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？

这道题目好恶心！！因为Ｎeanderthals和ape是集合名词，是物种全称所以要用单数。。。

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。。。。

我突然想到是不是可以这样理解。

如果Ving，SVO。那么分词动作的发出者是句子的主语S。

如果SVO，ving。这个时候分词还是做状语，动作的发出者有可能是S，也有可能是O。

如果SVOving。这个时候ving做定语，动作的发出者是O。

不知道MM怎么看

B, the best choice, logically uses Neanderthals as the subject. Choice A also uses this subject, but the plural pronoun those does not agree with its singular antecedent, a vocal tract.
        C, D, and E present the inappropriate subject vocal tracts, which cannot logically govern the second member of the predicate (i.e.,
                        vocal tracts cannot be said to be without language).
        Moreover, it is better to use the singular in referring to an anatomical feature common to an entire species

B中的neanderthals不是复数，是集合名词。单数。

200. Certain pesticides can become ineffective if used repeatedly in the same place: one reason is suggested by the finding that there are much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than in soils that are free of such chemicals.
                

(A)
            Certain pesticides can become ineffective if used repeatedly in the same place; one reason is suggested by the finding that there are much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than in soils that are free of such chemicals.

(B)
            If used repeatedly in the same place, one reason that certain pesticides can become ineffective is suggested by the finding that there are much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than in soils that are free of such chemicals.

(C)
            If used repeatedly in the same place, one reason certain pesticides can become ineffective is suggested by the finding that much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes are found in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than those that are free of such chemicals.

(D)
            The finding that there are much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than in soils that are free of such chemicals is suggestive of one reason, if used repeatedly in the same place, certain pesticides can become ineffective.

(E)
            The finding of much larger populations of pesticide-degrading microbes in soils with a relatively long history of pesticide use than in those that are free of such chemicals suggests one reason certain pesticides can become ineffective if used repeatedly in the same place.

1，在D 中:The finding that... is suggestive of one reason, if used ...., certain pesticides...为什么 if 的逻辑主语也是one reason, 我认为也可能是finding, or certain pesticides.

2，另外if used...到底是跟前边的句子还是跟后边的句子，certain pesticides...这个句子是不是跟前边的句子run-on啊，木有连词阿

3，E中的比较到底有什么问题，虽然觉得别扭，但是说不出来为什么。

MM们帮帮忙吧

这题答案是Ｄ？？我怎么觉得是Ａ呀？

Ｅ为什么你会读着怪因为Ｅ用的是介词ＯＦ结构，在介词结构中出现比较不好，比较结构一般都放在从句里。

Ｅ和Ｄ是典型的头重脚轻呀。。。（主语离谓语太远了）

我觉得不可能是单数因为你看没花线的部分and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species. 说明主语肯定是复数啊，其次集合名词如pepole, 谓语肯定也是复数啊。郁闷

答案是A。

你说的这些我都同意，但是这两个问题还不解中

1，在D 中:The finding that... is suggestive of one reason, if used ...., certain pesticides...为什么 if 的逻辑主语也是one reason, 我认为也可能是finding, or certain pesticides.

2，另外if used...到底是跟前边的句子还是跟后边的句子，certain pesticides...这个句子是不是跟前边的句子run-on啊，木有连词阿

lenaqian

我同意Ｄ中if后面可以作主语的很多。主语和if之间两句子没有连词。
