不是NN，提点自己的意见，第一题E选项中的they容易产生歧义，可以指代workers或者是packages,这种模棱两可的指代一般都是错的，D中就没有这个问题,their很明显是指代workers。

lz可以具体的写一下自己的疑问在哪里么，我觉得这几题的prep笔记以及前人的讨论帖里面说得很丰富啊。

第1题可以参考下这个讨论
http://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/unlike-most-severance-packages-which-require-t2952.html

第2题应该选B吧，A后面的resulting from在修饰上有歧义啊，可以修饰句尾的名词，也可以修饰前面的整个句子。另外， result是表示结果的状语，用其-ing形式表示一种正在进行的结果，从逻辑意义上说不太好。

第3题必须要看之前NN们的讨论，我一直觉得这个题得讨论非常经典，我自己从里面学到了很多很多。不过非常抱歉，我搜了半天搜不到原来的那个讨论帖子了，看来要麻烦你自己在讨论稿里面多搜搜了。这是原始讨论稿中别人截取的一位NN的观点，我觉得有一定的道理，可以参考下。

我觉得第二题选A吧。 result +ing 并不是代表进行时，而是作为分词短语来修饰前面的一整句话。

而且B选项太wordy了

原题

99. (29845-!-item-!-188;#058&004015)

A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.
(A) that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing
(B) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in
(C) that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing
(D) creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in
(E) creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

考点:逻辑表达（Logical Predication）简洁有效（Rhetorical Construction）
1)动词的现在分词作形容词,一般含有正在进行的意思
2) which/it都不能指代整个句子
(A) sb. suffer from B,表示sb.遭受了B, B表示的是遭受的结果,因此使用dwindling不好,现在分词一般表示过程,应该使用名词或过去分词表示结果;同样increasing也不好, result from后面接事实,表示原因,应该用increased或者an increase来代替increasing
(B)正确。
(C) because of food supplies强调的是food supplies,而从逻辑上应该强调dwindle; increasing不好,应该用increased或者an increase来表示结果
(D) revealed creature of the seabed强调的是名词creature of the seabed,不能准确的表达revealed的完整意思
(E)除了D中的错误外, which不能指代整个句子,使用错;increasing使用错误

句子结构: A study… revealed that creatures… were suffering because…


ing分词永远都会用表进行的含义，而ed分词永远都会有表过去的含义。

即使这题选B 我还是对A选项的resulting from 说下我的看法（笔记里也没指出resulting from 错误）：
ing分词在表示形容一个名次时是在表示进行的含义， a playing boy
但是ing分词 在引导分词短语状语从句时，它是起着修饰前面一整句话的作用，eg：shields with wooden frames were essential items of millitary equipment, protecting warriors against ...
不知道你的看法是什么？讨论一下~~呵呵

恩 是的~所以看到了这个用法就得多留心啦

    Result from这个词，好像作为伴随状语resulting from就没有对过，例子：A study offood resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed thatcreatures of the seabed were suffering fromdwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period. 这里resultingfrom是分词形式短语在句尾，有两个作用：1 – 表伴随动作、状态、功能，与句子谓语动作同时发生，逻辑主语等于句子主语；2 – 表伴随结果，整个句子是原因，导致分词动作产生，无逻辑主语。可以在分词前加上thus, thereby, in effect等，也可以不加。由上述解释来看，这个resulting作为情况1来说的话，逻辑主语等于A study of food resources，并且与reveal同时发生，但是其实它是想修饰dwindling food supplies作为它的原因；如果作为情况2来讲的话，表伴随的结果，整个句子是原因，所以也在修饰A study of food resources … revealed that…, 这个reveal导致的结果就是resultingfrom increasing sea surface temperatures…这样也不合理了，resultingfrom是原因，这里原因成了导致的结果了，本末倒置！
