狮子那题我选了their young, 但觉得不肯定,因为这种说法有可能对或错。考试时没有注意前面的动词 travel, are callled, consist of 之间的关系,觉得读起来挺顺的。可否帮我回忆一下全句是怎么说的?
若句子为:
1. Lions that travel in groups are called... 有that 时 are called 就对,不能改成
called,此时应选 their young
2. Lions travel in groups are called... 则 are called 错,不能有两个谓语,
应改成called. 但是 -->
3. On second thought,"that" 在定从中做主语能被省略吗?口语里好像能省
4. 句子为 Lions travel in gruops are called... 时,后面的consist of 是怎么和前面连上的 -- 是用 and 还是 that?
(1) 用 and: Lions travel in groups are called... and consist of a male, several
females and their young
a) 若 are called 改成 called 去修饰 groups:
此时consist of 的逻辑主语是 lions,可句意是 "groups" consist of,而不是 "lions" consist of: 若是 lions 的话,难道所有的lions 都是由a male, several females and their young 组成的吗?
b) 若 are called 不改,认为是原题省略了定从主语that(见3):
此时consist of 的逻辑主语和句意的主语一致,都为 lions(that)travel in groups
....此外,若are called 改成 called,则全句意为: 所有lions 都是以由a male, several females and their young 组成的groups 的形式travel 的,这在科学常识中是真的吗?若不是真的,那这题的意思应是单指那些以 a male, several females and their young组成的groups travel 的狮子,而不包括单独 travel 、或以其他成员组成团体travel 的狮子。这时are called 就不该改成 called。当然,若toefl 不考科学常识,只纯粹考语法,那就不用考虑这点了。(题外话:若 toefl 只纯粹考语法而不考常识,我觉得 chemical element 那题也不用管是什么90种,90个,还是90%了,纯按语法,应该是把 occurs 改成 occur。)

既然在mother前有and,所以说,构成并列的两个句子必然是要成分完整的,确实存在独立主格的情况,但别忘了,它是做状语成分的。(完整句,and 状语)
是讲不通的!应该理解为:father was a **, and mother worked ...
关于超级变态的occur这道题,我发表一点个人看法.
首先,我觉得应该选occurs
原文是这样的:over 90 of which occurs
很多人说应该是over 90% of which occurs, 是ETS少打了一个百分号
如果真的是这样的话,大家也不用争了,因为这道题不会算分了.
但如果这道题本来就不是说的超过90%而是超过90种呢?那么,occurs肯定错了.
