标题: 885 section B-2.8.10
885section B
2.    Modern critics are amused by early scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as an ethnographic treatise.
(A) scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as
(B) scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as if
(C) scholars, categorizing of Tacitus’s Germania as
(D) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania as
(E) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania if

the answer is A, mine is D
我现在觉得XDF 的答案是错的，试着把句中的被动句返成主动句，就是， scholars’ categorizing ….. amuse Modern critics. 逻辑不通嘛。

8.    One pervasive theory explains the introduction of breakfast cereals in the early 1900s as a result of the growing number of automobiles, which led to a decline in horse ownership and a subsequent grain glut; by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored.
(A) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored
(B) persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium
(C) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, it restored market equilibrium
(D) the persuasion of people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium
(E) market equilibrium was restored when people were persuaded to eat former horse feed

又不理解B为什么是答案了， persuading 的发起者是谁呢？？后半句话怎么和前半句连起来呢？？

10.    The work of mathematician Roger Penrose in the early 1970s, on the geometry of what are called aperiodic tiles, turned out to describe the architecture of a previously unknown class of crystals.
(A) what are called aperiodic tiles, turned out to describe
(B) what is called aperiodic tiles, describes
(C) aperiodic tiles, describing
(D) so-called aperiodic tiles, describe
(E) aperiodic tiles, it turned out to describe

为什么是A，不是B 呢？ A 不是主谓不一致嘛？on the geometry of what are called …….

The logical relationship is OK about answer A,

Sb's doing sth. amuseed Modern critics.
as to D,actually I made this mistake too, it said scholars amused Modern critics, and it is not the thing what the author want to say.

i agree with teh Lake
1, gerund can be a subject. sometimes, it's the thing itself that causes something else. the first 2 questions both r in this case. eg. Eating too much is not good for ur health.
2, pay attention to parallelism and tense

E答案错是因为the awkward passive voice吧？　OG上常常这样说.

作者: eSpirit 时间: 2004-10-27 18:07

第8题单单从划线部分句子本身来说确实是B最好，但是放在整个句子中，就不知道是什么意思，充当什么成分？

第10题describe的主语应该是the work of methematician，所以只有B是保持了主谓一致啊。为什么答案又不是B呢？

(A) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored
(B) persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium
(C) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, it restored market equilibrium
(D) the persuasion of people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium
(E) market equilibrium was restored when people were persuaded to eat former horse feed

这里E答案我认为很合适，清楚明白，虽然用来两个被动，但是ETS也没说过被动不能用，只要被动能使句子意思表达更清楚就应该用。这里恰恰如此。而B 呢，用复杂的动名词结构作句子主语，不简洁！

如果一定要给E找个错，我感觉只能是，eat former horse feed, 人吃的是现在的（以前被用来做马饲料的）cereal, 而不是以前的马饲料。

作者: eSpirit 时间: 2004-11-14 23:31
但答案是B，E不对，用when有一种在一个时点上的感觉。

作者: QQ虫 时间: 2005-1-26 15:57
e还是可以吧，虽然是被动，FEED是名词，饲料的意思。而且E“former horse feed”比B中“what had previously been horse feed ”更简洁。

2. Modern critics are amused by early scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as an ethnographic treatise.

(B) scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as if
(C) scholars, categorizing of Tacitus’s Germania as
(D) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania as
(E) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania if
应该选A,这样理解啊,早期的scholars怎么可能去amuse现代的critics呢?他们早就死了,没办法去嘲笑后人

应该选A,这样理解啊,早期的scholars怎么可能去amuse现代的critics呢?他们早就死了,没办法去嘲笑后人

两个问题：

1. early scholars（或许是1980年代的？）真的不能amuse modern critics?

2. scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania的表达实在非常别扭。

另外对大全-B-8，我还是不明白，觉得E比B感觉好！

敬请大家指点！

(A) what are called aperiodic tiles, turned out to describe
(B) what is called aperiodic tiles, describes
(C) aperiodic tiles, describing
(D) so-called aperiodic tiles, describe
(E) aperiodic tiles, it turned out to describe

为什么是A，不是B 呢？ A 不是主谓不一致嘛？on the geometry of what are called …….

这个题还是没有说清楚啊，为什么不是B，而是A？

我的理解是用what作主语，谓语应该是用单数的is。

http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=23&ID=20256这里讲的也是不明不白

(B) scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as if
(C) scholars, categorizing of Tacitus’s Germania as
(D) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania as
(E) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania if

the answer is A, mine is D

不是sb's doing 是错的吗？？？

作者: sandiegotj 时间: 2005-8-12 13:12

the phrase sb's doing is not appropriate,thus not the best answer, but it's not totally wrong...

ETS has the right to decide when you have to take it as an error..

former horse feed不能清楚表达what had previously been horse feed 的意思吧~~~~~~

作者: mahl 时间: 2006-3-13 06:48

第10题describe的主语是the work of sb.但aperiodic tiles是复数，所以只能用what are called，再加上本题描述的是著作出版时Roger的理论，用过去时turned out做谓语比较合适,并不存在主谓不一致。

[此贴子已经被作者于2006-3-13 6:49:09编辑过]

作者: mahl 时间: 2006-3-13 07:11

第10题describe的主语是the work of sb. on the geometry of what are called aperiodic tiles只是用来说明这部著作是关于什么的。aperiodic tiles是复数，所以应用what are called,除了这一点，B虽然保持了主谓一致，但由于这部著作描述的是出版时的理论，所以用过去时比现在时好。

2. Modern critics are amused by early scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as an ethnographic treatise.(A)
(A) scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as
(B) scholars’ categorizing Tacitus’s Germania as if
(C) scholars, categorizing of Tacitus’s Germania as
(D) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania as
(E) scholars who categorize Tacitus’s Germania if
这道题还是不太理解。

通过比较A是比较优，但是这里面的as an ethnographic treatise是什么成份啊？

是categorize ...as的用法么？可是没有查到categorize有这种用法啊。

nn来指点一下~~

为什么不能是学者本人“娱乐”了critics呢？

GMAT不是不喜欢“所有格+动名词”这种结构么？

不过现在仔细想一想，从逻辑上好像确实应该是将....归到...之类这种行为amuse了critics

那是不是说要首先考虑逻辑的合理性，即使语法上不是那么舒服？

作者: Bill06 时间: 2006-9-20 23:58

(A) by persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed, market equilibrium was restored

(B) persuading people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium

(D) the persuasion of people to eat what had previously been horse feed restored market equilibrium

(E) market equilibrium was restored when people were persuaded to eat former horse feed

这题选B比D好是因为动词优于其名词形式，个人认为persuasion比较抽象，直接用动词的现在分词作主语。

不过这题偶选的是E, 郁闷！觉得E比B更好， E不对仅仅因为former这个词不合适么？

第八题我也选E耶

哪位牛牛出来解惑一下这题确切的解释

感激不尽

作者: sch 时间: 2007-7-6 12:57

有NN解释,第八题里,那个 former用的不好,确切的指明了,"人现在吃的就是马当年吃的那坨草料".

但是我觉得主要问题,还是when用的不好.

原句主要是是想表达一个"方式",通过XXX,结果造成了YYY.

但是E用when,句子意思成了强调一个"时间相关"的句子,"当XXX,YYY发生了",没有强调出因果关系来.不见的XXX就是造成YYY的原因,只是2者同时发生而已.

Q10 - "what are called" refers to "aperiodic tiles" (复数)。"Turned out to” 不能被省略，因为它表示时间先后。
