80.Changes in sea level are not only a result of changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but of melting glaciers as well.



(A) are not only a result of changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but of melting glaciers as well

(B) not only result from changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also when glaciers melt

(C) are a result not only of changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also the melting glaciers

(D) result not only from changes in water temperature, which affect water density, but also from the melting of glaciers

(E) result from not only changes in water temperature, affecting water density, but as well as when glaciers melt
正确D
但是我的问题是which 用指代water temperature, 所以后面的affec是不是应该是affects? 谢谢！

ruimiss

which可以跳跃指代。这里which应该指代的是changes，就是in water temperature里的 changes ，因而后面用affect

那么在这个地方怎么区分是修饰的changes, 还是temperture? 谢谢！

从这题考察的重点平行出发啊。可以直接得出D

所以不需要判断which指代。如果单从这个考点，比较容易判断失误。因为which一般是就近指代。

所以这种题一般考点主要在其他方面， 如果一点要说，我觉得是因为changes in water temperature这句里changes才是核心词，in...只是修饰它的。一般从句都是指代核心词然后对核心意思进行解释的。一般不会解释temperature这种修饰词
