B错的也太明显了，为什么这么多人还选呢。这题简直就是OG167的翻版。所以选A没错的。

Some scientists contend that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s.

 

1. that many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like
2. that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like
3. that the metabolisms of many species of dinosaurs were more like those of
4. there were many species of dinosaurs that had metabolisms more like those of
5. there were many dinosaur species that had a metabolism more like that of

这下清楚了吧？

在字典上查到一个例句，metabolism应该是单复数同型：

The dosage was geared down to a level which would work on the infected cells but not upset their metabolism

所以这个题目是B没错

对呀,就凭这个也绝对不能选B呀

支持A

选C的战友是没看全划线后的句子吧? 如果like 后面有those of 那么than后面也应该有啊

。。。。说对了

对阿 如果metabolism是复合词的话B就说得过去了

请问一下,这道题目最后到底是哪个答案?谢谢

metabolism,在牛津高阶英汉词典上，标的是：n ，应该是不可数名词了，应该单、复数 同形，

那B，A 都正确啊？

以下是引用rt316在2004-7-11 12:43:00的发言：

A，参OG167

Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembling an ape's and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species.

many species of dinosaur had a metabolism more like a warm-blooded mammal’s than a cold-blooded reptile’s

如果两个句子可以相互对照, 那么metabolism为什么没有用that连接?

感觉两个句子的重心还是有区别的:

 OG167强调的是Neanderthals had; 而这道题强调的是对比. 简单点, 根据后面修饰成分的分量, 这里的A选项也差一个that来引导修饰metabolism. 所以我认为A选项的结构是有问题的

做题的时候我选了B, 不过, B选项 结构虽然优于A, 但是-----the metabolism...were more like a
                    warm-blooded mammal’s(metabolism)...很明显, 除了上面说道的单复数问题, 这里用the metabolism和 a metabolism进行对比是错误的, 尽管metabolism可以单复数通行, 可以跟随was或者were, 但是不能既跟were又去对比 a metabolism.

所以, 忍痛接受A

请执教

这题看来A也很好，究竟Aor B?

大家来讨论讨论！！！

还是没有讨论出结果啊...到底是A还是B？

我本来选的B现在觉得A更好。

理由:

B. that the metabolism of many dinosaur species were more like a warm-blooded mammal's than (like) a cold-blooded reptile's.

我觉得除了metabolism的单复数问题外，比较结构里，通常类似与like这样的介词是不会省略的吧？

所以觉得这里少了一个 like
