标题: 怀疑答案有错 (GWD27-18)

The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid Eros for a year, slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.

to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to
to make ever more and more precise measurements, which scientists are hoping to enable them
for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to
with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which scientists hope will enable them to
in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to

答案是C,我认为是A, 语法角度讲两个都没有错,但是我认为A中to make优于C中for making

请大家发表意见

偶觉得A中的them指代不清

作者: ericxixi 时间: 2006-9-18 21:33

这么说的话C中的they也是指代不清了,应该不是这个问题把

作者: 米可可 时间: 2006-9-18 21:50
measurements是不是应该用those指代更好？毕竟是复数形式……

作者: zlily424 时间: 2006-9-19 02:41

support A!

get closer to do sth. is better than get closer for doing sth.

作者: ericxixi 时间: 2006-9-19 10:16

今天又看了下题目,感觉C越看越不对,The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous ....... and scientists hope that they ......前后似乎缺乏逻辑联系.....整个句子用中文翻译就是:NEAR飞船环绕星星取得测量数据,科学家希望能了解太阳系的构成.

感觉没有A逻辑联系紧密,请大家踊跃拍砖

作者: Winbolin 时间: 2006-9-19 11:38

A, B, D都不選因為 enable "them" to... -->them指代不清, 可能指scientists 或measurements.

C---scientists hope that they...主動指代很清楚,隨然for+Ving不比to好, 但也是表示目的之意.

So I prefer C.

以下是引用Winbolin在2006-9-19 11:38:00的发言：

A, B, D都不選因為 enable "them" to... -->them指代不清, 可能指scientists 或measurements.

C---scientists hope that they...主動指代很清楚,隨然for+Ving不比to好, 但也是表示目的之意.

So I prefer C.

所以应该选 E

作者: candrow 时间: 2006-9-23 21:36

1. 用to表目的

2. 和C比起來, A的邏輯更緊密相連. C中and scientists hope that they will…好像是另外一個希望, 和發現本身沒關係.

3. enable to和be able to不能隨意代換. , 後者則是can.

有同感

作者: howardwang 时间: 2006-10-13 15:02

觉得还是C对。

A的问题主要有两点：

scientists hope 的后面如果是宾语从句，应该用that.

如果将scientists hope理解为插入语，则that指代measurements作为that scientists hope will enable them to understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago 的主语，则them 优先指代measurements，明显的指代逻辑错误。

而C则没有这方面的问题。for doing 表示目的通常是可以接受的；them 指代的也比较清楚。

作者: aqualon 时间: 2006-10-13 15:24

选C，them 指代不清

作者: uncertainty7 时间: 2006-10-17 02:33

A的them是指scientists

因為是"precise measurements" enable them.........

作者: heshaohua666 时间: 2006-12-12 14:31
逻辑意思为大，出题人只是想用一些无关紧要的语法来迷我们，选A.

作者: davidli8888 时间: 2006-12-12 16:34
C is my vote.

作者: beibei649 时间: 2006-12-19 17:09
be able to 很少有对的时候吧，C时态也难讲过去，而且C不是也有they，应该不是考代词指代问题，感觉是考be able to ，因此支持A

作者: chamcham 时间: 2007-6-19 14:10

no clue, C is totally ok, only by this, 1st sentence and 2nd sentence has no relationship.

作者: gonghao 时间: 2007-7-11 17:05

vote for A

open to discuss

作者: nickynicky 时间: 2007-7-11 17:15

我怎么觉得应该选D,不过好像那个,and which也不太对劲。

A的ever more没有比较对象

C应该肯定是不对的吧？

...for doing,表示某物是用来做什么的

the knife is for splicing the bread

表示目的，要用to do

有没有NN出来指点指点？

THANKS

作者: sasazan 时间: 2007-8-25 16:16
我也认为是A，for doing表目的GMAT很忌讳。而且在C中用and，但是and前后没什么很强的并列逻辑关系

作者: 流浪猫猫2008 时间: 2007-8-25 17:11

觉得还是C对。

A的问题主要有两点：

scientists hope 的后面如果是宾语从句，应该用that.

而C则没有这方面的问题。for doing 表示目的通常是可以接受的；them 指代的也比较清楚。

我的理解跟这位同学的差不多,因为A虽然用to do表目的应优于for doing,但是A里有个明显的语法错误就是measurement that scientist hope will...,that在此应指代measurement,引导定语从句并做该从句的主语,那么后面应该就是主语怎么怎么样才对,好的表达方式应该改为:measurement that will enable scientist to...才通顺.

我自己做题时也选C的,但我现在觉得还是A好,A更像答案,而且大家看一下我找的一道GWD题

to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to
to make ever more and more precise measurements, which scientists are hoping to enable them
for making ever more precise measurements, and scientists hope that they will be able to
with the purpose of making more precise measurements than ever, and which scientists hope will enable them to
in order to make more precise measurements than it ever did, and scientists are hoping they will be able to

GWD-29-Q10

The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions
that the company hopes will help merchants confirm a check’s authenticity, which includes reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view the watermark while holding the check to the light.

which includes reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view
which include reminders for watching the endorsement, to compare signatures and view
by including
reminders for watching the endorsement, comparing signatures, and viewing
including reminders to watch the endorsement, comparing signatures and viewing
including reminders to watch the endorsement, compare signatures, and view

A中的scientists hope应该做为插入语,A唯一不好的地方是them,可能会引起歧异
但相比C把原句的结构都改变了,A还是上选

作者: coldfire6 时间: 2007-8-30 01:44

A is wrong.

scientists hope will enable them to....

