 NUCLEAR FUSION
        微软百科

The release of nuclear energy can occur at the low end of the binding energy curve (see accompanying chart) through the fusion of two light nuclei into a heavier one. The energy radiated by stars, including the Sun, arises from such fusion reactions deep in their interiors. At the enormous pressure and at temperatures above 15 million ° C (27 million ° F) existing there, hydrogen nuclei combine according to equation  and give rise to most of the energy released by the Sun.

（
        Nuclear fusion 核聚变，源自天体内部发生的一系列反应产生的能量，1993年，普林斯顿大学制造了fusion reaction核聚变反应堆）

In 1993 scientists at the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor, at Princeton
            University’s plasma physics laboratory in New Jersey, produced a controlled fusion reaction, during which the temperature in the reactor surpassed three times that of the core of the sun. In a tokamak reactor, massive magnets confine hydrogen plasma under extremely high temperatures and pressures, forcing the hydrogen nuclei to fuse. When atomic nuclei are forced together in nuclear fusion, the reaction releases an extraordinary amount of energy.

 

Reactor, Nuclear,
        微软百科

power-generating device in which heat is derived from a controlled nuclear chain reaction.

nuclear reactor
        美国传统英文词典

Any of several devices in which a chain reaction is initiated and controlled, with the resulting heat typically used for power generation and the neutrons and fission products used for military, experimental, and medical purposes.

核反应堆：连锁反应被启动和控制的装置，产生的热量通常用于产生动力，中子和用于军事、实验和医疗目的核裂变产物

刚才找了些背景资料（见LS 12 楼），因为想彻底弄清楚 (C)        merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors
            do    中的 do 到底指的是两个比较对象间的哪个特征是类似的？

104. Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs,
            merging the  nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as  in nuclear reactors.

(A)         merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors

(B)         merging the nuclei of atoms instead of splitting them apart, like nuclear reactors

(C)        merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors
            do

(D)        and merges the nuclei of atoms but does not split them
            apart, as is done in nuclear reactors

(E)         and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart

 

从资料上看，Nuclear fusion 核聚变 如题目中说的：Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs ，但nuclear reactor 核反应堆：连锁反应被启动和控制的装置，power-generating device ，这种科学家们发明的装置，是模拟天体内部氢核子在极高温度下发生的一系列反应的，因此有类似的特点，也即 merging the  nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart ，

因此，后面的 do 应该指的是这个特征。

 

欢迎大家继续讨论！ 再次感谢LS MMS！

LZ,我可能不能说服你，呵呵，以下只是我的一些想法，供你参考，

1.我觉得这样翻译来解题可能有点偏离了考试思路

2.去掉麻烦的修饰成分，看句子结构

 Nuclear fusion(A)is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs, merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors(B) do.

主干: A is the force

绿色部分整个是that clause作the force的定语，一般把A is A' 等同于A=A' --->（这里其实是修饰成分里的比较结构，且用be的等同作用，简化结构)

从句中的修饰成分先不管，再看从句主干，Nuclear fusion(A) powers the S, the S. and h b, as nuclear reactors(B) do.

-->A do sth, as B do结构，我不同意你说的do指merging, 原因同我4楼贴，形式不对等，成份不对等。

3. 从意思上理解，考场上也没有时间去仔细翻译句子，我只会粗略体会一下，一种force A-Nuclear fusion, 与另一种force B-nuclear reactor之间的比较。

4. Agreement: 严格意义上需要主谓保持一致；这里A, B是同类事物比，最重要的一点保证了。虽然B没有做到数上的一致，as a nuclear reactor does可能会更好一些，但是用了复数也不算错。

以下是引用文明在2007-8-26 11:25:00的发言：

两位同窗，OG11-45，不好在这里回帖，去到下面帖子去看看，给点见解出来

我觉得A是对，但是对于BCDE都没有自己可以理解的依据去判断它们错，最主要的困惑在于我认为这rather和instead在这几个选项里都是作为副词，不能理解OG说的（B、C、D）【rather/instead to come】does not complete the second part of the sentence idiomatically；还有（E）【instead coming】is ungrammatical

http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&ID=148994&page=2

To: 文明JJ, 这题是有点麻烦，目前分析如下，

B,D中to avoid改变了句子原意，逻辑上也有问题：动词不定式的动作发出者一般是主句主语

原句中economy是avoid动作的发出者，而B,D to avoid使得the gains成了avoid的动作发出者。

C: something eariler in the year many had feared, 试图作recession的同位语，但是这里修饰有问题，many had feared容易被误认为修饰year, so OG上解释eariler in the year should follow many had feared, rather than preceding it.(By the way, 我怎么觉得这里OG上有bug, rather than preceding it? 我们一般肯定会说Eariler in the year should follow many had feared rather than precede it., 不知道是不是，逗号的原因，成了伴随状态, 郁闷 )

E: 被动awkward; with it instead coming--> it 指代不明，instead coming也没有对应的动作可以instead.

目前水平有限，只能挖掘到这里，继续努力，这题应该还有不少宝可以挖。

谢谢啊！不知道你时候考？考试顺利！
