40. To meet the rising marketing demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.

A. their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment

B. their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut

C. growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment

D. they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment

E. they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut

答案D

我的问题是：D的they没有指代问题么？
我觉得they指代suppliers，因为suppliers在as fast as 前后都做主语。
如果这样子的话那D就有歧义 － 是suppliers grow fish naturally 还是suppliers自己grow?

所以觉得they指代不清

被prep里的题搞得都快没信心了

请NN帮忙看看，小妹不甚感激～！！！

A do B as fast as C do D....A do B as fast as C do D A do B as fast as C do D A do B as fast as C do D A do B as fast as C do D

delphi_c

they指代fish~

再问一下A do B as fast as C do D的结构怎么排除they不能指代suplliers的呢？

delphi_c

我觉得这不是排除的，是从逻辑意思来看的，养鱼者使鱼成长的速度是鱼自然生长速度的2倍（翻译得不好大概看个意思吧）
更多的我也说不清楚了。。。请NN来给你解释一下吧。。。

答案是D. 但我认为应该是C.

C明明平行对称：suppliers are  growing fish twice as fast as growing them naturally - 何错之有？怎么可能是D??

我刚才做的时候也选了C，想法和mm一样，这会觉得C和D的区别应该主要看意思。

C suppliers 养鱼的速度是suppliers自然地养鱼的速度的2倍

D suppliers 养鱼的速度是鱼自然地生长的速度的2倍

应该是D的意思更合理一些
