对E选项有疑问的童鞋请看补充说明
TN，XY版的GWD给出的答案都是B，但是PREP里给出的答案是E，很多人就疑问了，有to...from...的用法么？谁说没有？今天我又在PREP里发现一道，用法结构一模一样，看例子：
127.(31278-!-item-!-188;#058&004418)
After decreasing steadily in the mid-1990's, the percentage of students in the United States finishing high school or having earned equivalency diplomas increased in the last three years of the decade, up to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and 84.8 percent in 1998.
(A) finishing high school or having earned equivalency diplomas increased in the last three years of the decade, up to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and
(B) finishing high school or earning equivalency diplomas, increasing in the last three years of the decade, rising to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and from
(C) having finished high school or earning an equivalency diploma increased in the last three years of the decade, and rose to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and from
(D) who either finished high school or they earned an equivalency diploma, increasing in the last three years of the decade, rose to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and
(E) who finished high school or earned equivalency diplomas increased in the last three years of the decade, to 86.5 percent in 2000 from 85.9 percent in 1999 and 该选项为正确答案
联系题干，整句话出现了increase to...from....
联系题干，整句话出现了increase to...from.... 所以说，to from并非是不可以的，要联系上下文语境作出选择，千万别看到from to就选 to from直接排出，陷阱往往就在此，还要继续甄别其他的错误。
补充说明：
对于GWD1-Q2题目中，在支持B选项的童鞋里，很多人说E选项：6percent its share不对，其实这是因为为了给后面的which定语从句合理安排语序，而把increase的正常宾语置后了，其实我们在原句中就可以看到文中的意思，认为是increase share，这样做是为了避免头重脚轻，所以正常的语序应该是increase its share of....market which(or that)ranges....to....from...另外，在词典里可以查到increase to的固定搭配。
类似的各种古怪的后置结构都有存在，我们其实在语法和阅读部分都见过非常多了，另外我再引用一个GWD里面我以前没有见过的后置，是把用来修饰主语的of介宾短语，置于谓语动词的后面，因为该修饰成分太长，而谓语只有has emerged而已，所以如果按照正常语序难免头重脚轻，但是很多人乍一看起来，都觉得has emerged of....太怪了，后来看了语法笔记才知道，这是主语定语后置！呵呵，我也犯了个大错误，一上来就把它排除了，其实它才是正确选项。例句如下：
Navigators have known for thousands of years that the ocean has variable currents, but it is only in the last half century that a reasonably clear picture has emerged of the patterns and causes of ocean currents.
该题目原文既是正确答案，大家请看 |
