads
(D) the textbook's chapter on genetics issurprisingly tentative and leads
(E) the textbook is surprisingly tentative in its chapter ongenetics, leading
这里说的是包含了其他科学主题,所以主语应该是textbook,注意他用的词是its coverage of other topics,B中却说了chapteron genetics所以肯定不是chapter,要用textbook。
4.(4)One study found that although governmentpolicy and the industrial sector in which a company operates can influence itsproductivity and financial strength, managementdecisions have at least as great an impact on a company’s performance.
(A) management decisions have at least as great an impact
(B) decisions by management have a great impact
(C) manager decisions impact greatly
(D) decisions by a company’s management impactgreatly
(E) what a company’s management decides has a greater impact
语义不能变,所以bcde都有问题了… The idiom in this sentence isnot "as X an"; in fact, the idiom is still "as X as". Inessence, the sentence is indicating that management decisions have at least asgreat an impact on a company’s performance as government policy and theindustrial sector in which a company operates do; however, the wording of thesentence masked this proper idiomatic construction. Basically, when we use "as____ as," the first "as" introduces the adjective that is thebasic for the comparison. For example: "as great," "aspopular," "as majestic," etc. The second "as," meanwhile,makes the connection from the first to the second noun. For example:"Vanilla is as popular as chocolate." Now, notice that if we havealready described the popularity of chocolate, we do not need to say "aschocolate" again to make the comparison make sense. Instead, we can justsay: "vanilla is as popular." This is because we need to show thatvanilla is (whatever the adjective is), but we do not need to repeat the samefor the other noun, which has already been described.
7.(7)Carbonmonoxide levels in the atmosphere grew by enough of an increased percentageduring the twentieth century that it began to trap heat radiating from theEarth, and it caused the average surface temperature to rise.
A) Carbon monoxide levels in the atmosphere grewby enough of an increased percentage during the twentieth century that it beganto trap heat radiating from the Earth, and it caused the average surfacetemperature to rise.
B) Carbon monoxide levels in the atmosphereincreased by enough of a percentage during the twentieth century that theybegan to trap heat radiating from the Earth, causing the average surfacetemperature to rise.
C) Levels of atmospheric carbon monoxide increased sufficientlyduring the twentieth century to begin trapping heat radiating from the Earth,causing the average surface temperature to rise.
D) Atmospheric carbon monoxide levels increased bya sufficient percentage during the twentieth century to begin trapping heatradiating from the Earth, which caused the average surface temperature to rise.
E) Levels of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere during thetwentieth century increased enough to begin trapping heat radiating from theEarth, causing the average surface temperature to rise.
E的during the twentieth century位置改变了,意思也就改变了,C里说的是在20世纪增高了,但E说的是20实际的一氧化碳等级,但是这个sufficiently我也很难get到点,就好像CO故意升到这么高。但整个这个题我无法理解,levels of CO,一氧化碳等级怎么能trapping heat?不应该是COtrap吗?整个题我觉得有问题,回答就变得特别困难。。。。因为在我眼里没有一个是对的。。。。就选不出来
9.(9)Thoughresearch remains to be done into the reasons why the Civil War was triggered,scholars do not regard slavery to be the sole cause.
(A) Though research remains to be done into thereasons why the Civil War was triggered, scholars do not regard slavery to bethe sole cause.
(B) Though research remains to be done into what triggeredthe Civil War, scholars do not regard slavery as the sole cause.
(C) Though the reasons that triggered the Civil War remain tobe researched, slavery is not regarded by scholars to be the sole cause.
(D) Despite research remaining into the reasonswhy the Civil War was triggered, scholars do not regard slavery as the solecause.
(E) Scholars do not regard slavery as the solecause of the Civil War, though the reasons for it being triggered remain to beresearched.
这题主要考regard x as y,但是我排除B的时候是因为research into,但其实没问题,research into是研究很具体的问题用的,research on是更general的话题。
