陈涛

你不会的那题，问得不合理，我改过了，你再看下

yueluofenghen

21选c
而且。。2楼的答案不知道是不是错乱了，似乎不太对啊，总共才42道还删了一个，，，，

陈涛

2楼绝大部分是对的

strivenbu

晕呀 我看的时候是44道（加上重复的），那去掉一道，那不是全乱了哦

枪还没响你就跑了

幸好去掉的是最后2题
中间重复的题目，号继续保留着，问题被拿掉了
所以你的答案依然对得上号

strivenbu

哦，呵呵，这样子啊，期待标准答案啊，想看看哪个错了
21题还是不会，shielded net是什么，为什么要接0或者1呢，

yueluofenghen

我对strivenbu的这些答案有怀疑
1.3.4.12.40.
另外我不会37，我觉得a和b都可以啊，求解答

陈涛

其实这组问题比较菜，不能细说，
我是用排除法，去掉最不合理的，留下什么算什么
