Antarctica receives more solar radiation than does any other place on Earth, yet the temperatures are so cold and the ice cap is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise, the water levels of the oceans would rise 250 feet and engulf most of the world’s great cities.   

is reflective, so that little polar ice melts during the summer; otherwise,

is so reflective that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; were it to do so,

so reflective that little polar ice melts during the summer, or else

reflective, so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer, or

reflects so that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; if it did

答案是B，A为什么不对?otherwise可用虚拟语气吗？谢谢

The sentence contains the structure of "so...that..", therefore A is incorrect.

windaisy

"SO COLD"中不能理解成SO用于强调COLD，只能用于SO...THAT结构中吗？

A的错误如下

1不平行

2 so.. that

3.虚拟没有

1不平行

the ice cap is reflective不是与the temperatures are so cold平行吗？ 一定要有SO才算平行？

2 so.. that

3.虚拟没有

就是说OTHERWISE不能用于表示虚拟，RIGHT?

谢谢答复！！！

呵呵，没错，有so才平行，才好和后面的that搭配

B、is so reflective that little of the polar ice melts during the summer; were it to do so,

是were it not to do so的笔误吧，要不意思上难以理解啊？

没有错.原句是说冰很少融化,如果融化了(were it to do so),就会造成水面上升.

were it to do so 好像不对啊！怎么可以用将来时态？

我倾向于C。so reflective之前省略了is。

were it to do so是虚拟语态if it were to do so的倒装形式。表示与现在事实相反。
