又有新问题:
看了两道题,对于OG的解释有疑惑,请NN指正。
A(单数n.)and B(单数n.)+ that + 复数v.
1、OG 的缺省认为that从句指代A and B. 我以前很少看到这类的用法。不知道我的理解正确与否?
2、派生出另一个问题,如果在B后面有逗号,然后which+复数v.,是否也能一样?
128. New hardy varieties of rice show promise of producing high yields without the costly requirements of irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer by earlier high-yielding varieties.
(E) irrigation and application of commercial fertilizer that were required by earlier high-yielding varieties
Choice E, the best answer, clearly and grammatically expresses the idea that two costly procedures, irrigation and the application of... fertilizer, were required by earlier high-yielding varieties of rice.
OG认为that 修饰的是irrigation and application
208. Teratomas are unusual forms of cancer because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone not normally found in the organ in which the tumor appears.
(A) because they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone
(B) because they are composed of tissues like tooth and bone that are
(C) because they are composed of tissues, like tooth and bone, tissues
(D) in that their composition, tissues such as tooth and bone, is
(E) in that they are composed of tissues such as tooth and bone, tissues (E)
Without such repetition, A and B imprecisely state that the tooth and bone, as opposed to the tissues, are not normally found in the affected organ.
其中B项引起歧义,OG认为that修饰tooth and bone 而非tissues。
205. The peaks of a mountain range, acting like rocks in a streambed, produce ripples in the air flowing over them; the resulting flow pattern, with crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, are known as "standing waves."
(C) crests and troughs that remain stationary although the air that forms them is moving rapidly, is
这题虽然OG解释中没有说明that修饰谁,但从逻辑意思上判断that 是修饰crests and troughs的。所以说that指代无歧义,对不?
