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？

有区别，但是这个问题很tricky。

一个是修饰谓语动词，说明动作发生在１２周。也就是说在１２周心跳可以被测到。强调的是测心跳这件事。

放在句首，说明整个事件发生在第１２周，在１２周，心跳可以被测到。注意，这里强调的是这个时间，在１２周发生这件事。

英语的习惯是越重要的东西越提前，这是很小的差异，所以副词随便换地方会造成语意的改变，其实就是强调的重心改变。

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 

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？

觉得是有点问题，但是之前的只说了what引导的主语从句单复数要跟后面主句一致，至少时态，我觉得比较难判断。我觉得Ａ和Ｂ用这个was可能是想让过去的一件事跟现在比较吧。这个问题我也把握不好，有知道的ＭＭ一起讨论一下吧。

77. Though the term “graphic design” may suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging work, from package designs and company logotypes to signs, book jackets, computer graphics, and film titles.

(A) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging

(B) suggest laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, it has come to signify a wide range of

(C) suggest corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified widely ranging

(D) have suggested corporate brochure and annual report layout, it has signified a wide range of（B）

(E) have suggested laying out corporate brochures and annual reports, they have come to signify widely ranging

1，请问MM们 B中的has come to signify 和C中的has signified有什么区别？

2，现在完成时表示动作发生在过去，但是持续到现在，可是OG11C的解释里却说has signified suggests a completed action.完成时应该还表示持续到现在阿？

MM们happy还没回来吗？

B和Ｃ的主要区别在于laying out和layout，一个是强调动作，一个是强调结果。

然后has come to signify和has signify，同样一个强调动作的过程，一个强调结果。

一个说的是越来越意味着。。。。一个说的是已经意味着。。。。

这种小地方完全靠自己的理解啦。。。

不过这里又出现这个问题，越靠前的就是作者越想强调的，这里的作者就是想把laying out和后面come to signify比较，都有动作的感觉。

142. In one of the most stunning reversals in the history of marketing, the Coca-Cola company in July 1985 yielded to thousands of irate consumers demanding that it should bring back the original Coke formula.

(A) demanding that it should

(B) demanding it to

(C) and their demand to

(D) who demanded that it

(E) who demanded it to

解释说C里 consumers 和their demand is redundant.怎么看不出来重复阿？

167.
                    Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species.
        

(A) Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes
            

(B) Neanderthals had a vocal tract resembling an ape’s
            

(C) The vocal tracts of Neanderthals resembled an ape’s
            

(D) The Neanderthal’s vocal tracts resembled the apes’（B）
            

(E) The vocal tracts of the Neanderthals resembled those of the apes
            

OG的解释说D,Neanderthal's is singular but vocal tracts is plural 不对

但是答案B里面 Neanderthals是复数 a vocal tract是单数怎么就一致了？

是不是Ｄ呀？

Ｃ的意思是of结构后面连了两个东西，一个是consumers，另一个是their demand，后面的to bring的作动发出者是主语company

意思完全改变。。。你体会一下。。。

是分词作伴随状语，完全要靠逻辑关系。因为伴随状语比主语要低一个层次，这个问题很搞，我也搞得不是太清楚，因为分词的动作发出者即可以是末尾名词，也可以是主句的主语。。。。
