103. Students in the metropolitan school district lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming ever more dependent on information-based industries.
(A) lack math skills to such a large degree as to make it difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming
(B) lack math skills to a large enough degree that they will be difficult to absorb into a city's economy that becomes
(C) lack of math skills is so large as to be difficult to absorb them into a city's economy that becomes
(D) are lacking so much in math skills as to be difficult to absorb into a city's economy becoming
(E) are so lacking in math skills that it will be difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming
In A, lack is modified by a wordy and awkward construction, to such a large degree as to make it difficult to. B is similarly flawed, and to a large enough degree that is unidiomatic. C is ungrammatical because it uses lack as a noun rather than as a verb: the phrase beginning Students... becomes a dangling element, and them refers illogically to skills rather than students. Additionally, A, B, and C fail to use one or both of the "-ing" forms are lacking and becoming; these forms are preferable to lack and becomes in describing progressive and ongoing conditions. D uses the "-ing" forms, but so much... as to be difficult to absorb is an awkward and unidiomatic verbal modifier. Choice E is best. 请问,为什么C中的them存在指代歧义的问题,而ABE不存在这个问题呢??
我的看法:
首先说C,OG的意思是说lack是名词,is前面的部分就变成两个名词“student”和“lack”同时存在,且没有介词或连接性的成分将两者合乎逻辑的联系起来。student就变成了一个多余的,无法在句中合理充当成分的词。此情况下,them就只能指代lack of math skills,就是is的主语。
这里还有一个问题就是为什么OG说them指代skills而不是lack。对于A of B的中心词判断,我也不太清楚。而且这里的C本来就是一个有问题的句子,无法深究了。
B中,they是从句主语,正好指代主句主语student,无歧义。
E中的them是在主句的修饰成分中,我觉得当找代词的先行词时,应该先考虑主句主语和宾语,然后再考虑修饰成分中的词。
A中的them我还没想明白。
欢迎讨论。
好像给了我点启发,但是还感觉不太清晰。。。
号召多些人来讨论吧!
"为什么C中的them存在指代歧义的问题,而ABE不存在这个问题呢??" 楼主怎么得出这个问题我有点不清楚 根据og解释,我只知道a,b用法累赘 c,d语法有误,所以选e
到是d我犹豫了下,但楼主说指代问题 恕我水平有限 没有弄明白有 什么问题

就是说,ABE和C一样,句子中都有两个复数名次,OG既然说C有指代不清的问题,ABE里的them是否和C一样有指代模糊的问题呢??

The point here is whether much(Choice D) and larg(choice C) can modify many skills, obviously they can't, so C and D are ruled out.
In terms of A B, I think lack math skills to such a large degree is wordy, and little bit Chinese, don't you think?
hehe
(E) are so lacking in math skills that it will be difficult to absorb them into a city economy becoming E选项中的 it 指代谁呢? 我看og里面好像很少这样用的啊...
E选项中的 it 指代谁呢?
我看og里面好像很少这样用的啊...
it在此做形式主语
此外,这题用 be lacking in 来判断会简单很多。
以下出自LONGMAN DICTIONARY
be lacking in 特别与抽象名词连用
The teacher said that the child is lacking in confidence.
首先,A错了。 so as to 只可以用在be得简单结构
B,E指代没有问题因为从句代词指代主句主语
但是这不能说明B就对,因为B有更明显的毛病,1.lack becoming not parallel; 2. enough degree ... that is awkward...
