用BAT大神的方法刷OG中，有几个题目有疑问，求交流（陆续更新）

有点多哦，烦请各位看完……
一
OG1. The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia,
were sighted in 1770 by the English navigator Captain
James Cook, by whom they were named supposedly
because its sheer wet rocks glistened like glass.
(A) by whom they were named supposedly
because its
(B) by whom they were named supposedly and their
(C) naming them supposedly since their
(D) who so named them supposedly because their
(E) who so named it since supposedly their


OG解释：C：the preposition since loses the important causal
logic of the sentence.
疑问： 对于C的错误无可争议，但是解释中这句话我不理解。since 不是也可以表示因果关系吗？怎么就loses important logic了呢？


二、it is not until……when…… 这种表达和 it is not until …… that…… 有什么区别吗？


三、
OG6.In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the
Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for
cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by
tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so
that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus
was growing on the walls.
(A) due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which
raised its humidity to such levels so that salt
from the stone was crystallizing
(B) due to moisture that tourists had exhaled,
thereby raising its humidity to such levels that
salt from the stone would crystallize
(C) because tourists were exhaling moisture, which
had raised the humidity within them to levels
such that salt from the stone would crystallize
(D) because of moisture that was exhaled by
tourists raising the humidity within them to levels
so high as to make the salt from the stone
crystallize
(E) because moisture exhaled by tourists had raised
the humidity within them to such levels that salt
from the stone was crystallizing

OG说C的整个结构很笨拙。笨拙怎么理解？错误太多就算笨拙吗？


四、OG12
12. Rising inventories, when unaccompanied
correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead
to production cutbacks that would hamper
economic growth.


(D) if not accompanied by correspondingly
increased sales, possibly leads
(E) if not accompanied by corresponding increases
in sales, can lead



OG说：correspondingly increased sales 很awkward，这又怎么说？我的理解是correspondingly修饰increased，整个短语的中心是sale，而句子要表达的意思应该是increase会导致后面的结果，而不是sale，所以错了。但是貌似和og的理解有出入。


五、
14. Sunspots, vortices of gas associated with strong
electromagnetic activity, are visible as dark spots on
the surface of the Sun but have never been sighted on
the Sun’s poles or equator.


(C) appear on the surface of the Sun as dark spots
although never sighted at



C Although typically introduces a subordinate
clause, which has a subject and a verb, but
here there is no subject and sighted is not a
complete verb.

难道不能视为相同主语的省略么？


六、
15. Warning that computers in the United States are not
secure, the National Academy of Sciences has urged
the nation to revamp computer security procedures,
institute new emergency response teams, creating a
special nongovernment organization to take charge of
computer security planning.


(B) creating a special nongovernment organization
that takes



B Creating violates the parallelism of the
previous two elements; and is needed in this
series; since the organization does not yet
exist, that takes is illogical.

OG解释说用that不合理是因为organization当时还不存在，用that修饰就不合理？ 这句话我不能理解啊！！！ 求解释

1.since还可以引导时间状语从句
2.when和that的区别
3.awkward的就是不能清晰地make sense，C中because tourists were exhaling moisture，which后面就不用看了，因为直接原因是moisture导致humidity上升，而不是因为 tourists were exhaling moisture。them指代不清，过去完成时用法也有问题。表达的意思没有E清楚。
4.你理解得没错，细微的差别会导致句意的变化。
5.athough省略主谓只在主系表结构中。
6.that从句没法表达in order to 的意思。其实就是让你用creat sth to do。
参考。

感谢楼上的两位~ 2楼的文档好给力，不过有些疑问和我的不一样哦。下午又刷了20题 继续啊~

21.Neuroscientists, having amassed a wealth of
knowledge over the past twenty years about the brain
and its development from birth to adulthood, are now
drawing solid conclusions about how the human brain
grows and how babies acquire language.

(D) Neuroscientists have amassed a wealth of
knowledge over the past twenty years about the
brain and its development from birth to adulthood,

OG的解释为：D Th e fi nal descriptor in present tense, now
drawing conclusions … does not fi t the
opening clause, which is in present-perfect
tense (have amassed a wealth …) and seems
to modify adulthood.

这句话什么意思呢？为什么说存在时态上not fit in？我完全没有看出来，我认定这个选项错的原因是因为改变了句子意思的重心。希望有人能解释一下OG的这句话解释。

33. Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent
prices plunging, the manufacturer has announced that
it will cut production by closing its factories for two
days a month.

(D) Due to plunging computer chip prices from an
oversupply,

OG的解释：Th is backward description of the events
behind the announcement of factory
closings is confusing and awkward. 不太理解这句话的意思。求解释。我的理解是due to prices 不准确，但是og的解释好像不是这么个意思。

37. Although schistosomiasis is not often fatal, it is so
debilitating that it has become an economic drain on
many developing countries.
(C) so debilitating is it as to become an economic

C选项改成 so debilitating as to become an economic 是否正确呢？
