查过讨论帖, 把此题的考点整理了一下, 但还是有一疑问, 望大牛解答~~
考点:
1. like. 我的问题: be like和like有无区别?
2.所有格不能重复 即those of a warm-blooded mammal’s错误, 所以CDE排除
3.单复数. B选项从句主语是metabolism为单数, 所以were错误, 应该是was
4. species of dinosaur与dinosaur species. (增补) 我在看Manhattan的时候发现:
Manhattan里说, “如果是表达度量(如时间,数量,重量,人口等), 则要保持of介词短语,不要改成名词修饰语,或用's所有格”, 因为species是”类/种”, 所以用species of dinosaur优于dinosaur species, 再一次证明A优于B
