A. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to
B. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to
C. but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying
D. but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying
E. but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying
1. While連接的兩邊的對比義感覺需要比較強烈,but是一般轉折義,此點看A,B稍差
2. ABC中it多餘,因為前後兩件事是同一個人做的(參考193題的說明)
3. D中proving用法不對,用but連接 前後應該一致
4. 另,劃線尾部用in paying比in its payment to動詞優先名詞

Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve metropolitan Boston.
A. Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve
B. Concerns about public health have led to the construction of three separate sewer systems between 1876 and 1904 to serve
C. Concerns about public health have led between 1876 and 1904 to the construction of three separate sewer systems for serving
D. There were concerns about public health leading to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems serving
E. There were concerns leading between 1876 and 1904 to the construction of three separate sewer systems for serving
1.首先A、B、C開比,時態應為過去時,幹掉B、另可根據between 1876 and 1904的位置來判斷? B中該時間的位置不能明確說明該時間修飾的是哪一事件(system還是construction),而C中for serving用法不好,表達目的應該是to do PREP高頻考點
2.D,E選項將意思改了,變成了有一個concern,而不是concern導致XXXXX
3.E同C一樣用了for serving表達目的含義,用法錯誤
238. (26655-!-item-!-188;#058&002088) (GWD-4-4)
A new hair-growth drug is being sold for three times the price, per milligram, as the drug's maker charges for another product with the same active ingredient.
A. as
B. than
C. that
D. of what
E. at which
做題時先不看插入成份per milligram,逗號後面部分應跟three times the price,來修飾the price。A、B、D都可直接幹掉。E中用at which, 因有插入語,which後的部分只能用來修飾milligram,幹掉。
一致性
194. (28686-!-item-!-188;#058&003293)
Whereas the honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed and cannot be retracted from the skin, because the yellow jacket has a comparatively smooth stinger, it is therefore able to be pulled out and used again.
A. because the yellow jacket has a comparatively smooth stinger, it is therefore able to be pulled out and used
B. the comparative smoothness of the yellow jacket’s stinger allows them to pull it out and then can therefore use it
C. the yellow jacket’s stinger is comparatively smooth, and can therefore be pulled out and used
D. in comparison, the yellow jacket’s stinger is smooth, and thus able to be pulled out and used
E. in comparison, the yellow jacket has a smooth stinger, thus allowing it to be pulled out and used
1.對比題。句首whereas後跟的是the honeybee’s stinger,則逗號後應緊跟另一個stinger。且不能用in comparison,因為in comparison與whereas的意思重複,只有C對
211. (29202-!-item-!-188;#058&003905) (GWD-8-Q39)
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
1.對比題。Whereas 對比的前後兩部分應形成很好的一致- in mammals the tiny tubes對應 in birds the tubes。而B、C、D、E中均無法構成一致

Like the grassy fields and old pastures that the upland sandpiper needs for feeding and nesting when it returns in May after wintering in the Argentine Pampas, the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in farming practices.
A. the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in
B. the bird itself is vanishing in the northeastern United States as a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in
C. that the birds themselves are vanishing in the northeastern United States is due to residential and industrial development and changes to
D. in the northeastern United States, sandpipers’ vanishing is due to residential and industrial development and to changes in
E. in the northeastern United States, the sandpipers’ vanishing, a result of residential and industrial development and changing
Like構成的對比題。對比的前後兩部分也應形成很好的一致。Like的內容為the grassy fields and old pastures,則後面也應起碼是個“東西”。只有AB中,the bird itself符合要求。
(應注意A中的對比部分應為“the sandpipers vanishing”,即鳥消失這件事兒。C中用了that,破壞了對比結構。D、E,以in the northeastern United States隔開,也破壞了嚴謹的對比關係。且D、E中的in the northeastern United States並不能明確是修飾前文還是後文,產生歧義。)
