以下是引用honeybebe在2007-4-13 22:58:00的发言: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
A: as fast as 要和前面对称,rate不和前面对称 B: 同上;their feed … and raising 不对称 C: growing them naturally和前面不对称 D: correct E: with … and raising 不对称
在問問,比如這道題,答案是d, 但是,d ,沒有省略subject, the supplier. but grow is the verb vs. the growing? i am kinda confused.... 首先需要达成共识的是twice as fast as是比较结构,比较结构两边要有可比性:左边说suppliers养鱼,右边说鱼的自然生长率,这是完全nonsense的,所以我们需要寻找一个合理的比较对象,既然左边说供应商养鱼(两倍快于),右边就应当说鱼自然成长,这里的they(subject)不是suppliers而是说fish,fish在这里是集合名词,跟police,cattle一样,强调整体时用单数,强调个体时用复数。后面就好找了,和raising对应的只有cutting. |
