205. The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are known as "standing waves." (A) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are (B) crests and troughs that remain stationary although they are formed by rapidly moving air, are (C) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, is (D) stationary crests and troughs although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are (E) stationary crests and troughs although they are formed by rapidly moving air, is
Answer is C. C 中的 although the air that forms them is moving rapidly 是属于 that 定语从句中的一部分吗? C and E 到底是什么区别呀?
我上的是丽丽的语法课,首先看句子的整体结构,发现谓语单复数的问题排除ABD,至于CE,主要根据忠实原文的规则,不要随意改变修饰结构的位置。 所以答案为C -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 158. With only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do. (A) With (B) As (C) Being (D) Despite having (E) Although accounting for
Answer is E. 什么时候 可以不用完整的句子, 仅用although 加上现在分词的形式? 对 although 加上现在分词的形式的规则也可以适用于when, while 等吗?
首先 being排除 然后看选项特点,我觉得Although优于despite,所以就选了E(有投机成分在内) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 233. Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers, and have raised production efficiency in various industries. (A) fatigue among shift workers, and have raised (B) fatigue among shift workers, and raised (C) and fatigue among shift workers while raising (D) lowered fatigue among shift workers, and raised (E) and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising
Answer is C. In E, while raising has no logical referent, producing only the absurd statement that fatigue has raised efficiency. 不明白为什么 C 中的and fatigue among shift workers while raising 就不会误解成 only the absurd statement that fatigue has raised efficiency. 先看句子结构,发现句子不平行。先基本结构,后修饰性结构 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
69. Although she had signed a pledge of abstinence while being an adolescent, Frances Willard was 35 years old before she chose to become a temperance activist. (A) while being an adolescent (B) while in adolescence (C) at the time of her being adolescent (D) as being in adolescence (E) as an adolescent
Answer is E. 不明白为什么A 就不对呢? 可能有人会说这个和“divorce occurring when a child” 一样,让人误以为 a pledge of abstinence referent of while being an adolescent. 如果是这样,请再回头 看看233 的 C, 那可是正确答案呀!(C) and fatigue among shift workers while raising
being出现的答案80%以上为错误答案,因为being强调的是这一个时刻正在发生的场景,不符合商业英文的规则,所以先把being的选项排除就没有任何疑义了。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
