标题: tt gwd-23-13提问

Researchers hypothesize that granitic soil is the ideal construction material for the desert tortoise because it is not so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft that it could cause tunnels to collapse.

so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft that it could cause
hard enough to make burrowing difficult or soft enough as to cause
so hard as to make burrowing difficult or soft enough so it causes
as hard as to make burrowing difficult or as soft as to cause
too hard, making burrowing difficult, nor too soft, so as to cause

the answer is A, but what is wrong with D? Is it "as ... as to"?

作者: hetao1013 时间: 2006-10-28 09:15
D的语法不对吧,as adj as + sth 这里缺了一个名词;另外,as adj as + sth 和 so that 之间的意思还是有差别的，在有更加选项的情况下还是不选它，与so that 同义的有so as to,当然了，后面接的不同了！这是鄙人见解，欢迎指正！

作者: bluegold998 时间: 2006-10-29 09:22
但是我觉得as hard as 后面可以看作省略了for tortoise不是吗？

作者: bluegold998 时间: 2006-10-29 09:23
一般我也选so that，但这题感觉d更平行一些，其实a也是蛮平行的。

作者: kenworth 时间: 2006-10-29 20:57
记得中学时老师讲过，否定一定不要选not as …… as，而要选not so …… as.

作者: bluegold998 时间: 2006-10-31 07:53
否定可以是not as... as,但是肯定一定不能是so...as。

请大家看一下E, not too hard...nor too soft...，和前文的ideal呼应得很好...有人可能会说so as to不能放在复杂句中，但这句去掉not too hard...nor too soft其实也是简单结构--is too soft so as to cause tunnels to collapse.

To be discussed.

这道题我选E,难道没有人选e么？

没有选A的原因是因为：so...that...结构在that从句中如果有情态动词则表结果，有情态动词的话表目的so hard that it makes burrowing difficult or so soft that it could cause，这个could觉得不合适; 逻辑意思上来讲，为了使隧道坍塌好像不合理。

我觉得从逻辑意思上讲，应该强调这种花岗岩土客观的结果，E. too hard, making burrowing difficult, nor too soft, so as to cause，这里的分词短语作伴随结果状语，so as to 也表示结果，逻辑合理, 虽然结果有点不平行，但是逻辑应该是第一的。

顶一下，大家继续讨论啊！！期待nn给出比较权威可信的解答

从平行上说，应该为 D, 从表达上说，应该为 A,

考虑到因果关系，A 要好一些

大家好像都被平行关系吓住了

以下是引用michaellu97在2006-12-13 21:59:00的发言：

考试一看到平行就很happy了,要是在题目出的靠后的话,就直接秒杀了,哪有时间考虑因果啊啊?

估计要能起质疑的,可能就是not 后面经常用so 吧

must be D

我认为应该是D,

A的表达在意思上说不通,应该为:
Researchers hypothesize that granitic soil is the ideal construction material for the desert tortoise because it is not so hard that it doesn't make burrowing difficult or so soft that it could not cause tunnels to collapse.

so...that...之后的东东应该是个"真"的结果.(忘了是在哪里看到过的,好像是这么个理.)

比较一下:He was not so unlucky that he passed the exam. 和 He was so lucky that he passed the exam.
这两句是一个意思, not so unlucky = so lucky

回到原题, not so hard = so soft, not so soft = so hard, 替换后再检查A,发现意思完全不对.

然而,D中as...as表示"...以至于",不要求其后结果为"真".
另外,在否定句中可以用as...as...,只是在肯定句中不能用so...as...
D的结构还是最平行的,舍其取谁?

E中的意思同样存在问题: 伴随状态"making..."应该与"not too hard"意思相同,
也就是说,应该为not too hard, making burrowing easy, ...

我找到的原句出处。E吧

A NOT SO THAT

D NOT AS AS

有正式语句可以用这两种结构么？欢迎继续讨论

作者: NOTALOSER 时间: 2008-11-10 15:08
vote for E，之前看了半天发现没人讨论E，好在最后还是发现了有人支持E的，E从意思上是最简洁最无歧义的，前面的要不然就是不平行要不然就是短语不能用到否定结构中

原句用的是not ……or……,我想知道这在GMAT里是正确的吗？

D的语法不对吧,as adj as + sth 这里缺了一个名词;另外,as adj as + sth 和 so that 之间的意思还是有差别的，在有更加选项的情况下还是不选它，与so that 同义的有so as to,当然了，后面接的不同了！这是鄙人见解，欢迎指正！
