In some species of cricket, the number of chirps per minute used by the male for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can in fact serve as an approximate thermometer.
(B) for attracting females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, which can in fact serve
(C) in attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving
(D) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and it can in fact serve
(E) to attract females rises and falls in accordance with the surrounding temperature, in fact possibly serving

請問一下(E)不好的地方在哪裏，是在這句中用possibly會造成不同意思嗎？
還是有其它不好的地方呢？

[dibert8]

覺得 (E) 不好在於 serving 修飾前面那件'事情',而不是一樣'東西'.
possibly (可能) 和 can (能力) 的確意思不盡相同.

答案: D

[amanikang]

請問D的it是代替species媽?

[dibert8]

it 指主詞 (number of chirps per minute).

[hwatai]

關於(e)

有in fact
如果再用possibly

一個很明確有力，卻馬上又接了個委婉表達，語感似乎不是很流暢

[willyyang]

小弟說一下自己的看法，各位大大幫忙看一下

(D)裡面的 it = the number of chirps
serve as 翻譯成"做為, 視為"

(E) 如果是用 participle 來寫，變成形容前方的 rises and falls，不合邏輯

當然還有一些老師說的技巧

什麼原題有助動詞，答案有要多選之類的
可是不建議大家用，因為常會用錯

請問答案D是如何對秤的？？
看到了rises and falls 又看到了, and it can in fact serve
實在看不出是怎麼對秤的

還是動詞rises and falls看成一體
所以就是the number of chirps per minute used by the male for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature跟, and it can in fact serve as an approximate thermometer對稱
在, and it can in fact serve 加逗點是因為前面的句子太長, 加逗點可以讓讀者看的清楚

請問我的理解對嗎？？？？

[dibert8]

逗點後面是次要結構,補充說明而已.(有另起一句的味道,所以主詞 it 也寫出來了)

天ㄚ～真難～這讓我想到GWD的24-23, 其中的and those that would have the largest impact on people也是不在句子的and平衡結構裡, 只是插入句, 很容易讓人誤會, 然後錯亂 @ @

24-23 Discussion of greenhouse effects has usually focused on whether the Earth would warm and by how much, but climatologists have indicated all along that the most obvious effects, and those that would have the largest impact on people, would be extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess.
A) the most obvious effects, and those that would have the largest impact on people, would be extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess.
B) the effects that are the most obvious ones, extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, would be those impacting the most on people.
C) those effects to have the largest impact on people, extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, are what are the most obvious effects.
D) extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, the most obvious effects, that they would have the largest impact on people.
E) extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, which are the most obvious effects, are those to impact the most on people.

Ans:A
