您問的這題是 轉折 請看#1DtvbgDh 有詳細解說基本句型與解法
題形: c.對等連接的,but

我知道您看到了父母還有掠食動物
但是這個插入句
1.不是整合
2.不應該在此出現整合句

插入句中有but表示兩個事件是平行的 但是一好一壞
A classic example is noisy begging by
: nestling songbirds when a parent returns to the nest with food.
: ■ These loud cheeps and peeps might give the location of the nest away
: to a listening hawk or raccoon, resulting in the death of the defenseless
: nestlings.■ In fact,
1.請仔細看B插入點之前
noisy begging by nestling songbirds when a parent returns to the nest with food.
這句話只有說到當父母回來時 nestling songbirds發聲音
但是之後並未說明發出聲音的原因

如果說是整合內容
The cheeping provides important information to the parent
就沒在之前的句子中出現過
顯然這應該是 進一步的說明 幼兒發出的聲音對父母的作用
應該放在B

則插入點之後 是轉折 講到也有壞處
因為不只父母聽到 也會被掠食者聽到
後方的In fact, 在此是舉例的功能
用實驗支持 這個聲音確實會吸引掠食者


2. 句子中B點的前後兩句缺乏連結
換言之接不上來

插入句中有but

但是原本
A classic example is noisy begging by nestling songbirds when a parent
returns to the nest with food.

These loud cheeps and peeps might give the location of the nest away
to a listening hawk or raccoon, resulting in the death of the defenseless
nestlings.
這兩句之間沒有However, 或 合併成讓步句Although ...., .... .
所以少了插入句就不通順

: 第二個問題，是Q14選項的一個句子：
: It is genetically disadvantageous for nestlings to behave as if
: they are really hungry when they are not really hungry.
: 想問這句話如何拆解呢？
: 先謝謝大家了！^0^"
這個句子不能拆
因為這是個重要的句型

當主詞很長常常用it 當先行主詞

套個廣告台詞

A:謝謝你！
B:謝我什麼?
A:謝謝你幫我忙.

這句話我們常常聽到 It's very kind of you to help me.

就是類似的句型
1. it 稱為 先行主詞(有些文法書寫虛主詞 不過其實它是代替了後面的東西
所已有些老師堅持不能叫它虛主詞)

It is right to help the handicapped.

=To help the handicapped is right.

it 代替了後方的不定詞

2.但是有沒有發現句型中 kind of you
但是你問的句子是 disadvantageous for nestlings

這個又是句型的另一要點

當我們要指定不定詞的主詞 必須使用 of / for

有何差別
It is necessary for you to study sentence patterns
before you take the TOEFL iBT test.

這個 necessary 說的是 (你要)瞭解句型這件事
而不是形容 你是必要的 所以 用for

反之It's very kind of you to help me.
kind 就是要形容你的好 所以用of

因為是形容人 , 故可以改成
You are very kind to help me.

請試著翻譯你問的那個句子看看
就知道有沒有瞭解這個句型
