Question

Human facial expressions differ from those of animals in the degree ___ ___ they can be controlled on purpose.

A. with which        B. to which

C. of which    D. for which

Answer 1

B。

解析:

to which中的which指代前面提到的degree，由于表示“在……程度上”時，degree前面習慣上要搭配介詞to，故要選B。又如：To what degree are you interested in Japanese? 你對日語的興趣達到了什么程度? At that time politicians were not known to the degree that they are today. 那時政治家們并不像今天這樣為人所知曉。題干的意思是：人類與動物面部表情的不同之處在于，人類可以在一定程度上有意識地控制其表情。
