一道题，求助。

juan

There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

B. There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished.

C. There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.

D. Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.

E. Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.

答案是C。

A, B中的their, them无指代，D，E比较不对。那么只有C了。

可我很困惑C中的which怎么指代呀？指代monkfish吗？不太对吧？

求助求助。。。谢谢。

看看这题的which指代好吗？谢谢了...

juan MM,C肯定不对,你质疑得很有道理.另外这个答案不过是某人的一家之言,并不是ets的,所以不必太在意,因为考试的时候你还是要利用你自己的直觉和判断来解题的.只要搞清语法点就行了.

以下是引用juan在2004-5-26 6:32:00的发言：

There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.

B. There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished.

C. There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.

D. Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.

E. Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.

答案是C。

谢谢mariezhu和tianwan.总算有人可讨论了.

这题我是这样理解的:

a circumstance that...做前面整个句子的同位,只能用a circumstance,而不能用which来代前面这个句子,显然 C是企图用which来这么做. 而D,E的unlike比较是illogical的. B中的unlike cod or haddock也是illogical,那么就只剩A了.我当时也是选的A.但困惑于A中的their depletion,看tianwan说 fish单复数一个样,一查字典果然---ETS真毒啊!!那么我也就对选A释然了.

不过我对A中的There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock有点疑惑,感觉怪怪的,是不是可以看成as there are for cod and haddock的there are 后省略了legal limits?可以这样用吗?

帮我看看我这思路对不对,好吗?谢谢先了....

tianwan

和你的思路一样。

juan

谢谢tianwan.

再请问一下,你也觉得 A中的There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock可以看成as there are for cod and haddock的there are 后省略了legal limits吗?

感觉再练习过程中好象没见过这样的用法.

比较罗嗦,只是为了彻底消除困扰....非常感谢.

tianwan

yes. agree with you
