13. The nation's three military academies have seen a
dramatic rise in applications, one fueled by a resur-
gence of patriotism, increasing tuition costs at
private colleges, and improved recruiting by the
academies.
(A) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism,
increasing tuition costs at private colleges,
and improved recruiting by the academies.
(B) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, tuition
costs that have increased at private colleges,
and academies improving their recruiting
(C) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism,
   private colleges that increased their tuition
   costs, and recruiting improvements by the
   academies
(D) fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, tuition
   costs increasing at private colleges, and
   academies improving their recruiting
(E) fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, increasing
tuition costs at private colleges, and
academies improving their recruiting
答案是A,主要考平行,我想问一下A的one在此处指代什么意思?
不要为何不行? fuled...作过去分词修饰不可以吗

16. Because natural gas is composed mostly of methane,
a simple hydrocarbon, vehicles powered by natural
gas emit less of certain pollutants than the burning
of gasoline or diesel fuel.
(A) less of certain pollutants than the burning of
   gasoline or diesel fuel
(B) fewer of certain pollutants than burning gaso-
line or diesel fuel do
(C) less of certain pollutants than gasoline or
diesel fuel
(D) fewer of certain pollutants than does burning
gasoline or diesel fuel
(E) less of certain pollutants than those burning
gasoline or diesel fuel
答案是E,
问的问题比较土,我不知道为何less修饰pollutants 这个可数名词,复数码,
初中不是说可数名词用fewer,不可数的才用less啊?

26. Once common throughout the Western plains,
black-footed ferrets are thought to have declined in
number as a result of the poisoning of prairie dogs,
their prey.
(A) black-footed ferrets are thought to have
declined in number as
(B) it is thought that the decline in number of
black-footed ferrets is
(C) the decline in the number of black-footed
ferrets is thought of as
(D) that black-footed ferrets have declined in their
numbers is thought to be
(E) the numbers of the black-footed ferret are
thought to have declined as
难道一定要用as a result of 这样一种形式吗,我觉得D的that引导的主语从句也不错啊,为什么答案是A呢

13、ONE指a dramatic rise，不要不行呀，因为那个applications会混淆。
16、这里LESS是修饰EMIT，我觉得，这里是副词。
26、D的句子不完整，没有主句的主语，而且没有in their numbers的用法。

非常感谢braveMBA Bro 的解答
13,明白
18,的解释使我豁然开朗,看完答案后我想了好久都没有想出来
26还是有些晕,D有主语吧,难道? D
中的that 引导的"black-footed ferrets have declined in their numbers"
不可以做is thought 的主语吗,
我举个例子: That he will go to the USA is known to his friends.
in this sentence, "he will go to the US"不就是is known的主语吗?

16.我认为pollutants是不可数的，因为污染物怎么可能可数，总不能说一个，二个污染物吧！所以要用LESS，如果作副词讲的话，EMIT是及物动词，题目就多了OF。
26。从逻辑意思考虑，应该是“黑脚的雪豹被认为在数量上下降”而非是“黑脚的雪豹在数量上的下降被认为.....”所以A的意思最为合理。

不可数名词还要加S吗?,应该不要吧?

好像也有理的呀!

26, 补充一点:

要考虑句子意思的合理性,common的逻辑主语只能ferret,而不是数量,事件等.

16,首先要考虑平行,这是句子的主干.

因为前面有once common throughout the western plains，所以主语如果是一个THAT引导的主语从句不对，没有逻辑关系。
fewer
对于16题当然可以采取比较结构来突破。我觉得昨天考虑LESS是副词有些问题，应该是名词，LESS的用法很灵活，在这里如果是FEWER将有修饰问题，因为它只能做ADJ或INT。

16题里的less of 是副词的比较级，修饰动词。（本语法点在白勇的语法课上讲过。但是否正确，还有待评价。目前姑且算是正确的解释。）

lyricling

26. once common throughout the western plains,
black-footed ferrets are thought to have declined in
number as a result of the poisoning of prairie dogs,
their prey.
once common throughout the western plains，放在句子开头，决定了本句的逻辑主语只能是black-footed ferrets.

26 明白了,还是逻辑没有学好
16的less就记住这个结构,不过下次能不能作对还是?
