B or D? 另外，哪位能解释一下什么叫one-of-a-kind?
我可能是句子理解不到位

作者: 大傻猫 时间: 2003-8-9 21:38
我怎么觉得是A呢,是不是有什么公理呢?

作者: kathy72 时间: 2003-8-9 21:49
我也觉得是A。如果选B，缺少THERE　ARE　句子没有主谓语，不完整。两句之间是明显的转折关系，D也不对。C改变了句子重心。

作者: shopboy 时间: 2003-8-9 22:28
B肯定不对，这样后面半句就没有谓语了
还是A在语法上和意思上都比较完整
C和D的话，意思上中感觉怪怪的

我发现很多KPLAN的题PR里的题。有凶狠多和补充材料的题目相似，但是答案不一样
比如这到题
(although most modern-day amercian parks are either modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, there are) other park designs from the italian baroque or islamic traditions that are equally worth of imitation.
a although most modern-day amercian parks are either modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, there are
b although most modern-day amercian parks are modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden,
c most modern-day amercian parks are either modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, there are
d although most modern-day amercian parks are modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, and there are aslo
e modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, most modern-day amercian parks and aslo

答案是A

Although dozens of New York's small museums are either devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, there are many one-of-a-kind museums from Manhattan to the Bronx that are open for exploration on summer weekends.
(A) Although dozens of New York's small museums are either devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, there are
(B) Although dozens of New York's small museums are devoted to local history or various ethnic groups
(C) Dozens of New York's small museums are devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, but there are
(D) Dozens of New York's small museums are devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, and there are also
(E) Devoted to local history or various ethnic groups, dozens of New York's small museums and also
B or D? 另外，哪位能解释一下什么叫one-of-a-kind?

The answer should be D.

The structure of choice A, "...either devoted to local history or various ethnic groups ...", violates the parallel principle. If we rewrite chioce A as "...devoted to either local history or various ethnic groups...", the structure of it will be parallel.

Besides lacking a necessary comma, chioce B also lacks "there are" to generate a integrated sentence, and we even cannot find a predicate in the main sentence. Chioce E has no predicate in the main sentence as well.

Without any grammar errors, choice C, however, unreasonably implies that "small museums" is contrast to "one-of-a-kind museums" by using "but" rather than "and".

We normally use "one-of-a-kind" to describe something that is special beacuse there is nothing exactly like it.

如果是这样，那么五楼朋友的句子又如何解释呢？

作者: shinogigi 时间: 2003-8-10 11:53
我觉得很糊涂啊，我作princetion review还做到一道题目，就是和新东方补充材料上的
it is an oversimpled view of cattle raising to say that_____________________drive them to market when the time is ripe.
a all  one has to do with cattle is leave them alone while they feed themselves, corral them, and to
b all  one has to do with cattle is to leave them alone to feed themselves, to corral them, and
c all  one has to do with cattle is leave them alone while they feed themselves and then corral them and
d the only thing that has to be done with cattle is leave them alone while they feed themselves, corral them, and
e the only thing that has to be done with cattle is to leave them alone while they feed themselves, to corral them,
补充材料的答案是c 但是pricention上是一道题目和这个一模一样就是缓换了几个名词而已，结构是完全一样的，他选的是d

我发现很多KPLAN的题PR里的题。有凶狠多和补充材料的题目相似，但是答案不一样
比如这到题
(although most modern-day amercian parks are either modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, there are) other park designs from the italian baroque or islamic traditions that are equally worth of imitation.
a although most modern-day amercian parks are either modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, there are
b although most modern-day amercian parks are modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden,
c most modern-day amercian parks are either modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, there are
d although most modern-day amercian parks are modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, and there are aslo
e modeled on "romantic" unspoiled landscape or english garden, most modern-day amercian parks and aslo

答案是A

In this case, chioce B and E lack predicate in their main sentence respectively, and in chioce C, a comma falsely connects two independent sentence, and also, chioce D falsely use "and"  to connect a subordinate clause with main sentence.

In a nutshell, chioce B,C,D, and E even cannot generate an intergrated sentence, so we only have chioce A, which although has obvious errors according to ETS, it is at least an integrated sentence.
In real questions from ETS and real test, however, you won't  meet such situation as above.

