(B) the molars作为through the application的逻辑主语,意思表达错误.应该是scientists through the

application而不是the molars through the application; who引导的非限定定语从句中their应该指代离

它最近的复数名词scientists,而从逻辑上their应该指代ancestors

(C) 原句中并没有表示时间关系,仅仅表示了scientist通过applying a new method…examined…and 

determined…没有表示当他们apply new method的同时,examined…and determined…;此外代词一

1)  动词能用单词本身表示名词形式的,就不要用the + -ing形式来表达名词形式

2) as的用法:as + n表示作为… , as + 主语+谓语表示动作之间进行比较

3) with 的用法:

the branches, with arms and legs hanging like socks on a clothesline. with引导的独立主格作状语就

近修饰sleeping

(A) 正确,两个动词returns和contributes都与主语一致,并列用两个并列的句子清晰的表现了降水回归

自然的两种途径.

(B) 主谓不一致,the remainder应该用单数谓语形式,contribute应该改为contributes; flow本身就是名

词形式,不需要用the flowing来表现名词形式.

(C) 主谓不一致,return应该改为returns,同时contribute应该改为contributes; the flowing应该改为the

flow.

(D) 介词with后面不能跟不定式to do,并且将两个并列成分改变为主从成分,从而改变了原句的意思.

(E) as使用有误,句子本意并不是对两个动作进行比较,而是称述两个事实;主谓不一致:return和

contribute均要改为单数形式.

句子结构:   句子;transpiration…returns…, while the balance contributes to…

(B) both…and结构不平行,应该改为for both college and graduate-level…或both for college and for

graduate-level…; but分句中,it只能指代1998,因此but分句中的重心是1998这个年份,而but前的分句:

In 1998 several new ventures were…句子重心在ventures,因此从意思上前后分句不平行;  用for + n

结构来修饰year,表达笨拙,不如when从句修饰year清晰.

1)  并列句主语相同,应该省略重复的主语

(A) animal found in…and that结构不平行

(B) and that没有平行的从句。

(C) 正确, animal found…and resembling两个分词修饰animal构成平行结构

(D) and连接的两个并列结构主语相同,后一个主语应该省略,去掉it.

(E) animal that is found…and that, resembling结构不平行，第二个that从句缺少谓语动词。

句子结构: First discovered.. Lina’s sunbird, a …animal found in… and resembling…, has…;句子

补充说明:  

正确选项C中两个分词之所以一个用-ed形式,一个用-ing形式是因为found表示了被动态:animal is

found in the Philippines,   而resembling表示的主动语态:such animal resembles a hummingbird.（与

OG10-210题用法相同，可参考OG解释）

注意以下两个句子的区别:

1. Intar has moved away from the Spanish classics and now draws on the works of contemporary

Hispanic authors.

2. Intar has moved away from the Spanish classics, and now it draws on the works of

contemporary Hispanic authors.

第一个句子中and前没有逗号,因此and连接的两个并列句中第二个并列结构应该省略重复的主语.  而

第二句子中and前有逗号,因此and连接两个独立的句子,每个句子都需要自己的主谓宾,因此第二个句

子中的it不能省略.

The Anasazi settlements at Chaco Canyon were built on a spectacular scale with more than 75

carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were connected by a complex regional

system of roads.

(A) with more than 75 carefully engineered structures, of up to 600 rooms each, were

(D) of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms and with each

(E) of more than 75 carefully engineered structures of up to 600 rooms each had been

考点: 句子结构（Grammatical Structure） 逻辑表达（Logical Predication）   有效用词（Diction）

1)  一个完整的句子之中只能有一个谓语动词，两个谓语动词之间必须有连词进行连接

2) each 型独立主格,强调句尾名词,形式为:

句子 +    复数名词结尾, each +  介词短语/形容词短语/-ed 形式/-ing 形式。

例:Chinese, the most ancient of living writing systems, consists of tens of thousands of

ideographic characters, each character a miniature calligraphic composition inside its own square

frame.

(A) 划线的 were 作为谓语和划线部分之前的谓语 were 重复，应该去掉或者用连词 and 连接；

(B) 正确，of up to 600 rooms each 作为插入语修饰 structures，connected 分词跳过插入语修饰前

 面最邻近的名词 structures.

(C) 将 with 改变成 of 后，介词的修饰对象发生改变；原句 with 结构修饰 built,而 of 结构修饰的是 scale;

将插入语变成句子一部分后，each 同位语修饰的对象也发生改变，变成了修饰最邻近的 rooms 而不

是 structures，rooms 被马路连接不符合题目原意和逻辑表达；each 同位语从句用过去完成时同样没

有必要性.

(D) 按 D 答案给出的句意，with each 和 on a spectacular scale 平行，但 each connected by 改变了

原文的句意，原文没有表达出每一个都被连接的意义

(E) 如果 each 做代词指代主语应该在 each 前面加上连词 and，E 答案中 each 后面是完整句子但没

有连词进行连接；had been 过去完成时没有必要性。

句子结构: The Anasazi settlements…were built on...structures,…,connected by…