What is the use of hope? Subject or verb? Whatever.

I think A is right....

作者: jczephyr 时间: 2007-9-21 14:38

measurements that scientists hope will enable them to....

这个定语从句感觉上很有中国式英语的味道了，但没有找出明显错误根据。我认为them指代scientists挺清楚的，如果试图排除A选项，还有其他的线索吗？

作者: fg_bamboo 时间: 2007-10-7 09:02

还是不明白, 选项A的句子结构就有问题嘛

The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft(Subject)
                        will orbit
                        the asteroid Eros
                        for a year, slowly moving closer to the surface of the object to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope
                            will enable them to(here I can not understand what the Subject is and if the Subject is clear, it indicates that the sentence is wrong because in this case this sentence has two Subjects…)
                        understand how the solar system formed some four billion years ago.

主句是主谓宾, 然后跟着现在分词结构表连续不断的伴随动作,疑问就在于后面的WILL ENABLE THEN TO的主语是什么? 如果是measurements的话, 就太费解了...

请高手指点!! 谢谢!

作者: yangby03 时间: 2007-10-7 10:21

for doing 和 to do只是一个相对性错误，也就是说两个都可能是答案，但一般后者优于前者

而“谓语专一”原则就是绝对性错误了，A选项中的that引导的从句，有两个谓语，hope和will，缺少连词，所以肯定是错的

而c中的是两个句子并列，用and连接，后面等于是另一个主句，所以they指代主语scientists是没有问题的

作者: lsaurora 时间: 2007-10-7 12:53

今天看到这题，个人感觉还是a比较好

原因：

1）从句子的整体结构看，明显a比c要好，逻辑通顺的多

a中以slowly moving开头的现在分词结构修饰前面的(NEAR) spacecraft will orbit ，而这个分词结构中又用that引导的定语从句修饰measurements，整个结构清晰，简洁。

而c中and结构前后明显鸡同鸭讲，而且两分句主语之间的夹分词结构这种用法很容易引起“夹心修饰”的问题。

2）前面的争议主要在于复数代词they和them的指代是否清晰，og和gwd中是有不少题目涉及 N1...N2＋they（them）的情况，但这只是一个有效性错误，可以说明这点的例子很多，比如：

GWD30-Q17:
By the same techniques used for genetically enhancing plants, making them disease- or pest-resistant, researchers have been able to increase the amount of protein in potatoes, sweet potatoes, and tobacco.

A. By the same techniques used for genetically enhancing plants, making them
B. With the same techniques to genetically enhance plants, so that they are
C. Employing the same techniques used to genetically enhance plants so that they are
D. Employing the same techniques to genetically enhance plants, which makes them
E. Employing the same techniques for genetically enhancing plants that make them

这个题所有选项都同样存在两个复数名词之间夹they的问题。

3）hope和will连用，that是可以省略的，这点虽然不记得是在哪里看到，而且有口语化的嫌疑，但前辈找到的GWD题干基本可以说明问题。

GWD-29-Q10
The principal feature of the redesigned checks is a series of printed instructions that the company hopes will help merchants confirm a check’s authenticity....

个人意见，请大家指教。

这样的话, A似乎好理解多了...似乎可以将这个"that the company hopes"理解为插入语...

作者: lsaurora 时间: 2007-10-7 17:31

the new york times 上的原句：

The spacecraft will orbit Eros for a year, slowing moving closer to the surface to make ever more precise measurements, and greatly increase the understanding of what scientists believe are remnants of the formation of the solar system some four billion years ago

这里可以看出出题者对原文进行了怎样的‘ETS式’简化。

作者: Whitney 时间: 2007-10-14 08:42
Vote for A
to make ever more precise measurements that scientists hope will enable them to

"that scientists hope" is used to modify measurements
Here are several examples
It will be the analysis of this 3-D viewing that scientists
hope will enable them to better predict the sun's coronal mass ejections. {From NASA website}
Article on Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion
Collider, whose aim is to smash gold ions to create miniature Big Bang
explosions that scientists hope will recreate, for instant, state of
matter that existed microseconds after universe began 15 billion years
ago.
{NY times}

作者: ruru8ruru8 时间: 2008-8-5 14:38

Ａ选项中

如果说scientists hope是插入语，看主干的时候可以忽略不计，

那为什么出现在enable 后的
them 又说是指scientists
，不略过呢？

怀疑(A) +1

我可以接受scientists hope是插入语

既然是插入语

后面的代名词them就不应该再指代scientists

但依据句意

Them绝对是指scientists……….

我就是因为这个原因不选(A)选了(C)的………………..

这边for doing VS to do 的用法

我认为在这个句意里面两者都可以接受………

再盼NN指点迷津……..

作者: wangming 时间: 2009-8-27 16:35
现在有答案了吗？我还是觉得选A

作者: yangqianlei 时间: 2009-8-27 21:52

A选项中that scientists hope will enable them to可能指的是The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will orbit the asteroid 这件事，而并不是measurements, 因此不能用that指代，that只能指代具体事物，而C选项就没有这个问题。

按这样思考的话A的to make 固然好，但这只是C的有效性错误，但是A犯的是正确性错误，所以选C啦~

只能是这样解释了，也不知道对不对。希望能对LZ有所帮助！呵呵
