96.
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.
(A) for attracting females rise and fall in accordance with the surrounding temperature, and they can
in fact serve
(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
正确答案为D
Q:为什么E选项是错误的?
附上我不太明白的prep语法笔记中的解释:
(E)伴随状语使用错误,有作后置定语修饰temperature的歧义存在;possibly使用错误
希望大牛可以给予解答,谢谢!

serving在后面做状语,要么伴随,要么表结果。
这里number...rises and fells与serving没有伴随的关系,并不是同时发生的
表结果也不好,并不是说number rises and fells in order to serve as a thermometer
事实上,这里是对number of chirps的描述,用and最佳
所谓的修饰歧义,大概是想说serving有存在作定语的嫌疑。
Prep笔记中这个说法,我不是很喜欢,有些太概括了。
Manhattan中说,Present Participle without comma是作为Noun modifier;Present Participle with comma是Verb-Modifier
不过语法笔记这么说也不无道理:Prep笔记强调很多次,【,V-ing】从未失去做定语的功能,只是优先做状语而已。
就是在判断做状语不合适的时候,看看它做定语是不是合理,如果也不合理,就排除。
这个语法点还是在做题的时候不要太纠结了,用其他split大部分时候就能选出正确答案

我说说我的理解吧 先理解句意 句子意思是说每分钟的次数(n.)can serve as a thermometer(n) 而不是说前面整句话所包含的意义可以导致serving as a thermometer这个结果 弄明白这个以后 也就知道那些所谓修饰对象模糊 这样修饰不好这类的话其实主要还是因为表意不如D选项好了

利用今天看到的manhattan解題思路:
(1)選項開始處屬於verb modifiers,infinitive of purpose表達了verb的目的。讀完句子后,覺得attract是use的目的,因而排除ABC
(2)D項,it指代優選subject,指代正確,句子沒有明顯錯誤,pass;
(3)E項,present participle作為verb modifiers,有2點要求:
A、subject與present modifier must logically make sense;
B、verb modifiers modify verb. 就是說verb modifiers能夠answer questions about the verb (how, when, where, why..)
對於上A,數量serve as thermometer, make sense;
對於上B,考慮serve對rise and fall的修飾作用。serve沒能回答rise and fall的方式,時間,地點等相關問題。因而沒有modify的作用。所以E錯。
