42．According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

(A) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

(B) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing

(C) minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing

(D) it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice（C）

(E) it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

主要解释一下Ａ，ＭＭ注意比较对象要对等minority graduates 和other graduates 比，你选Ａ是nearly four times 和other graduates 在比拉，而且表示倍数　as...as 要优于more...than的表示

25题认为答案正确

通过后面部分分析推出的B

C的问题我是这样看的：

evidence that supports theory of fire that were ignited by... and that contributed to extinction

两个从句都修饰fire。我认为句意是说新证据证明大火是……哦，玻璃胶带已经翻译好了啊。就是她翻译的那个意思，所以C重心不对了。并不是“火的理论”而是“火的产生和后果的理论”，前者是C的意思，后者是B的。

47．According to scientists at the University of California, the pattern of changes that have occurred in human DNA over the millennia indicate the possibility that everyone alive today might be descended from a single female ancestor who lived in Africa sometime between 140,000 and 280,000 years ago.

(A) indicate the possibility that everyone alive today might be descended from a single female ancestor who

(B) indicate that everyone alive today might possibly be a descendant of a single female ancestor who had

(C) may indicate that everyone alive today has descended from a single female ancestor who had

(D) indicates that everyone alive today may be a descendant of a single female ancestor who（D）

(E) indicates that everyone alive today might be a descendant from a single female ancestor who

按照UC的科学家，人类DNA的模式变化已经发生了超过m年了，这暗示着现在或者的每个人可能都是一个140000-280000年前非洲某女人的后代。

我选的是E,答案是D.indicates 肯定没问题。就是descendant of / descend from 是固定用法

 

这题很简单，提醒ＭＭ一下，固搭必须记住

我觉得A的比较没有错。than are other graduates这里补出了are，更清楚地表明了主语相对比。A错在be likely to do的固定搭配错误。其他几个，除了E，也都错在这里了。

昨天被打击到，今天才来回复ＭＭ的帖，我觉得还是我的心理素质太差了，仿佛一考试我就无法正常思考了，就跟失忆了一样，平时做题的套路思路都不见了，出了考场貌似就恢复正常了，看来我还是要多做模考培养感觉了，ＭＭ决定什么时候再战啊，希望你能坚持到底

我也是再看原文的时候觉得Ｂ遵守了原文意思，虽然Ｃ貌似很对称，但是就是因为固化思维，总会优选evidence that ，头痛啊

我还是坚持我的想法，这里的are是无论如何都不能出现的，ＸＸＸare...than are...有歧异吧，虽然我说比较对象不对等仿佛有些牵强，但这个选项怎么看都不对，还可以根据省略的原则来看

(A) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice

去掉可抛弃结构，仍然是be likely to do，不是搭配问题

还有你说的(E) it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

it is 不对，不仅比较对象不对等，it指代还错，而且你用it is 这个句型是把它当成形式主语结构吗，句义全部混乱了！加颜色的地方是Ｅ错之处，这个选项绝对不能选，错误太多

哦，我是认为A错在 likely in planning to do，你说去掉可抛弃结构后是likely to practice，我认为in planning在这里并非插入成分，如果前后加了逗号，我可以认同它是插入的状语，但是A选项这种情况下我仍然认为它用成了likely in doing to do，搭配错误。

关于E，看来我说的有歧义了。答案C我并没有怀疑，这道题一定是选择C的。我说“除了E”，是指E没有错在搭配上，但是它有很多其他错误，就像你说的，这个选项的确“错误太多”。我绝没有要选E的意思

笨笨可可

其实我认为A错的理由是固定搭配错。。likely to do.

至于要不要加are，都可以的。。

．A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims from a one-page writing sample that it can assess more than three hundred personality traits, including enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition.
    

(A) from a one-page writing sample that it can assess

(B) from a one-page writing sample it has the ability of assessing

(C) the ability, from a one-page writing sample, of assessing

(D) to be able, from a one-page writing sample, to assess（D）

(E) being able to assess, from a one-page writing sample,

专门分析笔迹的公司宣称他们可以从一页样纸就可以得出超过三百种个性特征，包括热衷的事情，想象力和野心。

這題我選了A,答案是D,问题可能是出在了A中这个that不应该和claim分离，这样的话，that 是引导宾语从句呢还是引导定语从句呢？在这里可能变得模糊不清。而D，把from a one-page writing做为插入语就使得句子结构清晰了些。

---------

这个题，A选项有个明显的错误，that只能修饰紧跟它的词，那么这里如果这样用，that就是修饰sample，导致句子混乱，如果要用A这种说法，这句话正常语序应该是：

A firm that specializes in the analysis of handwriting claims that it can assess more than three hundred personality traits, including enthusiasm, imagination, and ambition from a one-page writing sample
