Sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to acid rain, is an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal with all other pollutants.

A. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the respiratory system’s ability to deal

B. man especially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s capability of dealing

C. an especially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system in dealing

D. a specially serious pollutant because it diminishes the capability of the respiratory system to deal

E. a specially serious pollutant because of diminishing the respiratory system’s ability to deal

【句子主干】

Sulfur dioxide, … , is an…pollutant because it diminishes…ability to deal with…

【句意翻译】

二氧化硫，酸雨的罪魁祸首，是一种尤其严重的污染物，因为它会削弱呼吸系统处理其他所有污染物的能力。

【选项分析】：

A. correct；ability to do sth.使用简洁;

B. because of+n./doing结构不优；较之capability to do, capability of dealing不够简洁;

C. in dealing有做状语修饰整个从句的歧义，含义变为Sulfur dioxide在dealing with的时候减少了respiratory system的能力，而不是原义想要表达的，减少了respiratory system的deal with…的能力；capability如果后面要加in doing,最好紧跟capability，避免歧义；

D. especially强调严重性，specially强调特殊性，根据原义，选especially；of the respiratory system的插入，导致to deal可以修饰动词diminish，引起歧义；

E. especially强调严重性，specially强调特殊性，根据原义，选especially； because of错误同B;此外，diminish没有明确主体。

【知识要点】

1. 固定搭配: ability(for sb)to do, capability(for sb)to do

2. 辨析especially/specially：

especially尤其，强调程度、严重性specially 特殊;特别，强调不一样
