rabbitbug

已经搜寻过了一些题的讨论解释, 还有两题没有找到, 发出来问一下, 还请版主莫怪!
真题15-12, 14
12.    Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal with all other pollutants.
(A) an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal
(B) an especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s capability of dealing
(C) an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing
(D) a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal
(E) a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s ability to deal
答案: A, 我选C, 原因是A中一个很明显的问题: 只有人可以用be able to或者是ability, 这里是system, 怎么可以用ability呢? 虽然C中的in doing没有to do 好些, 但是C至少没有这种错误.大侠来指点一下!

14.    In 1990’s, there are more babies born by women over thirty years old than under it.
(A) than under it
(B) than were they under it
(C) than had been under it
(D) than were the babies
(E) than those were under it
答案: A. 我倒是能读懂这里的it是指代thirty years old, 可是这里的指代总是觉得很不舒服. 另外, 这个题的比较是怎样对应的呢? 搞不出各头绪!

感谢Solome版主, 不过,我对12题的问题不在于especially和specially的区别, 而是因为ability, 因为12题我选C. 难道说对于ability的用法, 要求它后面接to do吗?

ecsniffer

ability的用法的确是ability to do

rabbitbug

谢谢ecsniffer, 那么,C错了是因为C中的capability后面接in doing吗?

solome

关于别的讨论也提到了，我连接的只是讲解especially 和specially区别的帖子，因为这个
题这两个的区别是难点，你把帖子平板打开就可以了，

太好了, 12题终于弄明白了. 感谢solome版主的耐心指导!
