Q30:
Most insomnia is not an illness or a
physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a
reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a
job interview.
根据文后未划线部分并列,划线处末尾应为a reaction to …排除BCD(B罗嗦,C中as when中as为代词而非as…as形式,错)
根据句意,是not…but…结构,排除AB
D中it is多余
本题考点:so adj a….固定搭配,而非not so much as ----这个。。对么?
如果对,偶突然转不过弯来了,so much an illness是个类似so clever a boy一个结构么?那much修饰什么呢?我觉得要用much也只能表程度啊 如果把 so clever a boy 这种强调还原,那就是 a clever boy , 那要是把so much an illness还原呢??
可能是个傻问题,但是转不过来了,或者本身我对这题的理解就有问题,大家指教!!
这里不是so adj a….固定搭配,这里so much修饰not。
还有一个问题symptomatic是形容词
形容词不接of呀
不是名词才会接of吗?!!
上面都说错了吧??
我非常赞同开版者观点…本题就是在考not…but…
A.B两题用so much as…明显和句意冲突..本题意思是失眠不是一种严重的疾病或是生理上的状况…而是对药物反应、旅行焦虑、面是前的压力所有的一种症状..
刚好最近读到一篇有关失眠的报导…所陈述的言论和本题很像…所以不可能用so much as(表even)….而且本题后半段明显考平衡…在答案考量顺序上…平衡是绝对大于任何其它考试技巧….
故删B.C.D
而大家一定会觉得答案E很怪…那是因为没看过…
其实so much = such…是形容词词组…就像such功能一样做形容词…作为强调之用途…同样和such摆在冠词之前…另外be symptomatic of..是惯用语…亦为形容词词组…but后面省略is….平衡对称not…but…但是E里面用了maybe, 口语话得表达啊...所以E也不对啊 疑问中
查了字典:
not so much sth as sth: If you say that something is not so much one thing as something else, you mean it is more the second thing:
例句:They're not so much lovers as friends. / I don't feel angry so much as sad.
所以本题应该是A吧,an illness or a physical condition 前置
以平行的角度来看,A比较平行。名词对名词。An illness vs a symptom
not so much sth as sth 不是......而是......(此为固定搭配短语,
参见《高级牛津英汉双解词典》)She is not so much as poor as careless with money. 她倒不是穷而是太不在乎钱了。(词典上的例句)
本题答案应为A。
Most insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.
A. 只不过为了行文方便,便于理解和起到强调作用以便更加明晰句子的意思,将“an illness or a physical condition" 放到了"so much"之前。“正常”的行文应为Most insomnia is not so much an illness or a physical condition as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview. A选项为完美选项,无任何错误。an illness or a physical condition 与 a symptom of another problem 完美对称。该句的译文为:大多数失眠不是疾病或身理(物理)疾病,而是由于某些药物的反应、旅途的焦虑或工作面试的紧张而产生的一种症状。
B. an illness or a physical condition 与 symptomatic of another problme 不对称;逗号后有谓语动词,但前无连词。
C. not so much but 没有这样的词组(用法); that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction 不合语法。
D. not so much ... but, 没有这样的词组(用法);逗号后有谓语动词like, 但maybe为副词,不能连接句子。
E. not so much but 没有这样的词组(用法)。(有于很多人选E,我多说几句) E选项如用not...but...结构,so much 多余,且an illness or a physical condition 与 symptomatic of another problem 不对称。
该句主要的问题是没弄清词组 not so much sth as sth 的用法所致,所以多查词典对我们学习很有帮助。
搞得现在对答案都人心惶惶的~~555
这个题看来应该就是:
(1)not but平行结构排除A,B,D
(2)symptomatic of排除C
我感觉对于没有专业背景的人来说,A从句意上也说得过去。另外E中的maybe过于口语化,值得商榷。
