prep138，还是我第一个问

138. During the same period in which the Maya were developing a hieroglyphic system of writing, the Aztec people also developed a written language, but it was not as highly sophisticated as that of the Maya and was more pictographic in nature.

A. but it was not as highly sophisticated as that of the Maya and was

B. but it was not as highly sophisticated as the Maya, being

C. but, not as highly sophisticated as the Maya's, was

D. not as highly sophisticated as that of the Maya, however, being

E. not as highly sophisticated as the Maya's however, it was

 再问下去我都觉得羞耻了，但是羞耻也要问！

这里F大侠解释说“D: not as … as修饰的对象有歧义”，我不太确定，这里可以跟more than之类的来修饰language吗？

是什么形式？同位语不是名词修饰名词吗？

相应的，prep里还有一道题

A) per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs annually per person to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as

B) annual per capita consumption of cigarettes in California declined from over 125 packs to about 60, more than twice as great as that

C) California's annual per capita consumption of cigarettes declined from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as the drop

D) California has seen per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs annually to about 60, a drop more than twice as great as that

E) California has seen annual per capita consumption of cigarettes decline from over 125 packs per person to about 60, more than twice as great as that

“not as … as修饰的对象有歧义”

不认同，我觉的没有修饰歧义。但是D的表达不好。being more pictographic in nature倒是有修饰歧义。

不能看到being就排除，being是正确的选项这样的例子很多，奇怪你没碰到。而且after,without,before等介词后跟being是合理的表达。

哇，我只是去吃了个小饭，这里讨论的好不热闹：）

我对being也没有好感。不过的确有一竿子打死的，就是具体的题目我也举不出来了，好像GWD里有。

不过being  done这样的绝对是错的。

我也不是有意去改题目，只是想知道D中的not  as 为什么说有歧义？

对……，more than    和……，as     as之类的表达一知半解：（

真的出现过的，不过在哪我不记得了

因为有个N JJ的笔记里面特意标了一下，所以有印象

YY，专心回答我的问题吗：（

GWD-9-Q1，这是道争议题，AE之间争议，偶是选E的，不管A还是E，都有being的用法。
