og 225 - 新的问题

225. Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population. and where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.

(A)  that still has a sizable wolf population, and where

(B)  that still has a sizable wolf population, where

(C)  that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where

(D)  where the population of wolves is still sizable;

(E)   where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

In choices A and C, the construction that still has ..., and where modifies Minnesota with clauses that are not gram­matically parallel. In choice B, the omission of and illogically makes the where ... clause modify wolf population rather than Minnesota--that is, choice B says in effect that the wolf population is where the wolf remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep. Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota. In E, the best choice, the parallel construction of where ... and where ... allows both clauses to modify Minnesota.

My question is 如果把C中的逗号去掉，会是正确答案么？

是不是than 从句无论如何都不能和where 从句并列呢？

如果把C中的逗号去掉，会是正确答案么？No, it's still not right.

是不是that 从句无论如何都不能和where 从句并列呢？No, they can not parallel each other.

THERE BE 后加什么才是合乎ETS 语法的老师好像讲过忘记了。

这道题我一看到THERE BE 就把E 排掉了。

我不明白OG对D的解释?? 不是已经用了分号了吗,为何还需要连词呢?

since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated from the clause following the semicolon,

这句话说明了原因，因为Minnesota是主语两个成分都应该是修饰这个主语的，而用分号分开以后，后面成了单独的一句话

而与主语Minnesota没有关系了。所以错。我是这莫理解的，请指正！

(C)  that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where

解释说这里that 和where 不并列，所以错了，那么如果把that 换成where, 这答案是否正确，也就是说这里的 “，”可以这样放么？

我对于“，”的用法很糊涂，没法找到比较完整的归纳，哪位高人指点一二，不胜感激！

这里的问题还是没有解决啊,这里是两个定语来修饰，C项怎么不对我还是搞不清楚

1）a,and b这种用法不对么？

2）that用在这里做限定修饰 是州拥有东西怎么就不对了，这跟国家拥有多少平方公里的土地不是一样的概念么，难道表示这种概念的时候只能用where么？

请牛牛指教，thx

c中has 与there is是有区别的，前者强调拥有和主权，后者是客观存在。

i have a computer in my room.

there is a computer in my room.

第一句，COMPUTER 是我的，第二句，COMPUTER 不一定是我的。

WOLF不属于STATE，所以用THERE IS。

我听课听来的

1.chenjm的第二个问题我是这样看的:

that修饰紧紧挨着它的名词.在abc中,that修饰的是states,也就是说,仍然有相当大狼群数量是48个州共有的属性,这与题意不符.而用where,不一定修饰紧挨着它的名词,可跳跃修饰前面的Minnesota,从逻辑和意义上来讲,也应该是修饰Minnesota的.至于平行问题,前人已经说过,这里就不多说了,当然前后两个where看起来最爽.

2.LISAYUAN750616所说的there be 句型

我原来也是看到there be就不排除了,但是后来做题觉得不对.在陈述客观存在事实的情况下,there be 句型是成立的,更多的是用there be + n.比如此题所述,狼群数量是一个客观存在的事实,非人为操作导致.而there (can/may) be done是肯定错误的用法.

自己的一点小小意见,不知正确与否,欢迎大家扔砖头.

请问，有楼上这样的说法吗？

“that修饰紧紧挨着它的名词.在abc中,that修饰的是states,也就是说,仍然有相当大狼群数量是48个州共有的属性,这与题意不符.而用where,不一定修饰紧挨着它的名词,可跳跃修饰前面的Minnesota,”

定语从句都是就近修饰吧，这道题只能从逻辑意思上判断是修饰主语，对吗？

e唯一好的是因为where和where平行，是这样吗？
