PREP1-140 difference in/between

xianniu

在PREP破解版语法注释分析2007816中提到difference in/between的区别，从这道题目看不出来特别的区别。那位能指教一下？

140. (32308-!-item-!-188;#058&006094)

 

In human hearing, subtle differences in how the two ears hear a given sound help the listener

determine the qualities of that sound.

 

(A) in how the two ears hear a given sound help the listener determine

(B) in the two ears hearing a given sound help the listener in determining

(C) in how a sound is heard by the two ears helps the listener determine

(D) between how the two ears hear a given sound helps the listener in determining

(E) between how a sound is heard by the two ears help the listener in determining

 

句子结构：…, … differences in… help the listener determine…

主语是differences，谓语是help，双宾语分别是listener和determine。

 

考点：习惯用语、主谓一致

 

 

习惯用语，help to do sth/be helpful in doing sth；difference in/between 的区别。

主谓一致，主语有从句或复杂的修饰成分时，要注意辨别其单复数形式。

 

(A)
                正确，difference in sth，help sb do sth。

(B) in the two ears hearing …   去掉how改变原文要表达的含义；help in doing用法错误。

(C)  被动语态的表达没有必要；helps应该是help，因为其主语是复数differences。

(D) between应该是用于表达“二者之间”的含义，用于此处不正确；helps应该是help。

(E) between应该是用于表达“二者之间”的含义，用于此处不正确；被动语态的表达没有必要。

这道题其实不用between就可以得出正确答案，从主谓一致和help ...do就可以判断出。

between的用法和in不一样。我觉得这里不是说逻辑意思的问题。between的用法og明确的指出是

differences  between A and B.