Sometimes, we are really confusing with the different answers and explanations among the different reviewing materials even for a same kind of question, and in such situation, we have to keep ourselves from indulging in these non-real questions and back to real ones.
Actually, we can find obvious hints that both Kaplan and Princeton try to design questions similar to those of ETS, sometimes, even simply mimic those of ETS, especially for SC. Unlike ETS, which has a team of prestigious language specialists to design every question, and organizes peer reviews before using them, and finally each question will be qualified in the real GMAT tests, other organizations, such as Princeton, have no such affluent resources and  rigorous process to guarantee the correctness of their questions and consistency with ETS. This  is the reason why OG is the most valuable and only dependable reviewing material especially for SC. For other non-real questions, we have to analyze them case by case.
Becasue every question from New Oriental School is a real one, according to its claim, we have to pay more attention for those  from New Oriental School than for those from other resources.

As far as your second question, chioce C is right; its structure is " all one has to do is do sth, do sth and do sth", and you can find further explanation in LZM.

good Luck!

没错,应该是C

作者: ququshethy 时间: 2003-8-12 21:52

以下是引用dl7801在2003-8-10 0:40:00的发言：

The answer should be D.

Without any grammar errors, choice C, however, unreasonably implies that "small museums" is contrast to "one-of-a-kind museums" by using "but" rather than "and".

d17801兄，这个句子为什么不可以表示对比呢？如果表示并列的话，一，它可能用同样的句型结构，为什么后面用there are呢？这点没有什么说服力，继续说二，并列意思的句子应该一口气说完，后者简单用as do , as be, 什么的，为什么劳费讲那么长呢？三，原题用although，倒是极大的表示了它可能原意就是要表达转折。它不过想用either来迷混大家眼睛。
前者devoted to local histories or viarious ethnic groups，后者只是for exploration on summer weekend.我猜这两个就是对比的意思。
再来确认确认吧：（

作者: dl7801 时间: 2003-8-13 00:28
"如果表示并列的话，一，它可能用同样的句型结构，为什么后面用there are呢？这点没有什么说服力，"

Although “but” has different meaning from that of “and”, when both of them function as conjunctions, they demand same structure; that is, if a structure like “A, and B.” is grammatical right, “ A, but B. “ is also grammatical right, even these two sentences have opposite meaning to each other. So here we cannot depend on the structure to make a judgment. In addition, we definitely can use “there are…” after whatever “and” or “but”; why not? In the structure of “ A, and B “, clause A can have different structure to clause B.

"继续说二，并列意思的句子应该一口气说完，后者简单用as do , as be, 什么的，为什么劳费讲那么长呢？"

ETS always uses a complex and very long sentence to describe a situation, which otherwise could be described by some short, simple, and independent sentences. We can find many much more complex and longer sentences than this one in OG, but “long” and “complex” do not mean “not concise”.

"三，原题用although，倒是极大的表示了它可能原意就是要表达转折。它不过想用either来迷混大家眼睛。"

The key to this question is whether or not we have a contrast. We use “although” to show a contrast, but we don't have a contrast here because "small museums either devoted to local history or various ethnic groups" is not in contrast with "many one-of-a-kind museums from Manhattan to the Bronx."

I guess you were confusing with the meaning of this sentence; if we wanted to use “although” or “ but”, we'd have to have something like "mass appeal museums" to be in contrast with "one-of-a-kind museums". Actually, most “one-of-a-kind museums” themselves are just “small museums”.

"再来确认确认吧：（ "

A challenging girl ! and it's nice to discuss with you.

简单点吧，我认为其中题目中对比的东西是“devoted to local histories or viarious ethnic groups，和for exploration on summer weekend”而不是什么museums;或者说museums就是同类，但因为功能不同而形成对比。
语法别用那么长的解释，头痛，头痛：（

我顺便再此请教一下D17801兄吧，OG183那道，讲a recently discovered chalice,...was probably buried to keep it from being stolen by invader的，还有印象吗？我理解正确答案的意思，就是D的解释看不明白。
D，in order that it would avoid, 解释说 moreover, avoid is used impresily in C&D ...illogically suggests that the chalice is acting to prevent it own theft.它是avoid产生了其他什么歧义啊？能用中文解释一下吗？
谢谢。非常感谢。
这算不算买一送一啊~~~~我赚了哦。

