有同學來信詢問如下:
1.(24465-!-item-!-188;#058&000982)
To meet the rapidly rising market demand for fish and seafood, suppliers are growing fish twice as fast as their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment by nearly half and raising them on special diets.
(A) their natural growth rate, cutting their feed allotment
(B) their natural growth rate, their feed allotment cut
(C) growing them naturally, cutting their feed allotment
(D) they grow naturally, cutting their feed allotment
(E) they grow naturally, with their feed allotment cut
解題步驟:
(1)判斷句子結構:S是suppliers,V是are growing,O是fish。出現比較as fast as注意什麼在比,選項A、B動作與名詞比較,比較不一致,殺!
(2)未劃線有and raising,選項E不平衡,殺!
(3)選項C、D決選,兩者差異考點在逗號前面,無技巧可用只好觀察句意。未劃線有them指代fish,C:suppliers are growing them naturally(自然地養殖魚?句意有問題!)D:they grow naturally(魚自然地生長,供應商養殖魚類的生長速度與魚類自然生長速度作比較,句意符合邏輯也符合原句意思。)故選D!
最後欣賞一下正確答案:句意通暢、比較一致、句末平衡且伴隨狀語恰為常出現之正確答案。
