1. 应该with the aim of doing，(not to do)

2. 新东方老师说只有人和动物才能用“'s”得结构, 这个说法可能有点绝对，gmat中应该可以找到一些例子是非人和动物用“'s”。

3. specially 和especially很大区别吗？在这里我感觉区别不大，都是修饰serious 的程度副词。平时似乎都能遇见。

4. 为什么d不对，我也说不清。首先A没有什么大错，保留。其次ability to do的用法更为常见，最后也许ETS认为the capability of    sb./sth. to do就是错，尽管平时好像有这种用法。

    

看看有没有NN能解释得准确些。

呵呵，楼主第2题问的问题和我要问的一样。后来我查了字典，感觉especially和specially 真的没什么区别，但是capability和ability还是有差别的。

从朗文的解释上看，capability是指那种需要人有目的地做出努力后才能达到的能力，不是自然或天生就拥有的。例如：the country's manufacturing capability；America's nuclear capability；I can speak French, but simultaneous translation is beyond my capabilities.

而ability是指天生的能力，或者不需要有目的的努力就可以拥有的能力。例如：the ability to walk；It takes hard work and natural ability to make it as a professional athlete.；The health center serves all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.

所以，我觉得在这题里是指呼吸系统自身天然就具有的能力，应该用ability.

这个不太同意。是不是两个版本的LONGMAN呢？以下摘自LONGMAN：

capability

the natural ability, skill, or power that makes a machine, person, or organization able to do something, especially something difficult, for example:

the country's manufacturing capability

ability

1.[countable] the state of being able to do something

2.[uncountable and countable]someone's level of skill at doing something
