OG 10 158

158. With only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.

(A)  With

(B)   As

(C)   Being

(D)  Despite having

(E)Although accounting for

1逻辑意思一级排除 A,B,C

原句应有蕴含一个对比的意思

the contrast between the size of the United States population and the activities of its citizens.

2词法二级排除D

with/ having

With in choice A and Despite having in choice D confusingly suggest that United States citizens somehow possess, rather than constitute, 5 percent of the world's population.

答案是E
这是我看的总结上的解释。。可是although的唯一词性是连词啊，连词是一定要加句子的不是么？

Fuckitup

我记得有一个语法点是说 条件、让步、时间状语从句是可以用连词+ing形式的~不过although+ing我见到的不是很多，最常见是while，while+doing表达“当……时”

Although (US citizens) accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume 28 percent of its nonrenewable resources, drive more than one-third of its automobiles, and use 21 times more water per capita than Europeans do.


这边其实不完全是although+doing的形式，正确的说应该是当although主句和从句的主语一致的时候，although的从句部分可以省略主语，在这边就变成了although accounting for了。。


Hope it helps ^_^
