E. The systematic clearing of forests in the United St ates not only created farmland( especially in the Northeast) , giving consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture ,but it

这题选D, 窝当时选的e, 后来回看的时候confuse的有这几点：

1. 不是说"not only, but also" 结构是固定搭配吗？就算要省也只能省also， 这里怎么直接前面的”not only" 就没了？？
2. a选项为啥错？ 是因为not only和but also后接的句子不平行吗？not only是一般接倒装的吗？

2. Just like the background in art history needed by an archaeologist in order to evaluate finds of ancient art, the nautical archaeologist needs specialized knowledge of the history and theory of ship design in order to understand shipwrecks.
A. Just like the background in art history needed by an archaeologist in order to evaluate finds of ancient art, the
B.Just as an archaeologist who needs a background in art history  to evaluate finds of ancient art, a
C. Just as an archaeologist needs a background in art history to evaluate finds of ancient art, so a
D. Like the archaeologist who evaluates finds of ancient art and requires a background in art history, so the
E. As evaluating finds of ancient art requires an archaeologist who has a background in art history, so the
选c， 窝选的b。。这道题confuse的是： c是正选窝懂这句和未划线句子要求平行，但是c里的“ so a"是什么意思？ 为什么要加这个，直接接a nautical archaeologist为什么不行？？？ 一般的比较不都是直接noun开头吗这里的so a 为什么要加。。

3. Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and because of the economy's continued  strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised again in November.
A. because of the economy's continued  strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will
B. With the economy's strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target
C.  because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would
D. due to the economy's continued  strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target
E. due to the fact of economy's continued  strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will

这题选A,  窝选了D。。 这题感觉最揪心。。好多不懂的啊。。:
1. 这题窝看到predict出现，觉得是用conditional tense吗？？如果是conditional那就后面只能选would不能选will，然后窝就排除了a。。
2. 这题为啥非得用because of呢， due to为什么不行？是因为because ／because of 优于due to原则吗？？
3. 是不是一般只要出现了the fact ....就是错得？ 而且the fact一般后面是接that不是接of 把？？

           请各位nn大神帮忙！～～

第一个题， D选项不是not only but also结构；
就好像I love you, but I also love sleep.
but是并列连词，表转折，连接两个主句，所以but后面要有主语
also是副词，强调“也”

A选项错在not only but also结构中，but also中间不能有别的词

吴下锕蒙

第二个题
B错在as作为介词(后面跟名词)没有“像”的意思，as只有作为连词(后面接句子)时才会有“像”的意思；
as作为介词有三种意义，作为连词也有三种意义，你应该清楚吧

再看C，逗号前面是as引导的从句，逗号后面是主句，so是副词，表达因果关系；
所以语法上没错误

吴下锕蒙

Because适用于表达繁琐内容，可更好地体现一系列的事情；
Because of强调部分概念，跟直接原因，一般是简单名词(可以有其修饰语)。但because of sth doing (because of doing) 不如because从句表达清晰；
In that强调“不同之处在哪”，because强调原因；OG-60说不要用in that
Due to只接简单名词结构，且是结果句的直接原因；Due to一般不能放在句首
Due to 意味 caused by. 如果不能将Due to替换为caused by则错
•        Wrong: I was late due to the construction.
•        I was late because of the construction.
In general, "due to" only applies to nouns, since it means "caused by".
•        The traffic jam was due to an obstruction in the left lane.
•        The traffic jam due to the obstruction in the left lane caused 30m delays.

第三题due to在意义上不能替换为caused by，所以错；
而且D 的predit后面用虚拟语气没道理

第一题重在句子的意思，LZ仔细读题目，其实作者是想表达的是转折的意思，所以not only, but also在这里不适用诶

第二个题
B错在as作为介词(后面跟名词)没有“像”的意思，as只有作为连词(后面接句子)时才会有“像”的意思 ...

恩窝知道的几种as的分法，不过没有将它们分类。。是这几种不？
1. as作为介词时：比如，As a doctor, he needs to help people. 这里的as就是“作为”的意思。
2. 作为“ 当....时，“ 比如： As rainfall began to to decrease in the southwest, they abandoned their homes to join others.
3.作比较时表“像”的意思，eg：“ As his brother did, Tom fixed his car."
以上就是窝知道的as的不同意义了。。你说的作为连词作为介词的各三种意义是哪几种呢？曼哈顿上有不。。有窝就去找找。。

第三题答案错了吧，应该选C， predict不是持续性动词，have been predicting 有明显错误。但其实我想知道的是为什么不选B？
