我在网上搜到一张Yana人房屋的照片，

我觉得GWD－11－14题原文的意思应该是“这个屋子是圆锥型的，它的木杆框架上覆盖了松树的树皮，然后用泥土堆到3－4英尺高。”

也就是说后面的成分its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.  都是用来说明房子是怎么建的。banked with dirt的对象其实是framework of poles

所以我坚持A是正确的

而C的意思是整个房子是用图堆的，而我们看图片可以知道，房子应该是树枝、树皮搭建的，又用土作为黏合剂。这个房子确实就只有1米多高。

Maxie MM 太强了,都找到照片为证了!PFPF

把句子简化一下，看看，还是A对

The house was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with bark and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.

 

A.    banked with dirt to a height of

B.     banked with dirt as high as that of

C.    banked them with dirt to a height of

4. was banked with dirt as high as
5. was banked with dirt as high as that of

Q14:

The single-family house constructed by the Yana, a Native American people who lived in what is now northern California, was conical in shape, its framework of poles overlaid with slabs of bark, either cedar or pine, and banked with dirt to a height of three to four feet.

A.    banked with dirt to a height of

B.     banked with dirt as high as that of

C.    banked them with dirt to a height of

4. was banked with dirt as high as
5. was banked with dirt as high as that of

支持D选项

单纯从语法的角度,A和E都没问题,

但A中 to a height of three to four feet并不是dirt的高度,而是指framework 的高度,这是不可理喻的,

D中 as high as...是修饰dirt的,指用那么高的土堆起来,这个比较合理.

哪位NN也来看看这道题目，我选择的是D，主要觉得to a height of这个用法太奇怪了。
I am as high as seven feet. ==> Correct.
But how can we say
I am to a height of seven feet???
另外，我觉得bank与was conical或者overlaid并列都有可能，所以这里不能通过这个判断。

终于找到组织了.

大面积向A靠拢.

D的逻辑意思挺难理解的:房子只用土加水垒成圆锥型,这个难度还是很大的吧.而且Yana人有进步到这个程度吗.所以土一定是用来固定主要支撑物:杆子.

native american个子是挺小的,亚洲人曾认为是我们的同族,但是人家不领情.所以帐蓬形状的房子只有3,4尺高,是合理的.

我今天做了prep，也遇到这道题了是A没错

图片很形象，看了就明白了

真是很钦佩大家的creative learning～

一开始选了D，还是支持a吧，毕竟banked with和overlaid with多平行的，还有AND.

而且有PREP作证