作者: ququshethy 时间: 2003-8-13 10:27
其实初读句子时感觉，如果表示对比的话，如果按我自己的理解“devoted to local histories or viarious ethnic groups，和for exploration on summer weekend”是”功能“对比意思的话，我也认为同样少了点什么。比如前者所用广泛，后者所用狭窄，加个only ——”only for exploration...“似乎会更舒服些。那么肯定是对比了。但是原题没有，说明我的语感还是有问题。
如果按17801兄所说，musemus指的是同类，那么“devoted to local histories or viarious ethnic groups，和for exploration on summer weekend”这两个表示的也是同类。怎么翻译？怎么说明是同类？
呵呵，肯定D17801气得直吹胡子~~~~

别气别气，请教请教。谢谢拉~~~

作者: dl7801 时间: 2003-8-13 11:07
呵呵！真厉害！就用中文，简练点吧。
你跑偏了，对比在同一范畴内产生，“致力于当地历史和少数民族的small museums” 怎么会和“夏季周末开放以供探索的one-of-a-kind museums"形成对比呢？前者就不能夏季周末开放吗？后者就不能致力于当地历史和少数民族吗？small museums 可以是one-of-a-kind museums，也可以是 mass appeal museums （当然有时one-of-a-kind museums也可以是较大的museums）。分开说是因为one-of-a-kind museums是少见而特殊的也是纽约的特色。

刚看到你的这个帖子，幸好刮完胡子了。

OG183,把宾语从句提出来.... that a recently discovered chalice, ... , was probably buried （to avoid / in order that it would avoid ） being stolen by invaders.
这里 to avoid 和 in oder that... 都表示目的，其逻辑主语只能是a recently discovered chalice，而且D中的it只能指代chalice,可是chalice怎么可能自己使自己避免被盗呢？

佛说有三层境界
第一层见山是山见水是水
第二层见山不是山见水不是水
第三层见山又是山见水又是水

你信佛吗？
我虽不信，不过听过星云大师的讲经，他的一句话很喜欢：
天雨虽大，不润无根之草；佛法无边，难度无缘之人。

哎，也许我正是所谓与佛无缘之人。
随便发个感慨，别介意。呵呵

啊~~懂了懂了是补充教材的题懂了！
OG那个还是不明白！！！
D17801兄，别着急走，我看见你也在网上。谢谢。

你的意思是chalice本身不能避免被盗，而是被烧掉这一举动避免被盗是吗？这个理解我可以明白。
但OG的解释好象是针对AVOID这个词来的哦，因为它提到说在C&d（不仅是D，而且还有C哦）选项中avoid怎么样怎么样。那说明即便在C选项 to avoid后面加上“it”——was probably buried to avoid it being stolen by invaders.也还是不对，因为avoid这个词有问题。
avoid 这个词有什么问题呢？
还是我把OG理解错了？

作者: ququshethy 时间: 2003-8-13 11:58
我不懂佛的，喜欢那句话也是因为它刚好针对了我性格中的缺陷而能有效制止一些无聊、极端、甚至发狂的举动，以至于我将毕生的经历投入在攀登和追求到第三层境界中去。
它也是缓解压力的一种方式。物欲横流声色犬马的年代把个体的人类折磨得蓬头垢面口是心非。把万物归一，化解为最简单最根本的生命形式，不由的，便能开心许多。

星云大师说的“缘”，可以理解为“悟”吗，或者说“开窍”？
不能再想多，要不，我从这十三楼跳下去，象尼采一样，把躯体给了太阳~~~~

作者: dl7801 时间: 2003-8-13 12:12
OG的解释：
Moreover, avoid is used imprecisely in C and D because it illogically suggests that the chalice is acting to prevent its own theft.

” C和D中avoid 用的不准确，因为它不合逻辑地提出the chalice 自己执行了防止自己被盗的动作。“

通常，Sb/Sth do ...to avoid sth/doing sth，Sb/Sth 就是 avoid的动作执行者，所以这里avoid用得不恰当。这里 chalice被掩埋 to be avoided ...还可能说得通，但avoid 不用于被动语态，所以avoid 这里是不恰当的.

作者: carefield 时间: 2003-8-14 21:50
小曲:
简单点写吧, AVOID 类似: WANT, TRY, 一般用于人, 表达一种主观的动机, 不用于物, 因为物应该没有那么多想法.

OG 说的就是这个.

作者: carefield 时间: 2003-8-14 21:58
这个题其实蛮蹊跷的, 因为印象中ETS很少在选项中改变句子间的关系, 特别对转折, 因果情有独衷. 这题需要很细致的分析和背景知识.

要是考试的时候碰到这类题, 那就~~~~~

我很想信佛.

佛教是有关生命的大智慧, 可是这儿的大师们居然用粤语讲经布道,
