unknown 讨论讨论，加深认识

第一题，强烈要求解释和讨论。 觉得是D。

marshial

这些题不要太细究！

写出来就是让大家在考前对类似知识点有个警醒，举一反三就可以了。

第一题的后半句肯定是暗含了一个比较句，只不过比较的一方被省略了，than the fact ,or than we expected.....都没有太大的问题，它并不影响句意的表达。

但是前面的all the american, or the American...确实较难，我也被骗了！！以为是个复数就有确指了，现在想来复数和确指是两个不同的概念，大家心里有数就可以了！！

谁能告诉我第二个怎么改吗

是时态不对吗

superkun

第一题感觉是差了个the

第二题不明白啊，那里错了？

marshial

感觉the 不如all好，你说呢？

第二个感觉应用flows表示一般状态，前一句不应受后一句时态的影响，你说呢？

1.  Almost niety percent of American high school students claim they know how to read, yet this figure is probably somewhat lower.(  ......?) 2.As the only major American river that flowed in a west direction, the Ohio was the preferred route for settlers.(此题讨论过，但我记不得了，) 感觉the 不如all好，你说呢？ 第二个感觉应用flows表示一般状态，前一句不应受后一句时态的影响，你说呢？

mashial gg语气真是亲切呀！

我从意思上倒是区分不来这个the 和all，不过反正就是差个限定词的说

还有第二题改为flow是为了说明这是个客观存在的现象吗？

关于第一题，似乎不必非要强加the，因为这里是复数，且没有特指，这样的用法在美语中很普遍的；似乎前3各选项都没有错，感觉还是D，lower------>low...
