题目:

In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent.  In contrast, in the year prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent.  The volume of cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes.

选项:

A、During the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes did not increase by as much as it had during the year prior to the tax increase.
B、The one percent fall in cigarette sales in the year prior to tax increase was due to a smaller tax increase.
C、The pretax price of a pack of cigarettes gradually decreased throughout the year before and the year after the tax increase.
D、For the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes was not eight or more cents lower than it had been the previous year.
E、As the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes rises, the pretax price also rises.

Unlike the nests of leaf cutters and most other ants, situated underground or in pieces of wood, raider ants make a portable nest by entwining their long legs to form “curtains” of ants that hang from logs or boulders, providing protection for the queen and the colony larvae and pupae.
你好,对于d选项这类句子,我不太理解,解析说如果用介次短语in having nests的话,后面situated underground……这句话就是修饰raider ants的而不是向前修饰的,不太明白,能帮忙解释下吗,谢谢

In the 1940s popular magazines in the United States began to report on the private lives of persons from the entertainment industry, in despite of the fact that they previously had featured individuals in business and politics.
老师想问问这个D选项,they不可以指前面的magazines吗?因为我记得说如果they/it这类词如果前面有指代对象就可以放过。做到OG另一题是someone’s knowledge of the literatures of Europe, China, and Japan was instrumental in his development as a writer, as it informed his literary style as much as the content of his fiction.这是一个错误选项,这里除了因果关系错误以外,的as从句我可以理解为那个it指代不清吗?因为往前找有knowledge还有development,不知道说的哪一个。谢谢老师!

In the seventh century B.C., the Roman alphabet was adapted from the Etruscan alphabet, which in turn had been adapted in the previous century from a western Greek alphabet, which itself had been adapted earlier in the same century from the Phoenician alphabet.
老师您好,当时觉得C是一个独立主格的形式,所以觉得比A说的更简洁,且earlier在in the same century之前。还是不明白为什么老师说itself指代不清楚?它除了Greek alphabet还可以指什么呢?而且being adapted earlier不是也可以说明是一个过去的被动语态吗?请老师解答,谢谢!

Line ℓ lies in the xy-plane and does not pass through the origin. What is the slope of line ℓ ?
  1. The x-intercept of line ℓ is twice the y-intercept of line ℓ.
  2. The x- and y-intercepts of line ℓ are both positive.
老师,x-intercept是X轴的截距的意思吗?我想的是条件1,XY截距有四种情况,所以选的C。截距在数学里面分正负号的?那如果怎么表述就是不分正负号只考虑距离?
