是彻底搞不清了。我开头也是convince myself: whatever 和what 的语气不能随便改。

是彻底搞不清了。我开头也是convince myself: whatever 和what 的语气不能随便改.

现在关键是语气能否根据上下文适当更改。ETS是否会同意？

想来在今后的考试中将有提高此类逻辑思维考试难度的趋势。

个人觉得还是D好。

里面有明显转折、提高的语义在里面。B 明显有误。见Longman词典：

Longman中只有make up for 有more than make up for 的用法：

The good days more than make up for the bad ones.而make up 则无此用法。

这是不是可以确定答案是D了呢？

I think B is better.  The first part of the sentence clearly indicates that Baker doeslack some technical skills.  In thiscase, “what” is better than “whatever”, because “whatever” implies that one don’tknow for sure whether Baker lacks skills.

“make up” and “makeup” are not the same thing.

“make up for” is usually immediately followed by “someone orsomething”.  In this case, there is nosomeone/something directly follows except the “by the passion”, so “make up” isfine in B.

为什么我post的message总是有很多单词之间的空格disappear ? 可有高人指点一下？

这道题我怎么觉得but前后的转折关系不能成立呢？有哪位NN能给翻译一下吗？

我的理解是：Baker可能不是最有天赋的演奏家，但是指挥觉得他在演奏技巧上的欠缺超过他在演奏中的激情的补偿。              既然有一个转折，好象应该是补偿超过欠缺才对呀？怎么还是欠缺超过补偿？

偶也是这样理解的。根据这个理解，觉得B更好。

但是还是觉得这道题怪怪的，请NN分析一下。

我觉得问题处在more than上。谁来解释一下，这里，more than是什么意思？

按我们的习惯是，尽管他不是个天才歌手，可是指挥认为技巧上的不足被他演唱时候充沛的情感弥补了。

但是这里不是这个意思。
