GWD7-Q13:

Like the grassy fields and old pastures that the upland sandpiper needs for feeding and nesting when it returns in May after wintering in the Argentine Pampas, the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in farming practices.

1. the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in

2. the bird itself is vanishing in the northeastern United States as a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in

3. that the birds themselves are vanishing in the northeastern United States is due to residential and industrial development and changes to

4. in the northeastern United States, sandpipers’ vanishing is due to residential and industrial development and to changes in

5. in the northeastern United States, the sandpipers’ vanishing, a result of residential and industrial development and changing

答案B ,A为什么错了

Like the grassy fields and old pastures (that the upland sandpiper needs for feeding and nesting when it returns in May after wintering in the Argentine Pampas,

你体会下逻辑意思,A 选项中  象(that         )草原地

the grassy fields and old pastures 是核心词,that the upland sandpiperneeds for feeding and nesting 需要筑巢味食的

定语从句修饰核心词

所以A the sandpipers 跟the grassy fields and old pastures不可比

虽然 B答案也不是好到哪里去,但明显消除了上面的误解

楼上的意思是不是like A...,B...

A,B应该是同一类的 选项A中the sandpipers (是一种鸟),the grassy fields and old pastures(草原 牧地)所以不能比较 这个问题我也想了

可是选项B 中the bird和the grassy fields and old pastures(草原 牧地)也不是一类啊

再次请楼上示出 谢谢

首先C、D、E排除是肯定的

A中如你说，like A ，B表达同类的概念，但这个题目好象不是单纯的在比较A，B，而是在比较sth  is vanishing这样一个事情，ETS为了让你不选A，故意把题A中会出现的sandpipers放在定语从句中让你觉得不要选A（还友善的提示：他们可不同类呀，呵呵，我猜想）

由此看你别无选择，只有选B
