GWD3-Q10

谢谢找出examples 那B就错在little(小）应是little of（。。。中的很小一部分）；还有根据划线后面有这个词would 用were it to do 比较好  构成虚拟。

嗯，还是认为是C。。。

GWD3-Q10:

Antarctica receives more solar radiation than does any other place on Earth, yet the temperatures are so cold and the ice cap is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise, the water levels of the oceans would rise 250 feet and engulf most of the world’s great cities.

A.      is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise,

B.       is so reflective that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; were it to do so,

C.      so reflective that little polar ice melts during the summer, or else

D.      reflective, so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer, or

E.       reflects so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; if it did

答案是C。我选的是A，感觉SO THAT 也可以直接表结果吧。

另外，尤其困惑的是，B中 were it to do so 是什么鬼东东？

望nn指教

对于B选项， 一直不能理解的是这个 "so", 指代的到底是什么？ 是指“little polar ice melts during the summer”吗？如果是，那后面的意思就完全反了，不可能“the water levels of the oceans would rise 250 feet and engulf most of the world’s great cities.”

我选的是A， 哪位NN帮忙分析一下A错在哪里？

C. so reflective that little polar ice melts during the summer, or else

--- where is the main verb? "is" is missing before "so reflective....".There exists a verb "are" but that is a plural verb. Ice cap is singular and requires a singular verb.

呀！

顶楼上的~~

我开始也觉得C比较好，可是看完楼上的解释豁然开朗啊~~~~感谢LS~~~~

虽然知道了C错在了哪些地方~~可是。。。还是不明白B中的it跟do so的so指的到底是啥。。。。

我同意13楼同学的说法

C是有明显问题，缺乏BE动词，但是也举出来了反例来证明并列的情况下可以省略，但是上上楼兄弟提出了省略的话前后单复数不一致可能有问题，这个问题我觉得应该还是可以找找反例，我觉得不一定不行

但是B我觉得也有重要问题，WERE IT TO DO SO,如果按照他虚拟的逻辑的话，意思完全反了，更加有问题

所以我觉得倾向C的可能要大，而且were it to do so,我查了，没有这样的固定用法

很困惑

Boot

were it to do so中的it指代什么？temperatures还是ice cap？指代不当啊。

所以感觉C里是and结构be动词省略。

markhuang111

回ls,如果用分号隔开，则B中的it优先指代antarctica吧？

还有如果按照原句，应该是temperarure和ice cap两者导致that之后的内容吧，B的用法难道不会产生只是cap引起的歧义么？

anyway,顶上去，等大牛！

正解啊~另外像7L所说的也是C选项另一个错因

简禾

were it to do so可以还原成If it were to do so

it应该是在只带Antarctica

而so可以指代前面句子说的事情，应该是polor ice melts during the summer,如果要带上little的话，就应该变成were it not to do so

我也不太确定，只是感觉啦
