　　6. 一道考句子意思的理解。

　　蜘蛛长大是通过一些steps，doing and doing。

　　选项有这三个动作都平行的选项，类似doing，doing and doing

　　但实际上句子意思不是这样的，通过一些steps，这两个steps包含doing和doing，不能选择三项平行的答案。

　　考点：

　　1.虚假平行咯，这种题目要从语义上来理解

　　相关练习：

　　(From OG13-29)Emily Dickinson's letters to Susan Huntington Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumbering her letters to anyone else.

　　(A) Dickinson were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumbering

　　(B) Dickinson were written over a period that begins a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and ended shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumber

　　(C) Dickinson, written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and that ends shortly before Emily's death in 1886 and outnumbering

　　(D) Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother, ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, and outnumbering

　　(E) Dickinson, which were written over a period beginning a few years before Susan's marriage to Emily's brother and ending shortly before Emily's death in 1886, outnumber

　　Parallelism; Grammatical construction

　　The main point of the sentence is that Dickinson's letters to her sister-in-law outnumber her letters to anyone else. To emphasize this point, outnumber should be the main verb, and the description introduced by the passive verb were written needs to be changed from a main clause to an adjectival phrase.

　　A The long, wordy opening clause gives too much emphasis to the period when Dickinson's letters were written; it is unclear what outnumbering refers to.

　　B The verbs describing the letter-writing period (begins and ended) are not parallel.

　　C The verbs describing the letter-writing period need to be in parallel form and agree in tense—e.g., beginning and ending or that began and that ended; this is a fragment because it lacks a main verb for letters.

　　D The lack of a main verb for the subject of the sentence, letters, makes this a fragment.

　　E Correct. The information about the period when Dickinson's letters were written is contained in an adjectival phrase set off by commas, and the main verb outnumber refers clearly to letters.

　　Ps: D项是一个虚假平行，例子可能不是特别恰当，我一下子找不到和狗主描述那么相似的题目，大家不妨看看下面这一题，来自OG12, 大家要特别注意划线后的句子!

　　Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi, in the form of carbon dioxide, and converting it to energy-rich sugars.

　　A.Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi

　　B.Plants are more efficient at acquiring carbon than are fungi

　　C.Plants are more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon

　　D.Plants, more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon

　　E.Plants acquire carbon more efficiently than fungi

　　Logical predication; Grammatical construction

　　This sentence compares how efficiently plants and fungi acquire carbon and convert it into sugars. The sentence construction needs to make clear that plants and fungi are the two topics being compared, and it must also clarify that in the form of carbon dioxide refers to carbon rather than to either plants or fungi.

　　A According to the sentence grammar, in the form of carbon dioxide describes fungi, which is nonsensical.

　　B This sentence claims that plants acquire carbon more efficiently than they acquire fungi, which is also nonsensical; the form of carbon dioxide still modifies fungi.

　　C Correct. The sentence clearly compares plants to fungi, and in the form of carbon dioxide correctly modifies carbon.

　　D This sentence is grammatically incomplete; there is no verb for the subject plants.

　　E As in B, this sentence claims that plants acquire carbon more efficiently than they acquire fungi; it is also grammatically incomplete because and converting does not clearly refer to anything.

　　The correct answer is C.

　　C.best. 注意句子的两个大平行：1)Plants ---fungi; 2)at acquiring carbon---converting it to energy-rich sugars，注意划线后的句子!
