小女子不才，仔细研读了OG后，仍然有很多不明白的地方，就OG100到140题目共有如下13个不明白，请大牛的不吝赐教！感激涕零！
问题1
问题1
103. Yellow jackets number among the 900 or so species
of the world’s social wasps, wasps living in a highly
cooperative and organized society where they consist
almost entirely of females—the queen and her sterile
female workers.
(A) wasps living in a highly cooperative and
organized society where they consist almost
entirely of
(B) wasps that live in a highly cooperative and
organized society consisting almost entirely of
(C) which means they live in a highly cooperative
and organized society, almost all
(D) which means that their society is highly
cooperative, organized, and it is almost entirely
(E) living in a society that is highly cooperative,
organized, and it consists of almost all
问题：
OG原文中
A They, referring to wasps, is an incorrect
subject for consist.
我感觉A选项不对也应该是不能用where修饰society吧，为什么是they 的指代错误呢？
问题2

问题：
OG给出B选项的错误是begun用错了，那么如果B中改用began，是不是B选项就对了呢？那么，which，是不是加不加语法上都是正确的呢？
问题3

excepting for the domains of administration and
teaching, the English language was never really
spoken on the island.
(A) excepting for
(B) except in
(C) but except in
(D) but excepting for
(E) with the exception of
问题：
OG解释C Correct. The two independent clauses are
separated by but, and except in is an
appropriate idiom.
之前也见过别人讨论except In的用法，但是都没有讨论出个所以然来，而且词典等东西上都没关于except in的用法介绍，想知道，到底该如何理解。
问题4
121. Sales of wines declined in the late 1980s, but they
began to grow again after the 1991 report that linked
moderate consumption of alcohol, and particularly of
red wine, with a reduced risk of heart disease.
(A) they began to grow again after the 1991 report
that linked moderate consumption of alcohol,
and particularly of red wine, with a reduced risk
of heart disease
(B) after the 1991 report that linked a reduced risk
of heart disease with a moderate alcohol
consumption, particularly red wine, they began
growing again
(C) in a 1991 report, moderate alcohol
consumption, and particularly of red wine, which
was linked with a reduced risk of heart disease,
caused them to begin to grow again
(D) with a reduced risk of heart disease linked in
a 1991 report with moderate alcohol
consumption, in particular red wine, they
began growing again
(E) a reduced risk of heart disease linked to
moderate alcohol consumption in a 1991 report,
and in particular red wine, started them growing
again
问题：
OG解释中
D Without the preposition of, the sentence
indicates that red wine is a kind of
consumption—which makes no sense. 是不是D选项加入of 就对了呢？那正确选项A中的and（and in particular red wine） 起什么作用？有没有and，句子都正确吗？
E The incorrect placement of the modifier in a
1991 report suggests that wine is being
consumed (albeit in moderation) in the
report itself.不懂。求解。
问题5
Would 和 will的区别是什么？只是时态吗？如果句子是过去的时态就用would，如果是现在的时态就用will。是这样的吗？见122和139题目，对比。
122. A wildlife expert predicts that the reintroduction of the
caribou into northern Minnesota would fail if the density
of the timber wolf population in that region is more

population in that region is more numerous
(B) would fail provided the density of the timber wolf

(C) should fail if the timber wolf density in that
region was greater
(D) will fail if the density of the timber wolf
population in that region is greater
(E) will fail if the timber wolf density in that region
were more numerous
OG解释
A Would fail expresses doubt about the future
outcome; density should be modified by
greater.

124. Found throughout Central and South America,
sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and
sleep 15 hours a day, moving infrequently enough
that two species of algae grow on its coat and
between its toes.
(A) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and
sleep 15 hours a day, moving infrequently enough
(B) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs,
they sleep 15 hours a day, and with such
infrequent movements
(C) sloths use their long rubbery limbs to hang from
trees, sleep 15 hours a day, and move so
infrequently
(D) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery
limbs, sleeping 15 hours a day and moving so
infrequently
(E) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery
limbs, sleeps 15 hours a day, and it moves
infrequently enough
OG解释
E Hangs … sleeps … it moves is not a parallel
construction; infrequently enough that is not a
correct idiom.为什么不平行啊？如果E改成the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery
limbs, sleeps 15 hours a day, and it moves so infrequently 是不是更好？比D都好？
问题7
126. The use of lie detectors is based on the assumption
that lying produces emotional reactions in an individual
that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses.
(A) that, in turn, create unconscious physiological
responses
(B) that creates unconscious physiological
responses in turn
(C) creating, in turn, unconscious physiological
responses
(D) to create, in turn, physiological responses that
are unconscious
(E) who creates unconscious physiological
responses in turn
OG解释
C This construction is less successful at
clarifying the chain of events because
creating seems to refer back to lying ; if used
as a participial, creating would have to be
preceded by a comma.意思说 如果C选项改成C ,creating, in turn, unconscious physiological responses 这样就对了吗？
问题8
128. Australian embryologists have found evidence that

an aquatic animal, its trunk originally evolving

evolved
(D) to suggest that the elephant had descended

evolved
(E) to suggest that the elephant is descended from
an aquatic animal and that its trunk originally
evolved
OG解释
B The evidence still suggests these things
about the evolution of the elephant and its
trunk, so the present-perfect verb tense is
inaccurate.为什么不能用完成时？划线部分前面have found不就是用的完成时吗？就是说这个证据已经找到了。

by the 4,000 Acadians who migrated there in 1755;

been added to it
(E) and, in addition, English, Spanish, and Italian
words are added
OG解释
A The singular has does not agree in number
with English, Spanish, and Italian words; the
verb should be the plural have; the inversion
of the subject and the verb is awkward.题目中的which指代是什么？不是their languages吗？为什么是 English, Spanish, and Italian words？ 那该如何翻译？
还有Cajuns speak a dialect brought to southern Louisiana
by the 4,000 Acadians who migrated there in 1755;句子结构是怎样？a dialect 后面为什么能直接加brought？看不懂！
问题10

Germany, where it is just over 33 percent
Whereas 表示的是2个的对比，前面句的主语是 over 75 percent of the energy ，后面划线句的主语是nuclear power 这样也可以对比吗？
问题11

shrimp nets protect

is protecting
(C) that require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp
nets protect
(D) to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets
are protecting
(E) to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets
is protecting
OG解释
To use an infinitive, to require, seems to indicate that requiring these devices is the objective of the laws, when in fact the objective is to protect the sea turtles.为什么用了不定式会有这样的效果？用动名词就没事吗？这是哪个方面的动名词和不定式的区别呢？
问题12

(C) Müller’s career began with the unpromising

OG解释：It was Müller’s career that spanned 50 years and culminated in virtually every honor.M的职业跨度了50年姑且说的通，那么M的职业也能积累到每一个荣誉吗？我的翻译太烂了，反正这个句子就是理解不到OG的精髓。请赐教。

OG解释

coordinating conjunction, and do not
describe the same thing; redundant again.句子中again 可以解释的通啊，为什么就多余了呢？
