whereas~OG 136,还是有问题！

[讨论]Whereas的用法 - OG11-131和136说法有出入
131.  Over 75 percent of the energy produced in France
derives from nuclear power, while in Germany it is just
over 33 percent.
(A)  while in Germany it is just over 33 percent
(B)  compared to Germany, which uses just over 33 percent
(C)  whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33 percent of the energy produced in Germany
(D)  whereas just over 33 percent of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany
(E)  compared with the energy from nuclear power in Germany, where it is just over 33 percent

本题答案C
C的解释是：the two clauses joined by whereas indicate clearly that the comparison is between the different percentages of energy coming from nuclear power.

再看136题：
136.  Whereas in mammals the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, in birds the tubes form a random pattern.
(A)  Whereas in mammals the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, in birds the tubes
(B)  Whereas the tiny tubes for the conveying of nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in mammals in parallel lines, birds have tubes that
(C)  Unlike mammals, where the tiny tubes for conveying nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, birds’ tubes
(D)  Unlike mammals, in whom the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, the tubes in birds
(E)  Unlike the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells, which in mammals are arrayed in parallel lines, in birds the tubes

答案是A，解释：Whereas introduces two contrasting situations
or events and should be followed by parallel structures. In this sentence, whereas is immediately followed by a clause beginning
with the prepositional phrase in mammals; this means that the second part of the sentence must also be a clause that opens with a preposition that functions in the same way—in this case, in birds.
我已经知道了131的D选项为什么错。但是C是不是不符合136题的解释啊？？
这里说whereas连接的两个对比的分句必须是parallel的，那么上面的131的答案并不平行啊
BTW,我觉得131题考场上我必然选D，多么平行啊！逻辑上的错误又不是那么容易看出来···················我估计我是真心看不出那个THE的错误的············T T

这就是做题做少了，所以没建立正确的语感。不然一读D选项，就会发现逻辑关系有误。读题的时候尤其要注意代词，特指，泛指等关系。注意前后的逻辑关系，句子层次。不是孤立的看每个句子。

D的句子，in Germany修饰nuclear power。你自己想想什么意思？德国的核能？33%的能量来自德国的核能？这什么意思~！你不能说因为比例对着比例了，就多么平行了。

而且whereas的确要求平行结构，但并不是要求结构上严格的平行。

介词短语的位置很重要，如果你看到每个选项介词短语的位置也变化了，就要注意，修饰是否会变化，逻辑含义是否会变化。

强化你的思维，逻辑，语意至上~！！！这点无比重要啊~！

131的D选项中的THE ENERGY还表示了有可能是前面半句话中的那个energy而不是在德国的energy
whereas不要求严格平行的
