Alexandria应该是一个地点，不知道是国家还是怎么着。A选项是有歧义的, the largest library of the ancient world at Alex~ 可以断句成 the largest library of (the ancient world at Alex~) 也可以这样看 (the largest library of the ancient world) at Alex~, 所以有歧义

而D选项as a result of the destruction of the library at Alexandria, the largest of the ancient world，同位语修饰的是前面一个名词短语的中心词，即library

我怎么觉得就近修饰Alexandria也可以啊.Alexandria(the largest of the ancient world)

这里的进行时并不是强调动作“正在进行”而是强调量的概念，可以理解为" 已经接近" ,而你后面说的"has already been approaching“才是强调"进行"，才是不合理的。。。

还是不太绕得清，再体会体会

what 引导的定语从句中，可以把what看成" a n. that"(a n.视上下文可以理解为a thing/ a place等等等等）

像这里what=a place that

This trick never fails!

不错，学习

（人们）认为，西部平原上曾经常见的黑脚雪貂的数量的下降是草原土拨鼠（雪貂的主要猎物）的中毒所导致。

终于答完了，第100贴哈哈！

我把..dogs看成狩猎的了，看成了后面的吃前面的，所以觉得怎么可能数量少了呢

如果说Alex~ 是the largest of the ancient world的话，应该是worlds才对！

我觉得也不能推一架飞机不可能飞1-2个航线

完全可以9条航线3个飞机飞吧？那样的话一架飞机飞3条航线，还是可以成立的。

所以这道题最清晰的解题思路应该还是用取非来判断。

是么，唉，我太笨了。- -0

我今天公司好忙，所以没办法弄其他的，你的问题都没有看，不过sicivi太厉害了！！！

费费51. People who have political power tend to see new technologies as a means of extending or protecting their power, whereas they generally see new ethical arguments and ideas as a threat to it. Therefore, technical ingenuity usually brings benefits to those who have this ingenuity, whereas ethical inventiveness brings only pain to those who have this inventiveness.

Which one of the following statements, if true, most strengthens the argument?

(A) Those who offer new ways of justifying current political power often reap the benefits of their own innovations.

(B) Politically powerful people tend to reward those who they believe are useful to them and to punish those who they believe are a threat.

(C) Ethical inventiveness and technical ingenuity are never possessed by the same individuals

(D) New technologies are often used by people who strive to defeat those who currently have political power.

(E) Many people who possess ethical inventiveness conceal their novel ethical arguments for fear of retribution by the politically powerful.

各位同学，这个怎么解啊？答案是B。

各位同学，这个怎么解啊？答案是B。

原文中的"因"是political powerful people对两种inventiveness的态度，"果"是拥有两种inventiveness的人的得到的利益/下场。

为什么会产生这种因果结论？肯定是powerful people的态度导致了这两种不同的结局，如何导致？就是B选项中的（powerful people态度－>)powerful people处理inventive people方式－>inventive people下场
