我觉得their指代workers
作者: hy903    时间: 2006-1-15 09:07

为什么their不能指ceo's呢?难道用逻辑可以排除歧义?


b为什么错呢?是不是后面compares to 42 times in 1980,省略的太多,不完整了?


作者: carolhide    时间: 2006-1-15 10:57

现在想想我也不是很理解了。


我本来想CEO's虽然是复数(earn为复数形式判断),但是不能用their来指代,因为CEO's不是人,但是CEO's到底是什么东西呢?如果是CEO's pay的话就不能用earn来做谓语了呀。糊涂了!


compares to 42 times in 1980不能用的原因应该是会引起歧义,到底是哪个的42倍。补出their pay就是为了消除歧义吧。


个人意见,继续讨论!!

LZ你点的那个B是对的.个人看法.
作者: carolhide    时间: 2006-1-15 11:06

我把题目又输入了边,这样大家都看清楚了!


A recent review of pay scales indicates that CEO's now earn an everage of 419 times more pay than blue-collar works, compared a ration of 42 times in 1980.


(A) that CEO's now earn an everage of 419 times more pay than blue-collar works, compared a ration of 42 times


(B) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar works, a ratio that compares to 42 times


(C) that, on average, CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar works, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio


(D) CEO's who now earn on average 419 times more pay than blue-collar works, as compared to 42 times their pay, the ratio


(E) CEO's now earning an average of 419 times the pay of blue-collar works, compared a ration of 42 times

CEO’s是CEO的复数。因为CEO是简称(可以还因为它的最后一个字母是元音),所以它的复数是CEO’s而不是CEOs。从题目所有的选项来看,没有一个是把CEO’s当成所有格来用的。


我也觉得应该选B。

有人同意c的吗?


难道新的模考软件除了数学,其他题也有bug?

你用的是哪个摸考软件啊?是最新的那个用java写的GmatPrep吗?

这题同GWD1-7一样,参考此链接

这题我觉得是这样的:indicate that+说明的情况,d,e中,indicate的说明对象成了ceo‘s,改变了句子的说明重点,而且be compared to是比较固定的用法。

太奇怪了,我选的是b,但是如果their pay指代的是blue-collar worker's pay的话,419 times the pay of blue-collar workers,as compared to 42 times their pay好像还是挺工整的。

作者: jandjshi    时间: 2006-3-28 07:59
严重支持B. C中的ratio in 1980也有歧义, 既可修饰419times, 也可修饰42 times.
再次证明GmatPrep中bug太多.

误人啊!

什么狗屁题啊,答案都不一样..
作者: demon_hunter    时间: 2006-4-19 16:57

"their pay"中的their应该指代的是CEO'S.
所以应该选C。

我开始做的时候也错了,呵呵~~

their从逻辑角度显然应该指代workers,但是不明白为什么没有指CEO‘s的歧义

有谁能从GmatPrep里截个这题的解释看看?


作者: dori0214    时间: 2006-8-14 14:06

把that换成ratio代入就看出来了

ratio compares to 42

compare应该只有人可以作主语,当然,compared更为普遍

嗯。。再看一下their错的更严重。。而且好像也有 a compare b的例子。。

肯定的说,不是BUG,

在ETS中,习惯于使用重复先行词来表明修饰对象,以避免歧义.

此处,先行词为RATIO.

其实这是个小技巧,发现很麻烦的句型中,忽然发现前面一个词的重复来做先行词的话,二话不说就可以选,正确率在90%以上.

可以统计的.


作者: kathy8446    时间: 2006-8-14 22:13
是啊……vifrancebo的分析也是支持C的吧?
作者: kathy8446    时间: 2006-8-29 18:19

今天又看了遍这题,开始觉得,如果用compare主动真是不可饶恕的错误的话,那么C还是勉强说的过去的。毕竟CEO's now earn 419 times the pay of blue-collar works, as compared to 42 times their pay, 对仗满工整的,这样就可以勉强消除their的歧义,况且their修饰的是最近的workers,很多代词修饰的歧义都是在代词和要修饰的词之间插了其他词(这个说法不知道大家还能认同?)

另外the ratio in 1980就当是42 times的同位语了,修饰最近的一个吧

根据在CR大全里搜到的as compared to的用法,发现这个词一出马,想比较什么比较什么,都没有歧义的担忧(神奇~),也不用管句子的结构。

例如:Only 6.5 percent of plastic is not being recycled, as compared to 33 percent of container glass.

如果这个是比主语的话,还有

The number of people diagnosed as having a certain intestinal disease has dropped significantly in a rural county this year, as compared to last year.

关于compare的主动用法,虽然在longman里有,但我觉得这题的意思并不适用

3
[intransitive]to be better or worse than something else
compare (favourably/unfavourably) with something The quality of English wines can now compare with wines from Germany.How does life in Britain compare with life in the States?The imported fabric is 30% cheaper and compares favourably (=is as good) in quality.
4
something doesn't/can't compare (with something)
if something does not compare with something else, it is not as good, large etc
The rides at the fair just can't compare with the rides at Disneyland.

这里有一个能不能比得上的感觉在

要是普通的比大小,还是得用被动

compared to/with something
used when considering the size, quality, or amount of something in relation to something similar
a 20% reduction in burglary compared with last year Compared to our small flat, Bill's house seemed like a palace.
