16.  The ninetheenth-century chemist Humphry Davy presented the results of his early expreiments in his "Essay on Heat and Light", a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a new chemistry that Davy hoped to found.

A. a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a

C. a critique of all chemistry after Robert Boyle and envisioning as wess
D. critiquing all chemistry from Rober Boyle forward and also a vision of
E. critiquing all the chemistry done since Robert Boyle as well as his own envisioning of

------这个我选B，我用排除法，先排除CDE，理由不用说，都很简单。剩下AB，我没见过SINCE

后面可以接人，所以我选B了

41.  The market for recycled commodities like aluminum and other metals remain strong despite economic changes in the recycling industry.
A. commodities like aluminum and other metals remain
B. commodities like those of aluminum and other metals are remaining
C. commodities such as aluminum and other metals remains
D. commodities,such as aluminum and other metals, remains
E. commodities, like those of aluminum and other metals, remains

-------这个我认为选E，这个句子的主语是the market，先去掉AB了，而CD中，会有歧义，因为SUCH AS 后面的两个名词可以是指commodities或者是martket，所以排除。选E

16题倾向b，since实在太突兀了。

楼上mm，41的d选项remains应为remain

c选项中因为不用逗号，避免了以插入语形式修饰主语；从而就近修饰commodities，没有造成歧义。

让步：如果说c有歧义，那么e选项like引导的插入语呢？和什么比？market or commodities？

hey hey,din't you see?41题，E项，those是有人打错字，应该是commodities啊，当然选E了。

such as前有没有逗号，后面的两个名词都可以是指market 或者commodities......我印象中是这样

hey man,sometimes you should judge the problem by your sense of language,and that's it!

And we should develop that kind of sense as well.You can't always find evidence ,right?

天山-9-16.  The ninetheenth-century chemist Humphry Davy presented the results of his early expreiments in his "Essay on Heat and Light", a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a new chemistry that Davy hoped to found.

A. a critique of all chemistry since Robert Boyle as well as a vision of a
B. a critique of all chemistry following Robert Boyle and also his envisioning of a
C. a critique of all chemistry after Robert Boyle and envisioning as wess
D. critiquing all chemistry from Rober Boyle forward and also a vision of
E. critiquing all the chemistry done since Robert Boyle as well as his own envisioning of

如果B 是对的话，没有歧义，因为前面出现过HIS ，所以后面的HIS 与前面的同样的指代。A 里面的since人物, 好象没见过. 只有since + 事件/时间/或从句的.

天山9-41.  The market for recycled commodities like aluminum and other metals remain strong despite economic changes in the recycling industry.
A. commodities like aluminum and other metals remain
B. commodities like those of aluminum and other metals are remaining
C. commodities such as aluminum and other metals remains
D. commodities,such as aluminum and other metals, remain
Ｅ：commodities, like the commodities of aluminum and other metals, remains

COMMODITIES OF ALUMINUM AND OTHER METALS是说铝及其他金属制作的日用品。

C缺少逗号,另外, aluminum and other metals 不是recycling commodities.，D谓语应该用REMAINS，

E 中的like 是compare recycling commodities with the commodities of aluminum and other metals.

41. 我选E

某美国大学有一门课叫"History and Philosophy of Science Since Newton"，另一个网站上：‘A lively tour through six great developments in physics since Newton” 看来since 是可以得。

另外，看见了“a vision of a new cooperative America” “a vision of a new scientific publication system”，“... is a vision of a new world order that would make George Bush's head spin. It's a visionof a hemp-based economy.”

再说，既然b用了his, 未画线部分为何不用he?
