几到老题请教[求助]

答案有时会错 The underground reservoir contain an estimated quadrillion gallons of water, The underground reservoir contain an estimated quadrillion gallons of water, (ans2) 我觉得奇怪的是第一句应相当于the equivalent of Lake Huron’s water, 难道不需表达’湖水的等量吗’? Helen’s mother was recovering at the hospital . Helen’s mother was recovering at the hospital . (ans2) why? 我想是second attack and fatal attack 的差别, 但何以必须表达这种意思? Study shows that, for the past decade, more children Study shows that, for the past decade, more children (ans2) 我觉得第一句很好, more children had mothers who…than those who …. 但答案那句的意思我不能理解 The water supply was endangered by the scarcity of funds The water supply was endangered by the scarcity of funds (ans2) 又是一tricky ? why 2? The lush swamps are vanishing at a rate of 39 square miles a year, The lush swamps are vanishing at a rate of 39 square miles a year, (ans2) 我想第一句似乎清楚一点, 奇怪的是原句中是原级比较, 为何答案变成比较及? Corporate finance committees do not plan the detailed activities of the various divisions in a large firm, but Corporate finance committees do not plan the detailed activities of the various divisions in a large firm, (ans1) Tricky! 为何答案是1 XXX points out that crime rates have risen XXX points out that crime rates have risen (ans1) while在比较句型中一般是较好, 但为何这里用as, 虽然第二句比较啰唆, 但as 的意义很模糊 thanks everybody, [em07]

the equivalent of Lake Huron已经表达了一个完整的意思，再用所有各的形式，就罗嗦了。OG中的第二题有专门提到这种用法。另外，所有各一般是用在生物上的。

前后的意思是不一样的：1）第二次致命的；2）第二次创伤、也是致命的一种创伤。

第一句将主语省略了，导致比较不清晰。第二句的省略是完全的，而且贴进主语和后面的进行说明的状语。

由于后面的是补充说明funds的，若第一句话改成for completing the。。。就可以了。

一家之言：
1.the equivalent of Lake Huron中的equivalent指的就是quadrillion gallons of water
the equivalent of Lake Huron's 不符合所有格的表达方式，可参考OG里的一道题“about the size of 某个州名”。

2.when she suffered a second fatal attack
second可作副词修饰fatal，引起歧义：她的病不是最致命的，是“次致命”的。这就不如
a second and fatal attack表达的清楚：second是形容词，修饰attack

3.不知道第二句为什么对

4.for the completing of new tunnels   我想错误的原因在于completing应改为completion

5.a rate as fast as previous thought已经指出了倍数two and a half times ，怎么和同级比较连用呢？
这个错误也可以在OG里找到例子。

6.第二句的一个错误 there is a decline...and an improvement
  is应为are

Study shows that, for the past decade, more children Study shows that, for the past decade, more children (ans2) Louisa_xy和tongxun分析得很好，谢谢！但上面那题，我还是有些费解，than后面的部分 （not had mothers ）和前面的children如何形成对比的？这个句子看起来不对称呀？

我觉得两句都是不好：）
我想根据答案来看，1的答案可能把比较的对象分得太开了，导致逻辑关系不明朗
在我做过的题目中，有过类似的错误

感谢诸位大侠 more children 是否相当于 more children (that had mothers who were employed) than (those that) not had mothers who were employed 如真是这样, 那这提就真是精采了 关于a rate two and half times 那提 OG中no.5题目是这样 Megalithic monuments are nearly 2000 years Mediterranean predecessors. Ans: (B) older than any of their supposed 当初做这题时, 因为文法上的理由, 可以挑出这比较级的答案 但费解的是 two and half times as …as 不是可行的吗? 似乎看过 twice as many as…之类的写法 这里还有一题 So many people were hurt and window < broken that an ordinance was issued forbidding> golf in the streets. So many people were hurt and window < had been broken that an ordinance was issued to forbid> golf in the streets. (Ans:1) 奇怪的是window后没有 be动词, 另外 to forbid表达issue的目的不是应该较佳吗?

老题里还有一题比较题是接近 more children 那题的写法, 在此供大家参考 The Parthenon is larger than for a Doric temple.

tongxun

1、more children 这题：就是这么精彩。省略！避免罗嗦。
2、So many people were hurt and window < had been broken 前后的时态不一致。由于这两个事情没有先后的区别，所以应该用相同的时态。
估计were被省略了。这个在OG上就有一题：the result published

The water supply was endangered by the scarcity of funds The water supply was endangered by the scarcity of funds (ans2) og no.99 Impacts of asteroids may have caused reversals in the Earth’s magnetic field, the onset of ice ages, 80 million years ago, and volcanic eruptions. 在这里the splitting又合理了, split同样有名词可以代表裂开的动作 同样, the completing为何不对, 或者是for的问题导致?

To vin410:
With which is modifying funds, the sentence is saying .... endangered by ... kind of funds. Not .... endangered by .... for ( reason).
