GWD-1上3个鸟题请教

Q8:

The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods.

 

1. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is
2. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and
3. include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being
4. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is
5. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is

很容易排除干扰选项BCE，开比AD，我们发现好似两个都有不足。A选项，grow to be 意思是长成什么什么，结合原句就是那个鸟鱼长成30feet，好似不太符合逻辑吧？D选项，用as big as修饰long貌似不太符合修饰习惯。大家说两个鸟选项哪个更好？

  

Q16:

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

 

1. a greater proportion than it was
2. a greater proportion than
3. a greater proportion than they have been
4. which is greater than was so
5. which is greater than it has been

选B对吗？B更简洁而其余选项的代词补了上去都找不到相应指代。因为对比的概念是两个年度的proportion啊。大家说B对吗？

  

Q20:

Rivaling the pyramids of Egypt or even the ancient cities of the Maya as an achievement, the army of terra-cotta warriors created to protect Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor, in his afterlife is more than 2,000 years old and took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them.

 

1. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete them
2. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete it
3. took 700,000 artisans more than 36 years to complete
4. 700,000 artisans took more than 36 years to complete
5. to complete them too 700,000 artisans more than 36 years

选C对吗？有答案说选B，但是it能明确指代army of XXX吗？前面貌似有太多可以指代的了，不如不补还好？

求各位nn解答。

楼上的仁兄没有GWD答案吗？

kaisertse

有答案，但是我觉得后面两题答案解释有误

第一题选A吧 include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is

include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is: 我觉得as big as 30 feet long有问题.中文翻译成"大到30feet长"貌似没问题,但是英语中应该没有这种表达吧.as big as 前面是whale,后面变成了30 feet long 也不对称.

Q16:

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election.

1. a greater proportion than it was
           
2. a greater proportion than
           
3. a greater proportion than they have been
           
4. which is greater than was so
           
5. which is greater than it has been

选B对吗？B更简洁而其余选项的代词补了上去都找不到相应指代。因为对比的概念是两个年度的proportion啊。大家说B对吗？

这题选C,they 指代的是costs,而且是句子中唯一一个复数.我是这么理解的:a greater proportion 是句子的同位语,是对前面半句的概括总结,所以than后面要是同样的句子,就是句子与句子的比较.

不知道理解的对不对,请指正.

doorman198

16，B是对的

这道理，同位语部分，发生名词跟名词比的情况

a greater proportion than proportion in any previous election.

这种题，it 和they 肯定都不能对，因为都只能指代前面出现过的名词，

发生名词比较时，最忌讳自己跟自己比， 如果出现代词，一定是that 单数，或者those 复数，指代同类型的不同个体。

所以只能选择省略了名词的结构

对于何种情况下能省略，何种情况不能省略，一个大原则就是，不混淆就能省，还有很多小地方需要你体会

比如常规概念就能省，比如前面是people, 还有这题的proportion.

doorman198

20.题就比较有争议了, 你可以搜一下题号，

首先it可以指代 the army of xxx

给你几个思路做参考，我以前也是参考了别人的思路,感谢前人们

1.sth. take sb. some time to do

2.it takes sb. some time to do sth.

3.另外OG中有一题， 是  sth be done to keep it from sth ,就是说to do 后面还有介宾结构，代词也要补出。

16,B 无错

kaisertse

明白前两题，剩下最后那题,我觉得it指代虽然没有错，但是不补不是更好吗？

我想请教各位NN一个问题，关于GW1-Q8,为什么题干中，The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to Whales..." 而不用 is closely related to呢？ 从前后文的关系来看，都是讨论的the 32 species 该物种，应该用单数才对啊。
