94. (29615-!-item-!-188;#058&003960)

The decline of the mountain yellow-legged frog in the high reaches of the Sierra Nevada has
become severe enough for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service quite possibly to list it as an
endangered species in the near future.

(A) severe enough for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service quite possibly to list it
(B) severe enough so that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service could well list them
(C) severe enough for it quite possibly to be listed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(D) so severe that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service could well list it
(E) so severe that they could well be listed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service


正确答案是d。 想请问
1)so severe that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service could well list it 中的well怎么解释?
2)could 跟possibly 在表可能的时候有没啥含义上的区别?

谢谢拉~~

关于 问题2)could 跟possibly 在表可能的时候有没啥含义上的区别? prep1-96也有考到:

96. (29707-!-item-!-188;#058&003977)

In some species of cricket, the number of chirps per minute used by the male for attracting females
rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve as an
approximate thermometer.

(A) for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can
in fact serve
(B) for attracting females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, which can
in fact serve
(C) in attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact
possibly serving
(D) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and it can in
fact serve
(E) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact
possibly  serving

正确答案是d。 d跟e的差别之一就是 d 用的 can; e  用的 possibly.

大家给点自己的想法吧~

well作副词,表程度:好, 满意地, 充分地, 彻底地, 有理地, 适当地, 夸奖地。
can、could和possibly肯定有差别,前者表示主语自身的能力,could表示主观推测事情会怎么发展,后者也表可能性,但是比could更强调客观的可能性,换言之possibly是非常强调建立在客观分析基础上得出的结论,于probably很像。

prep1-96中d和e的主要区别在于句子结构。

对于都表示可能的could和possible, 感觉could多用于有使动者或被动者的地方,比如
sb could have done sh.      sth. could have been done
而possible一般多见于描述一种现象,或者一种事实,是抽象概念用,it is possible that ....
也见过 sth could be possible 这里的could 是做虚拟语气的助词用了。
以上均为个人感觉,没有查证过。

而对于possible和can,曾经看到过说,GMAT这种考书面语的考试中,possible优于can。

prep1-94
could well 和 quite possibly 都表示一种强烈的可能性吧。

prep1-96
我认为E错在用了现在分词做伴随状语,但是serving as thermometer和rises and falls并不存在伴随的意义。
体会一下,“一边测温,一边随温度忽高忽地的叫”,和“随温度忽高忽地的叫,实际上这可以用作测温”

谢谢解答!  也就是说94题里面的could well list it... 里面的well就是在强调一种程度了!

我现在觉得虽然can/could和possible都表示可能,但含义上还是有微妙的差别。 如果翻译成中文can/could 表示“能够。。。。”; 而possible表示“可能。。。”

我觉得94题A和C错在quite possibly 的位置,不应该放在不定式to的前面,而是放在不定式里面修饰动词

同意。
[severeenough] for X [quite possibly] to...
既然都severe enough了,就没必要quite possibly了嘛.
quite possibly所表示的可能性和enough表示的充分性矛盾.
正确答案中的 so severe... X could就避免了这个矛盾。
