Prep2012-Pack1-SC-065 难度 hard 快二战了仍旧见“比较”死尤其那种长点儿的难点儿的牛儿们救救我

lz被“hard”吓倒了吧？我觉得那个是心理作用，我也做完了pack, 其实回头来还是median错的多。。。

ok, 回到这个题目，首先which跳跃修饰到的名词没有一个意思是通的，排除d,e; c同样错在是这个行为导致了reducing rate, 而不是动物，排除

a,b的话，the rate at which看见了比their rate xxx有好感，就算这里用their rate，那后面比较，应该用另一种动物的rate，而不是直接比较birds

我上来直接过掉b，因为lower后面必有than阿，不用被长结构吓倒。。。

看选项，A没看出问题来先留着。B选项中energy后面的it指代非常奇怪，读下来发现它应该是一个独立句子的主句而不是一个复合句的一个中间提示成分，这样的话B最好的方式是在it前面打个逗号，不好，扔了。C选项应该真心绕的慌，读下来累死了，没A好，扔了。D选项中comparing后面的them指代不对，如果是rate的话应该是单数，E选项中还是It还是要指代前面的rate，但是因为没有介词如for来引导划线外的isolated birds，所以整个句子并没有构成rate和rate的比较，变成了rate和bird的比较，明显是错的，事实上前面几个选项细读有些也有这个问题。最后剩下A，选之。

The long underline is mostly dealing with meaning.

You need to, firstly, figure out what the oringinal sentence intended to express, then try to find the answer choices matching the original meaning best and, at last, compare those with similar meanings to single out ones expressing the meaning not so correctly and concisely and see whether the best answer choice you prefer has no misunderstanding.

Also, you may apply the traditional way to rule out the choices with "absolute mistake" for you. Thus requires a good master of the general English grammar and pretty much practice, perhaps spending much time, if you are not familiar with the grammar, because you need to go through every choice very carefully to seek every possible mistake. The rest of work is still dealing with meaning.

To sum up, meaning is the most vital factor you need to consider when coping with a sentence with long underline, and it is the meaning that makes the best choice stand out.

我觉得第7楼，8楼和15楼的同学说得非常好~~~

补充下我的想法吧，这题先看句意，有逻辑上的因果关系，然后注意到各个选项的开头是个split，"comma + v-ing"完美表达因果逻辑，而"and"（表并列）和 "which"都不行，因此直接排除CDE.

在A和B里面找差异点，首先映入眼帘的是"the rate" VS. "their rate"，这是很明显的线索——pronoun issue. "the rate at which they burn energy"要好过"their rate of burning energy"，原因：
1. they burn energy意思很明确，they指的是male emperor penguins；而their rate of burning energy其中their也可以理解为指代eggs啊;
2. "the rate at which ..."类似这样的表达是GMAT非常喜欢的scholarly english，类似的还有"do so" "the case with" "whose rank includes"...当然这是做题总结形成的感觉。
到这里虽已经对A有好感，但我不敢100%确定，继续看：
A有so that，B没有。B的语法有问题。至此可以确定选A了。

B还有个"when compared with"，这个问题大了！首先，"compared with"不能和比较级（这里的"lower"）联用。
WRONG: Compared to an apple, a pear is sweeter.
RIGHT: Compared to an apple, a pear is sweet.

其次，什么叫做"when compared"? 通常"when compared"都是逻辑上错误的。Read literally!!!
WRONG: When compared to an apple, a pear is sweet.
这句话的"when"相当于"if ... then ..."逻辑：当被比较的时候，bla bla. 换句话说，这句子要说的意思是，当进行比较的时候，梨子是甜的。难道说——咱人不进行比较，梨子就不甜了？梨子甜，这是梨子本身的属性，跟人们是否进行比较无关，所以"when compared"的逻辑就是错误的，去掉"when"才对。

至于A的比较的表达，"than it would be for ..."，类似句子见OG13 #107.

In order to conserve the energy and heat they need to spend the entire winter sitting motionless overincubating eggs, male emperor penguins huddle over the nests in groups, thereby reducing the rate atwhich they burn energy so that it is 25 percent lower than it would be for isolated birds.

thereby reducing the rate at which they burn energy so that it is 25 percent lower than it would be for

thereby reducing their rate of burning energy it is 25 percent lower when compared with

and they thereby reduce by 25 percent the rate they burn energy, as compared to what it would bewith

which thereby reduces by 25 percent their rate of burning energy, when comparing them to

which thereby reduces the rate they burn energy so that it is 25 percent lower than

答案A
这个题长得确实是有点儿残，木有办法，从CD上下载的那个PREP2012 PACK1里头的，我实在是还原不了了~~~

比较题嘛我是总是做不对的尤其是碰上这种长一点儿的复杂点儿的

拿到这个题，怎么判断比什么然后快速锁定观察选项的比较点呢？？？
那位大牛指点一下我吧~

快考试了????

~~~谢谢啦~~~
