Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimes undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.
A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood
that a particular asteroid or comet may
B. a scale that astronomers have developed rates how
likely it is for a particular asteroid or comet to
C. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely
a particular asteroid or comet will be to
D. astronomers have developed a scale for rating the
likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will
E. astronomers have developed a scale that rates the
likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may.
此题答案是C,
我在C与D间选择,还是不确定
C中的will be to,太奇怪了
D的话,for rating 在这里没to rate好;还有形容词优于名词,这里的likelihood没C的likely 好
C中的be to去掉了,我就觉得很完美;
难道be to可以表示不确定的意思;可是石林说,be to表示主观意愿,在GMAT中，一般都是不对的啊!
晕了!
请NN指教!
rate
vt.
估价, 认为, 鉴定等级, 责骂
vi.
被评价, 责骂
对吗?
还有其他用法吗?
谢谢MM!
谢谢MM
这套题太多题做得跟答案不一样
有很多看了答案还想不通
所以,想请大家帮帮忙了
支持D,
will be to 太不好了
'for rating' is ok
3x
I see!
D
C：will be to错误
will＝be to都表将来
C是对的:正常语序为a particular asteroid or comet will be likely to ...
把likely调到句前让这句子显得有点怪,其实还是见得少.
我也选了D,不过D的意思错了,GMAT里就多这种SC.
觉得这题rate后面用名词比用从句好，另外，二狼神，你仔细看看，D的意思是没错的，因为都是在讨论可能性。我误选了E，是因为一直以为likelihood后面加of而非加that，实际上是我搞反了。
C中的will be to让人很难接受。因此我偏向D。
D:a scale for rating the likelihood that a articular asteroid or comet will
这里用would更好. C是我们见得少,看看洋人写的东西很多都有这个用法的.

for your reference. D looks more like the original sentence, therefore should be the best answer.
倾向选C
D的for rating表示目的，是典型错误，应该用to rate替换
C的likely被提前，没有错误。
我在做题的时候也选的D, 不过分析了一下觉得还是倾向于 C
如果 D 改成如下, 那肯定选D
astronomers have developed a scale to rate the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will collide with Earth.
C 其实从语法的角度来讲没有问题，正如二郎神说的
正常语序为a particular asteroid or comet will be likely to collide with Earth. 这里作为从句则变成答案 C
astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet will be to collide with Earth
有沒有人覺得C的句意上會不會有點奇怪
感覺C的意思好像是"只"去rate how likely "a particular asteroid or comet" will be to.......
好像只針對某一個似的!!
(還是我的錯覺，看半天看不出所以然來，有點暈了)
我想问一下,may这种情态词可以省略或者替换吗
或者是因为这里的may与likelihood重复了?
超级菜鸟提问!!
in C, the sentence should be modified into " a particular asteroid or comet will (be to ) collide with Earth.", at the same time, without changing the meaning of the sentence.
"be to" is unnecessary here.
so, D is best.

不行了 顶起来
模考的时候选的C； how likely...will be是一个成分，和后面的to没关系，应该没错
nn请
DDD
越看越晕啊~~
,虽然倾向选C
但,D中如果反for rating 改为 to rate行不行呢?
还是支持C,LIKELY前置
be likely to没有问题, 与will一起也不重复
ding
赞成C.
develop sth. to do比develop sth. for doing更合理
C的意思是will be, to...，to
It's likely for sth.(....will be) to do
vote for D. never see be to do correct.
我认为C是正确的。
C中的will be to collide不等于will be to do，而后者是典型的错误
前者其实是倒装：to rate how likely a ... to collide with Earthe will be
how引导宾语从句，从句中a particular asteroid or comet是主语， to collide with earth是主语的定语。
will be是宾语从句谓语
大家讨论，不知理解是否正确

