标题: 再议一道争议题gwd-7-40

反正这题答案是A or C.但问题是(1)A中because of 引导的从句没有because那个好(2)但是C中时态没有A好,就是选哪个?望NN指导!!!


Q40:


Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised again in November.




  • because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will

  • with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target

  • because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would

  • due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target

  • due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will

    我不知道答案。



    但是,我会支持A



    本题的难点是predict,我觉得该词是个终止性的动词。就象find之类的词一样。






    所以,



    C除了貌似时态前后不吻合(其实,我认为时态用的没有问题,可以这样用)。



    主要是analysts predicted for weeks 你可以说analysts predicted weeks ago,但是,不能说analysts predicted for weekspredicted是个短时间完成的动作)。






    A中的have been predicting for weeks表示过去几周许多分析家频繁预计,符合predict的用法。

    C,C的时态没有任何问题,楼主对比我刚才给你回帖子里面那题,两题惊人详细,过去时用的非常正确!A的完成进行时不好,其次economy’s continued strength绝对是不idiomatic的,要说也是continued strength of economy

    以下是引用Avantasia在2005-9-8 10:46:00的发言:

    C,C的时态没有任何问题,楼主对比我刚才给你回帖子里面那题,两题惊人详细,过去时用的非常正确!A的完成进行时不好,其次economy’s continued strength绝对是不idiomatic的,要说也是continued strength of economy


    economy’s 的用法比较常见,他表示的不是一般的无生命的东西。就想国家一样。例句:


    Katrina shows U.S. economy's vulnerabilities


    要是analysts predicted for weeks 没有问题,肯定是C好。不知道版主如何理解这句话??

    可以说分析家几周前预计,但是,能说分析家们预计了几周吗?

    就如我三天前找到了这本书(I found this book three days ago);但是,你能说我找到这本书三周吗?(I found this book for three days )


    下面是longman中,关于for的解释:


    used to say how long an action or situation continues for
    Bake the cake for 40 minutes.


    We had been talking for a good half hour.


    He's been off work for a while.

    whya say "the economy continues strong"? strong is adj.
    作者: Shadowx    时间: 2006-10-7 08:01
    我認為 predict 這個 verb 如果只被做了一次
    那就可以用 simple past: predicted
    但是很明顯的你好幾週以來不可能只一個人 predict 了一次
    所以比較傾向於 "have been predicting"

    D选项和划线部分后面的be不能连接
    作者: lucccky328    时间: 2006-10-27 00:30

    the economy continues strong"? strong is adj.

    continue 可以接形容词,我查了金山词霸


    作者: lucccky328    时间: 2006-10-27 00:31
    应该选A
    作者: hedge    时间: 2006-12-26 10:51
    1. because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will

    2. with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target

    3. because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would

    4. due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target

    5. due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will

    so, i chose choice C


    作者: CD用户174382    时间: 2006-12-27 02:37

    个人认为应该用A

    OG有一个考点解释的是过去时态和完成时态不能混合使用的

    可以看10版OG第30题的解释~有这么一句话:

    the use of the new technology
                cannot logically be described by both the present perfect has been and the past was

    新东方也有类似的讲解,呵呵~时态的一致性~


    作者: 龙飞凤舞    时间: 2007-12-14 11:38

    我支持A ,因为OG中一直强调 AND 连接的前后两句,时态要一致.

    pridict,本身确实是个点动词,但是,题目中的分析家用的是复数,这也就意味着,分析家们一直在预测着着件事, 所以用现在完成进行时,可以说的通.

    没办法,这题只有矮子里拔将军了...

    我不记得是不是LZM说的: 从来不会选现在完成进行时作为答案...

    但这题,实在没办法

    Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times 用的是现在完成时态,如果后面没有明显时间标志要用过去时,那么我们是否应该优先考虑现在时呢?盼牛人指点。
    作者: alexdream    时间: 2008-5-12 11:37

    我觉得选择C的原因是:

    Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times,和because the economy continues strong, 是analyst 做出预测的两个并列的原因,所以,从形式上来说,because +从句 的形式 比 because of 这样的介词结构来的对称。


    作者: jamily_2008    时间: 2009-4-18 01:03

    the answer is A, found from new prep-172

    作者: keepdreaming    时间: 2009-10-12 17:58
    我选择A. C的continues和predicted时态不统一.
