5. Carbon-14 dating reveals that the megalithic monu­ments in Brittany are nearly 2,000 years as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors.
   

(A) as old as any of their supposed
   

(B) older than any of their supposed
   

(C) as old as their supposed
   

(D) older than any of their supposedly

(E) as old as their supposedly
  

MM们这个题的their 是不是指代 megalithic monu­ments ？

这句话的意思怎么理解阿？

as...as...表示跟xx一样

所以Ａ不对，因为逻辑错误，你不可以说纪念碑和任何supposed Mediterranean predecessors都跟２０００年一样古老。

所以要用older than，纪念碑比任何XX都要古老２０００年。

这题完全是逻辑理解，语法上我觉得Ａ是没有错误的。

44. Using a Doppler ultrasound device, fetal heartbeats can be detected by the twelfth week of pregnancy.
(A) Using a Doppler ultrasound device, fetal heart-beats can be detected by the twelfth week of pregnancy.
(B) Fetal heartbeats can be detected by the twelfth week of pregnancy, using a Doppler ultrasound device.
(C) Detecting fetal heartbeats by the twelfth week of pregnancy, a physician can use a Doppler ultrasound device.
(D) By the twelfth week of pregnancy, fetal heartbeats can be detected using a Doppler ultrasound device by a physician.
(E) Using a Doppler ultrasound device, a physician can detect fetal heartbeats by the twelfth week of pregnancy

1，选项B为什么不对？OG11的解释是说the modifying phrase has no referent

2,E中的by是什么意思？下边这种解释make sense吗？

D:by the twelfth week of pregnancy在句首是修饰谓语,意思是:在怀孕的第12周,医生能测到胎儿的心跳.->那其他时间那?

E:Using a Doppler ultrasound device, a physician can detect fetal heartbeats by the twelfth week of pregnancy

这里,by the twelfth week of pregnancy是定语修饰heartbeats,意思是:使用多普乐超声波仪器,医生能测到怀孕到第12周的胎儿心跳.

这题,根据逻辑意思,by the twelfth week of pregnancy是定语修饰heartbeats的,应该紧邻修饰对象heartbeats,放在句首或跟在谓语后修饰谓语则改变句意.

先看主句，Ｂ中的主句是前半部分，后面的using是修饰主句的，那这里主句的主语是fetal heart则后面using的动作发出者也应该是fetal heart。逻辑不对。ＯＧ的解释是在Ｂ中没有人可以发出using这个动作。

Ｃ把原来句子的主句变成了修饰成分，using本来是修饰的，Ｃ中变成了主句部分，所以重心转移。

Ｄ中我觉得是句子后半部分，一会被动can be detected，一会主动using，这样的结构很不好，因为这样主语就不清晰了。你看后面using a ...by P, 这样的表达不是很奇怪吗？

What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc has been the use of the new technology to revitalize, in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era.
     

(A)
     What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc
      

(B)
     The thing that was as remarkable as developing the compact disc
      

(C)
     No less remarkable than the development of the compact disc
      

(D)
     Developing the compact disc has been none the less
      remarkable than

(E)
     Development of the compact disc has been no less
      remarkable as 
   
1，这道题怎么能看出来是在考比较阿？

1，这道题怎么能看出来是在考比较阿？

2，was的时态要跟has been时态一致吗

3，no less...than是什么意思啊？

众MM都不在，都去happy了吗

这题挺难的。

我做的时候完全凭语感。因为划线划到has been（谓语），说明前面被划线的部分都是主语，主语一定要是名词性的，Ａ，Ｂ都是名词性从句，从句总不如名词性词组好。然后就全凭逻辑关系来理解句子了。

Ａ，what跟compact disc的发展一样引人注目。。。这里的主句是what，那后面说的东西全是what喽，那what是什么啦？句子后半部分用介绍的都是compact disc呀。。。。

Ｂ同Ａ。

Ｄ中把developing the compact disc 跟后面的the use of new technology明显不对嘛。

Ｅ同Ｄ

所以Ｃ，no less remarkable than...表示没有什么比ＸＸＸ更引人注目的了。。。

还要注意后面的in better sound，暗示了前面是有优劣的比较，而不是相同的比较。如果用as..as表示两个事物一样remarkable，那后面何来的better sound？

还有，前面忘了，那道测胚胎心跳的题

把时间状语提前跟放在后面是有区别的。

而原来的句意是说，在１２周可以测心跳，本来是修饰can be detected这一个动词的。提前到句首，就变成医生测心跳这件事发生在１２周。。。

我是这么理解的

汗。。。怎么说得这么乱呀，希望你看得懂。

感觉好像没什么大的区别，汗，理解能力差啊

我是这么想的，因为这句话只有一个谓语动词，所以时间状语放在前边和后边应该没什么大的区别。而那个Last year some of the buildings that...

和Some building that...last year had been...这个时间状语的位置不动，意思不同，是因为有个定于从句的影响，而这道题好像没啥区别吧？

还有这道题A，B里的事态有问题，是不是主语从句的时态，要跟主句里的时态has been保持一致啊？

MM们happy还没回来吗？