大家讨论，不知理解是否正确
我同意C，不过我理解是likely倒装，应该是how a ...... will be likely to collide with Earth.
还有表达目的应该用 develop sth to do（开发 sth 用来 do), 而不是 develop sth for doing; 以前的题目中的确出现过for doing的正确选项，不过好像都是provide support/evidence for doing (为....提供支持/依据）, 如GWD21-Q21。 所以D选项的 for doing 在这里好像有些不妥。
欢迎大家继续讨论。
还是选C
支持D
for也是可以的吧，下面这题
New genetic evidence—together with recent studies of elephants’ skeletons, tusks, and other anatomical features—provide compelling support for classifying
A. provide compelling support for classifying
B. provide compelling support for the classification of
C. provides compelling support to the classification of
D. provides compelling support for classifying
E. provides compelling support to classify
查了一下scale for的用法，New York Times
Dr. Tetsuya Fujita, a meteorologist who devised the standard scale for rating the severity of tornadoes and discovered the role of sudden violent down-bursts of air that sometimes cause airplanes to crash, died on Thursday at his home in Chicago.
而且D是最接近原文的。 原文from New York Times:
To help deal with public fascination -- and sometimes undue alarm -- about possible threats from asteroids, astronomers have adopted a scale that rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or comet will collide with Earth.

大家讨论
支持D，其中for的用法很明显是做为scale的定语修饰，表scale的用途的，从time的原文上也可以看出这个用法（time原文中是用that来修饰scale的，所以ets改为for来迷惑大家）。
稍微瀏覽了一下大家過去的討論 怎麼沒人選E呢
請問 E哪裡不好
C是对的:正常语序为a particular asteroid or comet will be likely to ...
把likely调到句前让这句子显得有点怪,其实还是见得少.
我也选了D,不过D的意思错了,GMAT里就多这种SC.
这样看就对了，还是C最好.
应该是C 不要再看那个什么所谓的原文和谁接近,既然有不一样,差一个单词就不能以它为标准了啊,那个"原文"里用的是likelyhood不代表有likelyhood 的选项就对啊,仔细体会todo和for doing 会觉得他们有很大不同,前者是in order to的意思比较多,后者更倾向于"为了```提供```"对象是一个整体而少是一个动作,反正就是感觉了我也不知道自己说清楚没有,
再者C 的语序是杨鹏难句里常说的倒装拉`~看惯了就不觉得怪了.在读这个句子的时候在will be那里停顿一下就会觉得顺多了
所以支持C ~
我认为C是正确的。
C中的will be to collide不等于will be to do，而后者是典型的错误
前者其实是倒装：to rate how likely a ... to collide with Earthe will be
how引导宾语从句，从句中a particular asteroid or comet是主语， to collide with earth是主语的定语。
will be是宾语从句谓语
这题真的很搞, 都好几年了.
in my view:
C对, develop a scale in order to rate.
D的"for rating"不对.
for doing不做目的状语的时候是不需要改为to do不定式的，这里只是for doing只是进一步说明scale，“针对rate...的scale”，跟GWD之前有个evidence provided support for doing是一样的；
C选项的be likely to do sth是没有问题的，但是错误在will，be likely to do已经含有将来的意思了，不需要再使用will了，我好像没有见过will be likely to do sth的结构，寡闻了。此题我之前也犹豫了很久，昨天突然想到，望指正！
我感觉这题C D两个选项语法上都没问题，C中的will be to 其实就是will be likely to ,D中的for doing 也没问题，因为正如楼上所说的 跟GWD之前有个evidence provided support for doing是一样的，
所以应该是那个更好的选择，还望NN 解答，为何C比D更好

provide...for...是固定搭配，并不意味着表示目的可以用for doing，所以D在这点上不如C

C应该是将likely前置了.为了强调likely,GMAT最喜欢这样写句子,OG里面到处都是这样的
D的for rating 不好.
前面有MM搬出原文驳C,但是原文用的是that rates,rate 用做动词,怎么都比动名好吧,
what about E?
LIKELIHOOD和MAY意思重复，从上面的选项可以感觉出来
lease keep in mind that just because one answer choice is correct doesn't mean that EVERYTHING that's different about another choice is wrong. Sometimes the GMAT tosses out a split that just doesn't matter (although this is far less common than splits that matter)..| 欢迎光临 ChaseDream (https://forum.chasedream.com/) | Powered by Discuz! X3.3 |
