The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.
Q29: PP-10 The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.
A. enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce B. enormously in that a single tree, dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude, is able to produce C. enormously, because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and altitude, is able to produce D. enormously, because a single tree, being dependent on its size, climate, and altitude, is capable of producing E. enormously, because a single tree, dependent both on its size as well as on climate and altitude, could produce B哪里不好呢？ in that 没什么问题啊。
The yield per acre of coffee berries varies enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce enough berries to make between one and twelve pounds of dried beans a year.
(A) enormously in that a single tree, depending on both its size and on climate and altitude, could produce (B) enormously in that a single tree, dependent on its size and also on climate and altitude, is able to produce (C) enormously, because a single tree, depending on its size and on climate and altitude, is able to produce (D) enormously, because a single tree, being dependent on its size, climate, and altitude, is capable of producing (E) enormously, because a single tree, dependent both on its size as well as on climate and altitude, could produce
A. both…and用法错误 B. both…and用法错误 C. 正确，depending on A and B, 此处A为its size, B为climate and altitude，为对应的两个名词成 分 D. Being多余 E. Both…and用法错误
句子结构：The yield… varies, because… In that/ because引起原因状语从句。从句内部主谓结构为a single tree is able to… depending/dependent on为插入成分，可以有两种理解：depending on… 为伴随状语，修饰从句的 主谓结构；dependent on… 可以为形容词插入语，修饰从句主语tree
习惯用语（Idiom）、平行对称（Parrallelism） both x and y, both…and also以及both…as well as均错误。其中x、y要求是形式对称，内容平行的成 分。当存在介词时，如本句中的on，可以为on both A and B，或者both on A and on B。
补充说明 [1] Depending on… 和 dependent on… 均为合理的用法，因此这两者之间的区别并非本题的考点。 [2] 此句描述的为一个客观事实，且主句位于varies属于一般现在时，所以because引起的从句也以一 般现在时为佳，因此在时态上，BCD相较AE为佳。但除此之外，can/ be able to/ be capable of 的区别和优劣不是本题的考点。
the problem lies in the different meanings of the 2 words. "dependent" refers to reliance on another for some kind of support (as in "my children are dependent on me for their food and shelter"). so not only is that choice sketchy in terms of grammar, but its meaning is also all kinds of wrong: it makes no sense to say that a tree is "dependent" on its size (does its size provide it with food or water? etc)。Depending on 表取决于。
