句子1、
What else can be said about a bizarre animal that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets?
老师这句话如何理解，意思是否：这种奇怪的动物有如此那样的奇怪的特征，所以还有哪些好说的呢？
句子2、
Erosion can occur if soil is dry, which is a likely effect if it contains inadequate amounts of carbon.
老师，我的疑问在于which is a likely effect如何翻译，是否后面跟的是土壤被腐蚀是什么原因，还是碳缺少是干燥是什么原因。
句子3、
Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.
老师，这个句子being在这里作什么成分？是否假如没for work，being也可以去掉了，requests 后面可以直接跟ignored.....？

句子1、
What else can be said about a bizarre animal that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets?
这种古怪的动物，有着种种怪诞的习性和特征，包含吃淤泥，几乎日夜不间断的进食但长期不吃东西也能活下来；身体具备毒性却被美食家推崇为大补的食物。除去这类以外，关于它大家还能再谈点什么呢？
句子2、
Erosion can occur if soil is dry, which is a likely effect if it contains inadequate amounts of carbon.
假如土壤中的碳元素含量低，土壤就或许会干燥，如此的话就会导致侵蚀。（土壤干燥是由于含碳量不足的结果，而土壤易受侵蚀又是土壤干燥导致的）
句子3、
Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.
好几位父母都提到了需要去医院工作但不被校方理睬或被拒绝的事情。（言外之意就是：好几位父母都曾提出要去医院工作的需要，但校方根本不予理睬或者直接拒绝）requests for work being ignored or refused by the school是动名词复合结构做speak of宾语，其中requests for work是动名词的逻辑主语，动名词短语用的是被动语态。
单词选择题：
1.
Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish brown ___ sand color and nearly white.
A. to B. of C. and D. with
这个一定是选A。range from 表示包含的一个范围，from A to B to C的使用方法非常容易见到的。
譬如这句：The web would be a repository for all human knowledge, a global marketplace for products and ideas, a forum for anything that required interaction,from delicate international diplomacytoworking out complex differential equationstobuying office supplies--and it would be entirely free of regulation and control!
2.
If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter ___ you shake the table.
A. how B. how strongly C. how much D. how violently
这道题我会选择D。
由于strongly一般表达的是情感或者气味的强烈、浓烈程度；much表示程度的高低或者量的多少；只有violently表示力量的大小。
3. prevent sb. from doing sth. from可以省略不写是吗？
prevent sb （from）doing sth，其中from可以省略。
