Q13:

    

Researchers hypothesize that granitic
soil is the ideal construction material for the desert tortoise because it is
not so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft that it could cause
tunnels to collapse.

    

 

    

        
1. so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft
        that it could cause

        
2. hard enough to make burrowing difficult or soft
        enough as to cause

        
3. so hard as to make burrowing difficult or soft
        enough so it causes

        
4. as hard as to make burrowing difficult or as soft as
        to cause

        
5. too hard, making burrowing difficult, nor too soft,
        so as to cause

答案是A，我选的D，为什么用so as to错了呢？看了一些解释的，都争论于A/D

我认为D明显不对，as...as是用来做比较的

我选的E，不知道是不是这个错是因为makeing和so as to不并列

E   应该是nor错误，用于连接两个否定的短语只能用or。
BC or前后不平行
D  as…as…用于2种东西比较，这里只出现了1种东西，无比较。

头被门夹了

选A吧
还是从语义上理解

这种soil如果太hard就一定会让burrowing变得difficult 所以用一般现在时

而如果它soft的话 它只是有可能会cause tunnels to collapse 所以用情态动词could削弱语气

这题我也错了，后来想了一下D不符合逻辑，D中as...as确实没有比较的内容，应该是So...that句型~

有道理~
