兩題我都選B...

快公佈答案吧 ~~

[illuna]

這兩題我選A和C...理由如下:

Q652這題並不會造成which的指代模糊成airplanes而不是wings

再者B的答案smooth沒有改成副詞smoothly...shaped變成Vpp當形容詞用...

似乎有改變句意之嫌...

Q4這題我選C是因為which前後用兩個「,」隔開....表示是非限定修飾法的定義句...又species是單複數同型...句意看起來是單數型...不會被they指代....

不過好難啊....看看有誰會解啊?

兩題正確答案都是B

Q3: A 和 B 僅有別於句意. smooth 在這裡當形容詞修飾wings,
比當副詞修飾shape. 語意還來得貼切. smooth 修飾wings,
so perfectly shapped 則與 後面的that 作語意連貫.

Q4: C is not correct because "which means" is not proper to be used here. the cluase that follow "wasps" is to modify the antecedent 先行詞, showing readers what kinds of wasps they are. In addition, the sentence struture in this sentence makes no sentence. "Yello jackets numberamong.....wasps, wasps which means they live in a highly cooperative and organized society, almost all" female--the queen..... is improper. Note that the subject in this sentece is yellow jackets and the verb is number.

看來是我自己閱讀不行....多謝指正!!

魚算妳厲害...我要去抱棉被痛哭了....:'(

妳的英文跟中文寫得都很好啊~~~不過我小改了一下因為在這邊發表括弧A或B或C各代表MSN的表情符號...現在已修正....:)

請見諒!!

補充一下，652這一題是莫老師親自封的"750分高分題"
根據句意及wing的補充說明，選B確實最好

比較讓我困擾的是Q4，我刪到最後是AB選一個，理由同652，但我分不清AB該如何挑
A是前面先改分詞living，後面維持where they consist
B則是前半段維持wraps that live, 後半段改分詞，consisting
有沒有人可以教一下，如何判斷
我上機考有做到一題類似題，AB 選一個，我每次都錯

in A , the relative clauses where is fallcious to imply that "society " is a location.


society
1 Society is people in general, thought of as a large organized group.

2 A society is the people who live in a country or region, their organizations, and their way of life.

3 A society is an organization for people who have the same interest or aim.

4 Society is the rich, fashionable people in a particular place who meet on social occasions.

那如果是這樣我就想請教魚mm啦
如果A 選項改為that(或是which) they consist....就可以了嗎
還有沒有其他也必須注意的考點

[Grace]

若改成..... society that insists of 才對

cosist of almost entirely female 是在補充說明society, 先行詞 that/which 不可以接they 代名詞, 因為關代that/which stands for 先行詞 society 當後面子句的主詞.

eg. I have a family, which it consists of five members. {X}
I have a family, which consists of five members. {O}
I have a family consisiting of five members { O }
