题目

toefl阅读一道试题不知道为什么选这个
With the advent of projection,the viewer's relationship with the image was no longer private,as it had been with earlier peeshow devices such as the Kinetoscope and the Mutoscope ,which was a similar machine that reproduced motion by means of successive images on individual photographic cards instead of on strips of celluloid（胶片）.
Which of the following is mentioned in this paragraph as one of the ways the Mutoscope differed from the Kinetoscrope?
正确选项：A different type of material was used to produce the images used in the Mutoscope.
1.从文章中我根本看不出M 与K不同之处,而文章还用了similar.
2.which 指代谁?
3.翻译正确选项
4.解释为什么选它
不用质疑是否有错,或出题是否在这段,我只看自己写的不用转载!
1,4楼难分伯仲,1楼4问回答的有些不准,4楼的3问开头翻译不准确
此问题1楼和4楼回答.
谁回答的对和快,我就给谁.那另一位就不好意思了,

答案

1,的确是similar,但similar的是Kinetoscope和Mutoscope都能reproduced motion.
2,which指代Mutoscope
3,Mutoscope用了另一种材料制造影像
4.因为kinesoscope用把影像写在strips of celluloid上,而mutoscope把影像写在individual photographic cards上
可能是相对而言准确的选项吧
再解释一下,kinescope产生影像的方式文章没有直说,这里就是容易产生困惑的地方.但文章说了Mutoscope之所以不同就是用individual photographic card这种材料代替strips of celluloid这个材料来产生影像.这句话暗示了除Mutoscope外的其他机器用的材料是strips of celluloid,所以可以认为kinesoscope用把影像写在strips of celluloid上.
关于as的意思:
正如...
关键要看到as it has been...中it指代的是the viewer's relationship with the image,而这个relationship是no longer private.而在as的从句中Kinetoscope和Mutoscope同样是提供successive images.所以as表达了正如...一样的意思.
