[高中] 問高中文法三題

[recary (recary)]

1.The guests here are ___ German and Japanese, but ___ we get a few Americans,

  too.

  (A)mostly; sometimes (B)most; sometimes

  答案是(A)。

  查了字典，most(adj)有大多數；大半；大部分的意思，而mostly(adv)非正式用法，

  也有幾乎全部；大多；大半的意思。但為什麼選mostly？ 我不大懂這兩個字的區別。

2.When philosophers debate what it is ___ makes human unique among animals,

  they often point to language.

  (A)that (B)who (C)which (D)whom

  答案是(a)。

  想知道原因，因為當初是用刪去法猜對的XD

3.Researchers are investigating a series of indicators that could help

 (themselves) predict earthquakes.

  這題是要把themselves選出，並說出哪裡錯誤。 但我...不清楚錯在哪裡？@@

  謝謝大家解題

推 outofdejavu:1. most 是 determiner 或 pronoun，所以不妥
推 outofdejavu:   我查的字典都沒說mostly 是非正式用法...
→ outofdejavu:   most 當副詞的用法也不適用於這句
→ outofdejavu:   想必你查的是英漢字典，請查英英字典
→ outofdejavu:   http://www.learnersdictionary.com/search/mostly
→ outofdejavu:   => 2
→ outofdejavu:   http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/mostly
推 outofdejavu:3. I think "themselves" would refer to "a series
→ outofdejavu:   of indicators"
→ outofdejavu:   The correction would be "them"
→ outofdejavu:   them => researchers
推 outofdejavu:2. 有種用法是 What is it that ...
→ outofdejavu:   What is it that makes you cry even when you are
→ outofdejavu:   happy?
→ outofdejavu:   => Can you tell me what it is that makes ...
