164.Because natural gas is composed mostly of methane, a simple hydrocarbon, vehicles powered by natural gas emit less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel.
(A) less of certain pollutants than the burning of gasoline or diesel fuel
(B) fewer of certain pollutants than burning gasoline or diesel fuel do
(C) less of certain pollutants than gasoline or diesel fuel
(D) fewer of certain pollutants than does burning gasoline or diesel fuel
(E) less of certain pollutants than those burning gasoline or diesel fuel
这里选E

90. (29271-!-item-!-188;#058&004232)

Diesel engines burn as much as 30 percent less fuel than gasoline engines of comparable size, as
well as emitting far less carbon dioxide gas and far fewer of the other gases that have been
implicated in global warming.
(A) of comparable size, as well as emitting far less carbon dioxide gas and far fewer of the other
gases that have
(B) of comparable size, as well as emit far less carbon dioxide gas and far fewer of the other gases
having
(C) of comparable size, and also they emit far fewer carbon dioxide and other gases that have
(D) that have a comparable size, and also they emit far less carbon dioxide gas and other gases
that have
(E) that have a comparable size, as well as emitting far fewer carbon dioxide and other gases
having
A. 正确，二氧化碳气体是不可数名词，因此对应使用 far less carbon dioxide gas，表示二氧化碳排
放“量”的少；the other gases 本身使用了复数形式 gases，表示其他气体的种类，因此对应使用
修饰可数名词的 fewer，fewer of the other gases 表示其他气体排放“种类”的少

下面那道是PREP07上的，说不可数应该用less,可数应该用fewer,但是大全的164题里的E用的是less 来修饰pollutants，这里的pollutants应该是复数吧？那应该怎么说呢？

跪求指点迷津

less of 固定搭配，less做副词，修饰的是前面的动词，和后面的名词没关系

eat less, dress less, love you less,..............

第二题的答案是什么
‘

Joseph_lin · 发表于 2011-5-23 15:13:44

你下面的far fewer of 呢，这里的fewer of 也是固定搭配么，fewer应该不能做副词修饰emit的吧，而且这里and左右平行，这里的fewer of 应该是名词性质的吧，那么上题为什么不能用fewer of呢？还有这里的E选项里没有加DO,是否会有歧义呢，因为不知道those是和vehicle比还是和pollutants比，就像I eat apple faster than you一样
