总结了一下昨天的SC,问题一大堆:
762 The growth of the railroads led to the abolition of local times, which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing from city to city, and to the establishment of regional times.
(A) which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
(B) which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and which differed
(C) which were determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
(D) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differed(E)
(E) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing
Choice D presents a false compound: determined is an adjective modifying local times and differed is the simple past tense of to differ. Because they serve different grammatical functions, these words cannot be treated as parallel elements joined by and. Choice E is best: without which, determined and differing function not as verb elements but as parallel modifiers of local times.
这段解释我有点疑问:既然说differed这里是动词不能用and和前面的determined 连接对应,那么为什么differed就不能算过去分词,这样不就可以对称了吗?而要用现分differing?我觉得用differed更好呀。
763.The guiding principles of the tax plan released by the Treasury Department could have even a greater significance for the economy than the particulars of the plan.
(A) even a greater significance for the economy than
(B) a significance that is even greater for the economy than
(C) even greater significance for the economy than have
(D) even greater significance for the economy than do(D)
(E) a significance even greater for the economy than have
这道题目错在选了C,C和D的区别就在could后是原形do(have是实意动词,than后面要用do替代实意动词have。而我没有掌握好,以为补have和前面的have对称。
764.The gyrfalcon, an Arctic bird of prey, has survived a close brush with extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than when the use of DDT was sharply restricted in the early 1970’s.
(A) extinction; its numbers are now five times greater than
(B) extinction; its numbers are now five times more than
(C) extinction, their numbers now fivefold what they were
(D) extinction, now with fivefold the numbers they had(A)
(E) extinction, now with numbers five times greater than
这道题目错在numbers比较应该用greater而不是more,唉~~~这都会错,不应该啊不应该,该打!!!
766.The human growth hormone, made by the pituitary gland, is secreted during sleep in higher concentrations than when awake.
(A) during sleep in higher concentrations than when awake
(B) when sleeping in higher concentrations than waking hours
(C) in higher concentrations during sleeping than waking
(D) in higher concentrations during sleep than during waking hours(D)
(E) in higher concentrations when asleep than when awake
我在D和E中犹豫,后来还是选错了,仔细看应该是 human who is asleep or awake, not the hormone,这里主语是hormone,所以E错。还是要仔细再仔细啊!!!
不过这题C要是waking前面有during是不是就对了呢?
767.The increased popularity and availability of televisions has led to the decline of regional dialects, language variations which originate from diverse ethnic and cultural heritages and perpetuated by geographic isolation.
(A) which originate from diverse ethnic and cultural heritages and perpetuated
(B) that originated from diverse ethnic and cultural heritages and perpetuated
(C) originated from diverse ethnic and cultural heritages and perpetuated
(D) originating from diverse ethnic and cultural heritages and perpetuated(D)
(E) originating from diverse ethnic and cultural heritages and perpetuating
我觉得C更好啊,originated和prepetuated对称,意思也蛮合理,为什么是originating from呢?
777.The man was always aware, sometimes proudly and sometimes resentfully, that he was a small-town Midwesterner who was thrust into a world that was dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than him.
(A) who was thrust into a world that was dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than him
(B) who had been thrust into a world that was dominated by more wealthy, educated, and polished people than him
(C) who had been thrust into a world dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and people more polished than he was
(D) thrust into a world dominated by more wealthy, educated, and polished people than him(E)
(E) thrust into a world dominated by wealthier, better-educated, and more polished people than he
这题than后面到底是he,him?还是he was?怎么看都觉得than he别扭.
